#2 so trick question

It is not a trick question. It is completely straightforward. Which city over 25K on the continental US is the furthest west? What is trick about that? All you have to do is look at the longitude.

#3 I am correct sir you are not, Who is credited with inventing the term west coast offense? read it clearly says BILL PARCELS COINED IT, The term "West Coast Offense", as it is now commonly used, derives from a remark made by then-New York Giants coach Bill Parcells after the Giants defeated the San Francisco 49ers 17-3 in the 1985 playoffs. Parcells, a believer in tough defense over finesse-oriented offense, scornfully derided the 49ers' offense with the statement, "What do you think of that West Coast Offense now?"[1] In 1993, a Bernie Kosar quotation used to describe the 1993 Dallas Cowboys' offense as 'West Coast offense' was publicized by Sports Illustrated writer Paul Zimmerman ("Dr. Z"). Originally Kosar had meant a comparison to the "Air Coryell" system used by west coast teams in the 1970s- Bill Parcels 1985

Nearly every source I have seen credited Bernie Kosar with the term, but in looking at some other sources I see where some do credit Parcells, so I will give that to you.

#5 Misread the question 48 states ugh

#9 How could i not be right with the 49'ers? Harbaugh said he was bringing the WCO back to the niners this year 2011.

If you said the 49ers then I should have given you credit because that is right. I may have just overlooked your answer

Give the answers to #12!!!

I will after others have had their chance
