Episode title: "All Things Being Eagle"
Playing the precall game off the FJ! category of RECEIVERS I thought of Jerry Rice, Art Monk and Tim Brown. That helped a lot when I saw the clue as I locked in the correct response. I had remembered that Jerry Rice passed Art Monk for career receptions, so that put the Washington player on my radar as a possible in the category.
The clue narrowing it to the NFC East nicely limited the teams to consider and I had no Cowboy, Eagle or Giant who seemed to be a better option.
What I did not need to hear was Eric bringing up a certain Cowboy "push-off" receiver during the post game chat as #88's name always elicits cussing.
Jaime surprised me being in position to take the title as I pulled the trap door on him early in MOVIE TAGLINES.
500: 1976: The coach is waiting for his next beer. The pitcher is waiting for her first bra. The team is waiting for a miracle. Consider the possibilities.
What is A League of Their Own?
[Whoosh!]
The last DD that Jaime found had his lead at 10250 to 10000 to 1250 with just a 500 clue remaining. He bet 250 and got it right. Justin got the last clue to keep Jaime in the lead.
Dan was hilarious in getting after the players for not being able to identify Sugar Ray Leonard in a photo from the WIDE WORLD OF SHORTS category that had images of boxers. South Africa in the wording seemed to throw them off.
Dan also earlier seemed surprised when they failed to identify the partner of Christopher Dean. (Jayne Torvill)
5 wins is a great accomplishment and Eric is only the 3rd to do it on Sports J!
