NFL Who Am I?

[pack_fan91]

Ok, this will be like any normal Who Am I? that you have ever played. I will give hints when they are requested, the person to guess right will get to do the next question and so on.

To start:

I have been released by two teams in one season.

I have been arrested for DUI two times in one season.

I have played for the Seahawks and Vikings as well as a third team.

Who am I?

[ben voyonsdonc]

Koren Robinson

[rubecube]

Koren Robinson

You're supposed to follow it up with your own question after you get it right...

[ben voyonsdonc]

I wasn't sure if I got it right...

Anyways --

1) I was born in the "garlic capital of the world"
2) Am a Pro Bowler despite never being drafted.
3) Have gotten the starting job (for various lengths of time) by replacing three Pro Bowl players - one of whom is recent inductee in the Hall of Fame.

Jeff Garcia.

My father played for one of the great dynasties during the 70s.

I was drafted in the 1st round of the 2002 NFL Draft.

[J pold]

William Green?

[rubecube]

William Green?

Nope, but that's a pretty good coincidence.

[rubecube]

Alright, since this seems to be going nowhere. The answer was Donte Stallworth. His father, John, played WR for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1970s.

Next question:

I was undrafted and was never a first-string player during my college career.

I won a Super Bowl during my rookie season.

In 2006 I set a franchise record for most rushing yards in a single game.

Who am I?

[Dion]

Frank Gore - 49'ers

148 yards rushing in the first half

[rubecube]

Nope.

[ben voyonsdonc]

I don't believe that John Stallworth is Donte's father but I could be wrong. They are related but they aren't father/son.

[Pagal4321]

Willlllllllllie Parker?

[rubecube]

Willlllllllllie Parker?

Correct. Your turn.

[ben voyonsdonc]

<Pedant Alert>But Willie Parker suited up for 8 games the year before the Super Bowl...so he technically wasn't a rookie when he won the Super Bowl.</Pedant Alert>

[Pagal4321]

I set school and conference records for rushing and touchdowns while in college.

I had a total of 373 carries in the NFL before this year.

I had the longest run in franchise history in 2006.

Who am I?

[rubecube]

Travis Henry?

[pack_fan91]

Chester Taylor!

[pack_fan91]

Okay, checked it out, and it was Chester Taylor. So here we go:

-I have gotten the oppurtunity to go to one Super Bowl
-I have stayed with the same team for my entire career
-I have had 32.5 sacks in my entire career.

[rubecube]

Brian Urlacher

[pack_fan91]

Yep, you got it

[rubecube]

- I was one of three first round picks in the same year by my current team.

- My playoff record is 2-2

- I played college ball at Marshall University

[moon]

I am going to guess Chad Pennington but with his loss this year he is 2-3 in the play-offs.

Lost: 2006- NE, 2004- Pit, 2002- Oak
Won- 2004- SD, 2002- IND

[rubecube]

That's right. I forgot about Oakland. To be fair, it's hard to remember them as a playoff team.

[moon]

That's right. I forgot about Oakland. To be fair, it's hard to remember them as a playoff team.

It has been awhile since they were anything close to respectable.

If someone else has one go ahead and post it. I will try to get one up soon.

[burn_baby_burn]

I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers then released. Another NFL team picked me up when I was playing semi pro football. I would go on to win 2 NFL championships, 1 Super Bowl, 2 NFL MVP's, and end up in the Hall of Fame.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Johnny Unitas?

[burn_baby_burn]

Johnny Unitas?

Bang on. I would guess that Johnny U would be rooting against the Indianapolis Colts in the upcoming Super Bowl if he were still with us.

[ben voyonsdonc]

- I was drafted to a Canadian baseball team in 1995
- I competed with a fellow baseball draftee to QB my college team.
- My career path could have drastically changed without the intervention of an obscure rule.

[burn_baby_burn]

Tom Brady? I know its right.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Very nice...

[burn_baby_burn]

I finished third in Heisman trophy voting.

I was drafted by Pittsburgh, but never played for them.

I won four NFL titles.

I was on the winning side of the most lopsided NFL title game ever.

