    ........Well....apparently you DO have an idea.....as Ferragamo is correct. 🙂  Just one more....and this is an ironic one.......

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Time to think way outside of the box.......hmmmmm.....

    Something like Young for Montana? Nah, too wierd. Let's see, Brister for Bradshaw? 😆  Somebody for Thiesman? Wait wasn't Rypien a fill in for somebody?  My guess Rypien.

    No...not Rypien.    As I said...it is an ironic situation.   Answers in a bit.

    I'm drawing pure blanks on that one......good questions. 

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

  • Here is some post Super Bowl Trivia....actually covers a number of areas:   Give a try:

    Answers: 

    1. The Eagles won their first championship since the 1960 season.    Name the only teams in the 4 major sports that have not won a title any time since the 1950s.   Hints:  there are 5 franchises....and you can ignore the NHL as there are no hockey teams on the list.

    In order:  1947 Chic./St.L/Ariz. Cardinals NFL.   1948  Cleveland Indians,  1951 Rochester/Cinci/KC/Sacramento Royals/King;   1957 Detroit Lions;  1958 St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks

    2. Name those NFL franchises that have never won a championship of any kind at any time.

    The new teams:   Jaguars/Panthers....in existence since 1995.  Texans, in existence since 2002.  The old ones:  Minnesota Vikings. In existence since 1960. Cincinnati Bengals in existence since 1968

    3. Tom Brady lost his 3rd Super Bowl.  Name the other QBs who have lost  3 or more Super Bowls.

    Elway and Tarkenton 3 each.  Jim Kelly 4.

    4. Where did Nick Foles attend college?

    University of Arizona  (Tuscon)

    5. Who were the other QBs who were the starting QBs for the Eagles in their previous Super Bowls.

    Ron Jaworski in the 1980 season.  Donovan McNabb in 2004?

    6. Foles was a "backup QB"   that won a Super Bowl.   Name the last "backup QB"  i.e.  the QB that did not start the season as a team's starting QB....to win a Super Bowl.

    Tom Brady....2001.   Drew Bledsoe started the season. Brady came in.

    7. Per SB Nation....in addition to Foles and the person in question #6....there were 6 other "Backup QBs"...again...QBs who were not their team's starting QB at the beginning of a season....who also won a Super Bowl game.    Name these 6 QBs.   Also....for extra Brownie points...name the team AND the QB that they were the backup for.

    Besides Foles and Brady you have:

    Kurt Warner...Rams....replacing Trent Green

    Trent Dilfer...Ravens...replacing Tony Banks

    Jeff Hostetler...Giants...replacing Phil Simms

    Doug Williams....Redskins....replacing Jay Schroeder

    Jim Plunkett....Raiders...replacing Dan Pastorini

    Roger Staubach....Cowboys...replacing  Craig Morton..### see below.

    8. In addition to the above Super Bowl winners.....an additional 3 "backup QBs" took their team to the Super Bowl...but lost.  Name those QBs,   and if you can their team...and the QB they took over for

    Vince Ferragamo...Rams....replacing Pat Haden

    Earl Morrall....Colts....replacing  Johnny Unitas   (though Unitas did come into the SBIII to replace Morrall at half time)

    Craig Morton....Cowboys...replacing Roger Staubach ###

    ###Note the irony.....one year..1970   Morton replaces Staubach as starter....takes the team to the SB and loses (to Colts).  The next year....Morton starts the season....but then Staubach replaces him and takes them to the SB and wins...over Dolphins in 1971.    After that Morton is shipped out....but then Morton leads the Broncos to the SB....to face the Cowboys lead by Staubach....Staubach wins. 

    9. Name that Quarterback who has won the most games in his career....but who has never played in the Super Bowl game.

    Philip Rivers   110 wins.    Next on this list are:  Warren Moon...105 wins, then Dave Kreig..101 wins

    10.  Name the   5 QBs who have THE best regular season winning percentage in history.  Hint:  4 of the 5 HAVE won Championships...and the other did start a Super Bowl...but did not win.

    Not sure why no one tried to answer this question....it should not have been extremely hard overall.  In order they are:

    Otto Graham  .788

    Tom Brady  .774

    Daryl Lamonica .753

    Roger Staubach .733

    Joe Montana  .711

    As noted....all won championships except Lamonica....who did start for the Raiders in SB II
