Trivia Questions and Answers
-
See pal, you prove everything I was trying to convey in this one post.
You REFUSE to admit to admit how you routinely disrespect others on here. You just deflect. Doesn't surprise me.
And when I do look at your trivia (which isn't a bad thing), maybe it is just the manner in which your other posts go, but it seems like you enjoy telling others they are wrong.
You just THINK you are superior. And you ACT as if you are superior. But its just a defense mechanism. Sure, there would be some subjects you would know more than the vast majority of people on here because that would be your specialty. Just like others would have over you.
But please Mr. Self Righteous, go ahead and say you don't disrespect other folks on here who have the same right to be here and should expect to not be disrespected. I'll bet those folks you mentioned didn't feel disrespected by my answering it.
And no hoss, I NEVER lied. I admitted that I looked up the last person. I admitted I was wrong on Montana. So exactly what did I lie about?
You are just some crabby man who didn't experience any athletic talents in your glory days, so you learned to use your brain. Which is nothing wrong with that. But to be disrespectful to anyone who doesn't agree with you is out of bounds. All that does is show that you aren't intelligent enough to have a meaningful conversation about a topic. And you know nothing about me or others on here, which means you have no idea if you are more intelligent. I am sure you have some good retort though.
I will back off this if you do what you expect others to do, be truthful and admit their faults. Admit that you have been disrespectful, tried to explain away your incorrectness, and expected things that you weren't willing to give yourself.
But I'll tell ya what sport, I certainly won't hold my breath. And I am done with this conversation. Whenever I do decide to get back on here, if you have some kind of trivia up I will answer without looking (AGAIN, I LOOKED UP 1 PERSON this time, so YES I CHEATED, only to prove a point; see I admit things I do).
Peace out home slice. Go yell expletives at someone else and mock something they believe in. Hmm, notice in every one of these messages I have had to you I haven't had to use one expletive.

No...just to YOU.

I am superior to you....but then so is every single other person on this board.

The only one that should feel disrespected is YOU....because you are the only one that the statement applies to.

About that I made a claim that I knew all these answers without researching them. Of course I researched them and never claimed that I didn't. You just pullled that out of your arse.
You are just some crabby man who didn't experience any athletic talents in your glory days, so you learned to use your brain.
Except I did experience athletic talents and success...to a point. I played organized baseball or softball from like 8 years old until my Senior Year in HS. My Babe Ruth League won the local championship and went on to play in the State Tournament when I was 15. I was starting center fielder. I was trying out for the HS varsity league when I tore my ACL in practice. That put me out of action for 2 years (1968-1969...medical techniques and rehab for that injury are not what they are today. But I came back and lettered my Senior Year. Admittedly I was no star, but I did play. I was asked to try out for the Akron U baseball team, but the writing was on the wall there and I knew I could not compete at the college level. I stuck to playing in like local softball leagues after that. I did try out for the Varsity basketball team, but since they only had 12-15 members on the roster I was not quite good enough for that....either that or the coaches had the minds made up who was going to make the squad. Looking back, I have no quarrel with whom they selected, as there were several guys in my class in the six foot four, six foot five range with broad shoulders (in the late 60s..which was good size then...I was really a skinnier guy) And yes, looking back, they were better basketball players than I was. I was only 6'2" . Plus we had some underclassmen who were real sharpshooters, and while I was an OK shooter, I was not as good as they are. I think one of them still holds the school record for most points scored in a game...nearly 50 years later, pre-3 pt shot. Beyond that I was probably like most others on here: like I said, softball leagues, golf leagues, bowling leagues. While sure, there was a certain amount of competition in those, they were mostly just for recreation. But, yes, I always knew I was going to have to use my brain. While I was not in the Top Ten in PGA in my class, I was borderline Top 10% (meaning about Top 25 out of 250). But I came from a family that never knew what going to college was all about, so there was no direction there toward getting any scholarships or getting into any school other than the local commuter school....which is Akron U....and which was fine. I did well enough in college and on my LSATs to get into law school. I never got a penny in scholarships in either undergraduate or Law school. I had to work and pay my way through both. The only student loans I had to take out were for my 2d and 3rd year of law school, which were paid off on time. None of my other 5 siblings had more than a couple of college classes...except my brother did complete a trade like education at a farrior school in Oklahoma (Horseshoeing). So, yes, I am keenly aware of the value of education, which I instilled in my children and of which honestly I am most proud of. My son attended arguably THE best academic institution in the State of Ohio as an undergraduate(Kenyon); and he is now about to complete his PhD. in Molecular Biology/Biochemistry from Cornell University which of course is one of the 8 Ivy League schools in this country. My daughter attended perhaps the 2d best academic institution in the state of Texas (after Rice...Trinity) and is doing well with her very difficult teaching position...as well as getting married in about 21 days).

