Anyone know this trivia answer

[Smidgeon]

The question has to be inaccurate. The only people with more than 11 probowls not in the HoF are Manning, Brady, Brees, Witten, and Fitzgerald. If it isn't Brady or Manning (since Brees hasn't been an MVP), there are absolutely no combination of non HoFers that have a combined 23 probowls. Charles Woodson is the only player from the right era with at least 9 probowls who was not an offensive or defensive lineman (and all of those were non-transfer players in college). There are no other combinations that would make 23 probowls.

The only way this trivia question would be right is if there was a all-star game or senior game or east v west game or something (I don't know much about college ball) where they connected for a TD.

Other than that chance (which might be impossible for all I know), the question is inaccurate.

So, jklowan, what say ye?

[jklowan]

I think the question is wrong, I'm going to submit brady and woodson and see what he says

I suspect this is correct.

The Heisman winner had to be a WR. If I remember correctly no NFL WR has been an MVP.

Then that would leave us with only 2 choices for WR. Desmond Howard, and Tim Brown are the only "WR's" to win the Heisman. One article listed Johnny Rodgers as a 3rd potential WR who won the Heisman.

....and Jerry Tagge had his all his Pro-Bowls and MVP seasons with the Pack.

Don't blame poor jklowan too much. If it hadn't been for this apparently flawed trivia thing, apparently Packers section posting would have been completely empty these past few days.

If there is any validity to the question, I'm still wondering if maybe the TD pass wasn't a pick six.

I thought about it too, but the question is worded "his wide receiver", so not a pick six.

Players not in HOF, and having 9-14 Pro Bowls. No one has more than 14.

14 – Peyton Manning, Tom Brady
13 – Drew Brees
11 – Jason Witten, Larry Fitzgerald
10 – Joe Thomas
9 – John Lynch, Walt Sweeney, Jim Tyrer, Demarcus Ware, Maxie Baughan, Ruben Brown, Charles Woodson, Alan Faneca, Jason Peters

Heisman winners of the above - Woodson
NFL MVPs of the above - Manning, Brady

We know the answer isn't Brady/Woodson. Manning and Woodson were in the same draft class. Did they play an all-star game together? Did Manning throw a TD pass to Woodson?

[sharpe1027]

Was the touchdown thrown, but then called back for a penalty?

[mraynrand]

A Pick six is still a TD throw... Favre knows this all too well.

[Fosco33]

Or it was a spring intramural game or something

Somewhere on another message board is the following thread:

"Hey guys, I am a member of a Packer forum called Packerrats. Those self-absorbed self-proclaimed experts get under my skin. Help me come up with a question that has an entirely plausible answer, but has no actual answer and is murky enough so as to be impossible to dismiss as fake. I'll report back the hilarity that ensues at a later date. Thanks!"

LOL...what post in this thread is so hilarious that I would want to share? I was having trouble figuring this out, I respect some of the knowledge here so I thought I would share and see if anyone came up with anything. Without this post this site was dead for the last 2 weeks anyhow
