Sports Talk (Reverse) Sheep 3 — The Final Round - Page 2

TheDude · 07-09-09, 09:59 PM

I could probably list 3, mebbe four guys.

WallyOPD · 07-09-09, 10:11 PM

I can think of 3 guys for #8, and I'm not a cycling fan.

I have a sinking feeling that I am going to be let down by my vague PTI education once again...

wendersfan · 07-09-09, 10:36 PM

No soccer questions? And I was eager to play in this one...

If they only participate in Summer, why would it matter? Same total medals per population either way, right?

Oh yeah and Everything Sheep Round 1 - Presented by Google!

More opportunities to accumulate medals, I imagine.

True, but if its a smaller country that has had success in the Summer games, it won't really matter.
Either way I will have to change my answer.

I could think of 5.

Sent mine. I'll probably do terrible again for some of these questions, especially that Medal one.

Yeah, I think a lot of us have the same 3, it will be a scary one.

It would be helpful to know if you're playing as I ponder question 3.

I might have to look back through the old ones to see who played.

I won't be playing this one, since, with the exception of cycling, none of the questions are about sports I give a shit about. I'll play if The Bus runs another one of these that has fewer NFL questions.

Goat3001 · 07-10-09, 09:16 AM

In. Thanks Bus.

orangecrush · 07-10-09, 09:29 AM

I am most interested to see how people answer the NBA rookie of the year question.

wishbone · 07-10-09, 09:58 AM

PM sent. Round 3 should solidify my descent in the overall standings.

This one only had two NFL questions, and neither required more than a cursory knowledge of football.

On the other hand .... two WNBA questions? Seriously?

I'm in. I'm pretty certain all of my answers are correct, so hopefully I'll at least make it through this without any penalties.

I like that we're allowed to use an outside resource to name a good MLB team, but not to name a WNBA team.

As long as you didn't get an idea from the John Grisham book Playing for Pizza (you have read that one, haven't you?), you should be fine. Also, I may need to put you on retainer for one of my answers. How many internet dollars do you require?

It's a sheep question so if you went with a general answer you should do okay -- at least that is how I am hoping it turns out.
