[The Sybian]

Too many EDM-listening tea-drinkers in here I reckon.

Didn't make the tea connection (I should have) and no idea what the EDM connection is, but I used to get a Goan fish dish at an Indian restaurant.

[Ryan]

Alright, form a line and lemme know if any of these wrongs seem to actually be right. I wouldn't start with the airline that literally takes a day off, though.

LEFTOVERS

Daniel Ortega

The only correct answer that I'm even familiar with is Ortega.

[The Sybian]

I never realized Helmut Kohl looked like Gorbachev without the birthmark on his forehead. Couldn't figure that one out. Also fun that I had 5 of the given wrong answers on my scrap paper. Glad I played it safe, although Ortega was my next choice.

[Jerloma]

1 out of 5 on the back! Awesome.

[Ryan]

[Nonlinear FC]

Holy shit!

Buffalo with a major upset over the Cowboys! 1 point game. Barn burner!

GG duff... that was wild to follow along with...

[Rex]

Is Air India not daily? I think it's otherwise right. I don't care, but with so many scholars of India here, I thought some of them might want to know.

[Ryan]

Both top seeds lose this week to fall into ties atop their conference, but each retains their #1 spot due to conference record tiebreaks. And yet again we have 3 teams fighting for 2 spots at the bottom of each conference with a fourth team just a game out

AFC
1. Pruitt
2. AB
3. Syb
4. Nonlinear
5. Giff
6 and 7. Two of Karma, Bengal, Rex

9. Rush

NFC
1. Duff
2. Bronto
3. GPJ
4. Brian
5. Enoch
6 and 7. Two of Mister D, Chedda, Carwash

9. Rass

Wow, Bartolo Colon

What was Cerrano's answer, Schilling? I thought I won when I didn't see Cerrano with a correct answer, then I saw the final score. Great game Cerrano!

[mister d]

It speaks poorly of me that I couldn't name a single world leader (I've heard of 4 of the right answers!) but swept the MLB trade question 10/10. Rolen was the only one I wasn't 100% on.

[Pruitt IV]

FUCK! Just checked - El Al doesn't fly on Shabbos.

My Mother would not be pleased that I lost because of Halakha laws.

Nice win Chedda!

Sorry, yep

[Ryan]

Next week - AB vs Bengal! Rush hanging by a thread but facing Duff! Rass vs Chedda! Bronto vs GPJ! Brian vs Carwash! 2.5 picture questions! Another travel-y question! Other things that I won't mention because you'll just study them!

Also, looking ahead it's very likely that we'll take the week of Christmas off and return on Jan 2.

[Gunpowder]

It speaks poorly of me that I couldn't name a single world leader (I've heard of 4 of the right answers!) but swept the MLB trade question 10/10. Rolen was the only one I wasn't 100% on.

It's not the foreign relations frog

[Gunpowder]

What a great week to be playing against Tony!

[duff]

Holy shit!

Buffalo with a major upset over the Cowboys! 1 point game. Barn burner!

GG duff... that was wild to follow along with...

Your knowledge of world leaders that were in control before I had hair on my balls is impressive. As is your knowledge of women kicking balls. Only knew the two Americans and Marta.

Didn't hurt that the German was also a goalie, so in my sphere of shit I pay attention to. My other one was going to be Sawa, so I had that one in the pocket.

The only correct answer that I'm even familiar with is Ortega.

This is where being old helps (although I thought his name was Joseph Mobutu.).

I'm going to need 11 of you to swear you never met my mom.

I can’t believe none of these other jokers bit on the low-hanging fruit, but, - we all know your mom!

[mister d]

You probably went to school with her ; P

Good game. Mostly mad at Delta. I should have gotten that. Knew NYC airports major delta hubs but flawed seeing no 747 but Airbus likely longer. Still live in 1986. Second guess was Korean air but somehow got to qantas thinking 11+

[DaveInSeattle]

FUCK! Just checked - El Al doesn't fly on Shabbos.

I didn't think of that part at all. I was more worried about if El Al flew out of JFK or LaGuardia...I couldn't remember which one my daughter left from back in the summer.
