Sports trivia!

[RicochetShaw]

Woohoo! This follows the trends of the many other trivia threads there are, but I shall explain it just in case. I ask a question, then some one else answers it correctly and posts his/her own question for another person to answer, and so on.

I'll kick it off with...

What NBA team has won the most NBA Final championships? . And for a cookie, how many did they win?

[MikeyB]

Boston Celtics and I believe it was 16 titles.


Which NBA team has lost the most titles (in one city)?

[Raw Chili]

Lakers??? wild guess

[MarkItZero]

Lakers
They lost 12 times.

Which NFL team has led the league in rushing the most times?
How many times?

[Indiana Sev]

The Bears? 16 times, correct?

This next one is easy, clue, the answer is not the Florida Panthers!

Which NHL team has won the most Stanley Cups? How many?

[Morgana]

Crap, I used to play hockey trivia, I should remember this.

Montreal Canadiens, not sure...about 18 times?

[Indiana Sev]

Correct...24 Cups!

Your turn, Morgana.

[Morgana]

Ooops, missed that by only 6 Cups. lol. Thanks for the break, Indiana. ;)

All right, here's another hockey trivia question...

What year was Lord Stanley's Cup first awarded? And as a bonus, which two teams played in the very first finals?

[Benny]

The Toronto Arenas defeated the Vancouver MIllionaires ofr the first Cup in 1918.

To celebrate March Madness-

Who was the last player to be named NCAA tournament Most Outstanding Player who didn't play for the winning team?

[PapaJupe2k]

I like the fact you got away from the hockey questions, but this one is tough. Give us a hint, what year was it?

[MarkItZero]

1983 Hakeem Olajuwon
Phi Slamma Jamma lost that year to Jimmy V.


Q: Which NFL team holds the record for the longest consecutive streak of winning their regular season opener.

Bonus: How long was the streak and when did it start?

[RicochetShaw]

Cowboys?

[RicochetShaw]

okay, I was recently informed that my complete guess of The Cowboys was correct, so I shall continue the game (with an easy one)....

What NBA player has won the most NBA championship titles?

[Doc Holliday]

Bill Russel...I think.

[kidkre0le]

You're right Doc.

[Cabrini Green]

Here's a question -
Who is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers all time leading receiver (also all time leading rusher)?

[PapaJupe2k]

James Wilder(?)

[Cabrini Green]

Yeah you're right. He played from 81-89 with playoff finishes in his first two years (two road losses to Dallas) then seven straight losing seasons.

[PapaJupe2k]

I never would have got it if you didn't include the leading rusher clue. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, somebody else go ahead with a question.

[PapaJupe2k]

All right here's one, I know it's a little early for college football questions, but here goes.

I'm sure most of you remember seeing Doug Flutie's hail mary pass to beat Miami back in 1984. Even if your a younger schmoe, you've seen the play sometime on highlight reels over the years.

Who was the Boston College reciever that caught that miracle pass?

[quoth_the_raven]

its so nice your letting the english schmoes in on this one...:rolleyes:


:D:D

[Grebdron]

Gerald Phelan?

[PapaJupe2k]

Yep, go ahead with a question Greb.

[Grebdron]

I'll abstain, and leave the question asking to a more knowledgable sports fan.

[PapaJupe2k]

If no one else can think of one, here's a baseball question.

Last Saturday was the 24 year anniversary of the 23-22 Phillies/Cubs game at Wrigley. Mike Schmidt hit four homeruns in that wild affair, a Cubs player hit three homeruns in that game, who was he?

[PapaJupe2k]

Disregard the Mike Schmidt clue, I had two different games I was thinking of confused. I'm just making these up out of my head, not taking them out of a book or anything.:D

Here's a better clue, he is one of the two 400 hr men who are Hall of Fame eligible, and not in. For a shiny gold star, name the other one as well.

[PapaJupe2k]

Last hint: Go back and read through the MLB Discussion Thread and if you pay attention you may just find one the answers to this question.

[Shakamaker]

Dave Kingman?

