SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Sixteen

[Nonlinear FC]

What's the record for tying in a single season?

[A_B]

Sure, but it was a misread instead of a clarification and like 10 people did it

I can guess!

[brian]

Might be a pain in the standings, but I could probably make an argument a tie should be counted as a tie (i.e. no "OT/tiebreaker") Probably doesn't come up enough to worry about.

[A_B]

You know, picking someone in the AL east does seem to have been a strategy I overlooked.

[mister d]

So close to picking Chris Davis but felt risky.

[L-Jam3]

You know, picking someone in the AL east does seem to have been a strategy I overlooked.

Or for that matter, picking someone whose team played in the AL the whole time.

[brian]

So close to picking Chris Davis but felt risky.

I almost said Manny Machado, but only would have "saved" myself one point. Honestly can't believe more people didn't say Ortiz.

Me too. I thought I was taking max (correct) points on that one.

[L-Jam3]

Shit. I thought Aikman started games at OU but left because of Switzer.

[A_B]

Chedda with a quick field goal and a pick six to knot it up.

[A_B]

You know, picking someone in the AL east does seem to have been a strategy I overlooked.

Or for that matter, picking someone whose team played in the AL the whole time.

Just looked it up. I did not realize it had been that long.

That's one where if I'd just thought for 60 seconds or so, would've come up with Earnhart or Petty. Used to actually kind of follow the sport back in the day.

How in the blue hell is Richard Petty a two-point answer?

[Ryan]

Before I post the scores, that was maybe my favorite week to watch the results roll in. Tons of close games. Very hilarious singles and forgotten answers. But the hidden gem was BFJ going 8 for 10 and his 2 wrong answers were El Al and Zion.

[Brontoburglar]

nooooo

htf did no one take Jameis or Deshaun?

[Shirley]

I blew it on the last two questions. Beautiful.
