He shoots, he scores! It's the AM Sports Quiz!

@ steve.

i was going off the centrals guys being at the races...

Damn I'm good!


Who is the youngest person to win a Formula 1 race?

lewis hamilton?

lol nah, he played for Carlton and i hated him. Signed with North last week

Nope

fangio?

No

senna?

No

Clue time?

Fernando Alonso

No

Clue: It happened pretty recently.

The answer was Toro Rosso Ferrari's, Sebastian Vettel. He replaced Lewis Hamilton as the youngest winner of a F1 race ever earlier this year by winning the Italian GP.

Someone else can ask one.

Alrighty, I'll take it.

Who are 2 of the top 3 career offenders in tech fouls as a player in the NBA? Bonus point for all 3.

Rasheed Wallace has to be one! Maybe Ron Artest?

Are these all active players or are there retired players in there as well?

If it's the latter I reckon Dennis Rodman is up there.

is this all time or currently?



either way I'll go Jerry Sloan(has over 400) Rasheed Wallace and Magic Johnson

magic? rly? didnt pick him as a player who would get many tech fouls...

i googled and couldnt beleive jerry sloan had 413



i wonder how many the guy in second place has...

yeah he's been coaching a loooooong time. And not sure on Magic, was a bit of a guess, but people forget how intense a player he was. Was always arguing with refs


hurry up Del!!

Was it Sloan who basically shattered an opponents face with a sucker punch?

ha yer, when hen was playing for Chicago-He was a mean sob

Wallace used to be nicknamed 'The Walking Technical Foul' there's no doubt he's in the list.

oh now doubt. Think he got over 40 in a season a while back

Sorry guys, was doing my sleep thing 

Yea, It was current and retired players. One of the names mentioned is correct, but havent seen one of the other two yet

Laimbeer, Thomas? There has to be one of the 'Bad Boys' in there?

Nope. Not one of the bad boys.

Ok, so Racheed was the one mentioned, tops the list and is the only one of the 3 still playing. (yea! another win for the Pistons haha). The other 2 are kinda suprising.


Hint: They both played for the Lakers at the same time...

Kobe? He lead the league last year

Na, he's still playing.


Ok, it went Racheed, Payton, Malone.

Saw it on the telecast the other day and the commentators were even really suprised at the Malone inclusion.


Someone else can take it..

ok ill take it since i am bored at work... who/what/where is animal chin?

The rumoured inventor of skateboarding although the Bones Brigade found on their travels that he is a spirit who represents having fun skating with your friends!

Loved this movie as a kid!

:thumbsup:

Which Aussie legend has won 178 World Titles, 168 Australian Titles and is the first person in sporting history to have won 1000 championships?

Need both his name and his chosen sport.

Troy Baylis on the Bikes?

Nup

Can't remember his name, but that speed wood chopper/lumberjack/whatever the fuck they're called came to mind straight away.

Correct on the sport but no prizes until I see his name.

 David Foster :slayer:

 Pretty sure I am right and I am about to crash out so here is my question :

 Which player (same one) did Shane Warne dismiss for his 150th, 250th and 400th Test Wicket.

 Hint : he is also the player Warne has dismissed most in Tests.

Hmm could it be his bunny Darryl Cullinan. Probably not, as Warne destroyed him mentally very early in the piece and he never recovered.

I'd say Nasser Hussein.

 nope

brian lara?

 nope

jayawerdene?

has to be someone we play a lot, so I'll pick a pom. Remember him getting Stewart out a heap in one particular series.

Alec Stewart?

I remember it being a Pom too cos I reckon it was England when he took his 400th wicket. Having said that I have NFI on Poms that have been around long enough to be the 150th scalp at the earliest.

Darren Gough? Mike Atherton?

 Alec Stewart it is

lol really? cool

Hakeem Olujuwon actually changed his first name a few years into his NBA Career. What was it before the change?

Akeem

He was Prince of Zamunda. He came to America to sow his Royal Oats.

Akeem it was

Speaking of African Princes, there's actually one playing for the Bucks. Luc Richard Mbah a Mouté is a Prince in his native village of Bia Messe

On the whole name tip, what was Mahmood Adbul-Rauf formerly known as? Bonus point for his medical condition.

will never forget "Jackson, 1 second, FOR THE GAAAMMEE!!!!" and him hitting that half court prayer.


So yeah, Chris Jackson but can't remember what the disease was

 Tourettes

Yep, all correct there.