[PapaJupe2k]

We've got a winner folks!!!! Darrell Evans was the other 400+ HR man not in the Hall. Go ahead with a question of your own my Aussie friend.

[Shakamaker]

To keep the thread alive, I'll stay in the US with this easy one...

Which active MLB player has the highest career batting average?

[Puck Bond]

Will venture a guess and say Larry Walker...my 2nd would be Mike Piazza.

[PapaJupe2k]

Todd Helton (?)

[Grebdron]

I happen to know that you are correct, sir. Your turn.

[PapaJupe2k]

I kind of had an idea, but wasn't sure. I knew he was always up there in BA and playing at Coors Field is certainly an advantage. I'll be back in a little bit while I try to think up a question, but if anyone else has one on their mind go ahead and jump in.

Hey Shakamaker, do they show much American sports over in Australia? You seem to know quite a bit about it, just curious.

[PapaJupe2k]

Here's an Olympic basketball question, so as not to leave out any European Schmoes.;)

Who was the U.S. coach in that ill fated 1972 farce of a gold medal basketball game between the U.S. and those evil Russians.:D

For a bonus point and a real stiff shot of the finest Russian vodka, who was the Russian player who made the "winning basket":rolleyes:

[Grebdron]

Henry Iba.

Doug Collins' two free throws gave the USA a one point lead with three seconds to play.

Aleksandr Belov made the game winning shot.

Ivan Edeshko made the pass.

Fuckers.


How many games did Walter Payton miss in his career?

[Moviefan1234]

None I believe. Not sure though.

[Cabrini Green]

He missed one game during his rookie year is all.

Here's one -
In the illustrious playoff history of the Detroit Lions (yes I am a fan) there has been one 300 yard passing game. Who was the quarterback?

[PapaJupe2k]

Bobby Lane (?)

[Cabrini Green]

Surprisingly no

Here's a hint - It’s the only playoff game the Lions have won since the merger in 1970.

[PapaJupe2k]

Gary Danielson(?)

[Munson]

That game was against the Cowboys around 1991. I can't remember who the QB was though.

[Cabrini Green]

Originally posted by Munson

Correct you are. Here is the last hint - he later moved on to appear in the Pro Bowl with the Chicago Bears.

[PapaJupe2k]

All right, I know it now, because I'm a big Bears fan. I'll let someone else answer it though because I missed on two guesses already. I didn't even remember Detroit being in the playoffs then.

[Nachokoolaid]

Is it Erik Kramer?
I think so.

[Shakamaker]

Hey Shakamaker, do they show much American sports over in Australia? You seem to know quite a bit about it, just curious.

Yeah, I love US sports, and the way they're presented. I love the stats, but more importantly, the analysis. In Oz, commentators simply reguritate stats (facts) and hardly analyse (using the stats to back themselves up).

I get ESPN and FOX over here on pay-tv. Ever since I went to the US as a kid, I fell in love with Baseball. First live game I saw was the (then) California Angels vs. the Brewers. We left after 9 thinking it was a tie. :o

I went over to Boston for work a few years ago and got to see a BoSox game. Been a BIG fan ever since.

My other teams are the NFL's Oakland Raiders (thank god they moved back), the NHL's LA Kings, and the NBA's LA Lakers. Been following them Lakers since 1987.

[Shakamaker]

Originally posted by Nachokoolaid

I reckon so too. I think he also had like 30 completions that game. The fuck happened against the Skins?

Floor's yours, Nachokoolaid.

Welcome to the club, Shaka. My teams too. Especially the Raiders.

[Shakamaker]

Originally posted by Grebdron

I took the day off work to have some brekkie beers and watch the Superbowl (Monday morning in Oz) loss to the Bucs. They new how to stop the west-coast offense, so I wasn't surprised at the loss. What hurt more was the OT loss to the Patriots in the snow the year before.

Anyway, since Nachokoolaid is at the fridge, let's get this thread rolling again..

How many individual batting/fielding records does Ricky Henderson currently own, and what are they for?

[Cabrini Green]

I think he has the all time stolen base record and the most leadoff homeruns to start a game in history. Anymore records he might own I don't know.

