Family Feud XIV - the sports edition

[cmkeller]

Family Feud XIV - I liked the Movie Edition that was posted a few feuds ago, so I decided to try my hand at this. Note to non-American dopers - the questions here all refer to sports that are popular in North America, not out of local chauvinism but because I am not knowledgeable enough to ask real questions about cricket, rugby, soccer, etc. Sorry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules, in case you are new are this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.

Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

Good luck!

For those folks who have already responded, a question: do MLB players actually go to Japan to play during the off-season? I thought the Japanese season ran only a month or two off of MLB's season

[What Exit?]

For those folks who have already responded, a question: do MLB players actually go to Japan to play during the off-season? I thought the Japanese season ran only a month or two off of MLB's season
There is almost always a US player tour of Japan after the World Series. However, most MLB players that play winter ball do so in the Caribbean and they have not played in Cuba for decades.

I see a lot of people noted the 42 instead of 47 mistake.

[SSG Schwartz]

For those folks who have already responded, a question: do MLB players actually go to Japan to play during the off-season? I thought the Japanese season ran only a month or two off of MLB's season

True, but the answer doesn't have to be right or wrong, just the most popular. I am waiting to see if Puerto Rico becomes a popular answer for that question.

Uh, not sure what happened there with the double post. I think there must have been a server fart.

[Asimovian]

Asimovian - Atlanta? Is that a mistake, or an intentional comment on the state of the Hawks?Heh...I realized my mistake afterwards, but it just goes to show how little attention I pay to basketball these days. I honest-to-God thought the Hawks had moved and taken on another name because I haven't heard a word about them in years. I suppose the Lakers and Clippers don't play them very often because I haven't seen a Hawk-related highlight since I don't know when.

True, but the answer doesn't have to be right or wrong, just the most popular.Oh, I know. That's why I was specifically looking for a factual answer to the question, which What Exit? provided.

I am waiting to see if Puerto Rico becomes a popular answer for that question.The post immediately following yours made that very worthwhile. :)

OK I just realized that no honest competitor will read my post, but it serves the purpose of bumping...

The flow of responses seems to have dried up.

I'll leave this one more day, and if we don't have 50 responses by then, I'll just multiply by 100/(number of responses) rather than by 2.

OK, I know when I'm licked. I obviously don't have what it takes to fashion a feud game that attracts 50 responses. Instead of 2, the number of answers will be multiplied by 2.25, and rounded off to the nearest whole number. (BTW, the ties are actual exact ties, none created by rounding.) Final results:

OK, I know when I'm licked. I obviously don't have what it takes to fashion a feud game that attracts 50 responses. For what it's worth, I thought your game was a good one and I enjoyed participating.

[twickster]

I started a new non-theme (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=452014) game.

[CatInASuit]

Hey,

Even adding up my answer totals I managed not to come in last.

How did that happen :)

[What Exit?]

Damn, get to sports and I do worse. This was a fun one cmkeller.

[anyrose]

see? last. toldyaso.

[tesseract]

For what it's worth, I thought your game was a good one and I enjoyed participating. Me too -- I thought that was a great one. Thanks.

[Frosted Glass]

Nice, I finally got one! This was a good category, too bad we didn't get more responses.

[Justin Credible]

Me too -- I thought that was a great one. Thanks.

I liked it too. And...Charlotte has an NBA team again? I guess that shows how much attention I pay to pro sports these days.

[MonkeyMensch]

Thank you, CM. First time for me and I think my position says it all. I was so sure when I typed my answers though!

::Goes off in hunt for next feud thread...::

[Purgatory Creek]

I enjoyed it, too, even though I know virtually nothing about sports and even less about international sports.

And look, I didn't even come in dead last!

Slight nitpick - the Citrus Bowl and Capital One Bowl should really have been counted separately; they're two different games that just happen to be played in the same stadium.

That's not the impression I got from this Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_One_Bowl). If the article is wrong, or I misinterpreted it, I apologize.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

No, you're absolutely right, actually.
