I'm pretty sure I'm right, so I'll ask a new question

The Cubs "Curse of the Billy Goat" has been claimed to go since thier last world series win, however, it was in fact started in the last time they've been in a world series, What was the year of the Cubs last World Series? and Who did they lose to?

He is the Gridiron Gang leader...you'd think he knows his stuff.

But I'm sure it was 1945. Neph got it right.

So... being the gridiron gang leader means nothing. It's just the fact that he assumed he was right and posted a new question that makes me suspicious.

wtf? If your sole contribution to this thread is going to be accusations of cheating, then please take your business elsewhere. Cheesemore knows his stuff. Just because you've never even heard of George Blanda (or Derrick Thomas, for that matter), doesn't mean others had to look it up.

GFY

Actually, i think it might have been the senators the cubs lost to in '45. But don't quote me on that.

Hey Misterman10, did you ever think since he tied the record last week, that people would mention he's close to tying George Blanda's int record?since he already broke the TD record, they were waiting for him to break the INT record, and they do mention the current record Holder every once in a while

, and BTW if it's Packer's or Brett Favre trivia, I have a good chance of knowing it, do you know why

? I LIVE IN WISCONSIN it's second nature, we're force fed Brett Favre stuff and Packer stuff (and the commentators just keep bringing up Blanda's name everytime Favre did or didn't almost throw a pick)

Anyway the question I asked is 1/2 right, they did lose to the Tigers, but I don't think it was 1945, but it was close, I belive it happened in 1946, anyway, you're up Nephilim

and Thank you for defending me Greece and Incandenza

It was Blanda, sorry i wasnt here to tell him he was right...

Could have prevented all this arguing...

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 10:21 pm

By all this arguing you mean people telling MM10 he's an idiot?

Pretty much...

I mean its fairly easy to tell when someone looks up an answer, like the recent question about the Panthers backup DT from 'Bama, I would be very suspicious if someone got that, but my question was a very public question at the time...

yes, I think we've established that fact long ago

Now try coming up with something original for once.

Nephilim · Post by **Nephilim** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:08 pm

sweet! i knew it was 1945 (looked it up to be sure, cheese, it was '45), but i just used a little process of elimination and guessed the tigers, can't believe i got that!

ya apparently in game 4 of that series, Billy Sianis, owner of a nearby tavern, bought 2 tickets to the game at Wrigley, one for himself and one for his goat. Cubs owner P.K. Wrigley had Sianis and his goat removed the park after a few innings, and Sianis placed a curse on the Cubbies. they lost the game, the series, and haven't been back to the Fall Classic since. crazy!

i need a trivia book like GK, i'm always having a hard time coming up w/ questions......

so i'm going w/ another homer question i guess: what did the university of alabama football team do on saturday that it hadn't done in almost 6 years?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 4:43 pm

Win?

Oh, wait, no, I've got a better one: gangbang a pre-op tranny?

That;s not what I expected when I scrolled own this page...

But I really have no clue, didnt even hear about the game, but I'll say lose a home game.

boy, that kinda shit may fly out there in california, but we don't swing that way down here. what the hell is wrong with you?

...........and GK's wrong. feel free to check the game score or something......

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 1:04 pm

If it's not the tranny thing, then I don't know. But I do have it on good authority that a tranny was spotted lingering near the home locker room. It might've just been Mike Price in drag, tho.

well that would make sense, last weekend the home locker room was in Mississippi

yes i subscribe to the common folk theory that the neighbors just across the way are hopelessly backward, while we are normal (cf. Kentucky-W. Virginia, Miss.-Alabama)

the answer is: alabama won a game in which it came into the fourth quarter trailing. that's right, the tide had not come back to win the last quarter in almost 6 years.....one of the prime reasons Shula was canned!

incan, step up w/ something here......

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 8:44 pm

Bump for Incan...

in case he doesn't look for a week, I'll ask one
Who was the first NFL player to sign a $100 million Dollar contract?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 10:00 pm

Ah, hadn't checked for a minute. Sorry.

I'll guess.... hmmmmm. Was it McNabb?

misterman10 · Post by **misterman10** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 10:03 pm

Has to be Peyton Manning
or Champ Bailey

You'd think it would be someone like this, but i remember when he signed the deal...

It was Stephen Davis, anyone have that as the person that came to mind?

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 10:11 pm

Im 99.9% sure so ill post a new question.

The unsung heroes of the NFL, the kickers.

Name the last kicker to lead their conference in FGs made in consecutive season.

Hint: He is an active kicker.
