I thought #4 would be a gimmie
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Is Leif Larsen not right? How I want that answer to be Leif Larsen…

I will be shocked if any body gets that one without doing some research.

I looked it up… gotta say, that’s a pretty obscure reference. Well done.

Make it a cold one
Actually, my memory was a bit off. After doing some research, I found out that Enyard was drafted the same year as OJ, but in the 2nd round. I may have seen him play in the Rockpile in ‘70 or ‘71. I remember a game against Johnny Unitas and the Colts and some big back not named OJ was carrying the ball (I think that the Juice was often used as a decoy at the time). Who knows…it may have been the “Black Tornado”. Hats off to the quiz master for a tough but interesting set of trivia questions.

I figured that #4 would be easy, and I knew someone would get #3 pretty quickly too. I thought the UTEP clue would give away Leif, but he might be a little tougher. For Enyart I must admit I had never heard of him before. I tried to keep the clues somewhat obscure and make that the tough one.
I’ve got some good ones lined up for next week.

On the road again
Missed this yesterday again but thought these were tough. Had Earthquake Enyart, Larsen and Bulldog but would have struggled with Booker Edgerson.
They are getting tougher each week!
