The Swamp

Sorry for the delay, was busy n shit.

Anyway here's the final set of questions. I'd like to do this on Friday so try to get them back by Friday at noon eastern time. If people can't do that I'll push it back to early next week but I must warn you that if that occurs, we're going to be forced to pay extra to Jon Secada.




1. Name a RETIRED* NFL QB who had a career of 15 or more seasons and spent them all with one franchise. *ie don't say Aaron Rodgers (10)

James Garfield

Just want to say that despite what the media is saying - almost every single person actually - I do respect my opponent

When Secada wants to hit the town you don't say no. Heard you guys closed down the Chartroom Lounge.

That's just another day for Ryan.

"Couldn't fill a measuring cup if you spotted him the piss"

That article was worth another day waiting for the questions.

I always thought Tuppak Shuqur knew snitches get stitches.

In.

Kinda wild that there are 10 QBs who meet that criteria.

This is a cool set of questions.

Confession time, never realized Singapore was an island, I always thought it was connected to Malaysia, but there is a strait separating it from Malaysia. I started to type that the auto-content made sense, because GPJ wouldn't call Singapore an island. Then I Googled, and I'll be damned!

Yeah Johor Bahru, Malaysia is right across a bridge and basically serves as a manufacturing/industrial area that wouldn't fit in Singapore. IIRC at least

Apologize. IN.

There should be an all star game where all the questions are simple and should theoretically be able to get a 1 (dunk?)

Name a number between 1-100 (100)
Name a country (195)
Name a former president or Vice President of the United States (94)
Name a team in one of the big 4 American sports (124)
Name a team in FBS football (133)
etc and so on.



And now typing this I think it may have been done. Rass! To the archives!

We can try that. Would be interesting to see who gets last place with like 14.

I emailed answers last night.

I did an alternate kind of Swampcrash a few years back that was something like this. It was a survivor-pool type thing where there was one question each round and anyone with a non-unique answer would get eliminated until there was just one person left.

How about a Sheeple Question of the Week with opposite scoring

Rectified. I know I lost in the first round but I'm feeling a monster game from me this week.

POTR is so fucking good!

Only need 6 more and we can get it in today.

Just sent. The QB one had me really racking my brain, as I'm only 100% sure of one answer.

ETA: Welp. I didn't go with the 100% sure answer and just checked, and mine is wrong.

sorry, sent

My bitch ass is going to do these now.

two minutes - just cleared court
