Some trivia

[stag hunter]

I was on a flight back from Seattle today with nothing to do, so I thought up a few good trivia questions.. Give them a shot without looking up the answers... everyone knows how to use google.

1. During Emmitt's 2 game "holdout" in the '93 season, he was replaced primarily by which two tailbacks? (hint: they shared the same first name)

2. Most people know that during Tony Dorsett's record setting 99 yard TD run the Cowboys only had 10 guys on the field. Who was the player that was missing?

3. What hard hitting former Falcons safety finished his career with the Cowboys, getting a ring and forcing a fumble in the superbowl?

4. After Superbowl XXVII, a shoe commercial aired featuring several Cowboys riding in a car being driven by Jimmy Johnson. What shoe was the commercial for, and what notable hitch-hiker do they pass on the road?

5. Dallas is not the first NFL team to be nicknamed the Cowboys. What other city at one point had a team called the Cowboys?

Just five of them for now.. Some of those are pretty tough, I'd be interested to see who knows them off the top of their head.

Without "cheating"


1. Derrick Lassic?

2. I have no idea.

3. Hmmm... I wanna say James Washington, but that seems too easy. Was it Everett (can't remember his first name).

4. It's right there... just can't remember. Was it Jerry Jones?

5. As far as I know, there was never another "Cowboys" in NFL history. There was once a Dallas Texans (now the Kansas City Cheifs) though. I'm interested in knowing the answer to this one.

3. Not sure.

4. Nike? It was Jerry they passed though.

5. I know the answer, but only because I looked it up so I won't post it.

3. Scott Case.

That sounds right.

[Rack Bauer]

Yep, it is Scott Case. I think I drank too much yesterday. That was an easy one.

[Irving Cowboy]

1. Derrick Lassick and Derrick Gainer

2. Ron Springs... as a matter of fact Tony TOLD him to leave...

3. Scott Case. James Washington came from the Rams in 90 and Thomas Everett from the Steelers in 92.

4. Apex, Jerry Jones. The Cowboys didn't align with Nike until 1995.

5. Damn... got me on that one.

Irving Cowboys gets 1-4 right and Amarillo you got the last one... How cool would it be to hunt down some Kansas City Cowboys merchandise?
