    Does anyone actually know the answer to this 10-point trivia question??

    Something about "If sold, which NFL team would donate some of the proceeds to the VFW?"

    Are you serious??!! That was the 10-point question?? Is that answer common knowledge that has somehow eluded me?

    Let us know if your 10 point question was too tough. I let lou know mine was pretty tough something like who has the most career shutouts in the NHL. Thats probably better for the 60 point group.

    Nuxhall was 16 years old. Wish I had that one.

    Difficulty is always subjective but some are obviously too hard for round 1. We have recategorized the questions mentioned in this thread and appreciate the feedback.

    We'll issue resets at our discretion but it's unfortunately not possible to do so for everyone. If you're stumped, use Google as a life-line. You have a 1 in 4 shot anyways.

    I often find the first the most difficult, since what's common knowledge for US sports fans isn't for me.

    Hey, thanks a bunch, Lou! I did not expect that at all. Sadly, I blew the 60-pt one on my reset... I didn't remember that Mudcat was a moderator. I really thought I had it with Durito.

    Because since they won the super bowl every time they where on tv the ex jock talking heads would yammer on endlessly about how the team is owned by the city of Green Bay
    blah blah blah
    and how they are so very special because they are not owned by the specter of corporate greed
    and how the benevolent residents of green bay love the team
    blah blah blah

    I had one that said what punter signed with the jaguars in 2006. Are you kidding me?! First of all, a punter?! Can you even name two punters in the NFL? Can you name Jax?! What a flipping joke.

    If the packers are sold, the proceeds go to "charitable causes."

    At least that is what it says in the packet of junk they gave me when I bought stock a few months ago...
