John Wayne Parr...There was a fairly lengthy special on Fox about him a few weeks ago. Seems like a nice guy as well. Down to earth and modest, which is unusual out of a fighter.

He is a hell of a nice guy and an amazing fighter. tuff as fuck
I could be totally wrong but that name pops into my mind. Maybe it's because my mind is generally in the sewer......
Ralph "Zip Zap" Sewer: Debuting in 1969 and playing his final match in 1990 aged 38, Sewer became not only the only man to have played in the SANFL in four different decades but also the only grandfather. His 325 games was a club record.

I know this because you asked this question on the very first page of this thread Tony! I believe Quazza answered it correctly. I'm not gonna say the answer though because I can't think of a decent question to ask atm.
Which NFL team has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history?
Green Bay have the most championship wins in history from pre merger days til now. It has only been called the superbowl for 42 years, and in that time Dallas, Pittsburgh and San Francisco have each won 5. I believe Green Bay have only won 3, could be 4, but I can only remember that they won the first 2 and one in 97. Just thought I'd set the record straight.

Oops. Well i got told. I did mean most championships...
And Chris you are correct, the Mavs drafted Kidd then sent him off to Phoenix. Sucked in!

Wicked. Had to rack my brain, I kept on getting 'He Got Game' and 'Black and White' mixing up my thought process. Easy one... and if someone can confirm you're correct you can go and ask a question... I'll be at work for the next 10 or so hours! Who finished bottom of the AFL ladder last year?

I agree.
I thought a tennis question would be nice for a change and I remembered this fact from skimming a news article the other day when he crashed out of the Open yet again.

My guess would be Kevin Brooks, he used to get a lot of boards and points, that's 2/3 of the way there...and just for someone different to add to the list of candidates!

I know ken farmer kicked 100 goals plus 10 years in a row for us. I'll go with him out of loyalty
thats it dude.
In 1929 the 18 year old Farmer debuted in the North Adelaide League side. Playing at full-forward in his first season he kicked an impressive 62 goals in only 14 games. In 1930 he became the first SANFL player to kick over a 100 goals in a season. He repeated this feat for the next ten seasons.

Wasn't Its a Knock Out, it was some other short lived show where 2 families went up against each other. And I reckon camera's crossed to their houses or their streets or something. Fuck, what was the name of it.....
Was it the Main Event? Was a fucking shit show whatever it was.
think it was the rubber stake kinda thingys on the side of the boot to aid in curving the ball
Yeah it was something to enchance the curve of the strike definitely...
Next question:
While not exactly 'sports' I'm throwing my hat in the ring here and putting a question forward concerning 'armchair sports' that's right, video games are sports now too!
What unique prize did the winner of 1997's iD's Software's Quake 'Red Annihilation' Tournament win?

Quote from: Wikipedia
In retirement, Johnston had success as a businessman and innovator, designing and creating the prototype for Adidas' Predator football boot, worn by many of the world's top players of both football and rugby including Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Jonny Wilkinson. He later designed another innovative boot called The Pig or, to give them their full title, the Patented Interactive Grip it can come as a 'skin' that can be placed over the toe of existing boot. Getting the first boot off the ground took Johnston 5 years and was initially refused by Adidas, as well as Nike and Reebok. However, Johnston had filmed Franz Beckenbauer using the boots in Germany in snowy conditions, and its increased grip led to Adidas agreeing to the proposal.
Craig also invented the Traxion sole for football boots and the software program the 'Butler,' a device that shows what has been removed from minibars in hotel bedrooms, he is also the creator of a gameshow called 'The Main Event.'

I don't know, they've got a Professional Gaming League in the US now hey, pretty sad, but as I stated to me as soon as there's a professional league made I'll consider it a sport (and don't come back at me with anything about Animal Welfare Leagues or anything including league in the title lol).

It's a particular shade of red and has wheels. Fuck can't be any more obvious than that. I might as well not even asked a question, just trying something different to the usual basketball or football questions...

Alright fuck yas!
The answer was John Carmack's custom Ferrari 328. Not too bad just for winning a video game tourney...that dude has so much cash he's customised many Ferrari's but he's now given up on that to run a private space travel business, no shit, he's actually designed the rockets and the systems etc. and will most probably be the one of the first private companies in space...can an AFL player say they're anywhere near that kind of acclaim? Don't think so...
The only person with a serious attempt at answering was natho and he was pretty close so off ya go...

In the traditional version, each team consisted of about 100 to 1,000 men on a field that stretched from about 500 yards to a couple of miles long. The games lasted from sun up to sun down for two to three days. These games were played to settle inter-tribal disputes, to toughen young warriors in preparation for future combat and to give thanks to the Creator. Often players were gravely injured or even killed.
Lol. Lose a few more brain cells Marrickville Mauler! He's probably only doing it so he can throw the fight to get out of some gang debts or something!
In the same vein, who did Fenech recently (few years back) sign on as a trainer for?

Mr Sheen?
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

i never asked it before but keyser was right with shearer Ian wright did however score 100 goals first for the mighty gunners. Giggs was also first for the red devils.
Consequently Shearer is the top scorer ever in the league with 280+
Posted: 17 Apr 2008, 9:11amSubject: Re: He shoots, he scores! It's the AM Sports Quiz!
Wicked. Which player holds the record for most goals kicked total in the AFL? I won't be home til after 7 tonight, so if you think you're right, get someone to google it for you and continue...
Posted: 17 Apr 2008, 9:43amSubject: Re: He shoots, he scores! It's the AM Sports Quiz!
I'm gonna say you're right with Plugga. Was considering chucking in the VFL with the question, but couldn't be fucked typing three extra letters. You're up Chris!

All good dude. I remember now, you asked a question about who the first Arsenal player to score 100 goals!

I actually remember reading this fact the other day after Kobe dropped 49 on the Nuggets in Game 2 and it was mentioning how he now trails Jordan's record of 40+ point games by x amount. I can't remember the number though but I'll give 8 a bash!
