Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What Heisman Trophy winner joined the New Jersey Generals in 1982?

Answer: Herchel Walker

Walker was terribly successful in his rookie pro campaign, racking up over 2300 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns. Unfortunately, he was the only bright spot for the team: the Generals were third from the bottom defensively, and their QBs threw more than twice as many interceptions as touchdown passes.

2. Which team won the inaugural (WLAF) World Bowl?

Answer: London Monarchs

In front of a hometown Wembley Stadium crowd, the Stan Gelbaugh-led Monarchs captured the first-ever WLAF championship. The WLAF would die a few years later, to be reborn as NFL Europe.

3. What team won the inaugural (and only) XFL championship?

Answer: L.A. Xtreme

The 'Million Dollar Game' (being the cash distributed to the victorious players) marked the final broadcast of Vince Macmahon's ill-fated pro football venture.

4. The early 1970s World Football League featured a Canadian team (the Toronto Northmen), which moved to Memphis in 1974 to become the Memphis __________ ?

Answer: Southmen

Former NFL stars Larry Csonka and Paul Warfield signed with the Southmen in an effort to bolster fan support.

5. Which USFL franchise relocated a total of three times in three years?

Answer: Breakers

The Boston Breakers began play in 1983, moved west to New Orleans in 1984, and died in Portland, Oregon in 1985.

6. Former WCW wrestling superstar Bill Goldberg once played professionally for which WLAF team?

Answer: Sacramento Surge

Goldberg was once a fairly promising NFL prospect, but injury stunted his career.

7. Who was the USFL's first (and only) Rookie Of The Year?

Answer: Jim Kelly

Kelly, playing for the Houston Gamblers, was also league MVP in 1984, the only season the USFL proclaimed a rookie of the year.

8. Which former NFL bust was also a bust as an XFL color commentator?

Answer: Brian Bozworth

'The Boz' broke out some of the more inane comments in sports history, making the UPN announce team even more annoying than Jerry Lawler, Jesse Ventura, and Jim Ross on NBC.

9. XFL: what was the real name of the Las Vegas Outlaws' player who wore the jersey name of 'He Hate Me'?

Answer: Rod Smart

Smart's monicker was significantly more interesting than his XFL career.

10. How many points were scored for a World Football League touchdown?

Answer: 6

The WFL Point After Touchdown was scored only by running or passing into the end zone.
