[howard]

Oh for fuckssake.

Yeah. What he said. For Canada too. Thought I was so clever there, eh?

[Ryan]

A lot of those Canadas came in this morning. It was clever for a while.

[BSF21]

I changed from Canada because I remembered how y'all are some crafty motherfuckers.

Also shoutout to my roadtrip to Columbus last weekend where I learned an HRV is not a CRV, and thus got me a sweet low pointer.

Enjoy wrecking me on the sports questions carwash.

Bunch of seal fisting commies

[BSF21]

It makes me so happy that when there is a Colt or Pacer on these lists you can guarantee Duff and I give the same answer.

[howard]

Gaylord-47 wins past age 40. Cy Young. Tommy friggin' John. I hate this game.

[howard]

How did the old guys not get this question!?

Last week they had an event honoring Gaylord, unveiled a statue of him at the ballpark. I'll blame that.

I was going to say O'Reilly but I figured some of the non-women's soccer fans would have at least heard about her farewell game last night. Apparently not.

[tennbengal]

Good lord, Connor Cook was a top 10 vote-getter last year?

[L-Jam3]

Man, fuck this game.

[howard]

I thought I was really clever with Atlanta and Julie Foudy.

Yep. Gonna be something if we play each other.

[govmentchedda]

Nice game, Shirley and Ryan.

[Brontoburglar]

Good lord, Connor Cook was a top 10 vote-getter last year?

And I swapped from Baker Mayfield thinking he'd be popular. Go figure.

[degenerasian]

bah, sports questions killed me. Did not get goodkarma

I don't even know who Baker Mayfield is...

ETA - ah, Oklahoma.

[Rush2112]

Ah. Saint-Martine/Sint-Marteen. The Friendly Island. Nice play, Rush.

Just read about this in the Winchester book I cited in the Reading Thread. Topical reading for the win!

ETA: Good game Howard, Thanks again Ryan.

[duff]

Nice game Trav. Thought no one would pick a minivan for the car question. Too bad I picked the wrong manufacturer.

[Gunpowder]

Not that it matters, but after trading out of the Orlando Pace pick, the Jets traded the Walter Jones pick to the Seahawks and took James Farrior, who was a bust but then went on to a borderline HoF career in Pittsburgh....which is the fuckin' Jets-iest thing I've ever seen. I had no idea until I looked it up after answering.

[TT2.0]

gg rass.

[mister d]

And I shit it away at the buzzer. Hoorah.



(Cliff Lee still isn't 40.)

[The Sybian]

Wasted my best game against Jerloma. I got the Chargers thinking Drew Brees. I forgot the Giants traded for Eli after the Chargers drafted him, and it was Philip Rivers, not Brees.

Damn you, WLU for going Milbrett. I thought for sure that'd be a one pointer. I completely forgot about her. I figured Foudy would be a high scorer, since she is an announcer at the World Cup and one of the cuter players of alltime.

[rass]

gg rass.

Thanks ryan.

On top of that, Brees was a 2nd round pick.

Kyle Brady is always my goto for mid-90's Jetsasms, but that's pretty damn good up there. And that was Parcells!

[mister d]

Wasted my best game against Jerloma.

[Pruitt]

AB wins (for best loss (according to his opponent))

Fuck that!

I'm appealing to the commissioner.