[Sainters7]

I don't believe that John Stallworth is Donte's father but I could be wrong. They are related but they aren't father/son.

John Stallworth is Donte Stallworth's dad. 100%

[moon]

John Stallworth is Donte Stallworth's dad. 100%

Really?

From what I have read on the internet I would havbe said 100% that he is not his dad.

[ben voyonsdonc]

John Stallworth is Donte Stallworth's dad. 100% Could you find a link to substantiate this?

Here is a fairly recent list of father-son NFL players and Stallworth is not on this list:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9489101

[pack_fan91]

Getting back on the subject... I am going to say that it was Brent Jones taking part in the 49ers 55-10 Super Bowl victory over the Denver Broncos.

[Sainters7]

Could you find a link to substantiate this?

Here is a fairly recent list of father-son NFL players and Stallworth is not on this list:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9489101

...of course when I said Donte's 100% John's son, I meant he is not his son :p. Wow I just looked it up and you guys are right, he's not! Im a huge Saints fan and always loved Stallie during his time in New Orleans. And I couldve SWORN it was his dad, in fact Im pretty sure Ive heard media members talk about it before. But I looked it up and it just said he has John's bloodlines. If it was actually his dad Im pretty sure they wouldnt word it that way. Huh...learn somethin new every day I suppose.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Im a huge Saints fan and always loved Stallie during his time in New Orleans. While I am not a huge Saints fan myself (I'm a Cowboys fan), I was cheering really, really hard for them to play in the Super Bowl. I like Sean Payton and I think it would have been an amazing story to have the Saints go all the way the year after the Hurricane Katrina debacle. Even though they didn't make the big show there is no doubt that they sure represented themselves and their fans well.

[burn_baby_burn]

Getting back on the subject... I am going to say that it was Brent Jones taking part in the 49ers 55-10 Super Bowl victory over the Denver Broncos.

Incorrect. Hint: NFL title game, not Super Bowl. Plus the Super Bowl you mentioned is not even close to the most lopsided NFL Championship game of all time.

Another Hint:

My coach is legendary.

I played my college ball at Columbia.

[burn_baby_burn]

I didn't realize this would be so hard. I thought the reference to the most lopsided title game of all time would give it away. I'll go over the hints again.

I finished 3rd in Heisman trophy voting.

I was drafted by Pittsburgh, but never played for them.

I was on the winning side of the most lopsided title game (not Super Bowl) in NFL history.

My coach is Legendary.

I played my College ball at Columbia.

New Hint: I threw 7 TD's in one game (current NFL shared record).

[Sylvanfan]

Sid Luckman old time QB of the Bears.

[burn_baby_burn]

Sid Luckman old time QB of the Bears.

Yup. What gave it away? Sid Luckman the QB for the "Monsters of the Midway" defeated the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL title game 73-0.

[Sylvanfan]

Yup. What gave it away? Sid Luckman the QB for the "Monsters of the Midway" defeated the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL title game 73-0.

7 TD passes in a game. :D I was going to post about a receiver who played 9 seasons in the NFL from 82 to 91 and held the NFL's single game record for receiving yards in a game collecting over 300 in said game. But I figured that would be too easy for you.

[burn_baby_burn]

Stephone Page.

PS. Luckman's 7 TD's in 1 game is amazing because the passing game was no where near as advanced in his day as it is today.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am considered the best, at my position, of all time.

I had 11 solo tackles in my first NFL game.

I was an All Pro 6 times.

I was selected to the Pro Bowl 9 times.

In 2000 I was selected to the the NFL's All Time Team.

And of course, I am in the Hall Of Fame.

[rubecube]

Lawerence Taylor?

[burn_baby_burn]

Lawerence Taylor?

Good guess, but no. Another hint. I never won a Super Bowl.

[rubecube]

Dick Butkus?

[burn_baby_burn]

Dick Butkus?

Bingo!

[rubecube]

- I earned All-Conference and All-Academic honors during my college career

- Was drafted in the 4th round in 1999 NFL draft out of Florida State.

