NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 1

[sancarlos]

I didn't know one guy in those damn pictures.

I only knew the one I got.

[L-Jam3]

I psyched myself out not going for Charlie Garner thinking everyone would remember he started in Philly.

Would have been interesting to make the question "Besides Tony and Melfi, give the CHARACTER name of anyone with more than 1,000 spoken lines of dialogue on The Sopranos

[A_B]

I didn't know one guy in those damn pictures.

I only knew the one I got.

Same.

[L-Jam3]

Ouch. That last one was disastrous to get wrong.

I was gonna guess KSA but figured everyone would.

Um spoiler alert??

[Ryan]

Yeah sorry

[Giff]

That's OK. Didn't realize it was a spoiler I just thought my math was wrong somehow.

I've been burned three times recently by not going with an obvious Houston/Texas answer. AB would be crying in his bourbon had I picked Lizzo or Yao.

[rass]

Thanks ryan!

(you left my name off the wrong answer list for USA in Q8)

And I forget who Tony's friend was, but tell him I said good game.

[GoodKarma]

I don’t know who Tony is, but he’s having a tough day.

He's my friend/neighbor...he's on the young side so he hasn't built up the ridiculous amounts of useless knowledge the rest of us have.

[mister d]

Really wish Ripken had been a (26) rather than a (14).

[Gunpowder]

Sleepwalking through the 2nd half

I think that's my best half ever immediately followed by my worst half ever

[Shirley]

The soccer question fucking killed me.

[Jerloma]

I forgot Ewing is Jamaican. That was almost a great guess.

I read that question as being any US player not on teams from 1992-2008, which I see now is wrong. Ewing was on the 84 team.

GG, Duff. Sloppy for sure but not as sloppy as me!

[Ryan]

The soccer question fucking killed me.

Me too, only because the list is pretty volatile and they seem to update it at least weekly? I was ready to accept Azerbaijan, which is 124th now. New Zealand also was in and out of the list since I wrote the question.

[duff]

GG, Duff. Sloppy for sure but not as sloppy as me!

Yeah, it was a sloppy first week. Not remembering Argentina is in South America was a real brain fart for me. And I wavered between Dr. Melfie and Janice. Should have gone with my first instinct on Janice. Oh well. Good game.

[The Sybian]

Damn what a move to go with "running back most in the news in the last 2 months" for the 1 pointer

I don't know shit about college football post 1998. Ron Dayne is literally the only player I could name.

[The Sybian]

I was overly cocky in thinking I knew all but one pictured player (it was Garner, forgot he was an Eagle). I was wrong on Orlandis Gary, can’t remember who I thought it was.

[L-Jam3]

Who was the guy after Bonds? Vizquel? I figured Griffey played in 4 decades and it would've been him.

[DSafetyGuy]

Just excited to have become the answer to a Swampcrash trivia question.

[sancarlos]

I was wrong on Orlandis Gary, can’t remember who I thought it was.

Mike Anderson? Reuben Droughns? Gaston Green? Bobby Humphrey?

[Ryan]

Who was the guy after Bonds? Vizquel? I figured Griffey played in 4 decades and it would've been him.

Yes, Vizquel for 5 seasons - the longest stretch since Yaz.

[GoodKarma]

I was wrong on Orlandis Gary, can’t remember who I thought it was.

Mike Anderson? Reuben Droughns? Gaston Green? Bobby Humphrey?

Better than me...my first and only thought was Steve Sewell

[EnochRoot]

I couldn't get the video to launch, so I went with Barry Word (felt good about his chances, though surprised Okoye didn't hit a thousand yards. I thought they both did one year.

Also, I swore there were a few King James'. Turns out there was, but the first few were of the Scottish variety.

[EdRomero]

Hooray for soccer. I wimped out of guessing James Whitenfor Wisconsin, but I smartly wimped out on guessing the pictured Patriots running back was Leanord Russell.

[HaulCitgo]

Yes ed. I am taking this too seriously to be 1-0 against the only team I would have beat and sat with the guy a few years back and still had Leonard Russell on the master list of answers.

[The Sybian]

I was wrong on Orlandis Gary, can’t remember who I thought it was.

Mike Anderson? Reuben Droughns? Gaston Green? Bobby Humphrey?

I threw away my scrap paper, can't remember. I'm thinking may have written Terrell Davis, but I know (in this moment) he wore #30. The video didn't work on my phone on the Swamp, but it worked when I opened it in Google Drive or on my computer.

[sancarlos]

Steve Sewell wore #30.

Reminds me of a funny story. Back when Steve Sewell was playing for the Broncos, my youngest brother sat next to him on a plane flight during the off-season. My brother didn’t know or care anything about pro football. He said he chatted with the guy through the whole flight, and then near the end, asked him what he did for a living. The guy chuckled and said I figured you knew that. I play for the Broncos. My brother said, well, can you tell me your name because my brothers will ask me who I talked to? He said Sewell said he appreciated that somebody would chat with him not knowing or guessing he was a football player.
