    In NFL history,   14  players had   8  combined  Kickoff or Punt Returns  for TDs in their careers. 

    Name these 14 players.

    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.

    Yeah, I thought that one was a longshot, but I thought he had more than two return touchdowns.

  • Two part question:

    A. Name the only states in the US that have a team in one of the other 3 major sports (NBA/NHL/MLB),  but does not have an NFL team.

    B.  Name those NFL teams that do NOT play in the city they are named for.    (for purposes of this you can ignore the so call "regional team names like Minnesota, Tennessee, New England, Arizona)

  • A. Hmmmm, will have to think about that one, I remember reading something like the states with/without pro teams was something like 25/25.  Some obvious like Hawaii some not so obvious like Alabama in the sports rich South.  Georgia has several.

    B. Will really have to think about that one.
