NFL trivial factoids.
Got this from Newsweek magazine.
Approximate number of people that play fantasy football in the USA and Canada. 27 million Number of chicken fingers orders sold at Crystal City Sports Pub during Redskin home games. 500 The leagues most expensive hot dog is sold at Ford Field, Detroit. $13.00 Pounds of chicken wings sold at the Anchor bar during a Buffalo Bills home game. 3,000 The winningest football jersey number, worn by seven Hall of Famers and quarterbacks who have made 22 Super Bowl starts. 12 The Saints sell about 520 Crawfish Pies and 750 alligator sausages at each home game. The New York city Gin Mill bar goes thru 13 kegs of beer every Sunday during football season.

Re: NFL trivial factoids.
Off the top of my head without looking, I'm going to take a stab at the the seven players that have worn #12.
Okay, 1) Terry Bradshaw 2) Roger Staubach 3) Doug Williams 4) Ken Stabler? 5) Bob Griese 6) Len Dawson? 7) drawing a blank here...um...shit..I got nothing. |

Williams was # 17. I think Dawson was # 16 Stat says "starts" not "wins" so....QBs in HoF, started SB, wear # 12. 1) Bradshaw - 4 SBs 2) Kelly - 4 SBs 3) Staubach - I think 2 SBs 4) Griese - I think 3 SBs 5) Namath - 1 SB, not sure about HoF 6) Stabler - 1 SB, not sure about HoF 7) Brady - 4 SBs, no HoF Close but no cigar. I'm not looking it up 'til later.

1) Players in the HoF that wore # 12 = 7 Bradshaw - 4 SBs Griese - 3 SBs Kelly - 4 SBs Namath - 1 SB Staubach - 4 SBs Total SB starts: 16 Other two HoFers wearing # 12: Arnie Herber, William Roy Lyman 2) SB starting QBs that wore # 12 = 22 (actually 25) see above for 16 SB starts Aaron Rodgers - 1 SB Tom Brady - 4 SBs Kenny Stabler - 1 SB Stan Humphries - 1 SB (wore # 12 w/Chargers) Chris Chandler - 1 SB Rich Gannon - 1 SB Notes: Numbers 16, 22 & 44 are pretty good in HoF also. Trent Dilfer wore #8 when he started the SB for the Ravens

Re: NFL trivial factoids.
Okay, I re-read the question.
I'm replacing Len Dawson with Tom Brady. And other #12 is obvi Aaron Rodgers. |

Re: NFL trivial factoids.
$13.00 for a hot dog? Yikes!
Crawfish pies and alligator sausages. Now that's good eating.
