LeBron James was named to the All-Star team for the 22nd time, extending his NBA record. To put his record in perspective, no other player has made 20 NBA All-Star teams. Kobe Bryant is third on the list with 18 appearances.

What player made 19 All-Star teams, second only to LeBron James? Is it Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Karl Malone or Bingo Smith?

Generally Speaking

The General Manager of the Minnesota Vikings is out of his job in large part because of the quarterback situation where he let Sam Darnold go after a very successful season in a Vikings uniform, and now Darryl is playing in the Super Bowl with the Seahawks.

Another factor is he was the least experienced general manager hires in recent NFL history. He never played or coached football before. After years as a Wall Street commodities trader, he worked in the NBA before taking an entry-level analytics job with the 49ers in 2013.

Time for the Name Game. Who was the Vikings GM that was just let go after 4 seasons. Is it Adofo Mensah Kwesi, Kwesi Mensah Adofo, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah or Bart Simpson?

Caleb’s Classic TD

Caleb Williams TD on the 4th and 4 scramble from the Rams 14 to keep the Bears season alive will go down as one of the greatest plays in playoff history. He scrambled backwards to the Rams 40 and while jumping up and throwing against his body he heaved the ball 51 yards to lead to a TD that forced overtime. The play by Willian’s is so great you can now buy a photo of it from the NFL Shop.

Even though Caleb threw an interception in OT to help the Rams win, the play by Williams will be remembered by everyone that saw it, including Bears coach Ben Johnson who called it “The Ridiculous” touchdown.

That leads us to our question. Which Chicago Bears tight end caught Caleb William’s pass that was a play for the ages?

Is it Connor Kmet, Clay Kmet, Carson Kmet, Cole Kmet or was it Mr. Met?

Hint: it was not Mr. Met.

Mendoza Making History

If Fernando Mendoza gets drafted by the Raiders as expected, he’ll be the third player in history to be the No. 1 overall pick, win a national title and win the Heisman Trophy. Joe Burrow was the last player to do it, who was the first? Was it Joe Namath, Jim Plunkett, Steve Spurrier, Cam Newton, Fig Newton.

Curt Questions

Here’s 3 questions regarding Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti – and the last one is about food, so you foodies out there will like that one.

What college gave Curt Cignetti his first head coaching job? Is it Elon, Musk, Brown, William & Mary, or Ted & Alice.

Before landing the job at Indiana, Cignetti coached at James Madison. Time for the nickname gane. What’s the nickname of James Madison’s sports teams? Is it Presidents, Minutemen, Cavaliers, Dukes or Garbonzos.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Cignetti eats the same meal every day during the football season. What is it? Is it KFC Chicken Sandwich with green beans, McDonalds Quarter Pounder with bacon and a McFlurry, Chipotle bowl with chicken and black beans, or Little Cesar’s pepperoni pizza and a 4 piece order of cheesy puffs.

Doubling Down

Brandin Cooks is doubling down that his overtime play should’ve been ruled a catch – and I agree. This play will be remembered for a long, long time, which leads us to the question. Which Broncos defender made the interception on the controversial overtime play that Brandin Cooks says should’ve been ruled a catch?

Is it La’Quan McCallister, Ra’Quan McMahon, Sa’Quan McMullen, Ja’Quan McMillan or F. Murray Abraham?