[Shakamaker]

He owns...

Stolen Bases - 1403
Caught Stealing - 335
Bases On Balls (Walks) - 2179
Runs - 2288

...but that was a little tough, so someone else have a go.

[Nachokoolaid]

Since I got the last one, and I was gone for awhile, I'll jump in here.

What was the score to the Super Bowl in which the winner scores the most points in history? Who won/lost? and who was the MVP?

[PapaJupe2k]

Hmmm, I seem to remember Dallas scoring in the 50's one time. I'll go out on a limb and say:

Dallas 55 Buffalo 17

MVP: eh ..... Emmit Smith

This is just a guess

[Grebdron]

San Francisco - 49

San Diego - 26

Total 75 points.

MVP Steve Young.

I think.

[Shakamaker]

Oh this is just dying a horrible death. I'm gunna kill it....


Which AFL player was famous for wearing yellow boots in the 80's?

[Cabrini Green]

The answer to the last question (If I understand correctly the highest score for the winning team alone) is San Francisco 55-10 over Denver with MVP Joe Montana. Dallas only had 52 in one of their wins over Buffalo.

For the current question don't you mean AFL player in the sixties when the leauge existed instead of the eighties? Can't say I know the answer to this one.

[PapaJupe2k]

Shakamaker is Australian though, he could mean the Aussie Football League. Yellow boots? I'll have to ponder that one.

[Shakamaker]

I think I successfully killed this thread. If anyone feels like reviving it, please proceed.

BTW, yes, I was referring to Australian Rules Football, and the answer was Dermott Brereton.

Oooo, I can feel the blank looks from across the Pacific. :D

Which player scored the most points in a single game in NBA (National Basketball Association) history?

NEW QUESTION:

Boston Red Sox over Pittsburgh 5 games to 3 in 1903

[Moviefan1234]

Who is the most capped player in US Soccer history?

[horrorfreak13]

Time to bring some life back into this thread

Since I have no clue what the answer to the last question is here's a hockey one.

Who is the only visiting team to win the Stanley Cup at the Montreal Forum

[Indiana Sev]

Is it the Leafs?

[horrorfreak13]

No it's not,

CLUE: It's not an original 6 team

[Indiana Sev]

The Flyers?

[horrorfreak13]

nope

They won the Cup and haven't won a playoff round since

[Indiana Sev]

:D Flames! :D

Just need confirmation...

[horrorfreak13]

Yes it is.

Interesting isn't it only 1 team beat Montreal at the forum. You would have thought either the Leafs, or Red Wings would have done it.

[Indiana Sev]

Originally posted by Indiana Sev

P.S. I was at the old Forum today at a restaurant. They've turned the sacred building into an arcade/comedy club/movie theater/bowling alley/jazz club/Future Shop/etc.

Blasphemy! No wonder the Habs have been shite ever since they moved. They've desecrated their old stomping grounds. It's the curse of the old Montreal Forum. Woooooohohohohohoho! :D

[Indiana Sev]

Okay, easy one. Two part question.

What is the trophy called for the CFL championship and name the last team who won it?

Yeah I saw it when I was there for a wrestling PPV and a leaf game against Montreal last February. I hope they don't turn Maple Leaf gardens into that. At least it's still there unlike what Chicago did to Chicago Stadium and tore the thing down.

[horrorfreak13]

Multiple choice! Multiple choice!

[Grebdron]

Auburn
Michigan
Illinois
Notre Dame

[Shakamaker]

I know the answer, but only because I cheated. I'm not worthy to post it. I'm retreating in shame.

[Indiana Sev]

To be fair, I'll only take one guess: Michigan?

[Grebdron]

Michigan's wrong.

But somebody please answer. I don't care if you cheated. I didn't come up with the question off the top of my head.

You said Illionois, right Sev?

You are correct. Your turn.

[Indiana Sev]

LOL

Why the rush, Greb?

A shallow victory for me. :(

Okay, in the NHL, to whom and for what reason is the William H. Jennings trophy awarded?