I remember one game where Rodney Rogers hit three 3 pointers in 9 seconds and the bench went crazy. You could see Chris Jackson having a seizure in the corner.

One of you can ask away.

who's got the best record in the NBA right now

Celtics

If it's on winning percentage I'd say the Lakers. They've only lost once.

Yeah Lakers it is

Alrighty.

How many NFL teams reside in the New York state area? Names as well please.

ok there's the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Ummm the Buffalo Bills I'm pretty sure are NY


yeah that's all i got

I reckon that is all of them. Only three I can think of anyway.

Yep good work.

Jay Z part owns which NBA Team

The Brooklyn...sorry...New Jersey Nets.

OK. Followup from my previous NFL question.

Including New York there are several states that harbour multiple NFL teams. Can you give me which ones and if possible the teams.

Houston Oilers, Dallas Cowboys - Texas
San Fransico 49ers, Oakland Raiders, LA Rams - California

That's 3 if you include the aforementioned New York. BTW, FYI the Oilers are now called the Texans, the San Diego Chargers are also a Californian team and the Rams have moved to St. Louis.

There are 4 more. The first letter of these states are P, O, F & M.

Pennsylvania (Sp?) has two. Phili Sea Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sweet. So we have 4 correct now.

New York - New York Giants, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills
California - San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers
Texas - Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans
Pennsylvania - Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles

So that leaves 3.

For the next clue I'll give one team name from each state that remains.

Bengals, Jaguars, Chiefs.

 Epic question

I'm going to add the rest of the team names in each state now.

O = Bengals, Browns.
F = Jaguars, Buccaneers, Dolphins.
M = Chiefs, Rams.

Florida = Bucs,Jags n Dolphins

Ohio = Browns, Bengals

Minnesota - Rams, Cheifs

Oh so close!

Florida and Ohio are right. The last one was Missouri.

DaTBird got 2 right. Headache got 1 right. Underground got 2 right.

DaTBird or Underground can post the next question. First in, gets it!

*phew*

well seeing as im online.

what nfl team in thier debut year  in the 80's never won a game?

They must have played less games then because this season's Detroit Lions could be the first NFL team with an 0-16 record ever.

Chargers?

Nar guess again

1 of the team mentioned in above posts

Philly?

narp

Dolphins?

no but close

I googled the answer dude, it was actually in the 70's not the 80's. I actually considered this team for the answer before too, but now I am ineligible to answer!

haha oops my bad for wrong info

so who's up?

no1 has guessed the right answer yet

haha. oops.

ok clue time then

team wears red

49ers?

pretty sure they wear red...

they do wear red but not the 49ers

Redskins?

nope

ok next clue, they hail from the south.

atlanta falcons?

the buckeneers?

(clearly i have nothin)

Definitely the 76 Buccaneers.

dwayne wade?

who is the current manager of newcastle united football club?

was gonna say Kevin Keegan but that's not right. Irish guy, Kinnear? Can't remember first name sorry

yeah you're right. it's joe kinnear.

who beat this piss out of Oscar De La Hoya last week?

Manny Pacquaio.

Looking like he could be the best pound for pound fighter ever. He's been world champ in 3 different classes now I think.

Real funny after all the Golden Boy signing controversy too, mega grudge match and it was so one sided in the end it's not funny.

De La Hoya is pretty much finished.

De La Hoya took a good old fashion ass kicking. Then, he just stopped. "Yeah nah, that's enough for one night"

Alright sports related video game question.

Give me 5 athletes who have had games named after them including the game title.

Tiger Woods Golf
Wayne Gretzky's Hockey
Rickey Ponting's Cricket
Jordan Vs Bird
Madden NFL

Easy peasy.

cool question though

Name 3 athletes that have released albums

I didn't realise it would be so easy, should have made it 10, I reckon you'd be thinking pretty hard by 7-8.

Shaquille O'Neal
Brett Lee
Ron Artest

Could've just named NBA players TBH, thought I'd throw in Lee for variety.

brett lee has released a single, but has he done an album?

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere he was releasing an album in India after the success of that single.

dunno about Lee but good enough

Sweet.

If I was talking about Hot Sauce or The Professor who would I be referring to, collectively?

And 1 street ball shit?

Yep, that'll do. I was trying to think of the more obscure names but it obviously didn't work lol.

who's the current Heavyweight UFC champion?

brock lesnar?

indeed it is. Nice one

what was brock lesnars finishingmove in the wwe?

he had a couple. The submission was the Brocklock. The other, the f5? his own take on the face buster

back-hand fantail?

