Recommended Posts

Either y'all know nothing about this stuff or are too lazy to try.   I will just give answers.

I was going to save this one until tomorrow, but you all knocked out most of the other question today in short order that I will go ahead with this.

This will be a little different....not just one question, but a number of them.    All about Browns history:   Here you go:

1. How many seasons will the Browns now have played, including 2020?

72 Years  (3 year hiatus  96,97,98)

2. How many championships have the Browns won?

8 Titles

3. How many Conference titles have they won?

12 Conf. titles   (meaning  4 in AAFC,  8 in NFL....winning 4 title games and losing 4)

4. How many times have the Browns finished First?

23 times

5.  How many times have the Browns played in the postseason?

29 times

6. How many coaches have the Browns had in their history...including Stefanski,   but not including interim coaches?

19 HCs   (plus interims like Shofner, Robiskie, Williams and others)

7. How many times has a Browns coach won coach of the year.  Which coaches?

8  times as follows:   Paul Brown  4, Sam Rutigliano  2, Forrest Gregg 1, Marty Schottenheimer  1

8. How many times has a Browns player won the MVP award.   Which players

8  MVPs:    Jim Brown 4;   Otto Graham  3;   Brian Sipe  1

9. How many times has a Browns player won the Rookie of the Year?  Which players?

3 ROYs:   Jim Brown,  Chip Banks,  Kevin Mack

10. How many times has a Browns player won  Defensive Player of the Year award?  Which player?

One time:    Michael Dean Perry

11. How many times has a Browns player won the Offensive Player of the Year Award?  Which Players?

3 times:   Jim Brown,  Leroy Kelley, Brian Sipe    (award not given in Otto's days)

12.  Who will be the next Browns player or coach to win any of these Awards? 

Garrett will win a DPOY;    Stefanski will win a COY before he is done.   Baker will win an MVP or  OPOY sometime.

OK dudes,   this will be like the last Trivia Question for a couple of weeks, as beginning Monday I will be out on the road for  12-14 days.  So, make this count:

In NFL history,   14  players had   8  combined  Kickoff or Punt Returns  for TDs in their careers. 

Name these 14 players.

Gayle Sayers comes to mind. Perhaps Gerald McNeil? 

Check on Sayers.  He had 8.  Though  I think at one point he gave up the career duties, and his career was cut so short that he would have been higher

And as much as we loved the IceCube, he only actually ever returned one kick or punt for a TD.

Yeah, I thought that one was a longshot, but I thought he had more than two return touchdowns.

Two part question:

A. Name the only states in the US that have a team in one of the other 3 major sports (NBA/NHL/MLB),  but does not have an NFL team.

 

B.  Name those NFL teams that do NOT play in the city they are named for.    (for purposes of this you can ignore the so call "regional team names like Minnesota, Tennessee, New England, Arizona)

A. Hmmmm, will have to think about that one, I remember reading something like the states with/without pro teams was something like 25/25.  Some obvious like Hawaii some not so obvious like Alabama in the sports rich South.  Georgia has several.

B. Will really have to think about that one.

Is the new stadium that houses the Chargers and Rams actually in Los Angeles proper? 

If that is an answer, you would be right in naming those two. 

Just one left. A bit of a surprising one.  

Oh, look...the Raiders just took the lead in Monday Night Football!

While waiting for the last answer,  I will give you the rest of the story:

"New England" Patriots  play in Foxboro Mass.   FYI, they play closer to downtown Providence RI than to downtown Boston

"Carolina" Panthers  play in Charlotte.   (But "Carolina Hurricanes" NHL play in Raleigh NC)

"Tennessee" Titans play in Nashville

"Minnesota" Vikings play in Minneapolis   (but Minnesota Wild NHL team play in St. Paul)

"Arizona" Cardinals play in Glendale AZ.
