Trivia Questions and Answers
-
Here is today's Trivia Question. I entitle it "One Horse Towns". This applies to the 4 major Sports: NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB.
There are 16 cities in North America that can be considerd "One Horse Towns" in that they have only 1 single major league sports franchise in the 4 major sports located there. Hint: to ease your effort, 6 of them are Canadian NHL teams.
Answers. You got them all but one or two I see...there was actually another of these that I missed.:
Canadian cities:
Vancouver
Edmonton
Calgary
Winnipeg
Ottawa
Montreal
All with NHL teams only (Toronto is only city with NBA/MLB team)
US Cities:
Portland NBA
Sacramento NBA
San Diego MLB
Salt Lake City NBA
San Antonio NBA
Oklahoma City NBA
Green Bay NFL
Columbus NHL
Memphis NBA
Jacksonville NFL
Orlando NBA
Raleigh NHL

In the NHL, 8 of the now 32 teams (release the Seattle Kraken) are the only game in town in those cities. 1/4th
In the NBA, 7 of the 30 teams are the only game in town. 23.33%.
Only San Diego now has just baseball, after the Chargers and Clippers left
Only Jacksonville, and the special case of Green Bay have just NFL

These are all correct.....except Atlanta. Atlanta now has no NHL team. They lost 2: the Flames to Calgary, the Thrashers to Winnipeg (Jets)
-
Philadelphia
Dallas
Both Correct.
Only 2 left.
But I will give you one of those.....The Bay Area...which is considered one market, but which has teams with the names of 3 cities: SFO, Oakland, San Jose.
So just one left.

I was going to save this one until tomorrow, but you all knocked out most of the other question today in short order that I will go ahead with this.
This will be a little different....not just one question, but a number of them. All about Browns history: Here you go:
1. How many seasons will the Browns now have played, including 2020?
2. How many championships have the Browns won?
3. How many Conference titles have they won?
4. How many times have the Browns finished First?
5. How many times have the Browns played in the postseason?
6. How many coaches have the Browns had in their history...including Stefanski, but not including interim coaches?
7. How many times has a Browns coach won coach of the year. Which coaches?
8. How many times has a Browns player won the MVP award. Which players
9. How many times has a Browns player won the Rookie of the Year? Which players?
10. How many times has a Browns player won Defensive Player of the Year award? Which player?
11. How many times has a Browns player won the Offensive Player of the Year Award? Which Players?
12. Who will be the next Browns player or coach to win any of these Awards?

Lol...I was going to say SF but figured it was technically a "no"

Here is Today's Question. It is the other side of the coin from yesterday's.
There are 13 US cities that have a team in ALL 4 major sports, NFL/MLB/NHL/NBA. Name them.
Answers:
SFO Bay area
Los Angeles
Phoenix
Denver
Dallas
Minnesota
Chicago
Detroit
Miami
Washington DC
Philadelphia
New York
Boston
.....as noted above, Atlanta at one time had all 4, but no more. I you included Tampa Bay/Orlando as a single market, then they would too. (they are not counted as such....but they are only 85 miles apart.
I think the powers that be must think that we in the Cleveland area should get on board with the Columbus Bluejackets for NHL ....but, really, if you are from around here, how many people do you know that root for the Columbus NHL team. I literally know of no one. Its not like the Buckeyes...at all. I don't know what the people of Cincinnati think about it.. About 105 mile distance.
Milwaukee is only 92 miles from Chicago.....and they have their own NBA and MLB teams....and rest assured the vast majority of people there are Packer fans even though Green Bay is further away than Chicago. I suspect their attitude to Chicago Blackhawks is about the same as ours is to Columbus. Worse probably, because unlike Cleveland/Columbus, there are legit sports rivalries between Chicago and Milwaukee. It would be like us being asked to root for the Pittsburgh Penguins. NO one here roots for the Pittsburgh hockey teams, except maybe a few queefs from Youngstown maybe.
I do know that the owner of the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Seahawks are the same: (Estate of late Paul Allen)....and I know that that owner expect each city to root for the other cities team.....but I don't know how in reality that works out. I think Portland may be more interested in their soccer team than the Seattle football team.

Too young to know most of these ? but I'll predict number 12

OK dudes, this will be like the last Trivia Question for a couple of weeks, as beginning Monday I will be out on the road for 12-14 days. So, make this count:
In NFL history, 14 players had 8 combined Kickoff or Punt Returns for TDs in their careers.
Name these 14 players.

Gayle Sayers comes to mind. Perhaps Gerald McNeil?

Check on Sayers. He had 8. Though I think at one point he gave up the career duties, and his career was cut so short that he would have been higher
And as much as we loved the IceCube, he only actually ever returned one kick or punt for a TD.
