Here is today's sports trivia question.

What do George Steinbrenner (NYY owner) and actor MacLean Stevenson (TV M*A*S*H's Col. Blake) have in common?


Proper trivia etiquette is that no new questions are asked until the current question is answered. OK, mbuff?

They both have a Northwestern University connection. Stevenson (Hello, Larry!) was on staff at the same time Steinbrenner was a coach, I think in football.

Keeping the Northwestern theme going:
Warren Beatty was a student in Evanston at the same time. Beatty attended my alma mater, Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, VA.

Next question:
Name Beatty's famous actress sister and the other famous actress who are alumi of W-L, along with the Super Bowl MVP that is an alumnus as well? Hint: Not all attended at the same time.

His sister is Shirley MacLaine. The others I don't know.

Miss Congeniality: Sandra Bullock (sisters' favorite actress and she knew right away, SO WHAT, I asked for help, I'll admit I don't know actresses)
Shirely MacClaine (got the answer from above)
Deion Branch (Just a guess)

If Deion is not correct can you give us a hint for the MVP.... was it recent or is it old school (decade at least)

Did you get to wear the crown?

Got an answer, I think. Is it Terrell Davis or Dieon Branch, I think both went to Georgia. Not sure where either grew up.
