      Trivia Answer: It was 1962! Modern fantasy football can be traced back to Wilfred "Bill" Winkenbach, an Oakland, California businessman and limited partner in the Oakland Raiders. In a New York City hotel room during a 1962 Raiders cross-country trip, Winkenbach, Raiders public relations employee Bill Tunnel, and Oakland Tribune reporter Scotty Stirling developed the rules that would eventually become the basis of modern fantasy football.

      The inaugural league was called the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL), and the first draft took place in Winkenbach's home in Oakland in August 1963.[6] The league consisted of eight members: administrative affiliates of the American Football League, pro football journalists, and individuals who had purchased or sold 10 season tickets for the Raiders' 1963 season. Each roster consisted of two quarterbacks, four halfbacks, two fullbacks, four wide receivers or tight ends, two return specialists, two kickers, two defensive backs or linebackers, and two defensive linemen. The scoring system was entirely dependent on real-life scoring, and[a] The original system rewarded 25 points for a touchdown pass, rush, or reception, 25 for a field goal, 10 for an extra point, and 200 for a kickoff, punt, or interception that was returned for a touchdown. As of 2015, the GOPPPL was still active and had maintained the original scoring system.

      Football Trivia - After that long game, the NFL took a big break from Christmas day games, not playing another until 1989 when last year's Super Bowl AFC reps, the Cincinnati Bengals, played the Minnesota Vikings. The Bengals, needing a win to make the playoffs, lost 29-21 to the Vikings, who clinched a spot with their win.

      Non-Football Trivia - In 1955, a misprinted phone number went to a NORAD phone, and the Colonel on duty decided to answer the kids' questions about where Santa was the next year after such a positive public relations coup for the agency it was decided to continue the efforts and thus every since NORAD has been tracking Santa.
