Thank you for explaining the math.

The US Interstate system designates interstates that run east/west to end in an even number and north/south in an odd number and further designates “major” interstates running east/west to end in 0 and north/south to end in 5.

So that said which are the only two of the continental US states to NOT have an interstate ending in 0 or 5 run in/through them?

Rhode Island and Hawaii?

No and no. Only referring to states in continental US.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Sun Dec 29, 2024 6:46 pm

VT is one of them. I’d say NH too but 95 clips the SE portion of the state.

It’s not so much about explaining the math as it was explaining the scoring breakdown. But nevertheless, I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!

Vermont has to be one. For the other….West Virginia?

Post by **brian** » Sun Dec 29, 2024 6:50 pm

Vermont is one yes. Other not been guessed yet.

70 goes through WV.

The northernmost ‘0’ interstate is 90 (and that’s SD). Pretty sure ND’s E/W interstate is 94. So, yeah. ND.

Post by **brian** » Sun Dec 29, 2024 7:35 pm

North Dakota is the other one, yes.

Which two members of the History Channel's top 40 most influential people of all time were born on the same exact day.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon Dec 30, 2024 11:43 am

Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin.

Or George W. Bush and Sylvester Stallone.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Mon Dec 30, 2024 11:48 am

I was going to go with our 2nd and 3rd presidents, but they died on the same day.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Mon Dec 30, 2024 12:14 pm

Christina Ricci and Gucci Mane

Correct!

Three times that rookies on the same team have gained over 1,000 yards from scrimmage. This year, 2006, and 1960 (I don't expect anyone to get that).

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Jan 02, 2025 3:43 pm

2006 Reggie Bush and Marques Colston for the Saints. (And Colston was listed as a TE in fantasy that year.)

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Thu Jan 02, 2025 4:00 pm

Nabers and Tracy

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu Jan 02, 2025 4:11 pm

Yup.

The other one is Abner Haynes and Johnny Robinson on the Dallas Texans.

Oddly, Robinson was moved from offense (halfback/flanker) to defense after his second pro season. He then became a HoF safety.

Three NFL coaches not to win a playoff game for 8 seasons and keep their job:

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 9:54 am

I'll guess Chuck Noll because the Steelers really fell off the map right after his last SB

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 10:11 am

I feel like Shula had a crazy run like this before winning a SB.

GoodKarma · Post by **GoodKarma** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 10:11 am

Marvin Lewis

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 10:50 am

I've heard this stat mentioned multiple times about Tomlin since Saturday.

He was so obviously one I didn't bother thinking about the others, but it would be hilarious if they're all steelers' coaches.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 12:02 pm

Mike and Marvin are correct.

Noll had a couple wins in the 80's.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 12:06 pm

George Halas? Guy coached for decades.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 12:23 pm

I am sorry...I thought it was Marty but it's not.

Shula is correct and there is one more, so four total.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 2:18 pm

Wayne Fontes?

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Wed Jan 15, 2025 2:59 pm

No. This guy actually went 11 seasons and he's kind of like a meme for it.

The only coaches I can think of that had longevity with mediocre teams that haven't been mentioned are Jeff Fisher and Jim Mora, but surely they both won a playoff game in their stretches.

Yeah it's Mora. 0-6 in 11 years with Saints and 4 years with Colts.

Fisher was the coach for the Music City Miracle, I believe.
