Flutie or Moon get a SB run???

No - but they were 2 of the best ever in the CFL. Moon played 5 years in Edmonton, then a long career in the NFL.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Doug Flutie and Doug Robinson?

Boomer Elway? :lol:

Flutie - no SB appearance - won some Grey Cups though

Doug Robinson? - you mean Doug Williams, who torched the Broncos in the 88 or 89 SB, playing for the Redskins? Never played CFL.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Come on guys. 2 of them are named Joe, the other played 1 SB for the LA Rams, then went to Montreal a couple of years later.

 

[SHAGMOP]

Joe Theismann, Joe Montana and Vince Ferragamo?

 

[CanadianSteve]

Joe Theismann, Joe Montana and Vince Ferragamo?

Theisman - yes - played for the Toronto Argonauts, led them to a Grey Cup appearance in 1971

Montana - no - played for the 49ers and Chiefs only

Ferragamo - yes - went to Montreal in the early 80s after playing for the Rams in the SB. I think he went back to the NFL later but never did much again.

One more quarterback named Joe, not Joe Namath though. The one I'm thinking of played in 1 SB and lost.

Kapp?

 

[eelegant]

Joe ?????? :?

I'll have to think. And that hurts.

But I'll have to agree with Cupid

 

[CanadianSteve]

Yes, Joe Kapp. Led the Vikings to SB4, lost to the Chiefs. It was the last SB between the AFL and the NFL, with the upstart AFL winning the 3rd and 4th.

Kapp had played several years for the B.C. Lions of the CFL. He was a big strong QB, a real leader. He didn't have a classic arm, his passes sometimes travelled end over end, but he had a great season that year until the SB.

Who are the only 4 Hall of Famers who played Major League Baseball?

And for a bonus point.

In 1910, a football team was penalized 15 yards for an incomplete forward pass.
True or False?

 

[CanadianSteve]

George Halas?

I don't think Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders are NFL Hall of Famers, but they played MLB. So did safety Brian jordan, but he is either still active in the NFL or not Hall of Fame material, though a very good player.

 

[SHAGMOP]

well i'll take a wild guess and say true to the bonus question. do you get penalised for a forward pass in front of the line of scrimage even if its incomplete?

 

[sunny]

Yes you do- you are not allowed to throw a foward pass in front of the line of scrimmage.

As for the 1910 question, I would hazard a guees and say 'yes'- those were the ol' flying wedge days.
