The FJ questions have been right in my zone lately. I'm expecting some questions on soccer and the mid 80s- mid 90s Mets and Islanders questions.

J-board hasn't done a very good job of spoiling FJ lately. I was only half-right on this one.

howard · Post by **howard** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 7:00 pm

JBoard seems to post the answer between 8 and 9pm eastern most days. Most days someone will mention the answer in a post a bit earlier. Today there is a post that alludes to the answer, but doesn't explicitly state it.

Fuck, I guessed the one I didn't know, and didn't bother to think about it. I totally knew the younger one. I must have heard the older one at some point, but forgot it and it popped into my head. Never would have guessed his name was Leslie King.
