Looking for a good bit of trivia... (1 Viewer)

[tomarken]

I'm looking for some good football trivia questions. Something a little unexpected, not just like "Who was the NFL leading rusher in 1998?" (unless the answer was a kicker or something equally surprising!) Also, the more offbeat the better - ideally it's something they could figure out, but not something they could easily look up on the internet.

These are to keep my league mates busy at work during the offseason, we're all in our mid-20's so preferably nothing prior to 1980. I've run out of league-specific trivia and figured I'd venture out into general NFL trivia.

Anybody have any good ideas?

There was a trivia thread here not too long ago that had alot of good questions. Perhaps a search is in order.

And oddly enough, up until last season, which I think is easily written off, the Saints have had a winning record under Brooks.

Yep, they were always just good enough to get us excited but then totally dash our hopes at the end.

OK, it really depends on how you look at it. Brooks was QB when the Saints won their first playoff game in the 2000 season. Then he was benched in the middle of last season in 2005. so, really it's been 4 1/2 years.Saints fan:

NFL Trivia

 

[GregR_2]

How many different ways are there to score in an NFL game?

(Spoiler space)

7.

Touchdown, field goal, PAT, 2 pt converstion, fair catch kick, 2 pt safety, 1 pt safety (defense knocks the ball out of their own end zone on an extra point).

This might not be quirky enough for you but I'll try...
