I don't know why you waste your time taking a quiz that you know ahead of time that you don't know the answers to. I haven't even tried taking any of the European football club quizzes, because I know it's going to be 5-10 minutes of me just typing in random names. What's the point?

I would've gotten Yary if the Vikings had been included in the clue. That would've been a slam dunk. I think providing the NFL team that drafted the player would detract from this quiz. As it is, you actually have to know your stuff. Quizzes shouldn't just be free 5-point sessions, IMO. I wish the approach here, in fact, was that scoring 5 points should be rare. Reserved for only those who REALLY know the topic, including really obscure facts.

Fizzure's right, the way major sports teams in the US and Canada (and maybe other places, too) choose their players is an interesting process. Each year the teams take turns choosing players from a pool, usually from college or high school players who have just become eligible for the draft. Scouts from teams watch the players they are interested in and know who they want when the rounds begin. Usually the worst teams get first pick in an attempt to keep the playing field more even. The top draft picks get the highest signing bonuses, sometimes receiving millions of dollars. We have a relative who was a third-round MLB pick and he received over half a million.

Irving Fryar was paid $10,000 to throw the Jan. 1984 Orange Bowl. There's a reason that previously-invincible Nebraska was left with having to attempt a 2-point conversion in the final minute vs. Miami, before losing, 31-30, costing Tom Osborne what would have been his first National Championship. If you doubt it for a minute, re-watch the game and keep your eye on Fryar. Also watch how, on several critical plays, certain Hurricanes' players know which way the play is going before the ball is even snapped.

Well, at least he stayed out of trouble after his playing days. Oh, wait. That's right, he went to prison in 2015 for a mortgage scam he ran with his mother.

As a Bengals fan, I'd like to observe a moment of silence for Joe Burrow's NFL career in Cincinnati......

Poor guy. At least there's always retirement to look forward to.

I'm predicting success. Watching him in the college football playoffs was a revelation. It was the best performance by a college quarterback I have ever seen.

Now if he had been drafted by the Browns...
DonTheLamplighter

I agree. He's the best I saw coming out of college since Peyton Manning. But an elite QB alone is no guarantee of success. I will be pleasantly surprised if the Bengals' organization can figure out how to surround Burrow with enough talent to keep him alive and give the team a legit shot at another Super Bowl appearance.

This has been a fun last couple of seasons. If they can plug in the right pieces (better protection for Burrow; more pressure on opposing QBs; a RB that doesn't punch women in the face and point guns at them in traffic), this could finally be their year. Even if they don't win it all, it's just nice to finally have reaching the Super Bowl as a realistic goal.

CMU beat Oklahoma State, who emerged victorious over Notre Dame, who has a win over Clemson, who has beaten Alabama. I'm no mathematician, but the transitive property proves that the Chips > the Crimson Tide.

Didn't feel like anything was off. The hardcore draftniks know you update these in a timely fashion. Probably the first fifty people who took this after the first round of the draft scored 100%.
