Trivia Questions and Answers
-
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.

I know the top four and probably could get most if not all of the next six but in order eh?
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.
