I have not yet given the answers to this trivia, here they are:

1. After the 1950 NFL/AAFC merger, the following teams were in the NFL that are still active:

Eagles, Steelers, Giants, Redskins, Bears, Cards, Lions, Packers, Browns, 49ers, Colts.

Which of these teams have won the most NFL titles since 1950?

The Packers with 7 have won the most titles since 1950

2. What was the last now defunct franchise to win an NFL title?

The Providence Steam Roller in 1928. All other titles won since 1928 have been won by current active franchises.

3. The NFL has 32 teams located in 30 different metropolitan areas. Only 2 of those markets are what is often referred to as "One Horse" towns, i.e. that they only have one franchise located there in the 4 major league spectator sports (Now NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB). What are the two NFL One Horse towns?

Green Bay and Jacksonville

4. Winnipeg is about to rejoin the family of North American major league cities with the impending relocation there of the Atlanta Thrashers. When was the last year that a team from Winnipeg won a major league sports title? (hint: NHL or WHA)

The Winnipeg Jets now known as the Phoenix Coyotes won the WHA title in 1979.

5. Three countries in history have won the most Olympic Gold Medals in Futbol (soccer), men's and women. Name the 3 countries.

Great Britain, Hungary and the USA. Of course it is the US women's futbol team that give us that total.

6. Seven NBA Metro areas are "One Horse Towns" where the NBA is the only major league sport in town. Name the 7 cities.

Orlando, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Portland, and Memphis are all NBA one horse towns.
