Maybe the first time I knew every answer, and I pick the high pointer.

I couldn't pick him out of a lineup if he isn't horizontal.

Some long forgotten part of my brain said Eddie Shore when I saw that pic, but I didn't trust it because I wasn't sure if I was thinking of Carla's husband who got run over by a Zamboni.

You're making assumptions. Even the leftovers are fielders.

The Foxx question is a cool one. Gotta say that before I whine about the golf question which I'm dreading the results for.

I second-guessed myself and put down Kite instead of Trevino. If I had listened to my previous impulse, I’d have won my game.

Alright, I'll catch up on standings sometime Monday. Gonna go enjoy the rest of the day off (run to the landfill and Walgreens).

Coming up in Week 11 - pictures of athletes that are definitely not hockey enforcers

Sesame Street instantly came to me. Probably because I've been watching the Muppets the past year or so on Disney+.

Yep, never would have thought of Sesame Street or Jeopardy. Although Simpsons was my first thought and I talked myself out of it when I thought of SNL, seemed like a sneaky play and a show RS would value.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Fri Nov 10, 2023 2:08 pm

Lee Trevino going unmentioned is hilarious. For me, it was either Kite or Watson, and I figured Kite would get less mentions.

Post by **brian** » Fri Nov 10, 2023 2:08 pm

I call bullshit on St Elsewhere not being one of the best 50 shows of all time though.

Tom Watson was the only one I could think of besides the obvious Tiger answer. Looking at that list, just shaking my head...

The TW locked me in instantly and I knew it'd be a huge score because of that. Only other one coming to mind was Tom Hagen, and I knew that was Robert Duval's character in the Godfather. Figured it was low odds the golfer Hagen's first name started with a T or W, so I didn't just say Hagen.
