Musgraves was a total guess because she's the cutest.
Probably my lowest score of the year WITH the idiocy of the basketball answer. Fucking Hell.
And yes on Wings. Knew it was going to be a popular answer. Thought Cheers might be an MJ... wrong.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
I tied for the lowest score of the week! In the history of this game, I don't think I've ever done that! And off two 1-pointers I I thought would be wrong or killers. I guessed Willie Nelson because I don't know current country singers, and I thought if there was a gymnast on the list, everyone would know him/her, but it was a safe sport to guess.
The double AB for Charles Barley should have been me, but it looks like Ryan added it in correctly. Thanks Ryan, GG GK.
I really wanted to say Wings, but someone just mentioned the show a few days ago (Thomas Hayden Church reference). After submitting I looked up the answers, and I didn't think The Practice made the list.

I didn't really watch Dawson's Creek, but I've been to Wilmington where references to that show being filmed down there are sprinkled about the area. I just assumed it was based there, so that answer was interesting.

Been looking for a house in wilmington and they keep referencing one tree hill. never seen it.
Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
Good game Mystery Tony, and thanks as always Ryan, glad that my standard answers of Red Sox players and Lake Placid led to some low scores.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I always thought the show was set in North Carolina.
ETA: never mind…Wilmington, NC, I assumed DE when I read Wilmington.

I loved this question. Several I thought I knew the city, but didn't know the river. And I was confident on the Seine, which was wrong.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
If it makes you feel better, I thought about answering NH because I visited the New England Ski Museum in Franconia Notch which had a lot of stuff about Bode Miller, but I wimped out because of the years restriction and went with the most popular answer.
Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
I said it before and I’ll say it again. I have no idea how Wings was on for as long as it was. It seemed so generic.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
Agree 100%. I might have seen two episodes.
I felt the same way about "Night Court" and "Family Matters." I always wondered who would be excited that after a long week of waiting, "Wings" was finally on.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
Was something good on before it, and people just kept the channel on? I don't think it's any different than 90% of sitcoms; a setting with a meaningless plot and a couple quirky characters to flower in a zinger every 90 seconds.

There’s also a book(!) I recently just read called “Bottom Of The 33rd Inning”. Highly recommended.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 1:01 pm Pawtucket is a bad beat. Trying to remember.. were they part of the longest game ever?

YEP! Pawtucket versus the Rochester Red Wings.
There's a very good 30 for 30 podcast on that game, if anyone's looking for a good one off to listen to...

He had to play in the most playoff games in the 90s, no? I figured that and the fact he always seemed to have a half dozen boards a game made a great choice.Ryan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 1:19 pm Q6 - Name anyone with more PLAYOFF rebounds during the 1990s than Shaquille O'Neal's 730 (12)

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
I got a question wrong too. That was just a lucky week. The Lions fandom got me what I was pretty sure would be a 1-pointer for Schwartz.

IMO Wings had a great premise, but I'm not sure the writing was up to the challenge. That said, Tim Daly was too blah (Steven Weber was only slightly better) and the short order cook girlfriend was annoying AF. Tony Shaloub was legendary as the cab driver. Lowell was good too. I guess Roy was as well. But Wings should get credit for having the perfect character actress slotted in as their ticket agent, Fay (Evelyn Schlob Dumbly DeVay) Cochran, played by Rebecca Schull. She was hilarious with her deadpan comedy.

She should be in the Margo Martindale Character Actress Hall of Fame.
GG Enoch. Not going to mention that I would have won 13 of the other matchups.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
She really should. I don't know that I even noticed her before she voiced herself on Bojack Horseman and Todd said, "It's esteemed character actor Margo Martindale!" That line cracked me up, so I looked to see who she was. I may have started watching The Americans already, but then Justified, Cocaine Bear and several other shows where she popped up. I think of Todd saying that every time she appears onscreen.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 8:48 pmShe should be in the Margo Martindale Character Actress Hall of Fame.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
He “retired” atleast once inside that timespan so probably second behind Pippen at the very least?
Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
Don’t forget Pippen’s playoff games with the Rockets!

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 13
Got Nonlinear against Bengal in week 14 and Bengal against Rex in week 17.
Right now their records against each other are:
GIff: 2-1 (beat Bengal in weeks 6 and 8, lost to Nonlinear in week 10)
Nonlinear: Won against Giff week 10, not sure what happened in week 9 against Rex - who won that one?
Rex: Week 9 above and week 17 game
Bengal: 0-2 with two more games (week 14 and 17)
If this tie held, Bengal would have to win in week 17 against Rex or he's likely the odd man out
EDIT: Would need to double check but I do believe this is the first tiebreaker and if you can eliminate one team this way, that's how you do it.
