NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 5

[The Sybian]

One for Mbappé, two for Henry, and zero for Benzema.

Probably the first 3 names I wrote down. Bergkamp is my all-time favorite player, but didn't make my list. Too worried he was capped before 1990.

[rass]

Just to make sure, I was Molina. Not sure if I was listed twice or that's someone else on Berra (GD it).

[L-Jam3]

Having a mental block there helped, Yuli Gurriel was the only Y-guy I could think of.

[govmentchedda]

I've got Sears wish list item #3 in my garage right now. The "Electric Football" game with Home and Away painted in the endzone.

[Ryan]

Great pull, Romero!

Having a mental block there helped, Yuli Gurriel was the only Y-guy I could think of.

I had a mental block on the guy I was trying to think of and couldn't in Yunel Escobar because I knew atleast Bronto would take Yuniesky.

Obligatory...

Fuck Vince Carter.

[mister d]

OMG

Immediately thought "not Applebees everyone will say that". Just...holy shit.

I thought Applebees was going to end up a decoy and that would be like CVS.

[mister d]

I think my brain died on the last one ... I was thinking of eastern players of a certain era and then just kinda forgot McGrady was actually on Orlando.

[GoodKarma]

Wow this was a total bloodbath…

[L-Jam3]

Alonzo and his stupid bad kidneys...

[rass]

GFD Rex

[Ryan]

Duff with a big comeback to join Syb at 5-0. They both play winless teams next week so there's lots of matchups in the middle coming up in W6. Also, two picture questions! Questions will go up Monday despite the holiday.

[Brontoburglar]

I wish I could hang out with Bronto for the reveal on our big game, tomorrow. We could enjoy a couple Buds and some St. Louis-style pizza while Ryan gave us the answers. It would be just fine!

the irony of the margin of the game being determined by you picking a cardinals player...

[Ryan]

The most wild thing about that list to me - Nowitzki and Duncan were 20 and 21

ETA:

Joe Johnson was 13. Mourning 28. Udonis 236th (but 5th in minutes!)

[Shirley]

I fucking KNEW I was getting too cute on Q10 and it might cost. I blew it.

[Shirley]

The most wild thing about that list to me - Nowitzki and Duncan were 20 and 21

Can you post the list?

The only other Y I could think of was Yogi Berra, but I talked myself out of it because I was worried he’d be officially listed under his given name of Lawrence Peter Berra. But, what really lost me the game was getting cute on the Michael Douglas question instead of taking the layup. Good match, Bronto. This Bud’s for you!

[A_B]

I left points out there. GG hoodie.

[DaveInSeattle]

Good chuckle at Yarry Bonds.

I just couldn't dredge anything up from my memory.

[Pruitt IV]

Good chuckle at Yarry Bonds.

I just couldn't dredge anything up from my memory.

My baseball knowledge post 2000 is very surface-level. Yogi Berra was the only one I could think of and even then I was pretty sure the answer wouldn't count since it was a nickname.

[EnochRoot]

VOWELLLLLLS!

Q4 - Among players whose national team careers started since 1990, name anyone with at least 30 goals in international play for either the Netherlands or France men's soccer teams (14)

CORRECT

Kylian Mbappe (1) - Enoch
Klaas-Jan Hunterlaar (1) - Mister D
Patrick Kluivert (1) - Sancarlos
Thierry Henry (2) - Jerloma, Rush
David Trezeguet (2) - Bronto, Syb
Ruud van Nistelrooy (3) - AB, CItgo, PDX
Olivier Giroud (3) - Rass, Shirley, Trav
Arjen Robben (4) - Cerrano, Chedda, GPJ, Pruitt
Robin van Persie (6) - Bengal, Carwash, DiS, LJam, Nonlinear, Rex
Zinedine Zidane (6) - BFJ, BSF, Duff, Giff, Romero, Tony

INCORRECT (11)
Kevin de Bruyne - DSafe
Johan Cruyff - GoodKarma

LEFTOVERS
Antoine Grizemann
Karim Benzema
Memphis

Mbappe was the only player I could even think of, and that's because of the clinic he put on in the WC last December. I'm familiar with Henry and Zidane, but only because I see them listed here.

It's another example of there's just no explaining this game - cuz Mbappe should've been a popular pick, but the rush to avoid picking him allowed me to 'score' a single point.

And then the one about a SF 49er? I thought I was being sly with Roger Craig

[mister d]

That was my favorite question. I had Huntelaar in a world cup pool back in 2010 when I was just a burgeoning soccer fan.



(In my memory, he scored more than once but I assume I just reacted loudly when he did. Definitely remember learning that betting odds for goalscorers didn't imply they were starters.)

[travzilla]

Q3 - Name any of the words depicted below that, like Appletini or Keytar, represent an example of a portmanteau (9)

INCORRECT (13)
Camera - Trav

LEFTOVERS
none

Definitely mis-read this one and thought I needed one of the root words. Wife and I spent a good amount of time trying to decide if "dunking" or "kangaroo" was the better answer.

[Gunpowder]

Just no explaining this game

I assumed UCF and South Florida would both be high point answers

[HaulCitgo]

Best part was learning the pronunciation of portmanteau

[govmentchedda]

Just no explaining this game

I assumed UCF and South Florida would both be high point answers

Same

[Ryan]

Especially after finding out that 93% of all swampers have seen the entire highway

[The Sybian]

Just no explaining this game

I assumed UCF and South Florida would both be high point answers

I thought the Holy War was Boston College v Notre Dame, but was saved by intrastate being in the answer. Just hoped crabs had to include Maryland, otherwise I had nothing.