[Shakamaker]

[Indiana Sev]

Yes. :eek: I didn't expect an Aussie schmoe to get it. Nice!




























Did you cheat? ;)

[Shakamaker]

No. I've a mate who plays ice over here and he's an NHL nut. I'm a stats geek, so I've browsed his NHL books. Besides, I love and follow the Kings, so I know a bit about hockey.

[horrorfreak13]

Since on the NHL discussion board weve been talking about the spawns of Satan a.k.a. third jerseys

Who were the first 5 teams to wear a 3rd jersey in January 1996

[Indiana Sev]

New York Islanders
Boston Bruins
Buffalo Sabres
Los Angeles Kings
Pittsburgh Penguins

I know they're not all correct, but please let us know which ones are.

[horrorfreak13]

Pittsburgh Penguins
Los Angeles Kings
Boston Bruins

These three are correct the other two are not.

[Moviefan1234]

Is Chicago one?

[The Shootin Surgeon]

Anaheim, FLorida and Tampa Bay?

I remember Anaheim and FLorida having particularly ugly 3rd jerseys...

[horrorfreak13]

Anaheim is one, Chicago, Florida & Tampa are not the other one.

Just to note Anaheim's was ugly and the same with the Kings third jersey

For the last one this team was known for the ugliest jerseys in the 70s & 80s

[The Shootin Surgeon]

The Canucks!!! it was that ugly jersey with the `"C" that went all around it!!!

[horrorfreak13]

It was the Canucks out of those 5 teams only Pittsburgh and Boston actually kept theirs with the other 3 soon scrapping their jersey because they were horrible and that's exactly what Boston should have done to their's

[Indiana Sev]

I'll keep this going...

What city were the New Jersey Devils moved from and what were they called?

For an extra point, post a picture of that team's jersey or logo!

nope

[tbone]

0?

[horrorfreak13]

Correct!

Your turn

[tbone]

Name the three teams the Washington Capitals defeated in the 1998 playoffs on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals.

[Indiana Sev]

Devils?
Leafs?

:confused:

Were the Leafs already in the Eastern conference back then? Hmmm? I think they were.

[horrorfreak13]

Boston in 6 games
Ottawa in 5 games
Buffalo in 6 games

The Leafs didn't make the playoffs and were still in the West at that time and moved to the East the following year.

[horrorfreak13]

Name all the players involved in the trade that sent Doug Gilmour from Calgary to Toronto on January 12 1992. Bonus for who went to Calgary and who went to Toronto.

[horrorfreak13]

HINT. One did it for Los Angles in 1986 the other for Detroit in 1996

[Indiana Sev]

Marcel Dionne & Stevie Wonder?

[horrorfreak13]

Stevie Wonder? :D I didn't know he played hockey.

It's neither of them again keep trying.

[Indiana Sev]

Originally posted by horrorfreak13

You've never heard anyone refer to him as that? I hear it often. That or Stevie Y.

Brendan Shanahan & Bernie Nichols

[horrorfreak13]

I always hear Yzerman always referred to as Stevey Y all the time.

Bernie Nicholls is one of them Shannahan isn't the other one though

[Haddonfield]

Federov or Kozlov???

[horrorfreak13]

Fedorov's the other one. You are Sev can choose the next question.

[Haddonfield]

Only two players have ended the World Series with a winning home run. One was Bill Mazeroski, who was the other?

[Indiana Sev]

Joe Carter?

[Haddonfield]

Bingo Sev!

[Indiana Sev]

Okay, an easy one (I don't know too many hard ones).

What was the first arena the San Jose Sharks played in called?

[Haddonfield]

The worst name in history - Cow Palace

[Indiana Sev]

Originally posted by Haddonfield

[horrorfreak13]

Name the only 4 players in NBA history to score 70+ points in a game

[Haddonfield]

Wilt Chamberlin, David Robinson, David Thompson, and Elgin Baylor??

not sure on Robinson

[horrorfreak13]

All 4 are correct :cool:

[Haddonfield]

How about a "Who Am I?"

I was the first NHL player to record ten points in a single NHL game. Who am I?