F5 is the one i was thinking of so Q is correct

name 3 0f the 6 coaches that have been fired in the NBA this season

 

Isaih Thomas , Reggie Theus , Maurice Cheeks

thomas no, he was fired before season started.

DARN wasn't Eddie Jordan canned too?

certainly was. You're up mate

oki dokie

keeping with the theme of sackings

can you name 3 EPL Managers to be sacked this season?

Hmmm.

Juan De Ramos, Avram Grant (not too sure about this) and whoever was Newcastle's coach?

almost there... a clue a former Man U player was one of them

roy keane

yep.. you may aswell go again

Bugger, only just found this one out last night watching a replay of the Sunderland game...saw some new guy and was like, where's Keane? Then I realised he would've been the other one in this question!

yep Andy Ince was also sacked last week from Blackburn. Like the NBA the hammer seems to come down hard on poor perfomance.

I'll stick with what i know


Who's got the worst record in the NBA right now

Have to be Shaq's hip hop album wouldn't it?

u clearly haven't heard Ron Artest. He makes Shaq sound like Rakim

the guv'na paul ince

OKC Thunder isn't it?

it is

Nice, the Wizards are giving them a run for it though, what a fall from grace for that team...

Who is the coach of Thailand's national football team, who are currently contesting the 1st leg of the ASEAN Cup (aka AFF Suzuki Cup) Final against Vietnam in Bangkok tonight?

well?

Ooh shit it's been a long time hey?

It was Peter Reid, ex-Manchester City, Sunderland and Leeds Utd. manager. I thought for sure that some of the Prem League heads on here would've heard that on their travels but I guess I was mistaken.

They lost by the way, Vietnam won 3-2 aggregate score.



Back to basketball lol.

Which NBA team has the first ever Iranian player in 'The Show' on their roster?

Memphis Grizzlies

Swish.

Go mate.

which Golden State Warriors hasn't played 1 fucking game this year after signing a fucking 66million dollar contract due to falling off a fucking moped?

Monta Ellis (tool)

Which four teams are currently in the Carling Cup semi finals in England?

Derby, Man U, Tottenham and Barnsley.

Yep, go ahead.

tony?

Fucking Shit Hot.

Ooops sorry thought that was a question Chris.

Hmmmm......

Who famously said "Your all a pack of arseholes" ?

Jim Richards

Indeed it was, he was right too.

 

I wish the touring car series was like it used to be. Seriously, who races family sedans?

The V8 supercars is a joke of a series.

Anyway, what was special about the first Australian cricket team to tour England back in 1868?

I think they were all indigenous Australians weren't they?

Pigment challenged.

Yep. All cousins probably.

It was payback for sending Criminals our way.

Isn't that amazing yet there has never been any indigenous players in our national team that I know of in my lifetime! They're all into Aussie Rules now or something...


OK.

A top draft prospect for the NHL's New York Rangers died of a heart attack last year due to suspected doping and the negligence of the medical staff of the team he was playing for at the time.

What nationality was he?

negligence of the medical staff hey....  Ukraine?

Nope.

Swedish?

canadian?

Wow it's been ages, I completely forgot about this question!

He wasn't Swedish or Canadian...should be pretty easy now, there's not too many other big hockey nations left!

 Russian

Poland

American

Stryke has it. No surprise really, that country is a shambles.

 Which Australian cricketer (bastman) made a comeback at the age of 42 against the fierce West Indian bowling attack of the 1970's?

 

Bob Simpson

 Correct!

What major problem did the West Indies team have with there first coloured uniform for World Series Cricket?

they were pink (or peach)

Correct, but what was their problem with it?

with the combo of pink and black they looked like licorice all sorts?


(no idea)

 

Weren't they made of some shit material like velour or something which gave them allergic reactions or overheated or something?

No to both.

Too small for their gangly frames?

The collars were too small?

All I remember about their uniforms are the colours, I think it was to represent coral or something.

I'll give it a few hours then call time on it.

*hint* Buju Banton

homophobes?

Haha

Well it has gone on long enough.

Pink is the colour of Homosexuality in the Carribean so none of the West Indian team were to impressed. Can you imaging the official who went up to Joel Garner, Andy Roberts or Clive Llloyd and said "Alright mate just chuck this pink kit on and get out there and bowl some balls"

Go ahead Kurko

To which great race does the slogan “A challenge for those who go. A dream for those who stay behind.” belong?

