Which NFL two-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion claimed to have been a virgin on his wedding night, (age 24), and everyone took him at his word?



Nope.

Prince Amukamara has only one Super Bowl ring, and he has never been named to the Pro Bowl.

Trivia is not a scavenger hunt. Either you know the answer, you think you know the answer, you make an educated guess, or you post a joke answer. Research is not an option, if you plan to post a serious answer.

Research in advance is completely acceptable for anyone posting a question, if only to confirm that one's beliefs are true.
Yes I made a mistake in judgment in the middle of the night.

Pleast don’t scold me a third time lol!

Roger Staubach
Nope.

Roger was 23 when he married Marianne in 1965, (they had been a couple since junior high school), and he was a six-time Pro Bowler.

During Cal Ripken Jr's consecutive game streak, there was only one year that he didn't lead the league in games played. Who topped him, in which year, and with how many games played?

My inner Mr Fuckin' know-it-all voice is saying Julio Franco, and I'm guessing 163 games and 1985.

My first thought was one game playoffs between 1982 and 1995 and I don’t believe there was many,if any in, those years. It’s crazy how I can remember minutia from those years but if you asked me who made the playoffs in 2017 for example it would be a wild guess’s.

So I guess it has to be a pretty good player who got traded in the middle of a year between AL teams. My guess is Carney Lansford remember he got moved from
Boston to Oakland — say 1983.

if I had to make a second guess it would be Harold Baines — say 1990.[/QUOTE]

Interesting. According to the Jeff Marek show the answer is Troy Crowder. Since you did the research I'll accept your answer.
he is probably right. Bob Hallidis played 27 games with Tampa in 1995, and Brent Gretzky played 3. It’s quite possible their paths never crossed as Halkidis was traded from Detroit.

Halkidis certainly played with Wayne in LA, and played in the minors in Rochester a full year or two with Keith.

Other than Gretzky, Lemieux and Orr having more than one 90+ assists seasons, there are two other players to have more than one 90+ assist season, who are they?
Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey is my final answer.

Although I think it might be Bryan Trottier also.

I’ll try two more and then leave it others.
#1. Adam Oates (confident in this one)
#2. Denis Savard — a guess.
