Sportsball 6-18-18
Welcome to this edition of Sportsball. In one of the games I did last year I gave clues for which the answer was also the nickname of a baseball team. This time I used football teams. For one point each, answer each of these clues with the nickname of an NFL team. This and most of the games this time have a two-point bonus question called a Two-point conversion.
1. Since 1971 this group has sold over 150 million albums Eagles
2. When people’s phone batteries are low they need these Chargers
3. Willie Nelson’s heroes have always been them, but he doesn’t want mamas to let their babies grow up to be them Cowboys
4. West Side Story gang Jets
5. People who predict a downturn in the stock market Bears
6. Chestnut, khaki, russet Browns
7. Expensive cars Jaguars, but I also accepted Falcons and Broncos. They are all expensive to me.
8. They come in the mail every month Bills
9. Greek mythology characters Titans
10. They can be black, gray or pink Panthers, but I also accepted Dolphins.
Two-point conversion: Here is a little math problem for you. The final score of Super Bowl LII was 41-33. There were nine touchdowns in the game, but after four of them the conversion attempt failed. There were no successful two-point conversions, no defensive conversions (defense returns conversion attempt for two points) and no safeties.
Based on this information how many field goals were made in the game?
The answer is 5.
Total points 74 (41+33)
Points from touchdowns 54 (9X6)
Points after touchdown 5 (the 5 successful conversions were for one point each)
Points remaining 15 (which must have been scored by field goals)
Field goals made 5 (15/3)
This one was too easy, but I was going more for fun than difficulty. Some of the other games might be a little harder.

(41+33) - (9 X 6 + 5) = 15 / 3 = 5 field goals. Extra credit for showing our work?

8. They come in the mail every month - Bills
9. Greek mythology characters - Titans
10. They can be black, gray or pink - I thought at first this might be Dolphins, but I think the pink is there as a humor clue for Panthers. Panthers, final answer
Two-point conversion: Here is a little math problem for you. The final score of Super Bowl LII was 41-33. There were nine touchdowns in the game, but after four of them the conversion attempt failed. There were no successful two-point conversions, no defensive conversions (defense returns conversion attempt for two points) and no safeties.
Based on this information how many field goals were made in the game?
(41+33) - (9 X 6 + 5) = 15 / 3 = 5 field goals. Extra credit for showing our work?

Re: Sportsball 6-18-18
[spoiler="]Welcome to this edition of Sportsball. In one of the games I did last year I gave clues for which the answer was also the nickname of a baseball team. This time I used football teams. For one point each, answer each of these clues with the nickname of an NFL team. This and most of the games this time have a two-point bonus question called a Two-point conversion.
1. Since 1971 this group has sold over 150 million albums
Eagles
2. When people’s phone batteries are low they need these
Chargers
3. Willie Nelson’s heroes have always been them, but he doesn’t want mamas to let their babies grow up to be them
Cowboys
4. West Side Story gang
Jets (if we were going for NHL teams, we'd use Sharks!)
5. People who predict a downturn in the stock market
Bears
6. Chestnut, khaki, russet
Browns
7. Expensive cars
Jaguars
8. They come in the mail every month
Bills
9. Greek mythology characters
Titans
10. They can be black, gray or pink
Panthers

Nope, because the other gang, "Sharks," would also be valid.littlebeast13 wrote:4. West Side Story gang - Jets (Next year you can do NHL teams and reuse this question)