- I am a former Super Bowl MVP

- I have played with 3 different teams during my career

[burn_baby_burn]

Dexter Jackson?

[rubecube]

Yep.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am the 7th son of a 7th son. (no joke)

I was drafted by Pittsburgh.

2 years later I was traded to Cleveland.

3 years later I was released.

I would eventually lead the team that picked me up to be Super Bowl Champions.

I was also the MVP of the same Super Bowl.

When I was inducted into the Hall of Fame, my coach introduced me.

Years later when my coach was enshrined, I introduced him.

[rubecube]

Doug Williams?

[burn_baby_burn]

Is Doug Williams in the Hall of Fame? Regardless, incorrect.

[rubecube]

Is Doug Williams in the Hall of Fame? Regardless, incorrect.

I would certainly hope not. Wasn't thinking there.

[rubecube]

Len Dawson?

[burn_baby_burn]

Len Dawson?

Very Good!

[rubecube]

This one shouldn't be too hard.

- I have played with two hall of fame QBs

- I have played played with a man who was considered the best ever player at his position but is not in the hall of fame.

- I am the only player in NFL history to win 3 consecutive Super Bowls

[burn_baby_burn]

Ken Norton Jr. I watched America's Game last night about the 92 Cowboys. You must have as well.

[rubecube]

Ken Norton Jr. I watched America's Game last night about the 92 Cowboys. You must have as well.

Yeah, that's why it was on the brain but I caught it earlier this year during a Niners broadcast. He's the D coordinator for them I think.

[burn_baby_burn]

I was drafted 1st overall.

I had arguably, the biggest (not hardest) hit in NFL history.

I was the last player in the NFL to play on both sides of the ball.

[rubecube]

I was drafted 1st overall.

I had arguably, the biggest (not hardest) hit in NFL history.

I was the last player in the NFL to play on both sides of the ball.

Chuck Bednarik destroyed Frank Gifford. He was the last player to play both sides of the ball with any regularity but not the last one to actually do it. William Perry, Deion Sanders, and Troy Brown are just a few.

[burn_baby_burn]

Bednarik said recently that Deon & Brown were wimps because they played positions that didn't have any contact. With that hit on Gifford, he knocked Frank out of football for 18 months.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/mightychief/bednarick.jpg

In that picture, he told NFL Films that he wasn't gloating or show boating. He said he didn't even know that Gifford was lying there. He said he got off the ground and yelled "this F'n game is over"!

[rubecube]

Bednarik said recently that Deon & Brown where wimps because they played positions that didn't have any contact.

LOL. I don't really know of a position in football that doesn't involve contact. Maybe kicker.

[rubecube]

- I palyed my college ball with the Gators

- I am the only player in the NFL to have more than one INT return of more than 100 yards

- I went to the same high school as one of my current teammates

[burn_baby_burn]

I would guess Ed Reed. But he went to Miami.

Marcus Coleman?

[rubecube]

Nope.

- I am also a 2 time Pro Bowler and 2 time All-American

- I spent most of last season on IR.

[burn_baby_burn]

Lito Shepard?

[rubecube]

Yep. He has two INT returns of 101 and 102 yds.

[burn_baby_burn]

I led my college team to victories in both the Sugar Bowl and the Cotton Bowl.

I signed with the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League, but never played for them.

I am the only player to ever lead the NFL in an offensive category, a defensive category, and a speacil teams category.

Who am I?

[rubecube]

George Blanda?

[burn_baby_burn]

George Blanda?

No.

I was chosen as one of the top NFL players of the 20th Century by the Sporting News and the Associated Press.

I was chosen as one of the top College football players of all time by the College Football News.

I am also on the NFL's 75th Aniverysary team.

[rubecube]

Gale Sayers?

[burn_baby_burn]

Gale Sayers?

Not even close.

Read the hints. I don't think Gale Sayers played defense. And if he did he didn't lead the league in a defensive category for an entire season.

Another hint.

The speacil teams category is punting.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another hint. The Defensive category is Interceptions.

