        4. Who is the all time leader in career pass completion percentage?

        I'm sticking with spencer lannings 1/1-1TD performance a couple of years back unless there's some other criteria I've missed.

          No.....I guess I should have qualified the question........The passer must have had a minimum 1500 attempts.

                    No, and No. It is because they were once known as the Redlegs that they are not the right answer.

                      Don't know the last two, but many won as they bounced around late in their "careers", e.g., Carr, so I'm going with "None... I think they all won at least one."

                          No, they are not. Only one is. Even if I buy what you say......I limited the question to the 1960-1965 era. You would do poorly on an LSAT, not being able to read a question

                          10. What MLB player in history was a member of the most World Series teams?

                          I think per his Obit it was Yogi. Check

                          11. Which of the following #1 overall draft picks were never a member of a Championship winning team (pre Super Bowl or post SB)

                          Don't know the last two, but many won as they bounced around late in their "careers", e.g., Carr, so I'm going with "None... I think they all won at least one."

                          Check....they were all part of a Championship team, even though a few were "backups".

                          12. Which Major League Baseball team has had its current name the longest time?

                          Cubs?

                          NO

                              If the city can change, then could be the Oakland Athletics who moved there from KC and before that from Philly. The Philadelphia Athletics were a very old franchise.

                              ... and obviously I forgot P. Manning in Q#1... guess I think of him as a GM already.. 😉

                                      Only the Dallas Texans, later known as the KC Chiefs won an AFL title those years and later a Super Bowl.

                                      B. Name those teams that won an AFL title, era 1960-1965 who have never won a Super Bowl

                                      The Bills won 2 AFL titles, as did the Houston Oiler nka Titans.....and the SD Chargers won one in 1963

                                      10. What MLB player in history was a member of the most World Series teams?

                                      Yogi Berra with 10. Joe Dimaggio is next with 9. A number of other Yankee players were on teams that won 8-7 WS.

                                      But, note this: the player that was on the most winning World Series teams, that was never part of the Yankees dynasties is Eddie Collins. He played on 6 World Series winners, with the As and White Sox

                                      11. Which of the following #1 overall draft picks were never a member of a Championship winning team (pre Super Bowl or post SB)

                                      Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Orlando Pace, David Carr, Keyshawn Johnson, Drew Bledsoe, Russell Maryland, George Rogers, John Matuscak, Bubba Smith, George Shaw, Charley Trippi

                                      Answer: None of the above. They all played on a Championship team. Even guys like David Carr (Giants 2011) and George Shaw (Colts 1950s) were backups on title winning teams.

                                      12. Which Major League Baseball team has had its current name the longest time?

                                      The Philadelphia Phillies have been known by that name exclusively since 1890. Second is the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1891

                                      The Cincinnati Reds would have tied the Phillies with 1890....but, in the 50s during the "Red Scare", they changed their name to the Redlegs...and that cut them off from the longest continuous name.

                                      And FYI....for the NFL, it is the Green Bay Packers. They joined the NFL in its second year of existance in 1921. For that 1921 season the Chicago team was still The Staleys. They became the Bears in 1922. The Cardinals name has been used since 1920....but of course they have been from Chicago to St. Louis to Arizona, so that part of the name has changed.

                                      In basketball....it is The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, both in use in the original 1946-47 NBA season.

                                      In hockey, it is the Montreal Canadiens.....in use continuously since the original NHL season of 1916-17

                                        I wonder if we're seeing the last of the great TD rushers in AP... He's approaching the 100 mark, but I don't think there is anyone close behind him.

                                          Here are the top active TD rushers:

                                          7.DeAngelo Williams (32)51 2006-2015 2TM

                                          8.LeSean McCoy (27)47 2009-2015 2TM

                                          9.Matt Forte (29)43 2008-2015 chi

                                          10.Jamaal Charles (28)42 2008-2015 kan

                                          Of course, Jim Brown, when he retired at age 29 had 106. Of the above list it appears that Shady McCoy has the best chance of reaching toward 100 in his career.....if he stays healthy....which he has not been lately.
