When I guessed Lassiter I didn't realize we had to put the team and number

Kansas City Wizards, #9

yes it is, the best catch I've seen in my time, I remember Al saying his line, "HE DID WHAT?" I will always remember that moment

How about a new question anyways? not too many people know soccer here

This forum just seems like it dies everytime a soccer question comes up, and I don't like soccer, I admit it, but I'd like a few questions I can have a chance at, the last like 10 haven't been a Major US sport (There is one English Sport I like though, Rugby, that's a fun game, but also painful)

HINT: It was over 25 goals, a very rare happening in MLS history.

I believe the correct term for this is "overrated." He's 35, thats all I have to say. He can't run, he can't pass, all he can do is score once in a while with a free kick. For a actually decent imported player, see Cuhatemoc Blanco.

Hey, don't look at me. I'm no great fan of the guy. But Blanco isn't exactly in his prime, either. Which is a distillation of why MLS is crap.

CORRECT! (although the wikipedia page says otherwise)

Lassiter scored 29 in season 1 with the Tampa Bay Mutiny (non-existant, just assumed no one would guess it).

Sweet, I'll put an american football question:

The most sacks in a game by a single player is 7. Who holds the record? What year did the game take place, and what two teams were playing?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:14 pm

Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs sacked Dave Kreig of the Seahawks those seven times... and he almost had an eighth, but couldn't quite get to Kreig before the QB threw the game-winning TD pass.

At least, I think that's the answer.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:14 pm

Oh, and I'm not certain about the year, but it was either 90 or 91.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:17 pm

Anyway, new question:
Name the two longest tenured players in baseball that have played their entire career for one team.
Hint: they've both played for their respective teams for 20 years

You obviously looked up the last answer incandenza

seriously, what fun is this thread when people like you just look up the answers

you're funny kid, no one here but you would assume incan would do that.....he's the OP and respected enough that no one but a douche (or young 'un) would question him on this.....isn't it just more likely that he knows a good bit of trivia.....

and RIP derrick thomas! roll tide....

it sounds like you mean "active" most-tenured players in your question, incan, but not explicit. i'll guess craig biggio and trevor hoffman (kills me to not guess smoltz)

I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, I would remind you that not everyone on this site is 14. Some of us are old enough to have actually watched that game and stood in awe of this human force of nature that kept just breezing through the seattle o-line, only for him to come up juuuuust short at the very end. Derrick Thomas was the man.

And neph, you've got three names there. Two of them are correct, and I'd be obliged if you didn't kill yourself.

Nephilim · Post by **Nephilim** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 9:04 pm

hmmm, i showing both biggio and smoltz as having 19 years in the bigs, not 20, that's odd.....

okay so, in honor of derrick thomas: he is the all-time sack leader at alabama. in fact, he has more than twice as many as number 2. he has the numbers 1 and 2 single season sack records! he had 18 in 1987 and 27 in 1988.

okay so name the number 2 all time sack guy at bama. you'll need a hint, he is currently a second-string DT for the Carolina Panthers and is actually the all time bama leader in TFLs......

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 9:45 pm

Maybe it doesn't include this season... moot point.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess kemoeatu... I'm not even 100% he's on the panthers, but I seem to recall a couple weeks ago playing madden with my roommate and ole' kemoeatu showing up as a backup DT for carolina. And, of course, he does have one of the all-time great names... every time I see him I have to say, in as frighteningly flat a tone as I can manage, "Kemo eat you."

Nephilim · Post by **Nephilim** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 10:32 pm

nice try but i believe he's a starter for the panthers and i'm positive he didn't play for bama.....i don't think we've ever had a hawaiian player (or samoan or whatever)
