 The History of Collingwood's Four Horsemen.
Historical Notes: In a time of darkness for the Collingwood Football Club, in a time of crisis and seemingly unending despair, there is but one group which continues to bear the standard of hope and epitomize the phantasm of class, poise, and the excellence of execution.
Subsequently, the fortunes of the Collingwood Football Club implode without this pivotal cornerstone to their foundations.  They rocket into a downward spiral which sees them plummet to a record of 1-7, this effort culminating with a demoralizing capitulation to one of their most-hated arch-foes, the inept, corrupt and treacherous Carlton Football Club.
Horsemen conservator and historian, Old Man Tazz, suggests that there were simply too many alternatives to constitute a 4 Horsemen Stable in this year, but when pressed he relents and submits that the 98 Stable will run successively.

 The Four Horsemen by Metallica Songfacts
The concept of The Four Horsemen is not limited to The Bible.
In 1924, a sportswriter referred to The Notre Dame football team's backfield as "The Four Horsemen," and the school had the players pose on horses with their uniforms on to publicize the team, which was coached by the legendary Knute Rockne.
The horsemen aren't "named" per se (except Death who is directly named) in Revelation, but there is little doubt what they are to do.

 Part 11 of 10 (Bonus Issue): Knute Rockne - Mr. Corvallis
In 1922 he had introduced the world to four running backs sportswriter Grantland Rice would a few seasons later turn into "Four Horsemen." In 1925, his boys had crushed a good Stanford team in the Rose Bowl 27-10.
OSU in the 20s was certainly not in the mainstream of America's football culture and this fact begs the obvious question: why would a football coach who could go anywhere in the country decide to come to Corvallis to teach, not just once but four times?

 Judge Orders N.F.L. to Permit Young Athletes to Enter Draft
federal judge ruled yesterday that the National Football League's rule restricting younger players from entering the draft was in violation of antitrust laws, opening the way for Maurice Clarett, the Ohio State running back, to be eligible for the draft this year.
But Judge Scheindlin, in a 71-page decision laden with football metaphors and allusions, said the N.F.L. had failed to justify Clarett's exclusion from the draft, and she found that the league's draft restriction amounted to a restraint of trade.
Judge Scheindlin's decision could open the door for football players to make a similar leap, including the 20-year-old Clarett, who sued the N.F.L. in September.

 In College Football, the Pinstripes Belong to Notre Dame - New York Times
In the 1920s, the Fighting Irish gave college football Knute Rockne and the Four Horsemen, creating something called the Notre Dame mystique.
“They are the New York Yankees of college football, and you either love them or loathe them, but everyone cares,” said Michael Tranghese, the commissioner of the Big East Conference, which is the home for every major Notre Dame sport except for its independent football team.
By breaking ranks with the College Football Association, which was negotiating television rights on behalf of more than 60 other programs, Notre Dame diminished by tens of millions the value of the association’s rights.
