Sports trivia!

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Surprisingly no

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