Q10 description is from 9.

And the tennis one was from the previous.

That's why I lost.

I should have used the mom answer for real.

I messaged Sabo that I hated this set. I was proven correct.

The NFC is a real flustercuck

So I still don't have questions from people for the rest of the year, including I think 1 from next week which is why I didn't get any live action going. I'll be subbing in my own questions from here on out if I don't get anything.

See you Monday

If you're willing to take a third question from someone, and especially if that someone happens to play one of the deadbeats, let someone know.

I didn't pick it, because who stores Honeycrisps? You eat them apples! Actually, I was afraid they are still too new to be that popular, and I wasn't sure what the question really meant.

Is the Wooden Award like the Heisman, where everyone knows who wins it and it's a big deal? I knew what the award was, but even when I followed college basketball, I don't think I knew who'd get the award.

OK seriously what was with the tennis Q though. Is Sanchez Vicario someone I should know because somehow Navertalova was a GD one point answer?

GG Non-linear! Win #2! Storming back!

I had Gala, thought it was too obvious, went to Granny Smith, thought it was too obvious, then picked a wrong answer. Classic BSF crash strategy there.

I'm more than willing to come up with more golf or Olympics questions.

Got a par on this one...and had the person I was playing with drive the cart into a bunker many holes later

I'd also like to shout out this season of Survivor for being all winners and reminding me of a bunch of seasons I had not rewatched in quite some time.

Once again, my lack of attention to detail cost me points. I don't know why I tend to rush through my answers on a WED or TH. I need to just let them sit and re-read them the next day or something.

But, even with a few better answers... Good game BroSeF!

I’m glad seven other people thought they had an amazing answer by remembering Sanchez-Vicario.

For me, it was either her or Navratilova. As usual, I chose the wrong one.

Sorry, sorry ... sorry ...

Had I known watching more than one episode of Survivor in my life would have quite possibly paid off in defeating Diamond, I probably would have still only watched one episode of Survivor in my life.

Dsafe, watching tv moons ago: Man, this Survivor show sucks.

***Changes channel to Millionaire***

Dsafe: Ooh, I bet I could beat that guy in a trivia contest.

I had to double-check on Gabby Sabatini because she seemed like a right answer due to stereotypes and all - but only two Grand Slam finals in her entire career (Wimbledon and US). 9 other semifinal appearances, though.

And, yeah, I thought that about most contestants I saw on Millionaire.

Just maybe a little salty about my fifth straight loss (pretty sure I lost my bye week, too) because my performance was way better than I expected to do against one of the elites.

Side question - anyone in your neck of the woods making Honeycrisp vodka? My wife picked up a bottle that 1911 makes and it was pretty darn good.

I swear to g-d that random video from the 1975 Grammys I posted was a reference from a podcast I listened to on my walk this AM and the fact that 3 correct answers to question #5 are featured is a coincidence.

Though I did watch the video this morning prior to actually reading the questions and answering them so seeing Elton John's huge head was fresh in my mind.

I originally was going to answer The Rolling Stones and switched to The Who. I would have won my game if I had stuck with it.

This game has left me drained.

Epic battle Gunpowder - and extreme kudos for knowing Red Deer.
