In modern day football, players like Billy “White Shoes” Johnson, Deion Sanders and Terrell Owens could be considered among the most recognizable “hot dogs” of the sport. They certainly are and were flamboyant in their on field celebrations.

However, from a vintage collecting point of view, the football cards issued in 1959-64 by the Kahn’s meat company of Cincinnati were the “hot dogs” of the day. Or, some might say the “big dogs.”

Most interesting, however, was a team from tiny LaRue, Ohio, the smallest city ever to have claimed the rights to an NFL team. They were called the Oorang Indians.
