Extreme Trivia #65
May 24, 2007 at 1:16 pm
First, last week’s trivia answer — “The Clinton Chronicles” — and the winning questions:
- Peter Roff: Name the “smash and grab” style documentary promoted heavily by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell that purported to reveal all the dirty dealings of President and Mrs. Bill Clinton and their Arkansas cronies.
- Quin: It was made by a guy named Pat Matrisciana. But the truly scary question would be: How would historians refer to this entire era if Hillary Clinton were elected president?
Now, this week’s Extreme Trivia answer — Late in the second quarter in a 1971 game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Redskins run a reverse play that loses three yards. What’s the question?

What example about why you shouldn’t take advice from a president, who faces intense media scrutiny because of a struggling war, did George Allen provide for his kids?
Apparently, little George Felix wasn’t paying attention.

Peter Roff is absolutely correct and deserves a prize, but diehards will recall Roy Jefferson lost 13 yards

What was the play suggested by Richard M Nixon to Redskins head coach George Allen that taught Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula that RMN is not a good offensive coordinator when the President suggested the “Fins use a slant pass to Paul Warfield in Super Bowl VI?
Shula could lose it all on his own — Cowboys 24 - Dolphins 3.

“Q”: “Now, this week’s Extreme Trivia answer — Late in the second quarter in a 1971 game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Redskins run a reverse play that loses three yards. What’s the question?”
“A”: Why was I drinking alone in the Fall of 1971 because my husband was more interested in calling Redskins plays to George Allen than calling me into the bedroom?

On NBC’s Saturday Night, which runs in the same time slot as Your Show of Shows, Chevy Chase was making jokes about the Italian earthquake and an actress playing a drunk Pat Nixon was complaining about not going to bed with Dick for fourteen years.
