Re: Besides Ken, Brad, and James, what other contestants could be considered GOAT?

Alex Jacob. Period. He almost singlehandedly took his team to the finals of the All-Star tournament and, along with Larissa, was the strongest player there. He missed one DD that I know will haunt him, but we can’t let that take away from the performance we witnessed.

Any guesses as to who he meant by "one who sang at the L.M."?
He meant Marian Anderson. L.M. is Lincoln Memorial

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)

You just want to throw away the right answer because you "might" get it wrong? I swear, I just don't understand your mindset. In most trivia games, if I don't know the answer, I just throw something out there and hope it sticks. And if it doesn't, I learn something new. Are you just scare...

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)

Geez man. Literally the only queen you can name is the right answer, but you won't even consider it because it COULD be wrong? There have been lots of NHOIs in the $200 box. With literally nothing pointing to the one queen I can name, I figured it had to be someone I couldn't name. Because if it we...

Re: Thursday, April 18, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

James' game is very rhythmic, a pretty uniform pace. The zone.I think a couple things to try would be to 1) Slow down the pace of the game, change it's rhythm. Try to alter the cadence of the gameplay away from James' tempo. Slow responses, slow clue choices, etc 2) Extreme bouncing - basically pic...

Re: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I know we just had a supertourney; but I wonder at what point TPTB might decide that as was the case with Ken, it would be a letdown to place James in a "mere" TOC, as the viewing public would like to see how he would fare against the other immortals. I'm not talking about anything as lon...

I got 41. Thoughts on if "Potential Energy" might have been accepted for Entropy? I know Entropy is more correct.

Scary rhyming with hairy, and sherry rhyming with Jerry. I've honestly never heard either word pronounced a different way.
All four of those words rhyme.

Re: Reretaken Down

Getting it back on page 1. Really AZ? You trade Goldschmidt to the Cardinals of all teams? You couldn't have sent that blankin' pita to the AL? At least he's out of the NL West to cut down on the 19 games of opposition a season. Still, anything that makes STL better is a whole lotta bad GOOD news. ...
