417.0. "SUPER BOWL TRIVIA HELP!" by PLOP::COYLE () Thu Nov 15 1990 17:48



     Does anyone know who the first guy to intercept a pass and return it
for a touchdown in a SuperBowl game was?


                                        KC

417.1Hmmm ...SHALOT::HUNTA Prom Nightmare On Helms StreetThu Nov 15 1990 18:009
    That's a tough one ...
    
    I'll give two guesses ...
    
    	1) Chuck Howley, Dallas Cowboys, Super Bowl V, 1971
    or
    	2) Willie Brown, Oakland Raiders, Super Bowl XI, 1977

Nope.

Think it was Herb Adderly, Green Bay in Super Bowl II.

If not him, then one of the Packer's DBs in either I or II......

    Looked it up in my NFL Record Manual last night.  Unless I cain't read,
    it was Adderley in Super Bowl II.  And, I had the manual open and was
    typing the entry while looking at the manual last night.  So, unless
    I've completely lost my mind, it's accurate.

The key play of Super Bowl I was the reception by Max McGee I believe.

Max had not been slated to start, partied a bit to too the evening
before and arrived at the stadium with a terrific hangover.  

Later, during the game, on a down and in pattern, Starr hit him with
a 35 yard (not quite sure of the yardage) TD pass.  If memory serves
me correctly, the pass was just a tad behind him, but he pulled it
in to score....

    Yes, Max's catch was an awkward one.  He actually wedged the ball
    between his right ebbo and kidney as he forced his forward moving 
    upper body to turn backwards a bit.........
    
    Good call on the 1st SB INT, 'Saw.

417.10Interceptions in the Super Bowl33509::LAZARUSDavid Lazarus @KYO,323-4353Mon Nov 19 1990 10:1113
    Most accounts I've read of Super Bowl I said that the key play of the
    game was an interception by Willie Wood early in the third quarter with
    KC trailing only 14-10. Wood returned the ball inside the 5 and Green
    Bay dominated the rest of the game,winning 35-10.
    
    The following year,Adderly returned a Darryl LaMonica pass for a TD
    giving GB a 33-7 lead. They won 33-14.
    
    Adderly,Willie Brown of Oakland in 1977 and Jack Squirek of LA in 1984.
    Mike Bass of Washington against Miami,was that considered an
    interception?
    Any others? 
    
417.11CAM::WAYHWRFC ClydesdaleMon Nov 19 1990 10:3011
Yeah, I'd give you that play in Super Bowl I.  I just remember the
McGee catch because he was 2nd stringer who got, and answered the call.


Easy one:

	Name the only two men to wear the Naval Academy Ring and
	a Super Bowl Ring.....

Yesterday, the Castle Rock Dolphins won the SUPERBOWL for the TRI-County
Athletic Youth League Football Championship (Eleven year old division).
They beat the Douglas County Panthers by a score of 26-13.

	The Dolphins have been a Mondo-awesome team all year, and with
the Superbowl win, capped a 10 - 0 season

	Some stats for the season include:

	Points scored  - 530
	Points allowed -  77

Famed SPORTS Noter Mike JN (hoarse, but smiling like a crap-eating dog)

Offensive Guard, Defensive Tackle, and Smash Mouth Special Teams, is a