Paris to Dakar?

indeedy

What is the nickname for the English football club, Norwich City?

Hmmm I'm trying to remember from when they were in the top flight back in the 80's. Is it the Owls?

Not the owls but it is of an avian persuasion so you are on the right track...

Well after posting this I asked a workmate who as luck would have it is a Norwich City fan. It's the Canaries.

Name 4 members of the Bad Boys.

Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Bill Lambier
Dennis Rodman

You can have it but I am disappointed you didn't list Rick Mahorn.

 

What a gay name for a football club

lol my bad

Who's the current GM of the NY Knicks? (who's doing an amazing job i must say. How he managed to unload both Malik Rose AND Jerome James in the same week is beyond me)

Donnie Walsh isn't it?

correct

Hahaha how freakin bad are the Knicks. They were even ripping on them in the Family Guy episode I watched last night.

they're ok now because of Walsh. In 2 years time, they'll most likely be dominant


Lebron AND Bosh anyone?

Which English football club did iconic Australian beer brand, Foster's, sign a sponsorship deal with from 1988-1993? At the time it was the most lucrative sponsorship ever given to an English football club.

PS. Their nickname is The Canaries.

Ooo Deja Vu.

Norwich City maybe?

Hahaha, correct!

Which Australian batsman made two test centuries at a younger age than Phil Hughes?

Ricky Ponting?

No

 Doug Walters?

was someone headley the paper was saying this morning. no idea though and my memory in the morning's isn't exactly amazing.

Yep that's the one.

 Name the last 4 Australian batsmen to make a century in their debut test.

 

 anyone?

I can't think of the last four, that's really stretching it. But here, I think, is four.

 

Marcus North
Phil Jacques
Mark Waugh
Kepler Wessels

 That's 2 of the ones I was after

did clarke get one?

 Thats 3. There's one between Waugh & Clarke.

Ahh that helps. Greg Blewett I think.

 Thats it. You're up.

Who was the first Aboriginal player to win the Norm Smith Medal?

 Michael Long?

No and No

Nicky Winmar or Greg Williams?

No and No again.

It was in the 80's

Polly Farmer?

And it was Rioli

It was indeed, in a losing side.

What were Essendon known as before they called themselves The Bombers?

hmmm, was it The Same Olds? Can't remember if that was before Essendon, or the Bombers

Nope.

A clue is it was rather racist.

I was sure he had some native blood in him? He certainly looked it!



Blackies?

Im curious now. Just read all of the wiki page. The Same Olds are mentioned-nothing else

The Same Olds was a name used for them but there was another name they were called back in the day.

Not the blackies put along those lines.

wow, what a name hahaha

The Coons?

Again, right direction - wrong answer.

By the way, it's a 3 word answer.

The Black Bombers?

None of those words are correct.

Think racist mixed with a horror film. It's actually very difficult to believe they were actually called this but the world was a different place back then I guess.

Al Jolson Minstrels

The Blackulas?

no one's going to get it.

true. It's the blood stained niggers.

Ask away someone.

haha ahhh, love it

Who holds the AFL record for most possessions in a game (bonus points for how many)

it's greg williams i'm pretty sure from the year he won the brownlow and got over 100 of them in 3 games.

i'll have a stab and say 45...

yeah Diesel with a lazy 53 touches

could play

You can't be serious...dayyyyyumm!



Told ya he had some indig blood in him...

who is the lakers all time greatest scorer?

hmmmm, would've said Kareem, but of course he didn't play there his whole career


so Jerry West

Reckon you're right.

u know you can play when the league bases it's logo on you

Mr Clutch ain't a bad nickname to have in the NBA either!

I reckon it's West as well but just for argument's sake Kobe would have to be getting up there surely...

oh yer definitely

jerry west it was. you're up quaz.

Carlton had 4 debutantes play last night. Who were they?

robinson, jacobs, garlett and joseph i believe.

all played pretty well too.

fk i love Robinson. The way he goes about it is awesome. We got an absolute steal there

hello new desktop!

lol. yeah pretty glad i have him in my team tbh.


who won last years magarey medal?

whats that odd shaped thing coming out the bottom of his shorts? lol

lmao

well he is a ranga, so it's probably his length

(and trust you to spot that hah!)

http://www.lakersuniverse.com/records/season_points_careertotal.htm

This is a season old but you can bet Kobe will be on top by the end if he keeps up 2000+ point seasons as per norm.

not really sure what you were going for there, but anyway.....\



Think it was Crane last year yer?

ok checked and yes it was


It's widely known that John Stockton is the NBA's all time leading assist man-who's second?

