Trivia Answer: It was 1962! Modern fantasy football can be traced back to Wilfred "Bill" Winkenbach, an Oakland, California businessman and limited partner in the Oakland Raiders. In a New York City hotel room during a 1962 Raiders cross-country trip, Winkenbach, Raiders public relations employee Bill Tunnel, and Oakland Tribune reporter Scotty Stirling developed the rules that would eventually become the basis of modern fantasy football.
The inaugural league was called the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL), and the first draft took place in Winkenbach's home in Oakland in August 1963.[6] The league consisted of eight members: administrative affiliates of the American Football League, pro football journalists, and individuals who had purchased or sold 10 season tickets for the Raiders' 1963 season. Each roster consisted of two quarterbacks, four halfbacks, two fullbacks, four wide receivers or tight ends, two return specialists, two kickers, two defensive backs or linebackers, and two defensive linemen. The scoring system was entirely dependent on real-life scoring, and[a] The original system rewarded 25 points for a touchdown pass, rush, or reception, 25 for a field goal, 10 for an extra point, and 200 for a kickoff, punt, or interception that was returned for a touchdown. As of 2015, the GOPPPL was still active and had maintained the original scoring system.

Football Trivia - After that long game, the NFL took a big break from Christmas day games, not playing another until 1989 when last year's Super Bowl AFC reps, the Cincinnati Bengals, played the Minnesota Vikings. The Bengals, needing a win to make the playoffs, lost 29-21 to the Vikings, who clinched a spot with their win.
Non-Football Trivia - In 1955, a misprinted phone number went to a NORAD phone, and the Colonel on duty decided to answer the kids' questions about where Santa was the next year after such a positive public relations coup for the agency it was decided to continue the efforts and thus every since NORAD has been tracking Santa.

Football Trivia - One team did that, the Frankford Yellow Jackets in 1925. The Yellow Jackets, in their second NFL season, played 22(!) games that year, ending with a 15-7 record and in 6th place behind the eventual champions Chicago Cardinals, who won when Pottsville Maroons were suspended for playing an illegal game, ironically for playing too close to Frankford! The Yellow Jackets won one NFL Title in 1926.
Frankford, a suburb of Philadelphia, played in the NFL From 1924 to 1931, when they went under. The NFL, desperate for a team in Philadelphia, granted the Eagles a new franchise and all of the Yellow Jackets history and rights two years later.

Football Trivia
The Steelers became the fifth team since 2000 to win multiple games in a season without scoring a touchdown, joining the 2000 Ravens, 2000 Titans, 2002 Buccaneers, and 2016 Rams.
The Ravens and Titans both made the playoffs in 2000, with the Ravens winning the Super Bowl, the Bucs also won the Super Bowl the year they did this, and the Rams were the odd one out, going 4-12 with two of their wins coming as a result of three field goals.
Non-Football Trivia - Pronounced tur-duhk-uhn, a turducken is a deboned chicken stuffed inside a deboned duck stuffed inside a mostly deboned turkey (its wings and legs are left intact). There’s usually stuffing inside the chicken and between each bird.
It’s the ultimate poultry dish. It’s widely believed that Louisiana chef Paul Prudhomme invented this extravagant dish in the 1970s or 1980s. He trademarked the name in 1986 and served it at his southern restaurant, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen. Madden first had the Turducken, not on Thanksgiving, but on Dec 1, 1996, during a game between the Rams vs Saints. The following year in 1997, was the first time he mentioned it on a Thanksgiving day game, not only showing the dish but eating it with his bare hands!!! The six legs of the Turducken also allowed Madden to give one to each O-lineman after a game! If you really want crazy, get the rôti sans pareil—the roast without equal—created by French gastronomist Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de la Reynière in the 1807 cookbook L'almanach des gourmands. Rôti sans pareil stuffs 17 birds inside each other: a bustard, chicken, duck, garden warbler, goose, guinea fowl, lapwing, lark, ortolan bunting, partridge, pheasant, plover, quail, teal, thrush, turkey, and woodcock ... plus all this other stuff including an olive stuffed with an anchovy stuffed with a single caper, plus pork stuffing—it's ridiculous!

Trivia Answer – A QB has had 5 yards or less in an attempt 1155 times since 2000. Only 29 times has a QB thrown for less than 5 yards an attempt and won the game. (Nix included)
That means in the modern era, if your QB throws for 5 yards or less an attempt…you have a 2.5% chance to win…
All time in the 16,000 or so games played this has only happened 534 times…
The three worst…are all under 3 yards an attempt!
1. Miami’s own Ben Roethlisberger beat Cleveland 26-14 throwing 46 times for 123 yards, 2.7 yards an attempt in a 26-14 win.
2. The immortal Jake Delhomme and the Panthers beat the Raiders 17-6 while going 7-27 for 72 yards (2.7 an attempt). The Raiders QB Andrew Walter only managed 4.3 yards an attempt as well in a game with 7 turnovers.
3. Nix’s win this weekend was the lowest of all, with a measly 2.4 yards an attempt
Five quarterbacks have won this way twice, including Farve, Bledsoe, Brad Johnson, Jim Miller, and Mike McMahon. The Bears have done it the most, four times! Cincinnati has done it twice, both times against the Browns.

Football Trivia - Mike Tomlin’s streak of 17 straight seasons without a losing season is the most ever from the start of a head-coaching career. With Sunday’s win at Seattle, Tomlin moved past George Halas (16) into third on the all-time list of consecutive non-losing seasons. Who are the two Coaches ahead of him?
Pop Culture Trivia - What year was the first Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball Drop?
When was that??? - The Lions won the NFC North, their first division title since 1993…to put that in perspective that year:
Bill Clinton was sworn in as the President for the first time
Michael Jordan left Basketball to play Baseball
Beanie Babies were first released
The first Jurrasic Park movie was released
Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake join Britney and Christina in "The New Mickey Mouse Club."
So You're Saying There is a Chance? - 20 teams are still in contention for a trip to the Super Bowl, which ties for the most with one week remaining in the last 41 years, since a record 22 in 1982. Of course, 82 was a strike year, and 16 teams made the playoffs in a weird shortened season.
D Adams is the best thing about the Raiders - Adams is the fifth player with four career seasons of 1,300 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns. Rice, Moss, Harrison, and Owens are the other four.
Purdy Good - Brock Purdy passed Justin Herbert and tied Russell Wilson for the most games with a 110-plus passer rating in a player’s first two seasons.
MVP - Lamar Jackson moved into a tie for the most games with a perfect passer rating in NFL history (three), joining the likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Ben Roethlisberger.
Pat’s Pretty Good as Well - Patrick Mahomes joined HOFer Peyton Manning as the only player with 4,000-plus passing yards in six or more of a player's first seven seasons. Mahomes' only season under 4,000 was his rookie season in 2017, when he only started one game.
Records that could be set this Week -
Tyreek Hill needs 247 yards to pass Calvin Johnsons' record for receiving yards in a season.
Puka Nucua needs three catches and 29 receiving yards in Week 18 to set a new record. The WR’s 101 catches are second-most behind Jaylen Waddle’s 104 (2021), and his 1445 yards are third behind Ja’Marr Chase (1,455) and the record holder, Bill Gorman (1,473), who set the record in 1960 with Houston in the AFL.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta needs one catch to break the rookie TE catch record.
Football Trivia Answer - Tomlin is behind Bill Belichick (19, from 2001 to 2019) and Tom Landry (20, from 1965 to 1985).
Pop Culture Trivia - First held on December 31, 1907, to welcome 1908, organized by Adolph Ochs, owner of The New York Times newspaper, as a successor to a series of New Year's Eve fireworks displays he held at the building to promote its status as the new headquarters of the Times. The ball drop has been held annually, except in 1942 and 1943, in observance of wartime blackouts when a moment of silence was observed along with the playing of a recording of church bells.
The ball's design has been updated four times to reflect improvements in lighting technology; the original ball was 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter, constructed from wood and iron, and illuminated with 100 incandescent light bulbs. By contrast, the current (fifth) ball is 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter and uses over 32,000 LED lamps. Since 1999–2000, the ball has featured an outer surface consisting of triangular panels manufactured by Waterford Crystal, which contain inscriptions representing a yearly theme.
