STEELER Trivia

No. Hanratty has 2 rings- but he played in several games, even starting one, in the 1974 season, and he played in Super Bowl X as well in the 1975 season. These are guys who were on the team's roster all season (active roster, not taxi or practice squads) but never played in a regular or post season game- but picked up Super Bowl rings not once, but twice. Both players did play in games for the Steelers in other seasons, just not the Super Bowl seasons.

I have a lot of good trivia for this thread, rest assured.

 

Did Bubby Brister play a down for Denver when they won twice??

 

Yes, he did. To make it clear- these are TWO Steelers players who have rings for Steelers Super Bowl victories, not Steelers players who played for other franchise's Super Bowl championship teams.

 

Is one of them Duce Staley?
Wait, that's not right.

 

Cliff Stoudt....Yeah I looked it up ....Cant find #2 yet....Its driving me CRAZY!!

 

Stoudt is correct. Staley is not- he got a ring for the Super Bowl win over Seattle though, but he played in games that season. The other guy is from the two more recent Super Bowl champions.

 

Only players I could find on active roster in 2005 who played 0 games are Kemo & Nua.....In 2008 Capizzi & Hills.....I give!! UNCLE!!

 

Nope, you missed one- Arnold Harrison. He was on the roster in 2005, but never got into a game. in 2008, he went on IR. He played in 28 games total in 2006, 2007, and 2009. But not a down on the field in 2005 or 2008.

However he still got a ring for each season. Nice work if you can get it.

 

I just have one thing to say.....Who da F is Arnold Harrison???.....Great Q jimmy!!! Love it!!!

 

Arnold was a LB who played on special teams. OK, since I answered my own question- does that make me eligible to ask this next one?

If so, let this one be easier.

Who is the only Heisman trophy winner to play in a regular season game for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

 

Johnny Lattner........So much easier than last Q!!!

 

What STEELER qb replaced not one but two HOF QBs in his career?

 

Jimmy.....No guess????

 

I'm not logged in here all the time, Myron, so I just saw this. You were right on Lattner. The only other Heisman winner ever to be Steelers property was Troy Smith.

can you define the question better? what do you mean by replaced? Was he on the Steelers when it happened? Ed Brown for example replaced GEorge Blanda on the Bears and then Bobby Layne on the Steelers.

 

He was a Steeler when it happened a second time. Hint Hint......

 

Ed Brown- first Blanda then Layne?

 

I'm going to guess a guy a former Steeler QB named Ed Brown who I think played with Bobby Layne and Johnny Unitas. But I'm not sure he replaced either of them.

 

Sorry both wrong.....This QB started the next game after the HOF QBs retired.

 

David Woodley?

 

DING DING DING......We have a winner!!!

 

who replaced Tb? Sorry thinking out load here...

OIC, it was answered.

 

Ok, my turn again. Who was the first Steeler to score a point in an overtime game?

 

Ernie Stautner

 

no, to clarify a little bit-

I am asking for the player who scored the Steelers first points in a sudden death overtime period in a regular season game.

 

Here is an odd bit of trivia about Hanratty...

Few may know that the Steelers made slight changes in the jersey design prior to the 1975 season. The style and spacing of the lettering was altered. So were the numbers. The most noticeable change was to the number 5. Prior to 1975, the five looked like this:

Notice the hook. That hook was removed and replaced with a straight, right angle for the 1975 and thereafter:

However, one player, for whatever reason, still had the "hook" 5 for the 1975 season: Hanratty. For whatever reason, hs uniform number that season did not match the rest of the team. Check here for this brief appearance in Super Bowl X and you can see it:
