Here's a sports trivia game to try. The rules are we start with a sports trivia question (any sport) and the first person to respond with the correct answer then asks the next question. If it goes well we can keep track in the form of standings of whose been answering the most questions correct. The poster who answers the most questions every week and is on top of the standings could win a prize of some sort. I don't have anything to offer as a prize so maybe that can be a working progress. Bragging rights I guess. Okay here is the first question: What two teams played in the worst blowout in Super Bowl history, and what was the final score? |

Then I'll withdraw the question. The only two I knew of were by Godwin Turk of the Broncos and Fred MacNeil of the Vikings. Substitute question: This player took the place of an injured star in his team's starting lineup and scored more than 40 points in each of his first 3 NBA starts. He promptly went back to the bench after this. Hint: His son now plays in the NBA. |

Wow, I wasn't 100% sure on that one, but I think I remembered George Gervin missing the games first. That was hard. Okay, in the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, The U.S. hockey team won the gold medal. What team did they defeat to win the gold medal? |

I've heard that he pulled the name out of the Buffalo phonebook, but I don't know if that's ever been confirmed or not. |

Correct. Imlach drafted him to pull a fast one on the NHL. The NHL conducted the '74 Draft through a complicated secret process so that the WHA would not know what was going on. Because of this process, the draft was taking forever, and Imlach was pissed off. Some people actually thought the Sabres had found some diamond in the rough. |

Gail Goodrich for Magic, sort of. IIRC he left as a restricted free agent, if that's what it was called back then. New Orleans had to give compensation to LA. It was a handful of future draft picks, and one turned out to me Magic. Don't know about Worthy. |

Goodrich to the Jazz for the draft pick which became Magic was correct. The Laker gave up useless forward Don Ford to the Ted Stepien owned Cavaliers for a draft pick which which ended up being the no. 2 overall and which became James Worthy. Don Ford was notable only because during a 4 game loss to the Trailblazers in the 1977 playoffs Maurice Lucas outrebounded him something like 62 -1 for the series. Full credit to Sin. Batter up. |

The 4 times were 1907, 1920, 1923, and 1924. All were moved due to poor ice conditions with the exception of 1923. In 1923, Ottawa played Vancouver for the right to play Edmonton in the finals. Ottawa won and rather than take weeks to travel back to Ottawa, they had the games in Vancouver instead. Do I get a bonus for stumping everyone. :-P John |
