NFL Trivia Thread, answer a question, then ask one

[Partial]

Cannot use a search engine. That's cheating. If all else fails, Patler or Harv will know :D Please try to keep it fairly current as many of us are too young to do the vince years!

First question, its an easy one!

Where did Tiki Barber attend college?

[LEWCWA]

virginia.

[LEWCWA]

Where did David Whitehurst attend college?

[Partial]

Where did David Whitehurst attend college?

I think he was from one the ACC schools. I am thinking Virginia Tech. It's a total guess, so someone else take a stab.

[LEWCWA]

no

[BallHawk]

It was the same school as Ingle Martin, I remember that.

The name of the school escapes me.

[TravisWilliams23]

The younger Whitehurst went to Clemson, but I don't know if that was the Packer QB or the son.

Is that one kid that played for Clemson his son?

Yes

Furman?

[LEWCWA]

yes his son went to clemson. Charlie is his name. David didn't go to clemson.

[LEWCWA]

Furman is correct! Ask a ?.

In 2005, which WR led the league in receptions?

Anquan Boldin

[LEWCWA]

Isn't that the year Steve Smith lit it up?

[Partial]

BTW, please quote the correct answer and say "correct". Since its cheating to use a search engine it is kind of fun to just guess. I have a hunch my guess of Bolden is correct :D

I have a hunch you're thinking of the wrong Cardinal. :wink:

I'm off to bed. I think you know who it is now. :D

[Partial]

Evidently its Larry Fitzgerald. That surprises me. I googled it and Bolden was third, and Smith and Fitzgerald tied for #1.

Lewcwa, you're up

Here is a tough one. Who is the only NFL kicker to win mvp?

This quarterback fumbled with 25 seconds left on a planned handoff to Larry Csonka; thena current NFL coach (who was recently traded) returned the fumbled ball for a TD to propel his team to a 19-17 victory. This occurred in 1978. Who was the quarterback?

Well, if I were a betting man I would say the DB was Herm Edwards, but I have no idea on the QB. I'm too young.

Shit.....thats right he went to the Giants. I have no freaking clue who the QB was....I know they still played in NYC though!

[Carolina_Packer]

Joe Pisarcik! I think I even saw that highlight the same day. I was 12 and was really into the Packers who were having a fun season with James Lofton being a rookie and Terdell Middleton rushing for 1,000 yards. I think they even tied the mighty Vikings that year to go 8-7-1 for the year.

Herm Edwards was the one who scooped up the blown hand-off (to Larry Csonka btw) and raced for the score.

BTW, if you've never seen the Joe Pisarcik to Larry Csonka botched hand-off, here it is from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=090pEcveMIE
What were they thinking not taking a knee? I guess they didn't it back in the day. Csonka doesn't look like he knew it was a hand-off to him, and Pisarcik seems to get way to close to him. What an awful way to lose a game!

[Deputy Nutz]

God damn that game pissed me off!

[Carolina_Packer]

Arrowhead? Did you see that I had asked a question after nobody came up with Joe Pisarcik? It's a pretty easy question.

[K-town]

Where is the only stadium where Favre has not won a game?
Gonna take a wild stab at this and say Arrowhead.
I have to assume this question includes pre-season, because I don't think he's ever won a regular season game in Philadelphia or Denver.

Funny? Man, I was yelling and screaming in my basement "make a pick, what the F$%^, the F%^$ing Vikings are passing in the first round .....what the F^&%"

Wife yells down the stairs...."What the heck is going on down there"?


I yell, "The F^&%ing Vikings are passing in the first round ...what the F%^&?:.....then......."hang on they're finally picking a F%^&ing player...."

She shuts the door thinking I'm an idiot....and I'm foaming at the mouth....(because I'm pissed and because I just drank a big swig of stout.). In the end, the Vikes get a great player at a cheaper price but nearly cause me to have a heart attack.

I know I've heard part of their reason for this - the 'slot' system of the draft means taking 2 picks later saves them $$$. What was the reason they didn't want a second first round player? Did they not have cap space to pay two of them?

Ok, I do have a question to start things off in the morning, even though it isn't officially my turn. How did the Vikings obtain their second first round pick in 2003?

[HarveyWallbangers]

They didn't lose their pick. Their time ran out, and then ended up picking two picks later (I think). I believe Ryan Sims is the other guy that got picked in between. Because they drafted that player in a lower slot, they were able to sign him for less money than they would have had they picked him in their original slot. Those tricky Vikings. With this and poision pill, their front office showed their genius.

[Guiness]

You mean the league gave them another chance to make their pick????

Draft order for them sure is strange. They picked 9th in the first round, 8th in the second, and 7th in the third!

They got really lucky that KC went with Ryan Sims, then :D Kevin Williams worked out as well as they could have imagined.

[Carolina_Packer]

Alan Autry was Carlos Brown when he was with Green Bay.

Here is some enlightening info about him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Autry

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/BrowCa00.htm

I was a little kid in '76 when Lynn Dickey got hurt and they had to play Carlos Brown. I know they only have 7 rounds today, and Carlos Brown was a 12th rounder in 1975, but can you imagine in today's football if your starting QB went down and you had to put a 7th rounder in? Teams invest a little more than that in QB now. '76 was Lynn Dickey's first year in GB, after coming over as part of the John Hadl to Houston trade. Houston had Pastorini, so Dickey was never going to get to play.

Lynn Dickey's first name is actually Clifford, so it's Clifford Lynn Dickey, proving that his parents really didn't like him very much. Ah, the Hadl trade. Heady days in Green Bay. You want a trade that will get you fired being HC and GM? Try out the John Hadl to Green Bay trade. This is the best article I've ever read on it. Hadl actually sounds like a cool guy.

http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2004/10/10/local_sports/iq_3146532.txt

Just brutal! Starr was behind the 8 ball for years after that awful trade, and Devine got to shuffle off to Notre Dame and coach none other than Joe Montana! Obviously the Vikings did not learn from the Packers fateful mistake in Oct. '74 because they made their own mark with the Herschel Walker trade. Ouchie! I guess the ultimate lesson there is be careful how much power you give one guy to make personnel decisions, otherwise you might do wacky stuff like move up to draft a punter!

Name the 3 Penn State RBs, all drafted in the top 5 within the 1990s, who proved to be not-so smart picks by their respective teams. These 3 backs only combined for about 5,000 yards over their careers.

Nope. Rison never won a Vanier cup (Canadian College/University championship). The Vanier cup, btw, has a playoff system.
