Occasional Puzzle: NFL SAT’s

Inspired by my insinuation that Marissa Mayer’s fingerprints were all over Yahoo’s incomprehensible decision to shell out $20 million to broadcast a game between two terrible teams that was already being shown in the local markets (I personally don’t believe Marissa had anything to do with it), I thought I’d prepare a practice SAT exam featuring some our favorite NFL personalities. Enjoy!

1. Ryan Leaf’s fingerprints : every pill bottle in every bathroom medicine cabinet of everyone he ever visited socially :: 

a.) Antonio Cromartie’s fingerprints : condom wrapper
b.) Vince Young’s fingerprints : the textbook for any class at the University of Texas
c.) Darrius Heyward-Bey’s fingerprints : any football that has been thrown in his direction
d.) Andrew Luck’s fingerprints: an electrical appliance
e.) Bill Belichick’s fingerprints : your mom’s uterus


2. Terrell Suggs : Pygocentrus nattereri ::

a.) Drew Brees : a wooly bear caterpillar
b.) Norv Tuner : the moon
c.) Jeff Baca : a Christmas ham
d.) Michael Strahan : the 2002 Houston Texans offensive line
e.) Philip Rivers : a Helium-Cadmium metal vapor laser

5. Derrick Coleman – 
6. Darren Sharper – 
7. Wes Welker – 


O.J. Simpson will forever be associated with the white Bronco he rode in while leading police in a low-speed chase through Los Angeles. Match the vehicle with the NFL personality based on its association with their immoral and/or illegal acts:

a.) Cadillac Escalade
b.) 1999 Ford Econoline Van
c.) Toyota 4Runner

e.) Ice Cream Truck

8. Aaron Hernandez – 
9. Brad Childress –

13. Which of the following TV show concepts was pitched to Hollywood executives as a potential series:

a.) Silverado – James Harrison stars as a talking gorilla that solves crimes in the American Southwest.
b.) Root, Tree, and Branch – Mike Glennon explores his family history, which leads him all the way back the African veldt.
c.) Webb of Deceit – A.J. McCarron participates in the planning of his upcoming wedding to fiancée (and former Miss Alabama) Katherine Webb, but soon learns that things aren’t quite what they seem.
d.) Decker? I hardly know her! – mismatched roommates Eric and Ray attempt to navigate a series of dating adventures in Brooklyn.
