These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-03-13,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 8, Round 9 - Sports - Owners of Professional Sports Teams
This round is about owners, past and present, of professional
sports teams. Many of these owners developed quite a public
profile of their own. We give you their name and a clue, and
you, of course, identify their number on the handout:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/G8R9/owners.jpg
1. Harold Ballard was majority owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs
from 1971 until his death in 1990. He took control of the
team about the same time he was convicted of fraud and served
a short prison sentence.
2. The nickname for the late New York Yankees owner George
Steinbrenner was "the Boss". Controversial at times, he was
a larger-than-life version of Donald Trump.
3. Georgia Frontiere inherited control of the Los Angeles Rams
football team after her husband, Carroll Rosenbloom, died in
1979 while swimming off a Florida beach. The 7-times-married
Frontiere moved the Rams to her hometown of St. Louis in 1995.
4. Marge Schott owned the Cincinnati Reds baseball team from
1984 to 1999. She got into some trouble, though, for her racist
comments over the years and for letting her St. Bernards run
wild and defecate on the baseball field.
5. Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, bought the Los Angeles
Clippers basketball team in 2014 for $2,000,000,000. Not to
worry: his net worth is $22,000,000,000.
6. James Dolan owns the New York Knicks basketball team and New
York Rangers hockey team and is pretty much universally despised
by sports fans in that city. Most recently he feuded with
retired Knicks star Charles Oakley.
7. He is the richest man in Canada. David Thomson is also co-owner
of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team.
8. Billionaire Daryl Katz owns the Edmonton Oilers hockey team.
He also has a 25,000 sq.ft. (2,300 m²) home, one of the largest
in the city.
9. Al Davis owned the Oakland Raiders football team from 1972
to 2011, although he was never liked by the NFL establishment.
10. Jerry Jones is perhaps one of the most disliked NFL owners,
at least for any fan who doesn't care for the Dallas Cowboys.
He is also known for meddling in day-to-day team operations.
So there were 5 decoys. After completing the round, if you like,
decode the rot13 and identify them for fun, but for no points.
