20 Super Bowl Trivia Questions With Some Bite

So you’ve had your face painted. You put off making love to your significant other in order to spend more time managing your fantasy football team. Maybe you even listen to sports talk radio more hours a day than you actually sleep and you certainly watch Ron Jaworski break down film on a weekly basis.

You are indeed a football lifer. Unfortunately, merely confessing to any of those activities doesn’t certify you as a football genius. The ultimate barometer of your football IQ isn’t certifiably tested until you’ve successfully participated in sports radio legend Chris Russo’s annual Super Bowl Trivia contest.

The man they call the “Mad Dog” has more hidden answers to Super Bowl trivia questions than Mitt Romney has dollars stowed away in offshore bank accounts! Don’t kid yourself: the middle name of Mercury Morris’ third grandchild, and what hospital he was born in, could very well get asked.

Each year around this time, the Sirius XM radio host takes on the alter ego of the “Marquis de Sade” and gives each caller a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Super Bowl along with hotel accommodations. All the contestant has to do is answer and advance through four consecutive rounds consisting of a combo of questions and sound bites relating to the Super Bowl.

While I have added a few questions of my own, the majority of the list below includes contest questions “The Marquis” has been confounding contestants with already. Think you can collect these answers in one workday? Russo’s contestants get about 10 seconds to answer one!
