I lost by 25 to a guy who hasn't watched sports in 25 years.

Aargh. Betrayed by Natalie merchant.
Nice game and great final answer.
I really should know every one of those Gator answers, but Kevin was all I had. My other options were Jalen Carter and Nakobe Dean. Looks like I picked the right one.

I only knew it from the light house and the old Links 386 golf game for the PC.

I still watch NFL and EPL games! I've heard people saying the Knicks suck for well the last 20 years, so figured that was safe. Golf I had 3 answers before looking at the pics, and after looking I had the same 3, with a 50% confidence in which picture was St. Andrews, and no idea about the other two. In past years when Ryan kept stats for sports vs non-sports, I was usually in the top 5-10 for non sports, bottom 5 for sports. I was just lucky this week asked for older sports answers.
Thanks for the leniency on Shrek. I checked a couple answers, and saw Shrek was way beyond the most recent, hoped you'd give credit for Puss N Boots as a spinoff. And I was so proud of myself for coming up with Warren Sapp, only to see he didn't go to Florida or get drafter early enough.

No garlic? I guess Olive Garden isn’t very Italian.
Right? That one blows my mind! And then... it doesn't.
Fettucine Alfredo doesn't usually include garlic. From Serious Eats, the ingredients are:
10 ounces of dried egg fettuccine
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 ounces butter
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper

I never cared much for Alfredo sauce, anyway, so I’m somewhat unfamiliar with its ingredients, but I thought everything Italian had garlic. (Also surprised not to see any cheese in that recipe). Learn something new every day!

Most of the good players play for Harbor United.
This is a good joke.
Very funny indeed!
Thanks Ryan

Great. Ten of us were like "okay, who's been a shitty team over the last decade or so? The Hornets sucked most of that time."
I think the Pistons might literally have ZERO wins since 2010.

Also I missed a minus 1 (not that I’m complaining) because I couldn’t identify a golf course five miles from my house.

When you run the query on Stathead for playoff wins by team, you get 29 results. Can't even register.

10,000 Maniacs was probably the best Unplugged—just a masterclass—but a little too indie to be on a list like that.

I feel like I saw their Unplugged video for “Because the Night” around 10,000 times during my college years.

The best way to play seems to be knowing one or two answers. I knew two potential answers for the first question. Last week I knew one or two for pretty much every question and I had a great week.

Lack of depth has definitely helped me in the past.
