I wrote Tim Duncan to avoid a blank page for the FJ! clue although I was fairly sure I had heard age 40 surrounding his retirement earlier this year. Even with multiple choice it's very possible I still would not have known Jason Kidd was the one.
Tony was in a strong position with the near lock to win the game on a triple miss. Where things could have changed was Roderick's missed Daily Double as he added extra information to his correct name, but while doing that forget proper phrasing. In a much closer 2nd place position Roderick likely would have made a strategic wager that would have doubled his win total.
Roderick looked strong at the beginning for the repeat with 5,000 getting the first 8 clues right including some rebounds that made his lead even bigger.
