Gorka Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Why "damned" immigrants? Just by matching the name with the country: Janikowski gotta be Poland Tunch Ilkin - gotta be Turkey. Peculiar sounding name in the same vein as Cenk Uygur...that piece of shit liberal commentator who happens to be Turkish. Van Brocklin - Denmark Jan Stenerud - Norway. Since "Jan" and "Van" are Scandinavian names, I could have Van Brocklin and Stenerud backwards. Frank Sinkwich - Croatia...."ich" is a Slavic name ending, and since Croatia is the only other Slavic country besides Poland on the list I'll go with that.

Janikowski, Ilkin, Stenerud, Sinkwich correct. And I never used the name Van Brocklin. Not sure where you got that from., or you must have meant Steve Van Buren, not Norm Van Brocklin. That is Not correct anyway. (Besides...Van is not Scandinavian, it is Dutch or German for the most part). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did you bother to read my post where I asked you if you were talking about Van Buren? Hello McFly is anybody. You are the one that couldn’t keep Van Buren and Van Brocklin straight. It’s a wrong answer nevertheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of ich names are also Slovak from Slovakia part of the old Czechoslovakia not to be confused with Slovenia.

Just by matching the name with the country: Actually this is pretty accurate with what is going on in the world today with the coronovirus and what has happened over the last few centuries with immigrants in the USA. Immigrants like my grandfather from the Ukraine who settled in Youngstown Ohio we among the ones that built this country working in the mills, factories and mines. You can never underestimate their contributions to what they did including fighting in the wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yugoslavia which I was told actually means "southern slavs" was that group of countries that was tightly run by that old Commie Tito until the USSR finally fell apart and the rush (and in some cases bloodshed) was on to regain their own sovernty. Remember the old Commie inspired Yugo ? For about $3,000 you could get a cheap bucket of bolts that was a new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question.

Note/hint: 8 of them are players, 2 of them "other" either coach or contributor. Name as many of these 10 as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
