Rules:

(1) No looking up answers
(2) guess as much as you want
(3) If you get the question right, then you ask the next question

Question 1:

Which NFL team has gone the longest without appearing in a Conference Championship game (note: Houston Texans do not count for this question. They have not appeared in any, but they have not been around long enough to have gone the longest without appearing)?

Lathum · 02-11-2010, 09:56 AM

Browns?

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 09:58 AM

Detroit Lions

Dr. Sak · 02-11-2010, 09:58 AM

Detroit Lions

albionmoonlight · 02-11-2010, 09:59 AM

No on Browns and Lions.

molson · 02-11-2010, 10:00 AM

I think the Lions got there once with Sanders. The Browns haven't gotten there since the mid-80s.

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:00 AM

Atlanta Falcons

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:00 AM

No not Atlanta. Shit.

albionmoonlight · 02-11-2010, 10:00 AM

no on Falcons

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:01 AM

Kansas City Chiefs

Are we allowed to guess again?

albionmoonlight · 02-11-2010, 10:01 AM

No on Chiefs.

And guess as much as you want.

molson · 02-11-2010, 10:02 AM

Bengals?

Dr. Sak · 02-11-2010, 10:02 AM

Miami

albionmoonlight · 02-11-2010, 10:02 AM

Bengals it is. Last appearance in 1988. Browns got there in 1989.

Molson is up.

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:02 AM

Miami Dolphins

albionmoonlight · 02-11-2010, 10:03 AM

dola--Lions got there in 1991.

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:03 AM

Damn. I almost guessed Bengals before Chiefs.

ISiddiqui · 02-11-2010, 10:05 AM

Miami Dolphins?

MikeVic · 02-11-2010, 10:13 AM

Saints?

molson · 02-11-2010, 10:18 AM

Question 2:

After the Lakers and Celtics, which NBA franchise has the higest all-time regular season W/L %.

(A franchise's W/L record includes all previous incarnations of the franchise, whether they relocated, or played in the ABA or BAA)

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:19 AM

Utah Jazz

molson · 02-11-2010, 10:19 AM

Not the Jazz

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:20 AM

San Antonio Spurs

MikeVic · 02-11-2010, 10:20 AM

Rockets.

molson · 02-11-2010, 10:21 AM

Spurs are correct - spleen1015 wins.

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:21 AM

2 teams that have seemed to be good for as long as I can remember.

spleen1015 · 02-11-2010, 10:22 AM

Here we go....

Name the only player in MLB history to have the same batting average, number of HRs and number of RBIs 2 years in a row.

MikeVic · 02-11-2010, 10:23 AM

Wade Boggs.

I think we might need some hints on this one.

Me. .000, 0, and 0.

agreed

lighthousekeeper · 02-11-2010, 10:37 AM

or just go with phone book approach:

David Aardsma?
Tommie Aaron?
Hank Aaron?
Cap Anson?

I. J. Reilly · 02-11-2010, 10:40 AM

Can we go with a team approach? I know the team, position and era; but am completely blanking on the name.

How the hell do you know the team?!

Logan · 02-11-2010, 10:43 AM

My favorite types of questions are ones that require some thinking as opposed to just a fact that you either know or don't. Like the 8 ways for a batter to reach first base, the 4 colleges that are named after a color, etc.

Obviously not smart enough!

Pumpy Tudors · 02-11-2010, 10:45 AM

I'm going to just start typing names into baseball-reference.com and see if I stumble across it. It would feel like a huge accomplishment if I found it that way.

This could literally be any player in the history of baseball.
