Running Super Bowl Trivia Thread...

Redskins: Kilmer, Theismann, Williams, Rypien
Giants: Simms, Hostetler, Collins and Manning
Raiders: Lamonica, Stabler, Plunkett and Gannon

 

Here's a few, starting with an easy one ...

1. After Sunday, there will be only five teams that have never played in a Super Bowl. Name them. Answer: Browns, Lions, Jags, Texans, Saints

2. Who is the only player to win Super Bowl MVP while playing for the losing team? Answer: Chuck Howley, Dallas Cowboys, Super Bowl V

3. What Washington Redskin returned Garo Yepremian's infamous "pass" for a touchdown in Super Bowl VII? Mike Bass

4. What Cincinnati Bengal was de-activated (and subsequently banned from the league) for a drug incident on the eve of Super Bowl XXIII? Stanley Wilson

 

I believe the fourth person from question one is Andre Reed ...

 

1. Browns, Lions, Jags, Texans, Saints

 

Reed has the record for most catches in the first quarter (tied with Darrell Jackson) but he's not the fourth on that list.

 

2) Chuck Howley

3) Bass (first name escapes me)

4) Crud...I know this one.

 

Are you thinking of Stanley Wilson? I don't think he was arrested. One of the assistant coaches found him coked up and they left him off the roster for the game. That led to a permanent ban from the league.

It was Eugene Robinson of the Falcons who actually got arrested the even of a Super Bowl, but that was for solicitation, not drugs.

 

You're right. Fixed.

 

Just came to me. Wes Welker.

 

Here's a couple more ...

1. Doug Williams threw four touchdown passes in the second quarter of Super Bowl XXII. Who caught them? (Hint: one player caught two). Answers: Ricky Sanders with two, Gary Clark and Clint Didier with one each

2. What Cincinnati Bengal suffered a gruesome broken leg early in Super Bowl XXIII? Answer: Tim Krumrie

3. What Green Bay Packers receiver was injured early in Super Bowl I, forcing Max McGee into the lineup? Answer: Boyd Dowler

4. What Los Angeles Rams running back threw a touchdown pass in Super Bowl XIV? Lawrence McCutcheon

 

2. Tim Krumrie

4. Wendell Tyler? (just taking an educated guess on that one)

 

Krumrie, yes; Tyler, no
