    There have been several players with the last name Grant that have played in the NFL.   So, you can challenge all you want:   Your challenge is DENIED!!

    And yes,  I have kidnapped...sort of...mjps avatar, and will release it when he pays the ransom.

    The ones in Bold are right....though the only new one not already mentioned is Taft.

    Only one name left.

    No

  • Truman?

  • Canton MikeC Canton Mike

    Truman?

    @canton-mike said:

    Truman?

    Check 

  • All Done.    

    There has NEVER  been someone play in the National Football League  that had the exact same last name as   Seven (7)   of our Presidents. 

    Give those  7 names.  

    Answers and explanations:

    Fillmore

    Taft

    (nothing really close for Taft and Fillmore)

    Coolidge   (closest:   Cooley)

    Eisenhower........but there was an Eisenhauer

    Obama:    but there has been an Obada, and an Obomanu

    Trump......but there was Bob Trumpy

    Truman    Trumpy would have been the closest similar name here as well. 

    Notes:

    Interesting that  Trump/Truman begin with the same 4 letters but are not the same name.   Those are the only Potus names to do that...except: 

    You do have the  4 sets of related Presidents with the same last name:  Adams, Bush, Harrison, Roosevelts.   

     Johnson then is the only name that is the same with 2 unrelated Presidents. 

    Aside from Trump/Truman the only other Potus names that start with the same 3 letters are Harding with the Harrison boys. 

    (no other name comes close to being the same as Biden)

    By the way no NFL player by the name Biden has ever played in the league.

    How about Van Buren & Arthur?

    In fact Steve Van Buren is in the Hall of Fame. 

  • Here is today's Trivia Question....     This one could be kind of hard (a followup on the Potus theme)      I am going to give you one list  of the name of Presidents,  alphabetically.   Then I will give a second list  of the names of  Football people...mostly Hall of Famers. (Including players, coaches, executives)   

    Your job is to match the President with the Football player  by  who attended the same college.      I will give you an example:  Donald Trump attended  Penn,  HOFer  Bert Bell  attended Penn.  Match those two together.

    Presidents (alphabetically)

    Jimmy  Carter.    Bill Clinton.     Millard  Fillmore.     Gerald Ford.    Benjamin Harrison.     William Henry Harrison.  Herbert Hoover.     John F. Kennedy.      Richard Nixon.    Barack Obama.      James K. Polk.     Donald Trump.     Woodrow Wilson

    NFL  People (alphabetically)

    Chuck Bednarik.     Paul Brown.     Dan Dierdorf.     John Elway.   Henry Jordan.    Sonny Jurgenson.     Marv Levy.    Vince Lombardi.      Sid Luckman.     Khalil Mack.     Roger Staubach.     Paul Tagliabue.   Lawrence Taylor.     

    Note.....edited with interlineation to note those that have been answered correctly

  • Captain Bonespurs/Bednarik (Penn)

    Ford/Dierdorf (TSUN)

    JFK/Roger Staubach (Navy)

    Yeah, I'm not kidding this time, this one is rough. I know a few on one side or another, but have no idea on matching them. 

  • Dutch OvenD Dutch Oven

    Captain Bonespurs/Bednarik (Penn)

    Ford/Dierdorf (TSUN)

    JFK/Roger Staubach (Navy)

    Yeah, I'm not kidding this time, this one is rough. I know a few on one side or another, but have no idea on matching them. 

    @dutch-oven said:

    Captain Bonespurs/Bednarik (Penn)  This one IS correct,,,,However....there is another matchup for both of them, so I am keeping it open

    Ford/Dierdorf (TSUN)  Yes

    JFK/Roger Staubach (Navy)  NO, JFK did not go to Navy.  He was in the Navy, but did not attend the Naval Academy. 

    Yeah, I'm not kidding this time, this one is rough. I know a few on one side or another, but have no idea on matching them.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • Holy crap I know most of the football guys but the president's alma maters are tricky......and sometimes surprising.

    Jimmy Carter was an Annapolis guy with Staubach to get started.
