Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Hey, back with another one of these. As a reminder, these are from Triple Decker Trivia. Like the above example, each set of 4 answers will have something in common. Then the somethings-in-common will have 1 final something else in common. Here's one I have a few pieces of. I have a faint inkling of a final answer, but let's work through it. Maybe quote this each time and add what you can to the blanks.
A1. What is the informal name of the part of the elbow over which the ulnar nerve passes? _____________
A2. Claire Danes and Jared Leto both got their big break from what ABC teen drama which was canceled after only one season? ______________

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
I have no clue about connections. But I will say that D2 was one of the greatest movies I'd ever seen... on mushrooms. Sober, it doesn't stand up.

I would say groups C and D are the biggest hint toward the final answer, even if you can't reverse engineer the rest.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Probably wrong, but I'll guess Reggie Sanders since he played for like 8 different teams in consecutive seasons.

Only one man was an MVP in both the AFL and the NFL (albeit he won the NFL version when there were two awards given - one per Conference).

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Inspired by yesterday's Lamar Jackson game...
1. Name the only ACTIVE quarterback with 9 or less completions in a game but more fantasy points than Jackson's 23.32 (as scored by profootballreference) (JOSH ALLEN)
2. Two other QBs have had 3 such games in their careers. One is in Canton (FRAN TARKENTON). The other is not, but was born in Nashua, NH. (GREG LANDRY) Who are they?
3. Name the QB who had more fantasy points than Jackson in a 1988 game against the Bears because, despite completing only 6 passes, 4 of them were for touchdowns. (DOUG FLUTIE)
4. Besides Jackson, name the other 3 QBs with 9 or less completions and 100 or more RUSHING yards in the same game. One of them did it twice within 2 months in 1972. (BOBBY DOUGLASS) One of them is from 1951. (TOBIN ROTE) The last is from 2006. (MICHAEL VICK)

4. I'm guessing Vick was the one from 2006. And I'm rather surprised Randall Cunningham didn't do any of the feats you mentioned.

Was the 1972 QB Bobby Douglas of the Bears?

No idea on the specifics, but guessing it's about doing something vs. the Patriots.

They beat the Patriots twice in their careers.
ETA: No, that's wrong. Peyton beat the Patriots more than that, and Eli beat them three times.
