infrared41 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Fire up the way-back machine and get ready for another season of CCSLC's "other" annual Super Bowl trivia thread; Infrared41's Who Am I? © We've had an influx of rookies since last season so I'll reset how it works. Each player will be from the roster of a Super Bowl participant. The player won't be someone who was third on the depth chart that we've never heard of. More likely than not, the player will be from a team from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. It never hurts to pay particular attention to how the clues are worded. Here is our first player. 1. I attended "The U" before it was known as "The U."2. I have one Super Bowl ring but I played in two Super Bowls. 3. I played a big roll in one of the most famous plays in NFL history. This play resulted in an NFL rule change.4. I currently co-host the post game radio show for an NFL team but it is not the team I played for.5. I am a member of an ethnic hall of fame. Who am I?

infrared41 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pete BanaszakDamn Francis. We're you reading my mind or something? That may be the fastest anyone has ever gotten one of these.

sc49erfan15 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good one - the "big roll" gave it away though. I didn't get the player immediately, but 30 seconds of researching players involved in the Holy Roller would have. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 OK, obviously the first one was easier than I thought it would be. Let's try to make this next one more difficult...hopefully.1. When it comes to college football, infrared and I have something in common. We share the same arch-rival.2. My most memorable game didn't even count. But it was a very important game. Ask Lamar Hunt. 3. I played on two Super Bowl teams and I have one Super Bowl ring.4. I was a second round draft pick. Twice. 5. These days I'm probably better known in the town I played in for a sport outside of football. Bonus: Can you name it?OK this one may be too tough. Here are a couple bonus clues:6. I was considered the AFL "prototype" at my position.7. While I only played for one franchise my entire career, I did play for two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Damn, I've got nothing. At least the first one had the clue of being from Miami to go on.You gotta pay close attention to the clues. One of them is a dead giveaway. Think old school. And how is it that a player can be drafted in the second round twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got nothing...A player that went to Michigan State or Notre Dame, played in an AFL-NFL exhibition, was drafted by the AFL and NFL in the 2nd round. He had to be a Texan/Chief because no other former AFL team played in two Super Bowls and only won 1.I looked up each AFL Draft and nothing fits. This is a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Fred Arbanas?illwauk for the win. It is indeed Fred Arbanas.Attended Michigan State so he and I share Michigan as an arch-rival. Arbanas says his most memorable game was the 66-24 beating the Chiefs put on the Bears in an exhibition game in 1967, the season following K.C.'s loss in Super Bowl I. Lamar Hunt said he felt the game was his most memorable as well. Played in both Super Bowl I and Super Bowl IV. Was a second round pick for St. Louis in 1961 and the Dallas Texans in 1962. Has a golf course named after him in K.C. and serves on the Jackson County legislature in K.C. Was considered the "prototypical" AFL tight end. Played for the Texans/Chiefs his entire career. I really thought the most memorable game that didn't count was a dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 1. I am one of the few members of an NFL 20-20 club.2. I have two Super Bowl rings. Based on where they're at today, you'll be really surprised to see one of the teams we beat in one of those conference championship games. 3. Snow made me famous. Who am I?

Who am I?You are Wilber Marshall.Jigga for the win. Wilber Marshall it is. Marshall is one of the few players in NFL history to have over 20 sacks and 20 interceptions. He got SB rings with the '85 Bears and '91 Redskins. The "surprising" team is the Detroit Lions who Washington beat 41-10 in the NFC title game. In the '85 NFC Championship it started snowing at the start of the 4th quarter, the Chicago fans went nuts, and this happened.... If only NFL football could be as good in real life as it is through the lens of NFL Films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