[horrorfreak13]

Darryl Sittler

And may I add the only one to do it.

Who scored the first goal in Los Angeles Kings history?

Hint: He's a Hall Of Famer.

[Haddonfield]

Tough one...

Eddie "The Entertainer" Shack


???

[horrorfreak13]

Nope here's another clue he's coaching but not an NHL team

[Haddonfield]

Bob Wall isnt in the Hall is he???

and it CERTAINLY wasnt Terry Sawchuk....Im stumped...

[Haddonfield]

Wait....

It has to be one of three...Im taking a HUGE guess here...

Red Kelly...Howell, or Bob Pulford???????????

[horrorfreak13]

It's neither of them either.

Hint: (and probably the give away clue) He coaches a junior team in the OHL and has over 1,000 Wins

[Indiana Sev]

Marcel Dionne? If not, I have another idea who it might be.

[Haddonfield]

OK, last guess for me...

Brian Kilrea? isnt he the 67's coach for like the last million years?

[horrorfreak13]

yes it is

He's coached Ottawa for 27 years and doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.

[RicochetShaw]

Ask one, Haddonfield. You're up!

[AceD]

What CURRENT NBA team has the most #1 overall draft picks on their team?

Pretty obvious I think to hard-core NBA fans, but might be anice challenge to others. Don't cheat.

[RicochetShaw]

Good question... is it the Minnesota Timberwolves?

[AceD]

Nope, not the Wolves. Remember, we are talking #1 OVERALL in the draft. For instance, Lebron was first this year, Darko second, Carmelo third. Only Lebron would count, so you know the Cavs have at least one. But it's not the Cavs.

I'll give you a hint. The team that has the most only has three.

[AceD]

Just to make it clear...doesn't matter who they were drafted by, team with the most players who were drafted #1 overall that are playing together now.

[Moviefan1234]

Clips?

[AceD]

No, not the Clips. Good guess though. Everyone give up?

[Grebdron]

Memphis?

[Haddonfield]

is it the obvious choice of the Lakers?

[AceD]

Nope neither Memphis nor the Lakers. If you wanna give up, send me a private message and I'll tell yah. Otherwise, we'll see who can get it.

Clue #1 was....The team that has the most on their team right now only has three.

Clue #2...out of those three, one was aquired during this past offseason.

[horrorfreak13]

Dallas Mavericks?

[Moviefan1234]

Denver?

[Grebdron]

Philadelphia
Boston
Washington
New Jersey
New York
Orlando
Miami
Indiana
New Orleans
Detroit
Milwaukee
Toronto
Chicago
Atlanta
Cleveland
Houston
Dallas
San Antonio
Utah
Memphis
Denver
Minnesota
Seattle
LA Lakers
Sacramento
Portland
Golden State
LA Clippers
Phoenix

???

I'm guessing it is one of the above teams.

I think we're stumped, but could guess all day.

Next question.

[Haddonfield]

Ha ha Greb.

Im going to have to say the Bulls..with Pippen being the off-season pick up.

[Cabrini Green]

I know this one -

Philadelphia 76ers
Allen Iverson 96
Glenn Robinson 94
Derrick Coleman 90


Ok name the four NFL running backs who have rushed for over 2000 yards in a season.

[Grebdron]

Barry Sanders
OJ Simpson
Terrell Davis

and

...Shit. Can't remember. I'll try to think of it.

That's it!!

Eric Dickerson.

[AceD]

Nice job, Cabrini. I think I got the four:

Barry Sanders
OJ Simpson
Terrell Davis
Eric Dickerson

I think that's right. Though I'm not 100% certain about Barry...

[Grebdron]

Even though I got it first, I defer.

Go ahead, Ace. shoot us a question.

[AceD]

Sorry, Grebdron, I missed that last part of your post.

Allright, this isn't strictly a sports question, but since we are on JoBlo, which of these athletes HAVE NOT appeared in a movie playing someone other than themself?

-Rick Fox
-Ray Allen
-Allen Iverson
-Kevin Garnett
-Shaq

The key there is players who have been in movies but not as themself.

