Obscure sports trivia

Priest Holmes?

 

Shaun Alexander?

 

I read the question as total yards but looked it up and see he’s not close on either.

 

We have a winner with @da man coming in with Shaun Alexander. A former MVP with 112 touchdowns, he has barely made any rumbles with the Hall.

 

I remembered he had 100 rushing TDs and assumed he had some receiving as well, and I figured that would be enough to top that list.

Not sure why he hasn't appeared on the HOF radar. For a five- or six-year stretch, he was as good as anyone in the league. And, of course, he had that one huge year when he was just unstoppable.

 

He might also still hold the fantasy football one-game points record when he had 5 TDs -- in the first half! -- and ended up with 139 rushing yards on 24 carries with four touchdowns, while adding three catches for 92 yards and another score.

Shaun Alexander’s 5 Touchdowns in One Half is Still an Insane NFL Record

He's still tied for 8th all-time in rushing touchdowns (100) with Marshall Faulk -- more than Barry Sanders and Franco Harris and a whole lot of other HOF RBs who played much longer.

You wouldn't be lowering the standard electing Alexander. He only had five really good seasons -- but man were they really good.

If Seattle had beaten the Steelers in the SB, when he had 95 yards rushing and averaged 4.75 pc, he'd probably have gotten the Terrell Davis treatment and been inducted.

 

Who was the losing pitcher when Doc Ellis threw his famous LSD no-hitter?

 

It’s Dock.

 

Two highland Gaelic ales at dinner….

 

Dave Roberts.
No, not that one.

 

Again. Pro Football Hall of FAME.
Not Pro Football Hall of Pretty Good.

 

What two teams have drafted the most Super Bowl winning quarterbacks?

caveat: I'm counting each QB once regardless of wins. So the Patriots don't get credit for seven for Brady.
