    These are all a Check

    4.B What team lost the Super Bowl held in its home city/region?

    LA Rams in the Rose Bowl, Pasa-get-down-dena, CA....

    (I cheated and found one more that I'd have never remembered...)

    These are all a check...though I may have said that Sam Wyche was wrong, he is right. I was thinking of his days as a Bengal...not realizing he was in the SB for the Skins in '72.

    Also, that one that you never remembered is the first one I thought of.

    So, there is one more name to name in this category

  • Here is what is left. Maybe someone else can give it a shot:

    4.B What team lost the Super Bowl held in its home city/region?

    LA Rams in the Rose Bowl, Pasa-get-down-dena, CA....

    This is a check

    5. What team won a Super Bowl held in its home state (aside from Niners game at Stanford)

    Raiders also in the Rose Bowl...

    Check

    9. There are 3 (or 4) other people besides Ditka who both played in and were the HC of a Super Bowl:

    Dan Reeves (as mentioned above)...

    Dungy played on a PTG championship team and HC'd Indy to their win.

    Our ole buddy Sam Wyche played for George Allen's 'Skins and coached Cinci to one.

    I know Jeff Fischer got a ring with the '85 Bears, but he never played in the SB due to injury.

    (I cheated and found one more that I'd have never remembered...)

    These are all a check...though I may have said that Sam Wyche was wrong, he is right. I was thinking of his days as a Bengal...not realizing he was in the SB for the Skins in '72.

    Also, that one that you never remembered is the first one I thought of.

    So, there is one more name to name in this category

    10. Number of teams that have won a Super Bowl:

    18?

    12. Song that was #1 on the charts the day SBI was played:

    (Cheated on this one, too... Never would have guessed it.)

    That's alright... When I cheated for what I thought was the missing man, I still missed Forrest Gregg. 😮

    Instead I thought Raymond Berry was the mystery man I was missing. Completely forgot that he HC'd the Patriots in '85 when the Bears dismantled them in the SB. But it turns out he retired as a player the year before the Colts lost to Joe Willie in SB3.

    Anyway seeing Forrest Gregg begs the question:

    How many former Browns coaches have taken teams to the SB?

    Gregg and Belichick

    49ers

    Cowboys

    Check,...but name the coaches

    Walsh - Seifert

    Johnson - Switzer

    Incorrect on the basis the Cowboys did not win back to back Super Bowls with 2 different Head Coaches. Switzer was Cowboys coach in 1994, Johnson won in 1992 and 1993, Switzer won it in 1995.

    You are right. My bad.

    So, it has only been done once: Walsh and Seifert.

  • Still two Browns' coaches who went on to win SB's to name...
