NFL Trivia, Ver 12.0, Moderate Difficulty

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:31 AM

1) Which NFL QB married the daughter of former Vikings FB Bill Brown?

2) Who was the last defensive player named NFL Season MVP?

3) Which 2 Tight Ends were selected to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 1990's?

4) 1998 was the first time 4 players topped 2,000 yards from scrimmage in the same season. Name all 4.

5) Which 2 players from the All-Time NFL team played at Division 1-AA Mississippi Valley State, one of who played when the school was Mississippi Vocational?

6) Name the 3 players involved in the "Miracle at the Meadowlands" in 1978. (For those unfamiliar, this is the famous fumble by the Giants that was picked up by the Eagles and returned for a touchdown, when the Giants just needed to down the ball and run out the game clock).

for the record, I am looking for the following three players:

NY QB:
NY RB:
PHI CB:

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:32 AM

Oh, and no cheating until late this afternoon!!!!

albionmoonlight · 05-16-2003, 09:37 AM

3.) Sharpe and Coates?

albionmoonlight · 05-16-2003, 09:37 AM

2.) L. Taylor

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:40 AM

You are correct on both #2 and #3.

cuervo72 · 05-16-2003, 09:41 AM

3. Jay Novachek and Shannon Sharpe
5. That Rice guy and....?
6. Joe Psarchik (sp), ?, Herman Edwards

(I don't believe it! I don't believe it!)

Partial credit?

Subby · 05-16-2003, 09:41 AM

5) Jerry Rice and ...

condors · 05-16-2003, 09:42 AM

6- joe pisarcheck(sp) qb giants tried to hand the ball off to joe morris? and heman edwards picked it up for philadelphia and ran it in

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:44 AM

Obviously, Jerry Rice is one of the 2 answers for #5.

Pisarcik and Herm Edwards are correct for #6. Nobody has answered the RB part yet.

Subby · 05-16-2003, 09:46 AM

4) Faulk, TD, Eddie George, Emmit Smith

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:48 AM

Subby, very good guesses. Too bad the only two you got are:

Faulk and TD.

Dutch · 05-16-2003, 09:48 AM

#5

Well, Jerry Rice and Walter Payton? Payton played at Jackson State but maybe I missed something...

And #4...

Mar Tay Jenkins, Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders, and Terrell Davis?

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 09:50 AM

Dutch, you struck out there.

Payton is not correct, nor is Jenkins and Sanders.

Sorry.

Dutch · 05-16-2003, 09:57 AM

...but there's a nice consolation prize....thanks for playing!

Alf · 05-16-2003, 10:18 AM

#4 Jamal Anderson

--> 1998 was the only Atlanta good year ! How come no Atlantian has responded yet

Ryche · 05-16-2003, 10:22 AM

1. Rich Gannon

Alf · 05-16-2003, 10:23 AM

#4 : Is the 4th one Fred Taylor ?

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 10:23 AM

Jamal is correct for #4, still one more player to go.

Rich Gannon is correct for #1

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 10:24 AM

Here are the unanswered questions:

4) Jerry Rice and ?????
5) Davis, Anderson, Faulk and ??????
6) NY RB

Alf · 05-16-2003, 10:28 AM

Marmel, can I cheat now ? It is late in the afternoon here in France.

Seriously, I have no idea of what happened to football before Joe Montana, so 1978 Giants...

cuervo72 · 05-16-2003, 10:34 AM

5 - Jermaine Lewis?

edit: Ignore this....not yards from SCRIMMAGE. Felt compelled to look the answer up anyway

wheels · 05-16-2003, 11:01 AM

giants rb: larry csonka?

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 11:25 AM

Correct on the Giants RB!

pjstp20 · 05-16-2003, 11:59 AM

4.) C. Martin or R. Smith?

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 12:01 PM

pjstp20, no.

pjstp20 · 05-16-2003, 12:09 PM

G. Hearst

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 12:17 PM

Hearts is also correct.

All we need is an answer to Questions #5, not named Rice.

Bee · 05-16-2003, 12:28 PM

I have no idea, I need a clue, what decade did he play in?

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 12:39 PM

Obscure 14th-round draft pick, 1961 ... Among first of fast, tough, mobile defensive linemen ... Noted for clean, but hard-hitting play ... Specialized in quarterback "sacks", a term he invented ... Innovative, quick-thinking, flamboyant ... Unanimous all-league six straight years, 1965-1970 ... Played in eight Pro Bowls ... NFL Defensive Player of Year, 1967-1968.

DOB: 12/09/1938 ... Birthplace: Eatonville, FL ... High School: Hungerford (Orlando, FL) ... Drafted: 14th round (186th overall) by Los Angeles Rams in 1961 ... Uniform Number: #75 (also wore 81)

Jets80 · 05-16-2003, 12:40 PM

PHI CB = Current Jets Head Coach.

Jets80 · 05-16-2003, 12:42 PM

Dola.....whoops...didnt see that you guys already got that one.

cuervo72 · 05-16-2003, 12:44 PM

Deacon Jones.

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 12:49 PM

Well, the last name is Jones, but I do not see him referenced as 'Deacon' anywhere. His name does start with a 'D' though....

cuervo72 · 05-16-2003, 12:53 PM

Ok, David "Deacon" Jones.

edit: picture

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 01:01 PM

Yeah David Jones.

I did some research and never saw the Deacon reference. That is good information, thanks cuervo!

And as always, excellent job on answering all the questions.

I hardly ever hear it as David....btw, that was one grande clue.

Marmel · 05-16-2003, 01:06 PM

Honestly, it was not my own question, and I am not all that familiar with pre 80's football or the players, so I do a bit of research before I post the questions, and.....well, you get the picture.

cuervo72 · 05-16-2003, 01:11 PM

Understandable. Keep up the good work, these are good exercises.

What gets me is how many countless times I must have seen the Miracle in the Meadowlands clip (being from Philly and everything), and I couldn't even remember that Czonka was in the backfield....
