I was reading an article a few weeks ago discussing how Tom Brady would be effected by the rule that all players will have to be in approved helmets and I remember the article mentioning the answer to your question. My spelling could be off but I think it’s Dick Plassman?
BeerPoisoning is correct! It was Chicago Bears end Dick Plasman.

1) 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year- DeMarcus Nelson
2) Second in Assists- Chris Duhon
3) 2001 Elite 8- USC, who was a six seed that knocked off Kentucky in the Sweet 16. Much was made about the last Duke championship won in 1992 and that if the Blue Devils won the 2001 championship they would take the same route as they did in 1992. Many experts felts that Duke and Kentucky would meet in the Elite 8 in Philadelphia.
4) #24- Johnny Dawkins
5) Third leading scorer in 2006- Josh McRoberts right behind JJ Redick and Shelden Williams

I was torn between Josh McRoberts and Jon Schyer as the third leading scorer as I thought the question could have been a little misleading given the year. I went with McRoberts because Schyer was a freshman in 2006-2007.
MLB Expansion
In 1998, Major League Baseball added two new teams, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Name the starting pitcher for both clubs on opening day.

Yeah I was for sure referring to 05-06 and not 06-07. I reckon I could have been a bit more clear lol. Glad you got it anyway.
Without a doubt you may be the best sports trivia player on this board. I think you know just about every question ask and you can come up with some of the most difficult questions. There was a sports trivia show on ESPN several years ago. I can't remember the name of it but I think Stuart Scott and the object was to beat the guru that was on the show. The guru was unbelievable. Hardly ever got beat. You should have been a contestant on that show. OFC
"
The show was called "Stump The Schwab . " The Schwab was Howie Schwab and a few people did beat him. Good show. billieball would have done well. OFC
Oh Sky btw, the question I asked several weeks ago of a Yankee who later coached college baseball. Yes Scott Brosius was technically the answer, but I was really looking for this guy I thought you would know....
60s 2nd Sacker Bobby Richardson later coached at South Carolina.

I gave up and looked at the answers yesterday. I've heard of both of the pitchers, but I honestly don't think most people remember these pitchers on the expansion team. You might need to offer some hints - or simply ask another question and say whoever gets either question first wins the round.
billieball is tough. I don't even attempt to even guess. I just look it up. He's a trivia master. He must have a job in the sports business. He gets a lot of the tougher questions asked here also. I'm just gonna saying uncle and look it up. OFC
I watched it everyday and also watched Sports Jeopardy on NBC Sports Network and on Crackle.
Who Am I?
I scored the first five points for Duke in the 1991 National Championship game against Kansas.

Hoops is probably right, but just for fun I will pick a guy who played his last game as a Blue Devil that nite:Billy McCaffery

Not Grant Hill....he scored the seventh point and we all remember that basket!
Greg Koubek is correct! Koubek, a senior co-captain playing in his fourth Final Four, scored the first five points but never scored another point after his tip in basket off a Christian Laettner miss.
acc hoops is up
3 part question.

Hint: 2nd answer is pitcher w a team that the outfielder once played for.
