Well, I would've bet on either Cheryl Tiegs or Cindy Crawford, so my "sheep" compromise seems OK in hindsight.

Whew. As big a sports fan as I am, Elway/Mantle were the only two I knew (not even sure who a lot of those people are), and I was sure they'd sheep. Let's see if makes a difference, or if the one I answered turns out to be even more wooly.

A wrong and a wrong with hedge. Oh well, could be going worse?
One more wrong answer coming up (I changed the fermion question from a right answer to a wrong one after submitting), then it's all down hill (or up hill? Which way does the saying go?). Provided that my semi certain answers actually hold up.

I also figured Mantle would sheep, but I had to use my drop on the fermion question (since I had absolutely no clue what that was), so there you go. Mantle was the only one I could come up with - so ashamed I didn't think of Elway, but that would have just made co-sheep.

Yep, same here. Curse of being a Yankee fan. Oh well, maybe I'm on the way to setting a record for highest score.

It's not just you. He's obviously been studying this for a while.

Ditto, although I had to use my DROP on the Valentine's Day clue, seeing as to how I've never heard of that movie. Makes it hard to answer questions about it. :)

The only cover girl I was sure of was Brinkley and I thought she would sheep after the recent Billy Joel TD.

Yeah, I was hoping that people would shy away from her after seeing a lot of Billy Joel last week. I stayed with Brinkley after considering Ireland, MacPherson and Porizkova. I wasn't positive Hunter was a multiple cover girl. I also thought about Carol Alt but, again, didn't know if she was a multiple.

Brinkley popped into my head before anyone else, but I moved away from her for similar reasons. I switched to Kathy Ireland, and it turns out that staying with Brinkley would've been better.

I'm sure that thought creeps into Billy Joel's mind at least once a day. :-)

Wasn't 100% sure on an answer for either #1 or #2, but I was more certain that Mickey Mantle was #7 than I was Tyra Banks was a multiple covergirl, so I dropped Tyra and went with Mickey. Could've saved four points had I gone the other way, but with the exception of my "SHEEP" on the fermion question, I think I have pretty good answers for everything else, so I'll take it.

I lucked out on my Kevin Johnson pick. Happened to be reading an article a few weeks ago about what a horrible person he is (lots of accusations of financial and sexual misconduct), and it mentioned something about when the Suns retired his number 7. Glad that stuck with me!

Yvon Labre's number 7 is infamous among Washington Capitals fans like me. He was a great guy and one of the first captains of the team, but he's probably the worst player to ever get his number retired. 7 years, 334 games played, just 12 goals (albeit a defenseman), and a plus-minus of -89 with the team. Not deserving of number retiring.

I hate it when I go down the list and see "Aha! I'm not a sheep", then keep going down and down the list to see where I stand only to find out I'm wrong. I lived in the Boston area in the early 80s and at that time Ray Bourque wore the number 7. I knew his number was retired, but as I now know, the number 7 was previously Phil Esposito's number, and when they retired that, Bourque switched to the number 77.

I saw him play in the Stanley Cup finals, and saw that he wore 77 on the Colorado Avalanche, but I just assumed somebody there had the number 7 and he had to choose something different. Kinda like when Carlton Fisk went to the Chicago White Sox and changed his number from 27 to 72.
