The Gipper Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Here is another set of trivia questions, most of which revolve around the NBA and NHL, which are of course "winter" sports whose playoffs go all the way into summer, thus my title of Summertime Blues Trivia. We'll start you out easy then get a little harder: 1. What former Browns player is/or was a part owner of an NHL franchise? 2. The following cities are still involved in the NBA or NHL playoffs. LIst the last year and team that any team from that city won a title in one of the 4 major sports (football, baseball, basketball, hockey): Cleveland Orlando Boston LA/Anaheim Houston Dallas Denver Pittsburgh Detroit Washington Chicago 3. Theoretically, both Boston and LA/Anaheim could have both its team win the "Summertime titles" of the NBA and NHL. When was the last time a city/region had its team win both those titles? 4. Name the 3 current "Major League Cities" (defined as having a franchise in one of the four major sports) that have waited longer than Cleveland to win a title in one of the sport. (Note, there must have been competition in the sport) 5. Name the current "Major League" cities that have never won a title in any of the major sports. 6. What 3 teams have won the most NHL titles? 7. Except for the Celtics and Lakers, what NBA team has won the most titles? 8. Name the only year in which a city had one of its team compete in the Finals of all 4 major sports (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals). Note: for the NFL the "year" is the year in which the regular season is played, not the year of the Jan/Feb. Super Bowl. Give the year and the city. 9. What town which was originally known as "Rat Portage" and which currently has a population of about 15,000 once won a Stanley Cup title? 10. True or False: The cities of Victoria, Seattle, Raleigh, Quebec and Hartford have won a Stanley Cup 11. True or False: The cities of Syracuse, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake, and Louisville have won a Pro Basketball title. The Gipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think these are "stats" much at all. Unless you consider winning championships a mere statistic. Which perhaps it is in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that measure, everything you ever learned in high school or college could be considered trivia, yet, they still tested and graded you...and if you flunked you were assigned to ditch digging and dishwashing. The trivia here may simply be a form of testing your sports knowledge. I mean, can I assume everyone here watches sports? Reads about sports? I betcha if you actually looked at these questions, you probably would find you actually know the answer to many of the questions, just by being a sports fan.