Part 2:

Which of these NBA players stars in a movie coming out within the next year?

-Chris Webber
-Fred Hoiberg
-Darius Miles
-Luke Walton
-Vince Carter

A two parter, and both are kinda weak questions...sorry. But who'll get it first????

[Moviefan1234]

Part I: Garnett and Iverson

Part II: Darius Miles

Not sure if I'm right...

[AceD]

You got it mostly right, MovieFan, though I should have specified that there was only 1 correct answer to question #1:

Rick Fox- He Got Game
Ray Allen-He Got Game
Shaq-Kazaam, Steel, others

Iverson was in Like Mike but as himself. Garnett was the sleeper because he appeared as Wilt Chamberlain in the movie "Rebound" starring Don Chedale as legendary street baller Earl the Goat.

And yes, Darius Miles will star in "The Perfect Score". Your turn, movie fan.

[Moviefan1234]

An easy one:

How many wins do teams need in college football to be bowl eligible?

[Grebdron]

I think it's 7.

[horrorfreak13]

I don't follow College football much so I'll take a wild guess at this and say 10

[Grebdron]

I have amended my guess to 6, adn I am right.

Should I wait for confirmation?

[AceD]

Man, I'm not sure. I'll say 9, since 7 and 10 have both been said. Or trick question, 1?

[Moviefan1234]

Six it is. Go ahead, Greb.

[Grebdron]

What pro QB completed 404 passes in one season?

[Moviefan1234]

Marino?

[Grebdron]

Would have been my first guess, too.

Nope.

[RicochetShaw]

Hmmm..... Aikman?

[Moviefan1234]

Was it one of Gannon's records from last year?

[Grebdron]

Since I'm in a generous mood...

It's Warren Moon. This year's hall of famer.

Next?

[AceD]

Allright....I got one but it's kinda weird. Here you go:

Karl Malone decided to play for the Lakers because he wanted to win an NBA title. He wears #11 for the Lakers. Who was the last Laker who joined the team after winning a league MVP award with a different team who wore #11? I know that's kinda wordy and might not make sense, but if you do understand it any guesses?

[AceD]

Wow, that brought the postings to a standstill. Sorry. It was Bob McAdoo. Next question.

[Moviefan1234]

James Caan played college football at which school?

[Grebdron]

Michigan State?

[Moviefan1234]

Yes, sir.

[Grebdron]

Here's an easy one...

What player, who played the point guard position, stepped into the center position in the NBA finals, and helped his team win the championship?

[Cabrini Green]

Magic Johnson

Which quarterback threw for the most yards in the superbowl? (hint - The only player to post a 400 yard passing game)

[horrorfreak13]

Joe Montana?

[Cabrini Green]

Actually no, it comes from an active player who is currently a backup.

[horrorfreak13]

Kurt Warner?

[Cabrini Green]

Correct!
You are up.

[horrorfreak13]

How many games did Mario Lemieux miss in the 1992-93 season because of cancer?

[AceD]

I'll guess 0. Just a guess, though.

[horrorfreak13]

not 0

[Indiana Sev]

The whole season? Every game?

[horrorfreak13]

nope.

[chasingbanky]

57

[horrorfreak13]

nope

CLUE: Add up the amount of points Ilya Kovalchuck has right now and his current plus/minus and you will get Mario's games missed due to cancer.

He somehow won the scoring title that year too of Pat Lafontaine.

[Indiana Sev]

18?

Well?

[horrorfreak13]

oops sorry it's been a while hasn't it. nope it's not 18 either.

I'm going to make this down to a multiple choice and that will probably make it a little bit easier.

a)9
b)15
c)23
d)24
e)29

[ToRontoRon]

c) 23

(Just a guess)

It was a damn good one. Correct!:cool:

[ToRontoRon]

Alright. :)

Okay then, here's one that will probably be pretty easy for hockey schmoes, who is the highest scoring U.S. born player in the history of the NHL?

[Indiana Sev]

Joe Mullen?

[horrorfreak13]

Phil Housley?
