After a week off “Hard Sports Trivia Questions” (such the unique name, I know) is back to test your sports knowledge. With all the “Who should win the Heisman, Johnny Football or Manti T’eo” talk I figured I’d throw in some Heisman questions on top of our usual NBA and NFL knowledge. I would rank this weeks questions as only a 3.5 out of 10 on the difficulty scale so you should feel good about yourself after this one (opposed to those of you who watched the Cardinals vs Jets game last weekend who most certainly had some sort of self hate thing going on).
Before I get to the questions if any of you have a sports trivia question (or questions) that you think is good/hard please send it over to me (rob@baconsports.com) and I’ll include it in a future post. I want to try and add variety to this and also increase the difficulty level. For doing so I’ll give you a plug to whatever you’d like.
