Sometimes, the story is about second place. Not to minimize the trivia accomplishments of Paddington Kills - wire to wire wins are nothing to sneeze at.
But, when the decathletes of trivia show their unbending knowledge of Olympic decathlon events, doubling their score and jumping to a last round, last minute, return your pen second place finish -- Mr. T Says Curling is Cool.... Fool deserves special accommodation - so that's what they're getting.
Not to be unmentioned, the returning Sad Rockets, perhaps waiting until the basketball season finished up so they felt the strength to enter a sports bar once again.
It was Dan vs. Dave all over again. Dan might've won again, but this time Dave O'Brien clearly qualified for the olympics, and took home the silver medal.

Right place. Right time. We could be talking geography. We could be talking sports knowledge. We could be talking when to check that little box next to double or nothing.
A pair of regulars threatened to dominate Monday night at King Trivia. But a game that had a new team join every round, including 7.... saw the upstarts who happened to be sitting on the bar as this golden voice came over the microphone, sitting in 3rd heading into the final round used their knowledge of the NFL to forge a last second tie with Paddington Kills
Then the right place, right time comes down to putting 4 digits on a paper, but when you needed to write 5, only your tie-breaking competitor uses a lower number, you really don't...and voila we have a King Trivia Monday night Rocco's champ.
And this is how a little game, on a quiet night in Culver City becomes something bigger...

A weird, but good, vibe combined with an NBA game 7 mixed with some end of holiday weekend blues led to a 3 team race for the championship belt on this Monday. And when you know your politics, you know your politics -- and a double-or-nothing about VPs rocketed the previously disappointed Sad Rockets (just couldn't outgun the Warriors without Chris Paul) to a Monday night title.
Itty Bitty! was back, winning the drink round, and overcoming an early unsuccessful double attempt to get themselves more Rocco's dollars.
And, here we go again :), Mr. T says Rocco's Bucks are Cool... Foo! - once again on the podium.
