OK, that was funny.

Not sure if anyone was going to get the last three, so:

#2 is John Hurt.

#7 is Charlize Theron.

#9 is Michael Biehn.

Full details here, including #11-15.

Who is the all-time leader in career salary earnings among NFL non-QBs?

EDIT: That's actual money paid. So if Farty Jefferson signs a 6-year, $139 mil contract with a $20 mil signing bonus, he's at $20 million.

I just saw this the other day so i won't answer, but it was surprising.

Larry Fitz?

Darrelle Revis?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:33 am

No on all three. Larry Fitz will be the answer sometime in September.

Suh is 3rd and Revis is 4th. Joe Thomas is 5th.

Peppers?

Peppers is the one. $164 mil.

Just saw this on reddit: How many total touchdown passes do the Denver Broncos have across their 8 Super Bowl appearances?

Pure guess of nine because they used to get rolled over, then Terrell Davis was a dominant force, and they played in an offensively-challenged Super Bowl 50.

Higher.

I should know this. They've been in seven super bowls I think (offhand). I remember one from Elway to Rickey Nattiel for their only touchdown against Washington. And, I remember the bomb from Elway to Rod Smith in their win versus Atlanta. But, I am otherwise honestly drawing a blank. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple, so I'll say four.

Four is correct.

Elway to Vance Johnson vs. the Giants ('87)
Elway to Ricky Nattiel vs. Washington ('88)
Elway to Rod Smith vs. Atlanta ('99)
Manning to Demariyus Thomas vs. Seattle ('14)

9/11 became the greatest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act when it occurred. What held this distinction previously?

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Mar 28, 2019 8:46 am

Antietam?

e: Sorry, saw it said civilian.

The 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire?

ETA: Though I don't think that was a deliberate act.

I would say Pearl Harbor?

I feel like "civilian life" is a clue that it's not as obvious as we might think?

Jonestown?

Was going to be my guess. Guessing either cultists didn't officially change residency or GPJ isn't being that picky?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Mar 28, 2019 8:55 am

OK City bombing would have been my guess, but Im guessing it isn't a terrorist attack.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Mar 28, 2019 8:57 am

It's gotta be Jonestown, right? Unless we're talking in America, so maybe Bleeding Kansas, since that was functionally a riot.

That is correct. Jonestown it is.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Thu Mar 28, 2019 10:02 am

I just looked it up and it would seem that the greatest loss on American soil was the Tulsa race riot of 1921 with 300 deaths.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Mar 28, 2019 10:06 am

I thought of the Tulsa Race Riots (which does not get taught at all here in America). I was just expecting an armed insurrection between pro-slavery and abolitionist forces would've broken 300 deaths.

Ten teams have had 19 or more NCAA men's basketball Consensus First Team All Americans (some players have been multiple selections and would count as may times as they made it). Five of the schools are "blue-bloods" of college basketball: Kansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Duke and UCLA. Name the other five schools.

EDIT: I know UCLA isn't a true blue blood these days, but they have the most titles and would have been a gimme since Walton and Alcindor were probably on the list 6 times total.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:36 am

UConn?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:36 am

Uconn is incorrect.

Tennessee

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:42 am

Michigan and Indiana both incorrect. Tennessee also wrong.

Princeton

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:48 am

Princeton incorrect, though they did have the most Princeton name ever be an All American in 1905 - Oliver deGray Vanderbilt. As well as Hamilton Salmon in 1913.