[Sylvanfan]

Sammy Baugh

[burn_baby_burn]

Sammy Baugh

Slingin Sammy Baugh! QB for the Washington Redskins. Correct! Amazingly, he will turn 93 on March 17. He was picked as the 3rd greatest NFL player of the 20th Century by the Associated Press. 11th Greatest NFL player of the 20th Century by the Sporting News. 4th Greatest College Football player ever by Sport Magazine. 3rd Greatest College Football player ever by the Associated Press. And of course he is the greatest Washington Redskin of all time. He is quite the character as well. If you ever see him on NFL films it is worth watching.

[Flames in 07]

I know you are supposed to win first, but I read page 2 and 3 and had almost everyone, just to scroll down to see that one of you had picked it up already.

I got a good one.

I was drafted first overall in the NFL
I was drafted first overall in the CFL
I played in the CFL because they paid me more
The NFL changed the timing of their draft (to be after the CFL at the time) because of me.

[burn_baby_burn]

Randy Duncan? QB University of Iowa.

[Flames in 07]

Hints:
I played O Line at Oklahoma
I played pro ball for the Eskimos
I snubbed the Cleveland Browns after they drafted me #1.

[Flames in 07]

More Hints

I played C and LB in college.
I was second in voting for the Heisman.

[burn_baby_burn]

Well Randy Duncan was drafted first overall in the NFL in 1959 and went to the CFL instead. But that isn't who you are thinking of. I coudn't tell you a single CFL draft pick ever. So I guess I am out.

Not to sound like a baby. But isn't this "NFL Who Am I?". Not CFL who am I?

[Displaced Flames fan]

Kurt Burris

[burn_baby_burn]

Kurt Burris

If that is correct then the hints are misleading.

[Flames in 07]

Kurt Burris

Burris is correct, what is misleading about it

[moon]

Burris is correct, what is misleading about it

He wasn't drafted first overall in the NFL.

[Flames in 07]

oops, I didn't mean to say 'overall' for the nfl one. sorry.

[burn_baby_burn]

oops, I didn't mean to say 'overall' for the nfl one. sorry.

No problem. That is why I picked Randy Duncan because he was picked first overall in the NFL in 1959 but opted to play in the CFL. But that was after the NFL changed its draft date in 1956 so I was a little confused. But I woudn't have picked Burris anyways.

[Flames in 07]

I never really got to know many pro athletes but Kurt was one of them. For him the decision was quite simple. Edmonton paid more.

[burn_baby_burn]

Well since Displaced Flames Fan doesn't appear to be posting a question. I'll go ahead and get the ball rolling agian.

I was my teams first ever draft pick.

I only missed one game in my entire career.

I am considered the greatest player ever in my teams history.

I am considered the best player at my position in NFL history.

Who am I?

[rubecube]

Otto Graham?

[burn_baby_burn]

Otto Graham?

Otto Graham was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1942. Is Otto Graham the best ever at his position? Arguably. Is he the best player ever for his team? Maybe, him or Jim Brown. But no that is not the correct answer.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another Hint.

I played at the same college as another famous Texan who is also on the NFL's 75th Aniversary team.

[rubecube]

Bob Lilly?

[burn_baby_burn]

Bob Lilly?

You got it. The Sporting News named Lilly the best Defensive Lineman in NFL history. He was also #10 on the NFL's All 20th Century Team. The top D lineman and the top rated Dallas Cowboy on that team. Bob attended Texas Christian University, the same school that Washington Redskin great Sammy Baugh played at.

[rubecube]

- I was a first round pick in 1962 draft

- I played my entire career with the same team

- I made the the Pro Bowl every year of my 14 year career.

[Flames in 07]

Merlin Olsen?

EDIT: my 2nd pick is Carl Eller

[rubecube]

Merlin Olsen is correct.

[burn_baby_burn]

Merlin Olsen is correct.

You forgot to mention the Little House on the Prairie part. :D

[Flames in 07]

OK.

I'm person "A" I was the only player in the NFL with all five vowels in my last name.

