Re: Sports Talk (Reverse) Sheep 3 — The Final Round

In. Took me forever just to come up with 1 WNBA player and I am not sure she even still plays.

I never heard of "World Marathon Major" so I probably blew that one.

Re: Sports Talk (Reverse) Sheep 3 — The Final Round

I almost custom-made the last two games for wendersfan and of course, as soon as I disregard him, he can play a game.

Just play it. I kept you and BDB in mind with the F1 and Tour questions.

There's at least one big marathon race in the US. That's a good starting point.

You could have at least let me know about it beforehand.

No - the Grisham books I've read are mostly the early ones so I have no idea what you're talking about.

I simply had to decide what most people here take 'football' to mean and go from there. There is 1 prominent answer for each IMO.

There wasn't a F1 question. It looks like The Bus is going to have to do another round.

At least it was a Sheep question, so there won't be a penalty.

An American quarterback ends up playing in an Italian football league (American football). I "read" it on audiobook. Worth a free listen via the library.

I am sure he will let you slide. Just be thankful Tracer isn't running this one. He shows no mercy.

Re: Sports Talk (Reverse) Sheep 3 — The Final Round

Whoops. I thought I had included a F1 Grand Prix as a question. I think I threw it out in favor of a NASCAR question, which had not been mentioned so far.

And I'm 64% sure I sent you a PM, but .

So apparently, the word "football" is an important part of the question "Other than the NFL, name a professional football league."

I'm not even sure which 3 you're referring to (can guess 2 of them, not sure who you think is the obvious 3rd). In any case, I can probably name 7 or 8.

It's a good thing CompUSA is defunct, else he might take it out on another poor manager.

I was going to send in my answers until I got to the WNBA question. And the first E question.

You couldn't come up with even one answer? If you're in the bottom half, it counts as a sheep question.


yes, I'm slowly getting the hang of this game.

There is a 2009 Tour de France thread right at the top of the page. I'm sure you can find an answer for the E question in there.
