The topic is 100 win seasons in the MLB:
Name the two managers who hold the record for most 100 win seasons.
Name the 5 managers to lead more than one franchise to 100 win seasons.
The Yankees hold the record for most 100 win seasons(of course). Which franchise is second on the list.
Since division play started(1969) only two 100 win teams failed to make the playoffs. Who are they?
Only once in MLB history has a 100 win team been led by multiple managers in that season. Who was that team?

Question #5 answered correctly by onomatopoeia.

From the "you can't make this stuff up" file.
The Monday night game saw the Denver Broncos take a 15-8 lead at halftime over the Buffalo Bills at halftime. According to ESPN/ABC it was the second NFL game in history to have a halftime score of 15-8. The other game in NFL history to have that halftime score was played in 1961 between.......wait for it.........Denver and Buffalo, where the Broncos had the lead. I'm sure the graphic on the screen stated "NFL", but the 1961 game was an AFL game.

NFL---George Halas 40 years with the Chicago Bears.(Not consecutive years, but did not coach any other team during the intervals)

Here's an easy one. Name the player with the most games in NFL history in which he scored a rushing TD and a passing TD in the same game(at least one of each).

Correctly answered by shack, who apparently has nothing better to do than watch Monday Night Football(like me).

Jim Brown?

I think you read the question wrong. tml is looking for rushing touchdowns and touchdown passes in the same game, not rushing touchdowns and touchdown receptions.

Jim Brown did have three touchdown passes in his NFL career, on 4/12 completions, to go with 106 rushing and 20 receiving.
