I have also been a Cowboys fan for about 50 years and have never heard that nickname either.John Boy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2017 9:10 am I have a question that actually refers to Monday's game, but I forgot to ask it in the proper thread.

I have been a Dallas Cowboys fan for over 50 years, including most of the time when Bob Lilly was playing. I actually lived in Dallas during the last 4 years or so of his career. And in all that time I can not remember once, EVER, hearing him referred to as "Tiger Lilly" as was reported in a clue on Monday's game.
Any of you familiar with that nickname?
Speaking of the Cowboys though, if I ever make it on the show, I'm hoping that the air date of my episode is the Friday before the Super Bowl, the category is the Super Bowl, and the clue is "this player is the only player from the losing team to win the game MVP award, name the player, team, and which Super Bowl". Got that one down cold
Regarding Tuesday's game, instaget FJ (although I wouldn't put Sgt. Pepper in the top 20 myself, and it's no better than fourth at best among Beatles albums IMHO). I personally think that Sgt Pepper or Sgt Pepper's should have been accepted, and that it would have been easy to say to the contestants - something like "If your choice has a well-known abbreviation or shortening of the full name, that is acceptable" and an example could be "Alice in Wonderland" instead of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Easy-peasy. But either way, I agree that Wilbur's response was incorrect.
I also agree with those who think that long answers are somewhat unfair and not in the spirit of the show.
