NFL SWAMPCRASH 2016 - Conference Champs (Due Fri 1-20)

[howard]

San Carlos and I should get a bonus when we are the only ones to pick an old, Bay Area related answer. We have a knack for that (although neither picked Dusty Baker. Still trying to forget the ending of the '93 season, fucking Salomon Torres.)

Exciting playoff. We'll long remember this day.

Great game, Giff. Strong to the finish. Best of luck in the Swamper Bowl.

I'm truly shocked.

Bat (1) - PDX
Donkey (1) - Wlu
Sheep (1) - Diamond
Goat (3) - DC, Giff, Pruitt
Pig (3) - Fritz, Howard, Trav
Rat (4) - BFJ, Carwash, Ljam, Shirley

Chimp - Degen
Monkey - Duff
Deer - Gunpowder

LEFTOVERS
Cow
Horse
Water Buffalo

NOTE: Bat and Rat were not on the original list but research shows they are well over the threshold

Rat is a brilliant answer. I'm a former New Yorker, and it never even crossed my mind. The ultimate non-charismatic non-megafauna. I'm surprised so many were on it.

[DC47]

damn, didn't think Shaq would be the default, figured it would be Mourning. Adrian Dantley an outstanding answer.

Dantley was a Piston. His game fascinated me. So right in my wheelhouse.

I couldn't even say where most of the guys who were right answers played with post '79 expansion teams. I imagine some were end of career cameos that were trimmed from my fading memory. Patrick Ewing, for example. And these guys were stars during the time I followed the NBA pretty closely.

I can't believe dog isn't on this list.

[P.D.X.]

Or mice.

[rass]

Yes and yes, though like bat and rat I would guess turd would have allowed them upon further review.

[Shirley]

Or mice.

I said mouse and Ryan rolled it into rat. I have to think both mouse and dog are correct answers on their own. Google says there are 78 million dogs in the US alone.

[Johnny Carwash]

San Carlos and I...fucking Salomon Torres...Exciting...day.

[degenerasian]

im surprised there are more water buffaloes then monkeys

[Ryan]

Yes dog was on the list

[Gunpowder]

There are 32 million deer in the US alone, says the internet. Not that it matters or I care, just sayin'.

Ranker.com lets anyone submit their own list or suggest that items be moved up or down from their current rank

Buddy Holly & the Crickets - Sancarlos

Silly old man. Buddy Holly fans are all dead, or too old to know how to use the internet.

(coming from the guy who answered Stefi Graf on the tennis question). I was in complete disbelief, went back and looked at her world rankings by year, then reread the question 20 times). I suck.

I think we learned WorldAtlas.com is not a reliable source of information.

Well as I said upthread, I misread the question. Thought it was based on a critic poll, not a user poll. Personally I sure wouldn't rank them that high, but I thought the critics might.

My bad, didn't read all the posts. Insult withdrawn.
