General Sports Trivia

[Paul Wozniak]

I was going to post the answer this morning since it was in the paper this morning. I thought a Tiger fan would have posted the answer already, since Rod and Mario have been talking about this for a couple of weeks now. (Rod and Mario are the Tiger's TV announcers. Jimbo, where is the Rod Allen mute button on my HR20-100 remote control?)

Ramy, you're on the clock. Where's the next Q?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

After lunch I will have one up.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

That's some long lunch. Your company hiring? I'm willing to relocate for a lunch period like yours.

What was the first puck used in a game of ice hockey made out of?

 

[JamesJ]

wasnt it a rubber ball that got transformed into a puck by cutting the top and bottom off?
edit: my cousin also says the rubber was then changed to a round piece of wood.

What was the first puck used in a game of ice hockey made out of?

(trick question?) When the game was still called Canadian rules bandy = round ball. Later that was cut down on top & bottom to create a disk of sorts; the first known "puck".

others "unofficial" pucks included: stones, lumps of coal, or frozen cow or horse poop.

 

[Ramy]

Frozen cow patty was the answer I was looking for.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

No sh*t?

 

[Ramy]

Alright charper1, we are waiting on the next question.

 

[JamesJ]

how about this, what happens this year in every post game interview for the cleveland indians on sports time ohio (think a gag.)

also I have seen this posted on espn, and other sports news, so its not just a regional question others should know.
