But I notice you wrote here “Giants Stadium” as if you put in Lawrence Taylor as a response for the Giants. You did not. You wrote Lawrence Taylor as a response for the Steelers. You should have said “Three Rivers Stadium.” However if the "wrong " answer got the most agreement, I would be ahead by this horrible gaffe. This is not a test to determine answers. It is about how many others say the same answer. isn’t 3 rivers torn down? ---

It is about how many others say the same answer. isn’t 3 rivers torn down? If a thousand people joined you _still_ wouldn’t get a single match for the Steelers with Lawrence Taylor. I can’t believe how difficult it is for you to say something so simple as “oops, my bad, oh well no biggie.” Instead you have to pretend you meant to answer it that way, or use irony quotes to pretend that it’s somehow not wrong. It clearly is. As for your obfuscation, it is wrong too. First, when Lawrence Taylor was playing the Steelers played in Three Rivers Stadium. Since that’s the guy we’re talking about, the stadium contemporary to him is the relevant one. Second, you said Giants Stadium, _which has also been torn down_. ---

I over-thought twice & went with the all-time great wideouts over the quarterbacks that had spent a lot of time elsewhere; didn’t think that would knock me all the way down to 30th, but it was a conch-heavy game. ---

That’ll teach me to go with my husband’s answers. Unitas? Really? Don’t you think Peyton Manning is better? No, go with Unitas – everybody’ll say Unitas. We also argued about Favre and Lombardi, Landry and Staubach. ---
