I didn't play because there were too many on which I had zero clue... but if I had, I would have been a smartass and named Winston Churchill as one of those who played Winston Churchill... Would have been either a singleton or a wrong answer, depending on what the host meant with his question. :)

Didn't expect my governor to sheep. Certainly didn't think someone in California would know her.

When WAKA was the early J! station I saw a lot of Alabama ads. The best were the Alabama Hammer Mike Slocumb ones while political ones were prevalent as well.

Strategically dropping that puts me in the lead right now. I predicted Kristy Noem would sheep and if I had answered her, it would have been a three-way sheep.

I missed with Denver. St. Louis went unused. Pretty sure I was thinking of the mint in Denver.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

Ouch - so dropping #6 (when I would have guessed Philadelphia without knowing it was actually correct) instead of #1 (which I missed with Hopkins) costs me 6 points and sends me from a possible podium finish to the "bizarro podium" of the bottom three.

Thank you for catching that - that's what I get for doing this early in the morning when I am a little jetlagged! Everything has been corrected.

Congrats floridagator & Woppy T and thanks for the game, gamawire. The only thing missing was a bonus about roads and stadiums. :)

And a top 10 finish for Bamaman, way to go.