Good question.

It's Mark Jackson I think?

 Yeah they were talking about it today. He would have to be first in turnovers as well wouldn't he

lol Jackson was a fkn good pg

and yeah, it was him

Nice.

Seeing as it's March Madness atm, one of the greatest NCAA title games was in 1984 featuring the epic battle of the dominant centres, Akeem (no H yet) Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing.

 Draft day trade with Seattle after they picked him?

 For someone really lame as well

yeah I'll take that

The Sonics took him at 5 and the Bulls took Olden Polynice at 8


lol awful trade

Only thing memorable about him was his name! I remember everyone chuckling about it back in the day when getting his basketball card.

Only topped by the immortal Pooh Richardson!

 It was all about Dwayne Schnitizus imo

 Scottie Pippen has played in more post season games than all but two players, who are they?

shit no idea

Is one Kareem?

 
 Thats one.

Bird?

 Nup

bill russell?

the man has 11 rings, thats a lot of post season...

Was gonna say Tim Duncan but thinking someone much older that's played a ton of seasons

Rockets, Spurs, lakers......Robert Horry?

karl malone payed a bunch of playoffs but never won anything

 Robert Horry.

cool, was thinking him or Shaq

ok most know Jordan holds the record for playoff PPG average. He's second?

wade? bryant?

no and no:)

Iverson?

From memory he's had some fkn high scoring games in the playoffs.

nice!

Iverson it is

Thought it could be purely cos he always scored highly, but wouldn't have played all that many playoff games in his career.

Ok, still with NBA playoffs. Who is the all time steals leader?

Stockton?

Nope.

It surprised me when I saw who it was.

Jordan?

Getting warmer. Jordan was 2nd on the list.

 Pippen?

Yep, with 395 in total.

 Who is the current holder of the womens 100m sprint record?

that black chick with the hair

It's an American and she's held it since the late 80's but I can't remember her name

Flo-Jo?

 Bingo

Dang.

oh, sweet. Cheers Coutz;)



which NBA player just over took Magic Johnson on all time leader list for assists

Probably Jason Kidd, he had a monster game against Phoenix apparently...haven't read the recap yet I'm sure that will mention it if I'm right...

Kidd it was

All these niggas know the time, when I come through I shine with these genuine rhymes?

In the late '80s/early '90s the Oakland Athletics had a famous duo of big hitters who were known as The Bash Brothers (coincidentally both have been since found guilty of juicing hard during their careers).

Who were they?

Jose Canseco was one.

He was.

The other guy broke the single season home run record a few years back, which was subsequently broken a few seasons later by another juicehead, Barry Bonds.

Mark Mcguire?

You and T-Bird can fight it out.

Well I am online now, so in the spirit of keeping things moving...........

Which silver haired spin bowler spun Australia to victory against the West Indies in 1985 at the ripe old age of 38 with a 10 wicket match haul?

Peter Taylor?

Nope, he was a Ginger.

was it Keppler Wessels?

No, but Kepler did make a hundred in the same game.

The cricket guru I work with says it was Bob 'Dutchy' Holland.

He is indeed a Guru.

Correct.

Give me 5 insect/arachnid related sports team names.

OK. so we have:

New Orleans Hornets
SA Redbacks
Northern Bullants
London Wasps

Pretty good, my question factored in two others to just squeeze the 5 in, I didn't know about the rugby team so there is more!

There is a team that playings the Swiss football league called Grasshopper-Club Zurich and the other one is in the VFL: the Casey Scorpions.

I reckon Chris can take it with 2...

sensational.

The Warriors

Total guess here: 4.

PS. Little known fact - he coached me in under-12 state footy!

Great coach (I still hate Port - oh how we had fun about that back then).

Yep. 4 it is over 451 game career.

Greatest player ever to play the game imo.

Steve Kerr, with the Bulls and the Spurs.

 You're up Glock 9mm

Excellent.

In the biggest upset of the current NHL Stanley Cup playoffs the 8th seed Anaheim Ducks knocked off the top seed in the Western Conference first round.

Who was the top seed?

This has gone on long enough - I guess no one likes hockey here.

