They are also the only team averaging over 300 yards passing (316.8) and 150 yards rushing (181.8) a game as well. No team has done that since 1941, when the Bears led a total of NINE categories to win the NFL Championship. Apocalypse Alert: Could the Best Team in the NFL be the Lions??? The Lions are 5-1 for the first time since 2011, and this win was the Lions' fourth straight by more than 14 points for the first time since 1969. They have held every opponent to under 100 rushing yards through the first six games of a season, which hasn’t happened since...1932! Pop Culture Trivia Answer – Beyoncé has the most Grammys with 32 trophies to her name. Taylor needs to win 20 more to pass her! Second, Sir Georg Solti, an orchestral and operatic conductor, has 31 Grammy wins. The Hungarian-born Solti led an amazing life. He fled his native Hungary in the Second World War (he was Jewish) and taught piano in Switzerland, where he wasn’t allowed to conduct (again Jewish). He had to win the Geneva International Piano Competition even to be allowed to teach piano to survive! After the war, with most of the major German conductors having been members of the Nazi party, he got the job of the conductor of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. This started his journey of recording and winning Grammys. Solti's most celebrated recording was Wagner's The Ring, made in Vienna. It has twice been voted the greatest recording ever made, the first poll being among readers of Gramophone magazine in 1999, and the second of professional music critics in 2011, for the BBC's Music Magazine. He passed in 1997 at 85, and several major classic music awards are named for him. Oh, where are the Beatles on this list, you ask??? Only 7 Grammys and they were beaten out of Grammys by the likes of The Girl from Ipanema (I Want to Hold Your Hand), A Taste of Honey (Yesterday), and Blood, Sweat & Tears (Abby Road), with the final indignity of Hey Jude losing Song of the Year to something called Little Green Apples. So, the Grammy’s can be weird…