And when I do look at your trivia (which isn't a bad thing), maybe it is just the manner in which your other posts go, but it seems like you enjoy telling others they are wrong.
Let's see....this is a trivia quiz. So there is a correct answer. When someone gives an incorrect answer I simply say "NO".......what am I supposed to say? I say no to an incorrect answer so that either that person can try again, and so that others participating can know that that particular answer is wrong so they won't go there.
What else do you expect someone to say when a person has given an incorrect answer?
Beyond that, occasionally I have conversations on this forum here with people over opinions....like the surveys that I do where people give their opinions.
Have you never engaged in a sports debate? Like in a bar room....which is what all this forum is really. Before the internet you had to go to a bar to have a spirited debate, or do it in some other context. are you opposed to that sort of thing?
I mean, somewhat recently I had a spirited debate with a nephew about the basketball GOAT. IMO, Lebron is better than Jordan. And FYI....I would NOT put Jordan in my Top 5. Yessir: Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Magic, LeBron all go on my list ahead of MJ. That is my opinion everyone. Don't like it? TT. Russell led his team to far more titles than Jordan. Kareem won as many titles...and more MVPs. Wilt was....well...Wilt, the greatest physical force in the history of the game...look at the stats. Magic was a champion from Day one in this league, and may have had more if not for a couple of factors: HIV which curtailed his career, and Larry Bird and the Celtics. MJ never faced the competition that Magic did in the finals. MJ never faced the competition that LeBron faced in his many Finals (No team MJ ever met in the Finals was close to being as good as the Spurs or Warriors ever were)....and LBJ was/is the most well rounded, multi-skilled player the game has ever seen. He is a combination of MJ, Magic, and Karl Malone. I also think that MJ was very much a product of the coaching of Phil Jackson. Think about it....MJ never won anything without Phil, but Phil won 5 times without MJ. Phil had an MJ clone in Kobe, who is barely a pubic hair less of a player than MJ, if at all. And LeBron....he took teams to the NBA finals with coaches like Mike Browns, and David Blatt, and a couple of others whom he had success with. So, yes, MJ is in my 6-10 list, with Kobe and some others, but not Top 5 IMO.

Here is today's Trivia Question:
In their histories, the 4 teams in the AFCN (Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers).....have had 11 either WRs or TEs or combination receiving role who have played for these teams make the Hall of Fame. This figure also includes any WR/TE that had a "cup of coffee" with any of these teams.
Name these 11 WRs/TEs
-
Bonus Question:
Who was the last player who was designated officially as a Fullback to make the HOF?
-
We should know these (until you go to list them):
Ozzie of course our #1. Then Warfield, Swann, Ward, Stallworth the best Steeler, Tommy McDonald, the rest must go back a bit or are the cup of joe guys.

Name these 11 WRs/TEs
Answers, by team:
Ravens: Shannon Sharpe
Bengals: Charlie Joiner, Terrell Owens (I don't even remember him playing for the Bengals, but he did for a year)
Steelers: John Stallworth, Lynn Swann
Browns: Dante Lavelli, Mac Speedie, Tommy McDonald, Paul Warfield, Ozzie Newsome
Note: the Browns have as many as the other 3 teams combined.
Bold means that the team was the primary team that the player played for in his career. Non-bold means these players just had a "cup of coffee" with that team. (usually only 1-2-3 years at most)

Bernie, Sipe, Otto, Ryan, Phipps, Vinny T., Derek Anderson, Baker,
not sure after but maybe Kelly Holcomb, Hoyer

I think Milt Plum may be in there, in fact I'm sure he threw WAY more TDs for the Browns than Phipps! I can't believe Phipps would be top 10. Could Couch sneek in our top 10?

Mild success and any kind of longevity (in our sense of longevity) would do it. Yeah why not Couch- I forgot about him.
Plum too.
-
Otto, Sipe, Ryan, Kosar, Nelson, Couch, and Plum.
Not sure on the others. Mayfield is probably close to being there.
I'll guess Weedon & Phipps in the top 10.

Being that after the top 4 who had some kind of longevity and after the 1980s when the BROWNS went into the rent-a-quarterback stategy just about anyone could be close to the top 10 including Mayfield.
From 8-15 is anyone's guess.

I'm hoping Baker can play well for years to come. First, we need to have a season.

The top four - Otto, Sipe, Frank Ryan and of course Bernie.

Check on all of those in the first sentence....except Phipps.
But neither Holcomb or Hoyer make it.

Check on all you say. Plum and Couch are in Top 10. Phipps is not.
