Anybody want to play 20 questions?

The Game Room
701

Is it an individual sport?

702
  1. No
703

is sport one of the following: baseball, basketball, or football?

704
  1. Yes - cutting to the chase … football
705

The hints should make up for any ambiguities in previous questions and answers.

SUMMARY: A famous Caucasian American, affiliated with football, who died in or after 1980

706

… and since I already said he preformed his job in front of audiences, you can eliminate people who were exclusively owners, commissioners, scouts, and front office types.

707

Offensive player?

Hall of Famer?

708

Was he a quarterback?

ETA: Scratch that, I’ll take a guess: Johnny Unitas

709

We have a simulpost, so I will choose the questions in the order that seems best.

  1. Hall of Famer?

Yes.

17a. Offensive player?

No.

17b. Was he a quarterback?

No. (See 17a)

17c. Johnny Unitas?

No. (See 17a)

710

CORRECTION: He played offense and defense in college, but is not known for that

711

hmmm a white defensive Hall of Famer that died less than 30 yrs ago?

I can come up with some names, but IMO, they are pretty obscure.

Did he also coach?

712
  1. Yes, he was a coach

[It has not been established he was defensive player, except in college, if that’s what you mean.]

713

Sorry, my commentary made that confusing as to what’s been established and not established.

FACTS:

He played pro football on defense.

He was a pro coach.

714

Reading btwn the lines, that means he is a HoFamer for Coaching.

My Guess is Tom Landry and as Washington Redskin Fan from the 70’s and 80’s i despise this man.

715

Tom Landry is correct! As a Cowboys fan, well, you know where that’s headed. :smiley:

Good game. You’re up.

716

If I had known your were a Cowboy fan I would have guess George Allen!

OK, lets make this quick, I’ll be online most of the evening and tomorrow, but I am leaving town on Sunday.

I am thinking of a person.

717
  1. Male?
  2. Fictional?

Only if NOT fictional:
3. Currently alive?
4. From the Americas?
5. Known for a significant place in history as opposed to entertainment?

718
  1. Yes, this person has a y-chromosone
  2. real person
  3. Currently breathing
  4. yes, from the New World
  5. His place in history is about as noteworthy as his place in entertainment (hows that for a vague answer?)
719
  1. From United States?
  2. Served in government?
720

to clarify, his place in history is well known, but you probably won’t be reading about him in any high school history books.
