Here's a neat little nugget.
In 1983, Dieter Brock was traded from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for quarterback Tom Clements (in 2000 was the QB coach for the Chiefs and now is the current Packers OC). This trade led to an exciting Grey Cup in 1984, as the Tiger-Cats and Blue Bombers faced each other in the championship game. Brock's Tiger-Cat team lost the game to Clements's Blue Bombers and Brock ended his career with many accomplishments, but without a Grey Cup victory. In 1985 Brock played for the Los Angeles Rams before retiring from football. Technically a rookie during his one season with the Rams, Brock led the team to an NFC Championship Game matchup with the Chicago Bears, and set team rookie records for passing yards (2,658), touchdown passes (16), and passer rating (81.8)
