BRETT FARVE is CORRECT!!!  That brings your total, BILL, to 23 points. You are now three points away from the payoff point and that means that only the first three categories are in play.  What's your pick? |

I'm sorry, everyone.....the answer we were looking for is "Moody's Manual".
That means we go to a what we call a CONTROL QUESTION. This is not worth any points, but this gets to see who picks the next category.

THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 53
Here are the results:

FOOTBALL is RAYMOND's choice and, as you can all see:  This question is for MATT and RAYMOND only since the category's point value would put BILL over the payoff point. FOOTBALL: What city had the football team called the Rams before they moved to St. Louis in 1994? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 33 Here are the results: MATT first RAYMOND second (BZZT) MATT, your answer? |
