Episode title: "His Name Is Earl"
The FJ! had me taking a jab with Ali & Foreman to pick the names of two classic fighters. Because the Olympics in the 1960s are before my viewing time my knowledge of those games is very hit and miss.
I had Frazier in the mix for consideration, but I could not recall with certainty that he won gold while being sure that Ali & Foreman had won gold. Somewhere in the back of my head I do know that Ali was not in the heavyweight weight class at Rome. The nugget I had floating around somewhere was a famous boxer in the 1970s that had not been in the Olympics and I suspected that was Frazier, while research shows it to be Ken Norton.
Recalling specific years for famous bouts is spotty as well and I did not know enough to rule out 1973 as the year for Ali vs. Foreman. It's the kind of clue that seems more likely to produce a contestant half right than nailing both names. Usually that would favor a player in the trailing position. In this game Earl was down for the count, but the wagering by his opponents set him up for the 7th win.
