    From my perusal of the Hall of Fame website for my trivia and other threads I decided to also check to see which Dynasty had the most Hall of Famers. So I am putting that info down here.

    For purposes of this tabulation however I am excluding owners. Some people have been owners for 50 years or more, so I wanted this to specifically deal with just the era of the dynasty. Some coaches I know have lasted longer but I did want them in here. So, here is the list:

    1960s Packers. 11 Hall of Famers:

    Vince Lombardi

    Herb Adderly

    Paul Hornung

    Ray Nitschke

    Jim Ringo

    Bart Starr (Ringo Starr!!)

    George Blanda

    Willie Brown

    Dave Caspar

    Ted Hendricks

    John Madden

    Jim Otto

    I note a bit of an oddity: the 1990s Bills, who lost all the Super Bowls, have more Hall of Famers (and may get another if Andre Reed makes it) than the 1990s Cowboys that beat them and won 3 of 4 SBs.

    Those Cowboys do have "the tripplets" with Aikman, Smith, and Irvin in, (and they had Deion Sanders for a few years) but that is it. Though they could get Larry Allen in.

    No, you are not. That is the whole point of it being a quiz.

    Did you cheat on your tests in school? Do you not think the teacher used the course book to make up her/his quizzes.

    This trivia is supposed to be an honorable test of your knowledge. And fun for everyone. If you just look up the fucking answers then that defeats the purpose of it.

    YOU are welcome to look stuff up and propound your own trivia quizzes. And I will try to anwer them to the best of my ability....from the store of knowledge in my head, not by looking things up.

    I readily acknowledge that I look stuff up to form these trivia quizzes. I certainly have at times drawn many questions from my own memory...but
