Answers:

  1. D. H.L. Hunt was an avid poker player who won a small fortune in a game in New Orleans and then parlayed that into the purchase of the richest oil field in the world from a wildcatter named Dad Joiner.
  2. D. “The First Lady of Football,” Norma Hunt has attended every single Super Bowl, along with just over a dozen men, most of them in the media.
  3. A. The game was played at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans and featured the Southern University marching band and a bizarre reenactment featuring Redcoats, horses and cannons.
  4. D. The 1971 AFC Divisional playoff game went on for an uninterrupted 82 minutes and 40 seconds on Christmas Day, prompting the league to discontinue Christmas games for almost two decades. The Chiefs ultimately bested a Miami Dolphins team that, the next season, became the only perfect team in NFL history.
  5. C. This logo belonged to the other Dallas Texans which folded after one season and went on to become the Baltimore Colts.
  6. B. Sorry, even the might Mahomet can’t do that, it’s 476 yards between stadiums. Mahomet has been recorded throwing 90 yards.
  7. A. Abner Haynes was a standout running back for the franchise in the AFL years but has no been inducted into Canton.
  8. D. The numbers worn by Montana and Gonzales are still in circulation. They were the most recently worn by a pair of undrafted free agents.
  9. C. Dick vermeil won with the St. Louis Rams before coming to KC. Marty Schottenheimer has somewhat famously never played in a Super Bowl, the winningest coach to never do so, while Marv Levy lost four in a row with the Bills.
  10. B. Tyler Palko is not the top passer in Pitt history, that’s still Dan Marino. Elvis Grbac was indeed named the Sexiest Athlete Alive by People magazine, though the editor later admitted it was an error. Even more improbably, Rich Gannon was indeed the league MVP while with the Raiders.
  11. D. Nick Foles won the Super Bowl the year after playing for the Chiefs. Brady Quinn as played for seven teams including the Chiefs while Case Keenum has played for eight teams not including the Chiefs (yet).
