Depending which article you read, the term "Super Bowl" didn't become official until 1969 or 1970.

I always trick people when I ask them how many NFL Championships the Minnesota Vikings won.
Most will say “none”, because they know they lost all four SBs they played in.
But they actually did win the last pre-merger NFL Championship.

My favorite Vikings trivia question: When they traded Tarkington to the Giants, who did they trade him for?

That would, I believe, would be Penn State, even before they were Big 10.

If you mean the four draft picks the Vikings received for Tarkington, that’s an easy one. If you want to know who those draft picks turned out to be, that would take more research.
One of the most frustrating things about having lived for all XLVIII games is the trivia I remember that is tough to verify.
Case in point: As Max McGee crossed BEHIND the goalpost to haul in the first “Super Bowl” score, I distinctly heard the announcer mention that Max McGee had been a jet pilot. Years later, when I mentioned this on a radio call-in show, Will McDonough (the late/famous Boston Globe sportswriter) told me I was probably wrong.
It took me years of searching on the internet to verify this fact. By then, both McGee and McDonough had died.
1967 seems so long ago!

Seattle QB graduated from NC State in three years before he ever went to Wisconsin. He is not only a great quarterback but he is also very intelligent.

I think you're right, wardaddy, you "youngster," you...LOL.
10 years old, huh?, when you watched those guys play!
DrO and Paul Hornung were boys and team mates together at
Flaget's High School for Boys . Flaget was a small Catholic school on the very poor side of town, but they won several state championships in football.
As y'all likely know, Paul eventually went to Notre Dame, (after his cherished Mom made him return the '56 Bel-Air Bear Bryant gave him to entice him to play for the Univ. of KY) DrO went to USNA and the rest is history.

Man, he is a kid!
Paul Hornung, always a favorite even if he did play for the mackerel snappers.

Yeah, he is a kid!
And, BTW, Paul Hornung is a faithful RC.
That’s why his mom made him attend that University!