I'm person "B" I was on the only player in the NFL with all five vowels in my last name back in 1996

[Flames in 07]

Hint:

We were/are both linebackers

[burn_baby_burn]

Hint:

We were/are both linebackers

Question? Have these two players done anything else of note? Or is their only claim to fame having all 5 vowels in their last name?

[Flames in 07]

Starting Linebackers ... nothing anymore special than that.

If you like I can tell you teams they played on.

[burn_baby_burn]

Mark Simoneau, New Orleans Saints. As for player B. I have no clue.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Sorry guys, I had forgotten to check back and see if I was right. Hope I didn't hold up the fun for too long!

[burn_baby_burn]

I was the first ever black player at my position in American Professional Football.

During the Conferance Semi-finals on a 1st and goal from the 1. I was responsible for two tackles against the defending Super Bowl Champions. It was the biggest goal line defense in team history eventually leading to a Super Bowl Victory.

I was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

[Flames in 07]

Buck Buchanan

[burn_baby_burn]

Buck Buchanan


Nope.

I am still alive.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am on the NFL's 75th Aniversary team.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another hint.

I was such a verocious hitter, that my teams trainer had to put extra padding on the outside of my helmet, to protect the players I was hitting.

[SteveToms]

Willie Lanier

[burn_baby_burn]

Willie Lanier

Right on.

[SteveToms]

I played for the Raiders and the Chiefs
I am in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Marcus Allen?

[SteveToms]

Ding!

[burn_baby_burn]

During WWII, I was a machine gunner at the Battle of the Bulge.

I broke my leg during an NFL title game, but refused to leave the bench area untill after I had witnessed my team win in overtime.

I am a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the NFL's 75th Anniversary team.

You got it.

[Bobblehead]

When, at halftime, the team I owned found out that I had died, the team rallied to defeat the Chicago Bears 21-17.

[burn_baby_burn]

When, at halftime, the team I owned found out that I had died, the team rallied to defeat the Chicago Bears 21-17.

What was the deficit? And where was the game played?

[Bobblehead]

What was the deficit? And where was the game played?

Where tha game was played would give away the team (and hence the owner/answer). Suffice it to say it was an away game for the Bears.

The deficit at half was 17-7


Edit: OK, that is still a bit vague. The Superbowl didn't exist yet when this occured

Sorry about that. I didn't mean for you to give the team away. I meant home or away. :cool:

[burn_baby_burn]

Sorry about that. I didn't mean for you to give the team away. I meant home or away. :cool:

Curly Lambeau? Its a shot in the dark. But he died in the 60's and the Pac hate the Bears.

[Bobblehead]

Nope.

[burn_baby_burn]

Yeah, I checked it out. Curly Lambeau died on June 1. So I guess that eliminates him.

[Bobblehead]

Hint: Occurred in the 50s. Was a regular season game.

[burn_baby_burn]

Anthoney J. Morabito, founder of the San Francisco 49ers. Died of a heart attack at the game.

[Bobblehead]

Anthoney J. Morabito, founder of the San Francisco 49ers. Died of a heart attack at the game.

You got it.

On October 27, 1957, Tony Moraboto died of a heart attack while watching the 49ers play the Chicago Bears (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Bears) at Kezar Stadium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kezar_Stadium). Having suffered a coronary occlusion in 1952 Tony had been living on "borrowed time". Doctors citing the dangerous, high emotional factors of football urged him to get out of football the sport. The 49ers were losing, 17-7 when a note "Tony's gone" was passed to the coach. Turning away numerous Chicago touchdown onslaughts in the fourth period, they stormed back for a 21-17 upset victory.

[burn_baby_burn]

You got it.

What made you come up with him? Are you a niners fan? I learned quite a bit trying to figure this one out and got some good idea's as well.

[burn_baby_burn]

In college I scored every point for my team in a bowl game.

I was originally drafted by the Chicago Bears.

I won three NFL Titles.

After my third NFL title, ownership thought that I was injured and traded me.

I stated that the team would "never win again for 50 years".

[Bobblehead]

What made you come up with him? Are you a niners fan? I learned quite a bit trying to figure this one out and got some good idea's as well.

Yeah. If you knew I was 49ers fan it may have made the question much easier. :)

Another Hint.

