The Gipper Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Here is some trivia on this week's matchup: Browns vs. Dolphins: 1. What is the all time regular season head to head record between the Browns and the Dolphins? 2. What is the postseason record between the Browns and Dolphins? 3. The Dolpnins have had 4 players born and/or raised in Northeast Ohio lead them in receiving (catches) in a season. Name the 4 players. 4. The Dolphins leading rusher in 1996-97-98 also played for the Browns. Name him. 5. Don Shula, the Dolphins...and the NFL's all time winningest coach is from Painesville and attended John Carroll U. What other former Dolphin's HC also went to college in Northeast Ohio? 6. Stow native Larry Csonka is the Dolphin's career rushing leader....but, only by 301 yards. Who is second behind Csonka in career rushing for the Dolphins? (hint: not from NEO) 7. Shula coached the Dolphins for 26 years. How many losing seasons did he have in those years? 8. What native of Ohio in the entertainment business was the original co-owner of the Dolphins along with Joe Robbie? 9. Mrs. Robert Swanson of Miami was granted lifetime season tickets to Dolphins games as a result of being one of over 600 people who sent in the name of "Dolphins" in the contest to name the team. She got that prize by being the person among those over 600 to correctly name the score of the 1965 Miami U. vs. Notre Dame college football game. What was the score of that game that she correctly predicted? 10. Just like in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the Dolphins DID have a real Dolphin in a tank at the east end of the Orange Bowl as a mascot that was taught to do flips and jumps when the Dolphins scored.

Bonus: The Dolphins still have on their roster a player whom they drafted in 1997, by far the longest tenured player on their roster. Who is this player? Extra bonus: What college did he play for?

The Gipper Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 An aside on question #6. Like Mrs. Swanson, I too suggested and submitted the chosen name to a new professional sports team, but all I got in recognition for my submission of the name was a lousy T-Shirt. That team?: The Akron Aeros. (I chose the name because of Goodyear Aerospace, Loral, Lockheed Martin, BFGoodrich, and other area companies had their hands in the Aerospace Industry....including historically Akron was the original home of the original American lighter than air ships...or Zeppelin's. The Macon and the Akron, and the Shenandoah, which all, like the Hindenberg crashed, though not quite so spectacularly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 3. The Dolphins have had 4 players born and/or raised in Northeast Ohio lead them in receiving (catches) in a season. Name the 4 players. Lavelli and Warfield have to be the only Browns unless there is someone I am missing from the 50's or something. Regarding Warfield and the other 3 Dolphins, I'll go with OJ McDuffie from Hawken and Penn State, Chris Chambers from Bedford and Wisconsin and Ted Ginn Jr from Glenville and OSU. 6. Stow native Larry Csonka is the Dolphin's career rushing leader....but, only by 301 yards. Who is second behind Csonka in career rushing for the Dolphins? (hint: not from NEO)I will go with Ronnie Brown over Mercury Morris and Tony Nathan NO This one has me perplexed. I didn't think Ricky Williams had enough to be the leader, but if it is not the others, it must be him. Flipper was a joke guess BTW. I knew that as much as I know the homo's name who dresses up as Steely McBeam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
