The company that made the Garbage Pail Kids calendars didn't produce one for 2026. Therefore, that hope was dashed. As for the Colts one - I was gifted the '25 edition. It was one of my favourite presents from Christmas 2024, and one I obviously used every day (other than Sundays!) last year. I didn't want to blemish that fond memory I carry from that gift by buying my own a year later. I know how odd that might come across.
I'm not ruling out buying a Colts calendar of my own in future. I simply felt I couldn't do it in 2025. But.. with all that said... I found the best alternative:
I was told by my father to find some things on Amazon for him to buy for me. Well, I knew I needed a box calendar, so looked around and came across 'A Year of Football Trivia 2026'.
It's such a perfect pick, if I say so myself. It allows me to continue tearing off pages and uncovering American football stuff.
As you'll see below, the first trivia question of the year was about college football, so it isn't restricted to only covering the pro version of the sport.
The answers are on the reverse of each page. I have settled on a fun approach: read the question and then spend the rest of the day thinking about it. I will then find out the answer the following morning after tearing off the page. I then get another question to think about before the following morning.
Today's question lists five NFL owners from 1976. I am now tasked with having to line each respective name with the one of five franchises listed on the sheet. I have a good feeling I have three of them correct, but need to consider which teams the other two gentlemen owned.
It would be somewhat amusing if I ended up going 3-2. Especially after what I wrote yesterday.
Throughout this post, I dropped in a couple of 'Other than Sundays!' in parenthesis. That's because, as is often the case with box calendars, weekends appear on one page.
As you can see, in the photo immediately above, the sheet for last weekend had a quote from then Las Vegas Raiders coach - Antonio Peirce. I was going to write 'previous Las Vegas Raiders head coach - Antonio Pierce' but that is no longer accurate due to Pete Carroll getting the chop yesterday. I surmise other pages for Saturdays and Sundays will consist of quotations rather than trivia. Time will prove whether that prediction is right or not.
So far, it has been enjoyable to use this calendar. I miss having to use the other two, but - as noted already - it's a perfect alternative.
