1. Read all the rules 2. Post your answers before reading the thread 3. Post your answers like this: 1. Answer Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers. 4. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 2 points times the number of people with the same answer. The theoretical max score would be 1000 points. I expect to seriously undershoot that mark. 5. This is designed for 50 respondents. If it seems to be lagging, I will pick an arbitrary time to end it and adjust the point scoring accordingly. 6. The penalty. See rule # 3. If you fail to post answers correctly causing me extra work in the scoring, you get the honor of incurring a penalty. That penalty is 10% of your final point total. Get to Feudin’! 1. Name a former player on the Chicago Cubs. 2. Name a city that has hosted the Summer Olympics. 3. Name a Super Bowl MVP 4. Name something that Michael Jordan is/has been a paid endorser of. 5. Name a professional sports franchise that is viewed as inept. 6. Name a sport with high worldwide popularity that Americans often overlook. 7. Name an Olympic sport. 8. Name a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. 9. Name an athlete caught up in a drug scandal. 10. Name a failed professional sports league. ---
