Knowledge Bowl
Pass time during the pregame marathon by testing your friends with the ultimate Super Bowl quiz! Charge $10 an entry and the winner takes home the pot!
1. Which of the following did not perform at a Super Bowl?
A. The Rockettes
B. Jim Belushi
C. Brian Boitano
D. Mary-Chapin Carpenter
E. Carol Channing
F. Neil Diamond
G. Jewel
H. Cheryl Ladd
I. Barry Manilow
J. Doc Severinsen
K. Andy Williams
L. Scott Norwood
(Alas, all have performed in a Super Bowl. Except of course, for Scott Norwood.)
2. At what other sporting venues did these Super Bowl XXXVI performers also appear this year?
A. U2
B. Paul McCartney
C. Mariah Carey
(U2 could be heard at halftime of an NBA final game last spring, McCartney could be seen in a box seat at New York Yankees playoffs games last fall and Carey can still be found stalking Derek Jeter's apartment.)
3. Identify the folded teams from their respective football leagues:
A. Pittsburgh Maulers
B. Orlando Renegades
C. Orlando Rage
D. Massachusetts Marauders
E. Iowa Barnstormers
F. Birmingham Vulcans
F. Birmingham Thunderbolts
G. Houston ThunderBears
H. Portland Thunder
(The Renegades and Maulers played in the USFL; the Thunderbolts and Rage played in the XFL; the Thunder and Vulcans played in the World Football League; the Marauders, ThunderBears and Barnstormers -- Kurt Warner's old team -- played in the Arena League.)
4. Name the teams that played in the following Super Bowls:
A. "Black Sunday"
B. "Heaven Can Wait"
C. "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"
D. "Two Minute Warning"
(A. Steelers and Cowboys; B. Rams and Steelers; C. Dolphins and Eagles; D. Trick question -- that game was just a playoff.)
5. Who plays in the Super Bowl in Tom Clancy's bestseller, "The Sum of All Fears"?
(San Diego and Minnesota. Leading the Chargers, the Vikings are headed toward their first Super Bowl victory when a terrorist group detonates a nuclear bomb at the stadium. When Clancy later attempted to buy the Vikings, he said, "Nothing personal. Only a coincidence." But the NFL rejected his bid anyway.
(The movie version is set for release this summer with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan, but the teams have supposedly been changed to the Chicago Rockets and Alabama Gators. The game supposedly takes place in Baltimore but filming was in Montreal with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts playing the roles.)
6. Just how long was Doug Williams a black quarterback, anyway?
(Williams played four years for Grambling, three years in the USFL and nine years in the NFL. He was black for all of them.)
Good luck, enjoy the game and remember -- Kool-Aid goes great with Smirnoff!
