I had no idea the Bowling Hall of Fame moved from St. Louis.

Thanks for knowing even less about stuff than me, Mr. D!

[Ryan]

[The Sybian]

Is it me, or were these the hardest sports questions ever? Probably me, as I realize I'm not confident I can name a single current MLB manager. I used to watch 100+ Mets games a year, and I have no clue who their manager is. I only know 1 hall of fame, because I was dragged there while visiting a friend.

Holy fuck, I got a 14 on the sports questions, 8 of them on 1 questions! I thought Dr. J would have been an even bigger score, but he was the only guy I knew played in the ABA, still not sure which picture is him.

I also forgot about 2 cities close to me, and I even mentioned Jersey City in a post a few hours before I looked at the questions.

Loved the German question, even though I only figured out 4 or 5 of them. Schadenfreude has to be a borderline Jordan answer.
