Seaborgium and Bamaman - I thought I had clicked the box that allowed revotes, but somehow missed it. I have now edited in that option, so any re-voting as necessary for errant clicks should now work.Bamaman wrote:
I voted last night, but it looks like I accidentally checked that I got Wednesday right and didn't check Thursday, but it was actually the other way around and now the system won't let me change my vote.

Right sport, wrong player: Ted Williams, thinking the clue was referring to his war service.

Re: FJs for the 10/13/14 week
Not a bad guess. I'm not sure they would've gone with "He Took a Chance" as the tag line, though. That makes it sound like he didn't have to go to war but made the risky decision to serve. True as that may be, it wouldn't sit well with draftees and with draftees' widows and orphans for whom there wasn't a lot of choice. It sounds like praising Ted because he did what they all did when, unlike most people, he could have made a phone call and avoided the danger. Oh, bravo, Mr Big Important Person.

I think the zeitgeist might've gone with the tag line "He Did His Duty". Or maybe, if this metaphor was sufficiently universal at the time, "He Stepped Up to the Plate". Couple that with a shot of The Kid in military uniform and you're golden. The media are suckers for that kind of juxtaposition.

I'm going to play Sports Jeopardy! one of these days, I swear. I went to Crackle and was pleasantly surprised at seeing captions for it just by watching Dan Patrick's intro of Episode 1 (almost nothing on the web is captioned, it seems) so I'm definitely looking forward to it.heelsrule1988 wrote: To 66 of you folks... all I can say is

(I would have clammed on Bernadette, but it came to mind quickly in real time.)
Got Heinz but didn't know they had that many products.
Didn't notice the missing 'stache.
Haven't watched any Sports Jeopardy but plan to. The way the semester is going, it will probably be over Thanksgiving break.
