TD 419 - TD or Not TD (Final results)

Post by clt013 »

The first twelve questions of this quiz are based on "TD" people/things, while all of the bonus round answers also have those initials. So the title for this one is "TD or Not TD".

Rules/Notes
1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players submitting that same answer
2) You may use one drop and take zero points for that question
3) You may elect to take the sheep answer for one question
4) There is no bonus for not using the "drop" or "sheep", so you probably want to take the former and get a zero for one question
5) Wrong responses are the "sheep" answer +4
6) All answers are due by 1 PM Central time on Monday, April 29, 2019
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM

Questions

1. Ted Danson was first nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 1983 and later won twice. Name another person to win "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series" since Danson's initial nomination in 1983. [Hint: Initials include (but not limited to) JH, JR, RG, RM, BR, KG, JL, EM, RR, TS, AB, JP, JT and DG.]

2. Tammy Duckworth is currently a US Senator from Illinois. Name another female member of the current US Senate.

3. Tony Dungy is a Pro Football Hall of Fame coach who led the Colts to a Super Bowl XLI win. Name another Super Bowl champion coach who either: 1) Won since Dungy's title or 2) Is in the Hall of Fame as a coach [That latter requirement means Mike Ditka (in the Hall of Fame as a player) does not count.]

4. Timothy Dalton has played James Bond on film, while Sean Connery did so in movies such as Dr. No. Connery also won an Academy Award (Best Supporting Actor) in 1987 - name that film or one he appeared in (per Wikipedia) since then. [Uncredited cameos or voice roles do not count.]

5. The Tulsa Drillers are a minor league baseball team. Name another city starting with T or D that is home to a minor league club. [Hint: States include (but not limited to) FL, IA, OH and WA.]

6. The Dalles is a city in Oregon. Name a city in that state with population (2017 estimates) over 50,000.

7. Tiny Dancer is an Elton John song that did not crack the Top 40 on the Billboard chart. Name one of his songs that reached the Top 3. [Hint: Initials of titles include (but not limited to) CR, D, IG, LJ & PF.]

8. Taxi Driver was a 1976 movie. Those two words could also be a description for the host of Cash Cab - which can be seen on Game Show Network. Name the host of one of these other shows that currently air on the network. [Note: For Family Feud and The Newlywed Game, looking for the most recent host - so not Dawson, Combs, Eubanks, etc.]

10. Toronto-Dominion bank and its subsidiaries own naming rights to buildings including the TD Garden in Boston. The hockey Bruins share that arena with the basketball Celtics. [Other cities where NHL & NBA franchises share arenas include (but are not limited to) Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.] Name an NHL team that does not share its home with an NBA club.

11. Teapot Dome was a scandal that marred Warren Harding's less than full-term as US President. Name another president who served a "partial" term (which in some cases are in addition to 4-year terms they actually completed) due to death, resignation or succeeding a departed chief executive.

12. TD is the NATO code for Trinidad and Tobago. Name another 2-letter code starting with either T or D.

Q5: does it matter whether the city starting with T or D where a team’s home stadium is located is the place in the team’s name?

That question is looking for a T or D city, which may not necessarily be the team's name.

That will teach me not to read the complete question carefully as "champion" was well hidden in plain sight at the end of the line.

It will be interesting to see if 9021amyers did the same thing as he has proven time and again how well he knows sports here.