Some fans claim that I cursed the team with my remark about not winning for another 50 years.

I died in the 1980's.

[Bobblehead]

Bobby Layne

[burn_baby_burn]

Bobby Layne

Uh, huh. Bobby Layne. The reason the Lions have sucked since 1957. Now that the 50 years are up. I wonder if the Lions will actually start to do something?

[Bobblehead]

On Oct 17, 1999, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field(20-16). Name the previous Philadelphia based team to visit the Bears and win, and what was the significance of that game?

[burn_baby_burn]

Was it the 1948 NFL title game? Eagles shut out the Cardinals 7-0.

[Bobblehead]

Was it the 1948 NFL title game? Eagles shut out the Cardinals 7-0.

Whew - I screwed up the question a bit, but I'm saved because the 1948 title game was held in Philadelphia's Shibe Park (apparently during a blizzard).

I'll correct the question because it should be "...to visit the Bears and win..." (since I forgot the Bears weren't the only team in that city)

(the bolding doubles as a hint. I'm so tricky :D)

[burn_baby_burn]

Frankford Yellow Jackets defeating the Bears in 1931. The last time a Philly based team won a game in Chicago. I was leaning that way, but then I thought about the 1948 game, and totally overlooked the fact that is was played in Philly.

Yes.

That was the last game ever for the Yellow Jackets - they suspended operations the next day.

[burn_baby_burn]

Yes.

That was the last game ever for the Yellow Jackets - they suspended operations the next day.

After a year the NFL awarded an expansion team in Philly to the same two owners as the Yellow Jackets. The fee was $2,500.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am the only player in NFL history to be given a personal foul, while carrying the ball.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am the only player in NFL history to be given a personal foul, while carrying the ball.

I thought this would be any easy one. That is why I only gave the one hint.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am the only player in NFL history to be given a personal foul, while carrying the ball.

Another hint. It was in the 1970's.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another Hint:

I played for a former AFL team.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another Hint:

I was a RB.

[burn_baby_burn]

Another hint:

I won two Super Bowls and I am in the Hall of Fame.

[burn_baby_burn]

Lets go through the hints.

A running back in the 1970's.

Playing for a former AFL team (I made a mistake sorry).

I am the only know player to be penalized with a personal foul while carrying the ball.

My team won two Super Bowls.

I am in the Hall of Fame.

[Cowboy89]

Larry Csonka

[burn_baby_burn]

Larry Csonka

You got it. He gave a DB from the Bills a stiff arm in 1972 while he was running up the side line. A flag was thrown and eveyone assumed it was on the Defense because it allways is. The ref took the ball and started to count 15 yards the opposite way. Schula told the ref that he was counting the wrong way. The ref informed him otherwise.

[burn_baby_burn]

Who said the following?

"We knew in that huddle. This was a group. Destined! To apply the kind of pressure. That had not been seen before."

[Biff]

I don't know but I hope it wasn't the guys from the naked football game picture.

[Cowboy89]

Who said the following?

"We knew in that huddle. This was a group. Destined! To apply the kind of pressure. That had not been seen before."

Mike Singletary . . . You watch too much NFL Network my friend. They play that commercial way too much.

[burn_baby_burn]

Mike Singletary . . . You watch too much NFL Network my friend. They play that commercial way too much.

I just wanted to see who else was watching. Your turn.

[Cowboy89]

This Quarterback lead the Steelers to a birth in Super Bowl XXX against the Cowboys.

Who is Neil O'Donnell. I was actually at Super Bowl XXX. My brother and I were anticipating the Chiefs making an appearance and since our grandparents lived in Mesa we organized a trip with some friends. It was quite the experience. We didn't actually get tickets to the game. But we hung around the stadium while the game was on. It was pretty cool.

Good story, attending a Super Bowl game is on my life's 'to do list' for sure. I have only made random trips to the odd regular season NFL game in different cities.

