Around SBN: A Look Back: Steelers-Chargers 2008 Regular Season MatchUp Bar-right-arrows



Tuesday Morning Trivia

It's Tuesday morning and that means it's trivia time. This week we have a submission from our own Kurupt to add to the fun. If any of you have any suggestions for players to use, (preferably with clues attached) just e-mail me and I'll give you all the credit. In this case player 1 is Kurupt's.

Player 1

- I scored 7 career TD's, 3 in my one season with the Bills.

 - I played just one season for the Bills, but have a Super Bowl ring
from my time in Denver.

- I left college as my school's all-time receiving yardage leader (since
eclipsed), which far exceeded a former Bills great's numbers.

 - I now run a surf retreat on the southern Baja Peninsula in Mexico and
a health food delivery business in California.

Player 2

-I spent 7 years as a Bill, from '94-'00 and recorded 21.5 sacks as a Bill.

- I finished my 10 year NFL career as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

- I played collegiately for the University of Colorado.

- I was the last of 3 second round picks by the Bills in 1994.

*Extra Credit*

Who were the first 2?

Player 3

- I am the only player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame without ever having played in the NFL.

- I played in 8 AFL All-Star games, and was named to the All Time - All AFL Team.

- I am a member of the All Decade team of the 60's.

- I was the 11th pick of the second round by the Bills in 1961, out of Georgia Tech.

Player 4

- I played collegiately at power house Bluffton College in Ohio.

- I am a member of the AFL Hall of Fame.

- In 1964 I set a record for averaging 27 yards per reception.

- I hold the record for the longest reception in AFL play-off history, 93 yards for a touchdown.

*Triple Extra Credit*

- Who was the QB who made the pass?

- Who was it against?

- What is my nickname?

I know who #1 is, so I’ll leave that up to guessing elsewhere…

2 is Sam Rogers. He was drafted behind, I believe, the now-famous Bucky Brooks and Lonnie Johnson – two busts – that season…

Off my game this morning. No clue on 3 and 4.

Lonnie Johnson & Bucky Brooks

Johnson had so much ability, and he flashed it every once in a blue moon. Brooks was a complete flop as a receiver, and is now a hack writer for SI.

3 & 4 were most likely long retired before you were even born, so I’ll give you a pass. Went a little old school today.

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

My try
  1. 1 is still out there for me – working on it.
  1. 3 is Billy Shaw, G.
4 is Elbert Dubenion aka “Golden Wheels”. Believe the 93 yard playofff pass was vs SD and thrown by ex-SD QB Jack Kemp.

Elbert Dubenion

"Golden Wheels" is correct, however the team and QB are wrong.

Got # 1 too

Took me awhile but knew it had to be a West Coast type of dude.

Justin Armour, WR Stanford

I withdraw my QB answer

Had to be the mad bomber then, Daryl Lamonica vs Boston Patriots then?

by freddyjj on May 20, 2008 9:16 AM EDT   0 recs

This lasted till 9:16 thsi time

Correct answers

1 – Justin Armour (courtesy of K)
2 – Sam Rogers bonus Bucky Brooks and Lonnie Johnson
3 – Billy Shaw
4 – Elbert Dubenion bonus Daryl Lamonica vs Boston Patriots, Golden Wheels

Good ones

Those last 2 I pretty much had no clue.

I knew Rogers, and then Brooks, but would have never guessed Lonnie Johnson. That guy definitely had ability too. Too bad.

Lonnie Johnson telling moment

Vs Green Bay, Fake Punt, he catches and turns up field and starts strutting – EGHHHH-Forgot about return man Darren Sharper who blew him up causing turnover I believe.

Good old Lonnie, looked like Tarzan, played like Jane.

haha

I was watching some 1994 highlights on the NFLN last week and that play was definitely shown. He got absolutely drilled…

I remember that play. Lonnie was actually looking back downfield. I even remember seeing it on a “worst plays”/ bloopers show.

Tasker

Wasn’t that his last game too? If I remember correctly, didn’t he get thrown out really earlier in the game as well?

by krytime on May 21, 2008 12:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nice work Sireric.

You must have heard stories from Papa Sireric to know anything about Shaw and Golden Wheels.

by krytime on May 20, 2008 3:10 PM EDT   0 recs

More like Papa Google

The old man hasn’t ever been into football. He’s more of a hunting/fishing/camping kind of guy. My football IQ is all self obtained.

Thats 1 reason I like doing these, I get to learn a little more about the Bills.
