[The Gipper]

Here is some trivia, most, but not all about the Browns next opponent, The New Orleans Saints (starting with some of 'the other'):

 

Though all the answers have been posted, I will do a complete wrapup here:

 

1. Which Ohio State Alum scored the most points in his NBA career?

 

It is John Havlicek with 26,395 points in his NBA career

 

 

2. Who scored the most runs in World Series history?

 

It was Mickey Mantle with 42 World Series runs scored. Yogi Berra is second with 41. The Mick also leads in most career World Series HRs, RBI, Walks, and Strikeouts.

 

 

3. Who is the New Orleans Saints all time career leading passer (yards)?

 

It is still Archie Manning, but sometime soon he will be surpassed by Drew Brees. Manning has 21,734 yards and Brees now has 19971 just with the Saints. So, less than 2000 yards and he will surpass Archie.

 

 

4. What former Browns player led the Saints in receiving in 2005?

 

Donte Stallworth

 

 

5. Who Quarterbacked the Saints from 1968-1970 but then went on later to start a Super Bowl with another team?

 

Billy Kilmer started 3 years with the Saints, but then went to the Redskins where he started and lost that Super Bowl against the undefeated Dolphins.

 

 

6. The Saints have a dog as a mascot. What is the dog's name?

 

Gumbo it is.

 

 

7. Why were gold and black chosen as the Saints colors?

 

Yes, because of that area's ties to the oil industry, i.e. "Black Gold" (Texas T)

 

 

8. What phenomena did New Orleans sportscaster Buddy Diliberto create?

 

Yes, it was his idea to have the fans wear bags over their head and call the team "The Aints" after the team's poor play in the 1980 season.

 

 

9. What is considered the longer interconference (AFC vs. NFC) rivalry?

 

As what most consider a rivalry per se, it would be the Steelers vs. Eagles that began in 1933.

As a continuing series the Steelers vs. any of the old line NFL team in existance at the time in 1993 would count, like against the Giants/Redskins/Packers/Bears/Lions/Cardinals, but there is no perceived great "rivalry" with those other teams. The in state PA rivalry is still considered one. Note of course that this answer would have had to involve one of the teams that switched conferences in 1970: Colts, Browns, Steelers, and since the Steelers are the oldest of those 3 it would have to be them.

 

 

10. As the Browns are playing a team with what is considered a religious nickname, in that same vain: What Big Ten School at one time had the nickname "the Fighting Presbyterian Ministers"?

 

Northwestern University is correct.

 

 

11. After Hurricane Katrina the Saints played in 3 different "home" venues due to the damage in the Superdome. Name the 3 stadiums.

 

The Alamodome in San Antonio, LSU's Tiger Stadium (which though close did not suffer damage from the hurricane) and that "home" game against the Giants in Giant's stadium.

 

 

12. This should be a gimme as it was posted elsewhere: What is the Browns head to head record with the Saints?

 

The Browns are 11-4 head to head with the Saints.

 

[The Gipper]

Not to be all "technical", but these questions always throw me because of the way they are worded. Like Andre Rison, Stallworth wasn't a "former Brown" at the time. Maybe you could word those types of questions "who went on to play for the Browns..." Or ... you could just keep on fooling me, I guess that's the idea!

 

Zombo

 

 

No, I'm not really trying to fool you. By saying "former Brown" I simply meant that he once upon a time in the past (from right now) played for the Browns. Maybe better phrasing in those cases would be appropriate.