[burn_baby_burn]

I am a five time All Pro.
I won 5 NFL Titles and 2 SuperBowls. (this should give away the decade and the team).
I am a member of the NFL's 50th Aniversary team.
I gave arguably the biggest block in NFL history. (once you figure out the team, this should give you a clue to the game, then the player)
I also place kicked early in my carrier.

[Cowboy89]

Jerry Kramer?

[burn_baby_burn]

Jerry Kramer?

Correct.

I really enjoyed his commentary about the 1967 Packers on America's Game on the NFL Network. Especially talking about the drive in the Ice Bowl.

[burn_baby_burn]

The first NFL pass I ever completed was to myself. Who am I?

[Drunk Skunk]

The man, the myth, the legend, the record holder for most touchdown passes thrown in NFL history - Brett Favre (http://public.fotki.com/downstroy/packers/056.html)

Thats an easy one. Your turn.

ps.

Cool pics. Do you go to many NFL games?

[Drunk Skunk]

I was once a promising prospect in the Yankees organization and a Heisman trophy candidate. I now, presumably, am bagging groceries after being cut this fall by an NFL team. Who am I?

I usually go to one Packers game a year, this year's game is in a couple weeks.

Drew Henson :)

I quarterbacked the Pittsburgh Steelers to an improbable playoff spot in 1989 and willed them to an upset victory against the Houston Oilers in the AFC Wild Card game. Who am I?

[FlamesKickAss]

Will Shields

[burn_baby_burn]

Will Shields

You got it. :w00t:

[FlamesKickAss]

I had to cheat to find it, i feel dirty. Oh well

I played 12 of my 14 years on the same team
I was originally a Wide reciever
Who am I?

[burn_baby_burn]

I was originally a Wide reciever


In the NFL or in College?

[FlamesKickAss]

In the NFL or in College?

NFL

[burn_baby_burn]

Kordell Stewart? He wasn't with the Steelers for 12 years so that can't be right. Thought I would throw that out there anyway.

[FlamesKickAss]

No it's not Kordell
when is an appropriate time to give another clue?

[FlamesKickAss]

okay another clue, might not help though

"I played in the 2005 world series of poker."

[burn_baby_burn]

Shannon Sharpe. I was thinking of Black QB's. But just coudn't get the numbers to add up.

[FlamesKickAss]

yeppers

[burn_baby_burn]

I was traded before the start of the season.
After one week the team that I was traded to asked the commisioner to recind the trade so I returned to my original team.
I was thought of as an "emotionally disturbed misfit"
I ended up being a huge part in helping my team win their first ever Super Bowl.
The team I helped win is based in the same city I was born in.

[FlamesKickAss]

are we supposed to actually know this or search it out?

[FlamesKickAss]

ah what ever
Duane Thomas. the misfit comment helped me find it.

[FlamesKickAss]

I am one of only 3 non american players to start an NFL game at quarterback since 1970.

I am the only quarterback to relieve peyton manning during a regular-season game.

I am one of 5 players to throw for 300+ yards in my first nfl game

:yay:

[Flames in 07]

I had a 15 year career spanning over the 80's and 90's.
I played my first 13 years with my first team, and played in 3 playoff games.
In my 14th year, I changed teams, played for near the league minimum but rec'd a 7 digit bonus if we won the conference ... turns out, we won the superbowl. I won a ring and $1M bonus.

ahahaha Joe montana
i have actually no clue about old football!

[Flames in 07]

Not Joe Montana

[Displaced Flames fan]

Trent Dilfer? He might be too late

[Flames in 07]

Not Trent Dilfer

[Displaced Flames fan]

Doug Williams, Grambling State University?

[Flames in 07]

Not Doug Williams ... I can PM a hint if you want ... but probably not fair to answer on the thread if you do get hints.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Not Doug Williams ... I can PM a hint if you want ... but probably not fair to answer on the thread if you do get hints.

No hints!

I think maybe I know what your hint would've been, but it doesn't help a whole heck of a lot if that's the case!

[Flames in 07]

the hint would be his position.

[Displaced Flames fan]

the hint would be his position.

I totally assumed QB for some reason. Wow.

[Flames in 07]

Nope. And he didn't play in a Bayou Classic. That's now 2 hints!!

