I thought of Dimitry Terr(yn) since he is sort of cute and (yn=in), but I don't think I am right with that.
Besides, I won't suggest this, because then I will be called a gutterbrain again.:frown:

7. Last name of a former quarterback that was a pro star in both Canada and the US together with the first (nick)name of a former college football coach.
Correct George!

7. be a moron, silly
'silly' indicates there's an anagram involved - jumble 'be a moron' to get moonbear.

And for George's response, I believe he's talking about Warren Moon and Paul "Bear" Bryant
 
Who do you think we are to solve these man, Ken Jennings?

I guess I wasn't as obscure as I thought. :biggrin:
Not to someone that knows the answer (and a little bit about football - can't help it, I'm a Buckeye).

11. Only a resumé? O, that's strange!

The next one is a wee bit of a stretch...so be warned.

12. It flows through an Ouroboros.
 
Look at his Icon, the thing flows into itself as it goes round and round, you gutterbrain.
 
11. Only a resumé? O, that's strange

Couldn't have been closer! But sorry, no cigar.

As for Perennial's avatar, I'll let you have half a point for that (or half a pint, whichever you prefer) - but it's not anywhere near as obscure as the answer I intend for it.

PS : loseyourname is correct, George. By the way, I now dub thee, Sir George!
