1. A. What is the regular season head to head record between the Dolphins and the Browns?

45 years post merger... play every 2.5 on average (?)... 18 - a couple during our "hiatus" = 16 meetings...

They won the 70's... we won the 80's... split the 90's... they've won the 2000s... should be close... guess 7-9...

B. What is the postseason record? I think we're 1-0... I know we literally ran over them in the mid-80's at old Muni.

2. What former Dolphins HC was a Browns draftee? Shula... was a local boy and John Carroll grad.

3. What Running back that led the Dolphins in rushing several times also played for the Browns?

4. What 3 WRs that led the Dolphins in receiving at least one year also played for the Browns? Warfield, Hartline, Bess(?)

5. What player that made the Pro Bowl for the Dolphins also played for the Browns? Beside Warfield?

6. The Dolphins once drafted two players in the first round in consecutive years that were Brother in Laws. Name these two players.

7. What player was drafted in the same year by the Dolphins in the first round of the AFL draft, and by the Browns in the second round. Hint: he ended up signing with the Dolphins. Second hint: he actually turned out to be a bust anyway.
Can only be a few possibilities and I got none of them....

8. What is the current name of the Stadium that the Dolphins play in now?
Note: now the 7th name this stadium has had. No idea... hope I go to the right one Sunday...
(extra bonus points for naming all 7 names) Joe Robbie was the original name... pretty sure Dolphins Stadium was in the mix...

9. Don Shula coached the Dolphins for 26 years. How many losing seasons did he have?

Wasn't many... maybe 3? I think he had more .500 seasons than he did losing ones.

10. What TV star was an original co-owner of the Dolphins? WAG... Jackie Gleason

11. Miami was not the first choice of the ownership group that was awarded an AFL expansion franchise that became the Dolphins. What city did this group originally want to locate their team? WAG... Orlando

12. What 3 players have had their numbers retired by the Dolphins? Marino... Griese... Csonka...

You'd think at least one from the No-Name D would be included... Bonoconti (sp?) seems the logical choice.

4. What 3 WRs that led the Dolphins in receiving at least one year also played for the Browns?

Hartline has to be one. Probably not, but was Bess also a guy?

Yep, he was a guy. Did Bo Diddley for us, but he did lead the Fish for a year.

(I know...Dolphins are not a fish....Thanks Ace)

OK, I did not know that.

 

So, apparently, yes, absolutely it must have happened twice!. Because there is definitely another set of first round Dolphins brothers in law.

Here is this week Trivia Quiz, all about Browns vs. Dolphins:

 

1. A. What is the regular season head to head record between the Dolphins and the Browns?

It is 8-8, so Sunday is the rubber match

 

B. What is the postseason record?

Browns are 0-2 vs. Miami.

First loss was in 1972 20-14. Dolphins "perfect" season. It was said that the Browns game was their toughest game that entire season.

Next was 1985. Kosar's rookie year. Browns went up 21-3 at the half in Miami and blew it. (sound familiar?) Of course, the Dolphins had Dan Marino in his third year....more or less his prime.

 

 

2. What former Dolphins HC was a Browns draftee?

Don Shula, drafted by Paul Brown in 1951 as a defensive back.

 

 

3. What Running back that led the Dolphins in rushing several times also played for the Browns?

Karim Abdul-Jabbar (not to be confused with that other guy). Led the Dolphins in rushing 3 times.

 

 

4. What 3 WRs that led the Dolphins in receiving at least one year also played for the Browns?

Paul Warfield, Brian Hartline, Davone Bess. I think only Warfield led the Browns in any season.

 

 

5.What player that made the Pro Bowl for the Dolphins also played for the Browns?

Warfield is the only one. He is also I believe the only player that is in the HOF that played for both teams.

 

 

6. The Dolphins once drafted two players in the first round in consecutive years that were Brother in Laws. Name these two players.

My two guys are: John Bosa, drafted in 1st round 1987 married to the sister of Eric Kumerow drafted in 1st round in 1988.....and each of these guys now have kids playing in the NFL: Joey Bosa and Jake Kumerow.

And now I hear that Zach Martin and Jason Taylor are brother's in law. But actually there are not two right answers to my question as I asked about consecutive 1st round choices......Taylor was a 3rd round pick. So, technically only Bosa and Kumerow are correct.

 

 

7. What player was drafted in the same year by the Dolphins in the first round of the AFL draft, and by the Browns in the second round. Hint: he ended up signing with the Dolphins. Second hint: he actually turned out to be a bust anyway.

Rick Norton QB out of Kentucky. Drafted in round 1 in 1966 by Dolphins, round 2 by Browns. Chose to sign with Dolphins. The Dolphins must have known he was going to bust because the very next year they drafted Bob Griese.....Hall of Famer Bob Griese.

 

 

8. What is the current name of the Stadium that the Dolphins play in now?

It is now known as Hard Rock Stadium

Note: now the 7th name this stadium has had.

(extra bonus points for naming all 7 names)

Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, Sun Life Stadium, Dolphin Stadium, Land Shark Stadium, New Miami Stadium. Probably has has more names than any other stadium

And riddle me this: Why would the Hard Rock Co. close down the Cleveland Hard Rock Cafe, then put money into naming rights in Miami?

 

 

9. Don Shula coached the Dolphins for 26 years. How many losing seasons did he have?

Just two: 1976 and 1988

 

 

10. What TV star was an original co-owner of the Dolphins?

Danny Thomas

 

 

11. Miami was not the first choice of the ownership group that was awarded an AFL expansion franchise that became the Dolphins. What city did this group originally want to locate their team?

Philadelphia is where Robbie and Thomas wanted to put their team....but the AFL asked them not to go head to head in Philly with the Eagles, but to put a team in growing south Florida. They agreed.

 

 

12. What 3 players have had their numbers retired by the Dolphins?

Marino, Csonka, Griese.
