Team: Memphis Southmen (Grizzlies)
Years Active: 1974-1975
Home: Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium (Memphis, TN)
The Memphis Southmen began as the Toronto Northmen, charter members of the World Football League (WFL) in 1974. Owner John Bassett made quite a bold move signing three players (Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, and Jim Kiick) from the Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL), for a then unheard of some of $1 million each. Before the team could play a down in Ontario, though, the government threatened to enact a law to prevent any American football teams or leagues from operating in Canada. Bassett moved the team to Memphis and renamed them the Southmen, a name fans and the local media were not keen on. Inspired by the team’s helmet logo, they became unofficially known as the Grizzlies. Despite the three Dolphins not being available until 1975, the Southmen fared well both on the field and at the gate right from the start. After the league folded halfway through the second season, Bassett along with the owners of the Birmingham franchise, petitioned to join the NFL but were denied.
