20 Questions, Super Bowl XLIV Style
By Bo Allegrucci on <ABBR class=published title=2010-01-26T04:20:03-05:00>January 26, 2010 4:20 AM</ABBR>
Here now is the XLIV version of the mind-numbing Super Bowl trivia game that's fun for the entire family. By that, I mean you'll probably need to consult your uncle or grandfather for some of the answers, but your uncle or grandfather will probably need to consult you for a few too. Some questions share all or part of their answer with other questions, and whether it's right on the tip of your tongue or buried in the back of your mind, these questions should be answerable for the true NFL fans and Super Bowl enthusiasts among us. If not, just watch ESPN for the next 10 days and they'll probably answer them for you.
1. A) Which 3 NFL franchises have won at least 5 Super Bowls apiece?
B) Which of those 3 has a record 6 Lombardi Trophies?

2. Brett Favre would have been the third quarterback to start a Super Bowl for two different teams. Which two QB's have?
3. With the Saints finally making their first Super Bowl, which 4 NFL franchises still have not been to the big game?
