RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - Mick - 12-04-2025
Two-part question:
In the last two games, the San Francisco 49ers gave up less than ten points, giving up nine against the Panthers and eight against the Browns. When was the last time the 49ers allowed less than 10 points two games in a row?
Who was the defensive team captain calling the defenses these last two games?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BobK - 12-04-2025
Curtis Robinson of Stanford except for several plays when he was out injured on the most recent game
Thankfully he recovered fast

Correct! Stanford MIKE linebacker and coverage calling genius Curtis Robinson has called the plays against the Panthers (7-6) and Browns (3-9).
Last time this happened was during the 2019 season during the Super Bowl season. 49ers gave up 3 vs. Browns, 7 vs. Rams and skunked the Redskins 9-0. Defensive coordinator was Robert Saleh in his first season with the 49ers. 49ers were ranked second in yards given up by their defense, 3rd in fewest first downs, 8th in fewest points allowed.
Current year isn't as good. While 49ers are 8th in points allowed, they are 20th in yards allowed (this week's bye should help) and 24th in average yard sallowed per drive.

Niners have this week off. Odd that it happens after 14 games. Four remaining regular season games, one very easy (Titans, 1-11), they're next, at home. Easy win.
Next week, at Colts (8-4), Colts lost last two vs. Texans and Chiefs. Currently, #6 AFC seed.
Then, Chicago Bears (9-3) at home. Currently, #1 NFC seed.
Then the Seahawks (9-3) at home. Currently, #5 NFC seed.
Right now, Niners are #7 seed in NFC, but have best conference and Division records among NFC West teams. Rams have Cardinals, Lions, Seahawks and Falcons. Tough schedule.

Former Cal QB Aaron Rodgers had a 3.9 gpa and a 1310 on the SAT (87th percentile). Too bad Stanford didn't recruit him.

Rogers went to butte JC. No one recruited him out of HS
Mahomes

llinois offered him a chance to walk on. No one offered him a scholarship. While he played well and had good numbers, his main issue was that he was just 5'10" and 165 pounds as a senior.

I looked it up. Should have listened to my instincts and listed two players on the list. Oh well.

I grew up in Ohio. My father's first and middle names were Cassius Clay. I was a baseball star. I went to UMichigan where I met my wife and received my mechanical engineering degree and had a happenstance meeting with the new baseball coach: Branch Rickey. I dominated college ball. Frosh were not permitted to play on varsity, but in a scrimmage against the varsity, I struck out 20 batters. For my college career, I hit nearly .500, threw a no-hitter with Cy Young umpiring behind home plate. Rickey moved me to first base.
I signed a contract with the Pirates, but refused to report immediately, and Pittsburgh suspended me. I appealed to Mr. Rickey (already a lawyer) who pointed out that I signed the contract as a minor, therefore, it was invalid. When I graduated, I signed with St. Louis because Mr. Rickey was the manager.
In 1918, I enlisted in the army in the Chemical Warfare Service (commanded by Branch Rickey). I was about to go overseas when the war ended.
I hit .340 for my career, over .400 twice, nine straight .300+ seasons -- only Ty Cobb and I can make that claim. I played first base, but my fielding was so strong that I played second and third on occasion. I stole 375 basis and led the league four times in that category. I led the league twice in most triples. I was AL MVP in 1922 when both Ruth and Cobb were at the height of their powers. I had the longest hitting streak in the majors (41 games) until Joe DiMaggio broke it.
I pitched in parts of seven different seasons, mustering a 2.35 ERA and threw 12 complete games. Didn't give up an HR in 111 innings. In 1915, I beat Walter Johnson in a 2-1 complete game victory and in 1916 I beat him again 1-0.
As a fielder, I led the league in assists seven times (finishing second five times) and errors five times (after I had vision problems), double plays twice. .987 for my career, about average for the era.
I played for the Browns, and the Yankees offered St. Louis more for my services than they offered the Red Sox for Babe Ruth. I still hold the Browns/Orioles franchise records for hits, OBP, OPS, total bases, triples and stolen bases.
When I was 30, I had a sinus infection that was so bad, I had double vision and I was out for the year. I hit over .300 six more times, but was never quite the same after that.
When I retired, I scouted Jackie Robinson for Mr. Rickey and taught Jackie how to play first base (though I thought he would be a star second baseman). I worked with Duke Snider, Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges and when I joined the Pirates, I signed Roberto Clemente and advised him to use a heavier bat...Clemente won the league batting title that season. I signed Bill Mazerosi. I even coached Frank Thomas later in life.
Two of my two sons played in MLB, a third was president of the International League. My daughter Frances was present when Ichiro Suzuki broke my single season hits record.
I didn't make the Hall of Fame until the fourth ballot.
Who am I?
