Thanks to the football, we gained some extra teams tonight that decided to stick around and try and do something their team of choice could not: win. Unfortunately, they followed suit. Gotta love sports.

Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You? You were certainly missing during the first four rounds as stumped players resisted doubles and remained locked in a tight 6 way tie until the Great Dane and his pothead Mystery Machine buddies decided to show up. Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed in just how many of you believed that Jennifer Walters' superhero cousin Bruce was in fact Bruce Wayne and not Bruce Banner as if that Gotham socialite's blood would transform Batgirl into some kind of Man-Bat with hairy skin, floppy ears and a knack for hanging upside down. Like, really? Pick up a comic, you cretins! But after those pesky kids unmasked the connection on round 5, the rest of the night soared. Well, until Round 6. A lot of fateful double or nothings resulted in a whole lot of nothing as teams thought Megatron was the one with a secret lair on Asteroid M. No, no, no. There may have been that shitty Transformers movie where Megatron talks to another robot on the surface of the moon - which, sure, could look like an asteroid - but no, if you've ever played that amazing classic X-Men arcade game you know that the final encounter with Magneto (after the first one is revealed to be Mystique in disguise) takes place far away from Earth on his floating fortress of Asteroid M. Seriously, comic books were a major stumbling block for many of you tonight. Time to bone up on some graphic novels before that TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS comes barreling around the corner very very very soon.

Let's all take a minute and appreciate Round 3 tonight. While many players loathe any mention of sports in their questions, tonight's round contained 3 - count 'em, 3! - sports questions covering MLB MVP's, NFL coaches and World Series games. At a sports bar. This is what casual players pray for. They don't know their Ariana Grandes from their Meghan Trainors or their Star Wars from their Star Trek but our occasionally curmudgeony older players will always make a comment if no sports questions appear. Tonight, that wasn't an issue. And tonight, at Barney's - a sports bar - three of those curmudgeons (that we all so deeply love) were ecstatic. Until they got ALL THREE sports questions wrong. James, Robert and Donovan - I am officially calling all three of you out by name on a website that you probably wouldn't be able to find because your flip phones don't even connect to the Internet (as you remind me every time you grace us with your presence). All three of the sports questions from the guys who can tell you Babe Ruth's RBI and Joe Namath's record yardage. But nope, they don't remember who threw the 1919 World Series even though they were probably the only three people in the bar who were alive at that time. Gentlemen, ask and ye shall receive but be careful what you wish for... better luck with naming Pink's Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 songs next week.