[Rhetts_the_Best]

Defense?

[Flames in 07]

I'll give this a few more days until any decent hints come out

[Flames in 07]

OK, it's hint time. He played defence.

[SteveToms]

What year did he retire? Did he play more in the 80s? in the 90s? This is a tough one

[Flames in 07]

What year did he retire? Did he play more in the 80s? in the 90s? This is a tough one

Mostly 80's.

went to several probowls.

[FlamesKickAss]

Man this is a tough one. The couple players I came up with on my own didnt match up.

[Flames in 07]

OK another hint. He moved inside his division ... however the team he moved from and moved to are no longer in the same division.

[SteveToms]

AFC, or NFC?????

[Flames in 07]

Nfc

[SteveToms]

I guess I should asked a better question, seems NFC dominated during time period I am thinking off

[FlamesKickAss]

Rickey Jackson?

That was a tough one, think its right. He used to play for New Orleans and up until 2002 they were in the NFC West which is where san fran was and is.

[foofighter15]

I wanna say Charles Mann.

[FlamesKickAss]

you might be right, Jackson played 4 playoff games with the saints, well the saints played 4 playoff gamesd while he was there. 87,90,91,92

[Flames in 07]

Rickey Jackson is the right answer.

Just voted in as a HOF semi finalist. The saints played in 4 games during his tenure Jackson played in 3. Was a 6 time probowler as well.

FKA is up.

[FlamesKickAss]

oh sorry forgot about this, will think of one by tomorrow

[SteveToms]

Awesome :)

[Flames in 07]

It's been a day and then some. ST, I nominate you as questioner.

[SteveToms]

All right

[FlamesKickAss]

It's been a day and then some. ST, I nominate you as questioner.

yea sorry been busy. go ahead ST

[Flames in 07]

All right I'm doing it

I was drafted #7 overall in 2003. What is unique about me is that I was drafted by the team that had the 8th pick in the draft.

You need to answer who was the pick and why was he drafted 7th, by the 8th team.

[Montana Moe]

Byron Leftwich, was picked 7th by Jacksonville because Minnesota took to long to submit their pick.

[SteveToms]

Way too easy....

[Montana Moe]

Hope this isn't too easy...

I have three Super Bowl rings.
I left college football as my conference's leader in all purpose yards and total touchdowns.

[foofighter15]

Jerry Rice?

[burn_baby_burn]

Hope this isn't too easy...

I have three Super Bowl rings.

Emmit Smith?

Edit: I see that Emmit doesn't even hold the record for all purpost yards for the Gators. So it must not be him.

[Montana Moe]

Hope this isn't too easy...

I have three Super Bowl rings.

Here's Daddy:
http://www.starskyandhutchonline.com/huggy.jpg

[SteveToms]

Bingo, I was too tired to make it hard.

[Montana Moe]

He was a GREAT player.

Will never get the recognition he deserves because of where he played and the brief span of his career.

[Montana Moe]

I am a Hall of Famer that never played football before college...

Jim Thorpe.

[Montana Moe]

Jim Thorpe.

Excellent choice, and true if boarding school is considered college, but not who I am thinking of.

I'll be a bit more specific...

I was enshrined into the Hall of Fame in the 1990's

[foofighter15]

Well I figure its gotta be a kicker or coach or builder or something like that.
so is it Jan Stenerud?

[Montana Moe]

Well I figure its gotta be a kicker or coach or builder or something like that.

You got it! Montana State's only Hall of Famer went to college on a ski jumping scholarship and only played two years of college ball.

[burn_baby_burn]

Jan Stenerud. I'm a Chiefs fan and I completely over looked him. Went to Montana State on a skiing scholarship.

[foofighter15]

Sweet that means I'm up. I've been sitting on this one forever.

Who was the first recipient of a Brett Farve pass in the NFL? And bonus points if you know the yardage

[burn_baby_burn]

Brett Favre. That one has allready been done.

[burn_baby_burn]

I was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers.
I was also offered a contract by the Chicago Cubs.
I played in three pro leagues.
Who am I?
