The Feud: The new NFL season grows closer! by Little Nemo [Game Over]

@Little_Nemo

Basically, I picked the Bears and the Cardinals because they are the two still active founding teams of the NFL.

Wow. Would not have guessed that about the Cardinals. I wonder if there’s a founding team of any league with as undistinguished a history.

There are no faulty cards. If the majority gave Taylor as the most common answer, the people who said him would get the most points, even if he never saw Giants stadium in his life. It is not about" correct answers". It is about matches and matches only.

Note that I wrote “if it matters” because it’s quite possible it doesn’t. 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?

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.

That’s not how the Feud works. If 49 people said “Little Red Riding Hood” for that question then that would be the “correct” answer.

@Little_Nemo

If people want and Dolores Reborn agrees we could do two more feuds to cover more teams. Then we can argue about which two don’t make the cut.

No thanks.

Oh jeez, Drain Bead - I must not have seen you when I was scoring! I’m sorry.

:(Doesn’t pay to be original.

D’oh! I was 9/9 until the last question, then for some reason my brain forgot Joe Gibbs and said Dan Synder. shakes fist at brain

I predict that this will be the winning entry.

Well, at least I got that one right. 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.

[AuntiePam]

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.

[JohnT]

My God I’m bad at these things.

<throws shitfit on the sideline> Are you blind?! How could you miss that call?? You just cost us the game! Damn zebras!!

Mike Pereira will hear about this, I promise you!
