08/19/2025 🏈SPORTS TRIVIA – PRO LEVEL🏈   Leave a comment

Now that the NFL preseason has kicked off, I can once again turn into the fanatical Steeler fan that tends to irritate everyone in Maine or New England. I’m not as rabid as some fans but I am criminally loyal to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I swore when the season started this year I was never going to be a Steeler fan again because of their lousy record in actually playing football in playoff games.

Sorry, but I once again lied. I’ve now decided to include the Tampa Buccaneers as my backup team if the Steelers suck again this year. I’ve always been a Baker Mayfield fan and I would love to see him in the Superbowl if the Steelers don’t or can’t make it. And one additional comment: Tell T.J. Watt to get with the program. Doesn’t he realize by now he’s letting his ego send a wrong message to the fan base (my personal opinion). He sounds a little whiny for the big bruiser that he is. Also, his post seasons are nothing to brag about either.

Today’s post is a trivia quiz on sports for those crazy-ass sports fanatics that are waiting to show me how good they are. We shall see. As always the answers are at the bottom.

  1. Where did the territorial-capture board game Go originate, 4000 years ago?
  2. During a serve in American racquetball, what is the first surface the ball must hit after the racket?
  3. How many unique numbers are used in Sudoku?
  4. When did Ralph Samuelson invent waterskiing?
  5. What is the minimum number of moves needed to achieve checkmate in chess?
  6. Which of these sports is not represented in the Olympics? Basketball, Cricket, Dressage, or Handball
  7. Sam Roth hit the fastest tennis serve ever recorded in 2012. How fast was it?
  8. Who holds the record for most points (100) in a single NBA game?
  9. Who invented the game of Scrabble
  10. When Bingo started sometime around 1929, what was it called?
1896
