Football Trivia

The average amount of play time in a NFL game is eleven minutes. That's eleven minutes of actual play achieved over four 15-minute quarters.

Deion Sanders in 1989 played in the Super Bowl for the Atlantic Falcons and in the World Series for the Yankees. He's also the only person to have scored a touchdown and hit a major league homer in the same week.

After two years of retirement seventy eight percent of professional football players are bankrupt or in severe financial troubles.

Professional football , if you judge it by television-viewing is the most popular sport in the United States.

 

Are you sure he played for the Yankees? I remember him playing for the Braves.

 

Falcons have only been to the Super Bowl twice. And it wasn't in 1989.

 

I didn't really like Neon Deion when he came out of college but he won me over. He was a threat to score anytime he touched the football & usually did.

On to trivia, Bo Jackson is the only player to be an all-star in both football & baseball. He was drafted #1 by the Bucs & with great wisdom refused to play for them.

 

And by 5 years 95 percent are broke.

 

I know he played for the stankies triple a Columbus clippers.

 

Yeah Mac I looked it up and he was drafted by the Yanks. Did not know that always thought he got his start with Atlanta .

 

I think he transposed the numbers, 89 for 98. The game was played in'99 though...

 

I don't think Deion played in either or any of those games though, '89, '98, ect.

 

Deon did not play in a Super Bowl with the Falcons ever. He won one with the 49ers in 94 and one with the Cowboys in 95.
