Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 16
I've mentioned it before, but I almost never pay attention to athlete numbers. I just recognize the shape and movements of the players instead. So for that question, I had to try to recognize the team progression by the colors. The only one I came up with was Mills.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 16
And I was down in the first half, got the highest answer on the next 4 Qs and still won. It's a crazy game, for sure. Bummed I pussed out answering Penguin on the mascot question. I was going to say Sabretooth tiger because the Sabres used to have one. Would have gotten 2 points for the wrong reason. Somehow on my list of NBA players, they were all wrong except the one I answered, who happened to be the only white guy. Not sure what that says about me...

I tried very hard to give that game back in the second half. 19 points in the first and finished with 63. Yikes.

Looking over the standings… if this was a rotisserie league, I’d be in 9th place out of the 32. But, I’m 6-9, which is tied for the 20th best record.
