These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-10-19,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 7 - Sports - Quarterbacks
Quarterback is the most important position in football. In case
case name the QB that we describe.
1. This University of Tennessee graduate and current Denver Bronco
is a 5-time NFL MVP and holds over 40 NFL QB records, including
both the career and the season records for touchdown passes.
2. This Green Bay Packer was last season's NFL MVP and was the
MVP of Super Bowl XLV. He also holds the career and season
passer-rating records.
3. This former Pittsburgh Steelers QB and 1989 Pro Football
Hall of Fame inductee became the first to win four Super Bowls.
Besides his numerous appearances in television commercials, he
can now also be regularly seen as an analyst on "Fox NFL Sunday".
4. This decorated former Dallas Cowboys QB is one of 4 players
to have won the Heisman trophy and the Super Bowl MVP award.
One of his nicknames was "Captain America", and he is also
known for coining the term "Hail Mary pass" for a last second
desperation throw to the end zone, after he successfully
completed one to Drew Pearson to win a 1975 playoff game.
5. This legendary San Francisco 49ers QB graduated from Notre Dame
in 1979 and went on to become a 3-time Super Bowl MVP and
4-time winner. He is also known for his role in one of the most
iconic moments in NFL history, "The Catch", throwing the winning
touchdown to Dwight Clark in the NFC Championship game in 1982,
and kickstarting the 49er dynasty.
6. This former Miami Dolphins QB was the 1984 NFL MVP and held
several passing records which were recently broken by the likes
of Brett Favre, Drew Brees, and <answer 1>. In popular culture
he was known as a spokesman for Isotoner gloves and for his
hilarious cameo in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective".
7. Nicknamed "Big Ben" for his 6'5", 241-pound frame, this
Pittsburgh Steeler became the youngest QB to win the Super Bowl
at age 23, defeating the Seattle Seahawks in 2005.
8. He was the Super Bowl MVP of the game played in 2015, but has
also been in the spotlight for his recent successful appeal of
a 4-game suspension due to his alleged involvement in a cheating
scandal known as Deflategate.
9. He was drafted by the Las Vegas Posse in the CFL in 1994, but
didn't make a name for himself until signing as a free agent for
the Montreal Alouettes in 1998. Over the next 16 seasons he won
3 Grey Cups and 3 Most Outstanding Player awards. He is also
pro football's all-time passing yards leader, with 79,816 yards.
10. He was the starting QB for the Toronto Argonauts when they
last won the Grey Cup in 2012, but has now missed most of this
season due to an off-season shoulder surgery. He was also the
2005 Grey Cup MVP with his previous team -- the Edmonton Eskimos.

3. "Herald".
4. "Free Press".
5. "Spectator".
6. "Whig Standard".
