You guys know the drill: answer a question, ask another one. No googling!
R1: (General) What are the only two days of the year on which none of the 4 major US sports play games? (Hint: not particular dates, but dates defined by proximity to a certain event).
R2: (American Football) Who holds the NFL single-season record for combined rushing and passing yardage?
R3: (Association Football) Who won the Golden Boot in the 1966 FIFA World Cup?
R4: (Formula 1) Who holds the all-time record for most F1 pole positions?
R5: (Rugby Union) Where did England play most of its home international matches before Twickenham Stadium was built?
R2, I’ll go with Dan Marino. He wasn’t a big rusher but passed for so many yards that year he broke 5,000, I suspect he’ll beat any other season by anyone.
R6. Who held the NHL record for goals in a season before Wayne Gretzky came along?
R7. Okay, how about ASSISTS in a season before Wayne Gretzky came along?
It’s Marino, unless there’s someone I’m not thinking of. pro-football-reference.com doesn’t seem to have a search portal to look stuff like this up, which is annoying.

If you mean “Men’s Basketball” and not just “Basketball”, yes. Otherwise, the WNBA has games.
Culpepper posted 4,717 passing yards and 406 rushing yards in '04, for a total of 5,123. I’ll give you credit for getting the answer right, since you showed your work.
AST 5 is Maravich; Bird never did it. It’s amazing how few NBA scoring champions there have been. I’m sure there are a couple one-offs I can’t come up with off the top of my head, but since Maravich I can only think of a handful of players who have won all but a few scoring titles in the last three decades. And none of them were honkies.
RJ 3’s gotta be Shaq.
RJ 4 - two, right? Won three and was stripped of one?
