Tom Brady has started every game on his career except one. Who started that game ?
Correction: Garappolo started two games at New England in 2016 in place of Brady.

Thanks Giants. My question was from Jeopardy. Drew Bledsoe was their answer

Brady didn't start that game, he finished it. I guess, he never played in games Jimmy started. Of course there were the four deflate gate games, too. Did Jimmy start those?

Garoppolo started in place of Brady but was injured in game two, so then Jacoby Brissett started a pair of games. And of course Matt Cassel had earlier started the entire season after Brady tore his ACL.

So, Jeopardy was right if the question is asked in the following manner…
Of the games in which Tom Brady has played, he has started all but one. Who was the starting quarterback in that game?
Bledsoe…..
Correction rescinded. Your record remains perfect, Bob.

What school played it’s first 10 game season scheduling only major college teams in 1958?
How many wins/losses and where was their final game played?

Army. 8-2. Philadelphia.

AFAIK, who was the last Stanford basketball player to shoot free throws underhanded?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 01-06-2022
Not that I really recall. Kim Belton

John Paye?

Good one . Paye sure did.

That's who I was thinking of.

Air Force. Final game played was at the Cotton Bowl vs TCU, an 0-0 tie. Regular season 9-0-1. Beat Stanford 16-0 in Paly.

Darn. Figured it was a service academy. Guessed the wrong one. Air Force. Don’t remember ‘58 game as I was a couple months old. But I do remember the ‘70 game. That was bad enough…
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 01-06-2022
Loaded magazines for my dad at the Air Force game. ‘58 was Cactus Jack’s first team with Nicolete and Norman learning the system. Not much defense until Ralston arrived. The 70 team went to sleep against Purdue and AF and was thinking ahead and lost the Big Game.

Ralston held a bunch of starters out of the '70 Purdue game. He had the big one against USC the following week and wanted to be sure his players were healthy. Smart move.
The Air Force game was played in the snow. Air Force was no slouch, either. They went to the Sugar Bowl.
Stanford had already clinched the Pac 8 Title before the '70 Big Game. They were flat, Cal wasn't.
A possible National Championship and a long winning streak eluded Ralston in '70 and '71. Stanford was favored, sometimes heavily, in all of their losses those two seasons. The knock on Stanford was that they, "Couldn't win the little one".

Being flat in the Big Game is a mortal sin. My best shot that day was slow motion of Tom Sones making a goal line stop. Still have it somewhere in my vault.
In Mission Impossible: Fallout Ethan is given his assignment tape in the body of a classic book. What is the book?
What objects were uniformed American soldiers given to confuse Nazi spies in London prior to the invasion in 1944?
Why did John Reynolds turn down Lincoln's offer of command of the Army of the Potomac?
What future Bay Area car dealer played Jack Webb's (Sgt. Joe Friday) sidekick in the first TV iteration of "Dragnet?"
What is the oldest restaurant in San Francisco and what is its sub title?

I was in the same frat as Tom Sones. His nickname in the house was The Rock. Too bad we didn’t copyright it for him back then.

Tadich Grill is the oldest restaurant in SF.

Tadich... “The original cold day restaurant.”
