NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Super Wild Card Weekend

[Ryan]

Dammitt. Not that it would've made a difference, but I mixed up Sam Rockwell with Sam Worthington. Figured those Avatar movies made shittons of cash might've put it up over the number.

There's only been 2 of them and you had to crack 2.8 billy to make the list

[L-Jam3]

How would Sam Worthington not be up there? According to wiki the two Avatars alone are at $4.1 B already.

ETA: I misread and saw only domestic gross, not worldwide.

GD it

[Ryan]

Did I miss Bloom in a marvel movie? Because honestly that blows my mind that was incorrect.

Bloom is 103rd with $1.7b

[Ryan]

I will check back for other possible errors (obviously anything would matter) but for now we have

Pruitt vs Giff
Syb vs GoodKarma

Duff vs Enoch
GPJ vs Brian

If you're too busy to post the final scores for the eliminated teams I think we'd all understand.

Yeah I missed the leading role thing you clarified. C'est la vie. Wouldn't have matter anyway! GG giff, do it for the bassi!

[Ryan]

By the way, the record for average box office according to the same chart is Danai Gurira - 5 "leading" roles at almost $540 billion a pop

Cue the "who?"

Sometimes it's not about how you play, but who you play. (sorry Rex).

After I submitted the Sabres logo, I panicked because I forgot about those horrendous banana slug logos. Turns out that was 2 logos ago, and they are back to their original 1970-96 logo that I was picturing. Somehow I forgot about the grey and black buffalo head outlined in red they had from 96-06. I even went to several games when they wore that logo.

[rass]

I had settled on Bruins or Leafs before just deciding to what the fuck with the flaming C. That's a great logo. But there was still a 50% I miss that one...

If I hadn't heard Summer of '69 in the car last night I probably wouldn't have thought of Bryan Adams and convinced myself that the dude who has one of the biggest singles of all time must be popular enough to make the list over my original choice, RS sure thing N. Young. Dammit.

[Ryan]

Which Coyotes? The head or the Kachina?

Kachina is back as the primary logo

[govmentchedda]

Congrats GPJ, and thanks again, Ryan.

Go re-read the original question

[EnochRoot]

I can't believe the Philly Flyers' logo isn't even a top ten logo. That's crap.

Yet the Kraken logo is? Given the trends with new teams and their logos, it might not even survive the 2020s. The Flyers' logo has been the same (obv some tweaks since) since the 1960s.

That said, I felt really good about Depp. His real $$$ maker was the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

[Nonlinear FC]

GG, karma!

My typical score in the 60s wasn't going to get it done this deep into the playoffs.

[Nonlinear FC]

I love Seattle's name and logo.

Holy fuck, that is embarrassing. I read the questions the day they posted and thought "good thing he put the Pens down at 11, because that was my first choice." Guess I didn't reread closely the day I actually answered the questions. Or the nagging draw towards the Sabres as I listed the best was because I read Sabres in the question. That survey clearly sucks, as most of my top choices didn't make the list.

Thanks! Got lucky this week...things were either right in my wheelhouse or we happened to answer the same thing.

[Ryan]

In some order…

Kraken
Flames
Bruins
Canadiens
Leafs
Red Wings
Flyers
Penguins
Blues
Canucks


Most are straight-up not good.

[mister d]

That's one of my least favorite questions of all-time even before the answers.

[EnochRoot]

I love Seattle's name and logo.

Sure, I mean, it's pretty cool looking, but it's also not even three years old.

[P.D.X.]

it's also not even three years old.

The Flyers logo, colors, nameplates and organization as a whole are all total horseshit. The list is very bad.

[rass]

I like the Devils' NJ mark but didn't think it was widely appreciated.

[EnochRoot]

The Flyers logo, colors, nameplates and organization as a whole are all total horseshit. The list is very bad.

IMO, The Flyers logo is easily top 20 of all four major sports. You just know it when you see it. No fixation required. YMMV obviously with the team itself.

[L-Jam3]

Are the Original Six logos so revered because they're good, or because they've never really changed? I can go either way on this argument, but I will admit that the Red Wings for my money is top 5 in all sports.

[Nonlinear FC]

I'm not being snarky, and heck, I "voted" for the Red Wings... but there was nothing in the question about longevity and I can also make the argument that using that, even subconsciously, as part of your thinking definitely can skew things.

I wouldn't say there's a lot to say about the Blackhawks logo from a design perspective, but as was just stated... You know who that is in a millisecond. Is familiarity or recognition part of what makes for a great logo?

Highly subjective, indeed.

A picture of a giant purple dick that "THIS DON'T WORK" would be very memorable too.

I would definitely argue that familiarity / recognition is a huge part of a logo’s staying power. Maybe that skews my perspective? It’s a fascinating question and regardless, these results would suggest a certain amount of recency bias.

And remember is was voted on by members of the sportslogo board. Not your run of the mill sports fans.

Seriously - maybe it's an age thing, but I figured the Bruins or Rangers would be there as well instead of the Devils and Coyotes.

[sancarlos]

I think I’m uniquely qualified to note that old does not necessarily equal good.

lol. I thought that also! I really thought Anne Murray was a sleeper there.

I originally answered Harrison Ford for Q10 which would have saved me a heart attack at the end. Gg, rass. Losing bc of home field is a tough beat. Though I’m a little mystified Arnold wasn’t a correct answer.

He’s #100, basically tied with Brie Larson.

[Rex]

I'm mostly disappointed that my performance was so close to the real thing that it may have given actual Bengals fans PTSD.

[rass]

Sorry, good game brian, and thanks turd.
