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? |

Winner of one Grand Slam tournament, this tennis player died in 1994 due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. He once uttered the humorous line "Nobody beats (insert name)17 times in a row!" after finally beating Jimmy Connors. |

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? |

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. |

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 |