San Jose Sharks were the top seed in the West.


New question:

Machida=Beast!

Such an unusual style for MMA but deadly. Wicked to see a karate dude wreak havoc though. Different

Correct.

Yeh he is different.. Smashed Rashad

who's ranked the best pound for pound UFC fighter in the world right now?

Good luck with that

Would like see him and GSP throw down though.

Anyway

Name the last 3 AFL teams to beat Geelong.

Alright it's been a month so fuck it, I've got a good question...

What is the most travelled sports team in the world?

PS. I reckon the answer might surprise a few people...

Assuming we are regarding them as a sports team in the conventional sense, and not an entertainment vehicle, it would have to be the Harlem Globetrotters.

You are spot on. They are regarded as a professional team by the way and they started out playing in the ABA or whatever it was at the time. Apparently every game they play is a 'real' game and they only showboat when it's appropriate. They've held a couple of the longest winning streaks in sports over the years too.

Having seen them play a couple of times I'm gonna have to call bullshit on the "real" game comment.

"JUST TAKE THE BALL!!! HE'S SPINNING IT ON HIS FINGER!"

Due to the fact that I can't think of a question, I am going to post my question in the form of a rant. Which fucking NFL (American Football/Gridiron) team this week reacted to its best wide receiver telling the press that he really wants to leave; that he isn't happy; and a whole list of other whiney girl having her first period crap, by offering a more expensive contract and attempting to give him a big fat sloppy hug? Bonus points for being able to explain what is wrong with such servile obsequiousness in a year when they really should be fucking rebuilding as they aren't going to win shit?

"So let me get this straight - you took all the money you made franchising your name and bet it AGAINST the Harlem Globetrotters?"

"I thought the Generals were due! Besides, that game was rigged, they were using a freakin ladder!"

also for the nfl question. is it green bay?

No. Anyone who remembers the jersey I used to wear so much the blue had become seriously sun damaged, it's that team. Had Davis on the back.

 Dallas?

 I was going to guess Dallas anyway but i cant remember what jersey you used to wear, I know it went purple.

Not Dallas. In the right section of the Alphabet though.

Denver Broncos?

Correct.

Stay on the US sporting tip, which team won the 2008 World Series (Major Leage Baseball championship). 

Denver Broncos?

 

Washington Generals

Yankees or Redsox

nope, nope and nope.  Correct side of the US though

In a first, and likely last, I can actually answer two successive questions in the sports quiz. It was the Phillies and they broke the curse of Billy Penn in doing so.

The Curse of Billy Penn refers to a recent history of Philly based sports teams failing to win championships. Which year was the last time a major Philadelphian sports side won a national championship prior to the breaking of the curse?

Probably the NBA's 76ers in 1983 (I think) with the stacked team of Dr. J, Moses Malone, etc.

There's a little birdie in my head telling me it may have been the Eagles more recently though, with McNabb as QB however I'm also thinking they made it to the Super Bowl but lost.

1983 it was. I believe the Eagles made 3 consecutive NFC Championship games and then a Superbowl with no success at the beginning of this century.

Sweet.

Speaking of Philadelphia and sports, there is a statue of which sporting icon displayed near the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art?

Gonna take a stab and go with Julius "Dr J" Erving.

You've been knocked out with that guess mate...

  nice hint

 Rocky Balboa

Yeah it was probably too soon with the clue bit I couldn't resist! Those steps are also known as 'The Rocky Steps' btw.

hopefully it stays that way

who is the number 1 golfer in the world right now?

It's still Tiger I think.

Noddy is probably right but in case he isn't maybe Phil Mickelson?

tiger it was. josh, you're up.

you know you're one dominant mother fucker when you can not play a round for near 12 months to recover from a sex addiction, and still come back #1

Hell yeah!

I'm still hoping his career wasn't derailed enough to wreck his chances at beating The Golden Bear's records.

Who was the last Aussie to be F1 world champion?

I reckon it was Alan Jones in 1980.

brabham?

Yep.

What sports does the oldest member of Britain's Commonwealth Games team play?

I have no idea, but the obvious guess for me is lawn bowls.

Lol yep. I saw it on the BBC News the other night. He was 74 IIRC!

He's going to be in a record 8th Games and he's still winning golds and silvers...

Headache?

New one then:

If its not lee westwood it should be.

That's the one! He knocked Tiger off his 5 year reign.

is westwood english, american or canadian?

I think he's a Brit?

correct
