Tuesday Morning Trivia

The trivia idea seems to have been well received, so it is going to become a Tuesday morning staple. The only problem I think I had last week was that I made the questions way too easy. Well I think that has changed. This time not only will there be 4 players that you have to identify, but there will be at least  1 extra credit bonus question for you to ponder. So without further ado...


Player 1
- I was drafted by the Bills, and played for the Dolphins as well during my short career.

- While playing at Virginia Tech, I won the Lombardi and Bronco Nagurski awards.

- I was the first player ever to win the Big East defensive player of the year award two years in a row, and the first to do so unanimously, which I did in ’98 and ’99.

- I recorded a record 17 sacks in’99 and finish with a total of 31 over the two year span, from ’98 to ’99.

Player 2
- I set the combine record of 52 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press, a record that still stands.

- I spent 2 years as the head coach and general manager of the Buffalo Destroyers of the Arena Football League.

- I have authored several children’s picture books.

- I spent 3 years in the USFL before joining the Bills in 1986.

*EXTRA CREDIT*
Name the two teams that I played for in the USFL.

Player 3
- I hold the record of the longest play from scrimmage that didn't score a touchdown: 98 yards.

- I was a two time All-American at the University of Oregon where I played wide receiver and running back next to teammate Dan Fouts.

- I was selected to 4 straight Pro-Bowls from 1978-1981.

- I was the fourth overall pick of the 1972 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.

Player 4
- I was the first ever AFL player to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season in 1962 earning MVP honors.

- I set the record for most rushing yards in a game with 243 vs. the Jets in 1963.

- I am the only athlete to turn down being enshrined into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame because of perceived racism and exploitation by management.

- I was signed to a pro contract out of high school by Paul Brown, which was against NFL rules, so I left to play in the ORFU for the Sarnia Imperials.

*EXTRA CREDIT*
What does ORFU stand for?

Good ones, sireric. My guesses:

1 – Corey Moore
2 – Ray Bentley
3 – Ahmad Rashad
4 – Cookie Gilchrist

EC#1 – Michigan Panthers, Oakland Invaders
EC#2 – Ontario Rugby Football Union

All without Google, folks. On my game this morning – if I’m right, that is…

I find it hard to believe

That you knew Ontario Rugby Football union off the top of your head.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

I found it hard to believe, too. I’ll admit that I Googled to check if ORFU was right, but I knew he was into rugby at one point. Do I get docked points for checking? :)

by Brian Galliford on May 13, 2008 7:12 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

Oh and btw sireric – your excellent trivia game absolutely destroyed any hope I had of studying properly for my 8AM final today. :)

I won’t even touch the ORFU one – I knew the league, but not teams.

Cookie played for the Hamilton Tigercats, Saskatchewan… somethings, and of course the Toronto Argonauts.

by Brian Galliford on May 14, 2008 10:31 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

2 1/2 points

Tigercats, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Toronto Argonauts are correct.

How in the world can you know the ORFU and not know the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen? That’s a house hold name, if ever I’ve heard one.
