Football Trivia Questions.....

Neely8 · Post by **Neely8** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 6:37 pm

Work is having a Jeopardy game at our sales meetings and I have been asked to come up with some good football trivia questions. I have a few but wanted some real zingers. So I come to the best of the best...

Lay em on me.....

Only player to have two 90yd TDs from scrimmage?

I've heard that one used in trivia contests before, and it generally stumps everybody...except me, since I watched that game (as did many of you, I'm sure, since I believe it was a Monday Nighter, way back when), and it's probably my favorite game of all-time.

Define "play."

Yeah, and one of them is flashing back in my head.

It was Rams game... when they were the LA Rams.

Good ole' JT is a "trucker" now, driving trucks across country. Good guy, and very underrated.

I bet this question was a hit pre 2004 when Ahman Green joined Bo Jackson as the only player to have two 90+ yard TD runs .

It's got to suck when you get your own question wrong.

Nice find and it was THE game too ....

Upon further review... John Taylor did have 2 catches of 90+ yards in the same game in 1989 against the Rams.

Don't like the way you worded your question, Dins. But you're off the hook.

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Thu Feb 01, 2007 7:08 pm

First player with 1000+ yards both receiving and rushing in the same season?

Actually, I think it was a day game in LA. Could be wrong, but I doubt it.

No, I'm right...but yes, my wording absolutely sucked donkey balls, and rendered the question pretty much useless. No soup for me.

Since I was on a page with related topics anyway(Dins usually has some sort of sports facts page open at all times), I actually looked that up. My first two guesses were wrong...never would have got it on my own.

Hint -- he came from a school that knows about as much about pluralizing words as M2...

Staying with the newfound theme...which one of those has never lost a SB?

Which SB MVP made a used car salesman/most overrated jackass in NFL history his personal bitch for his entire career?

But on a more serious note -- only player with 5 Super Bowl rings?

That doesn't take the hint into account...since Desmond played for the WoverineS, if I'm not mistaken.

But, he was my first guess. MA was my second.

That's a great trivia question.
