Only 21 entrants. The David Pollack question was mine, my mistake. It seemed a good question and b/c of Oliegirl's love for the Bulldogs he was the one player I'd been following through all the mock drafts... it wasn't until a couple of days after i posted the IWS that I realized my mistake.
I am, however, very happy to report that no one who entered before the draft had perfect answers on the other 5 questions, so the winner would have been the same if we threw out that question.
That said, on to the results!
1. What was the greatest NFL highlight?
I expected the Immaculate Reception to be far and away an eliminator, but it wasn't even the winner by itself.
The Immaculate Reception - 8
The Catch (Montana to Clark) - 8
The others(1 each):
Bo Jackson runs through Brian Bosworth for a TD on MNF
Norwood misses a FG to end the Super Bowl
The Super bowl Trophy is named after Vince Lombardi
Joe Theisman breaks his leg
Randall Cunningham dives over the pylon for a touchdown(I don't know this one from its description...)
2. With what pick in the NFL Draft will Georgia DE David Pollack be selected?
an unintentional eliminator. Very disappointing, as a couple of bright people who answered before the draft were going on ESPN's mock and were in the lead early(but as mentioned, were off somewhere else anyway).
17th - 12
23rd - 3
18th - 2
17th - 2
10th - 1
5th - 1
3. If there could only be one fast food restaurant, which should it be?
McDonalds is a pretty well established answer to any fast food question.
McDonalds - 12
Taco Bell - 4
Wendy's - 2
Subway - 1
Chik Fil A - 1
Popeyes - 1
4. Who will win this year's World Series of Poker?
I liked this question this year, it seemed there was not an obvious answer that jumped out at me.
Chris Moneymaker - 5
Phil Helmuth - 5
Greg Raymer - 3
Daniel Negreanu - 1
Dan Harrington - 1
Vegas Vic - 1
Phil Ivey - 1
No One - 1
A Random Internet Qualifier - 1
Matt Damon - 1
Who Cares - 1
5. Which bad driving habit is most annoying?
Easily an eliminator.
Talking on a cell phone while driving - 14
Tailgating - 3
Not using Turn Signals - 1
Driving slowly in the left land - 1
Swerving - 1
Women Drivers (the exact text in the PM I got was "being a woman") - 1
6. Who will be the next baseball player to reach 500 home runs?
Another one where I thought the best answer wasn't obvious at all. I probably would have said Thome myself and would have done very poorly. In the end it was simply the guy who was closest who wasn't Fred McGriff who was the right way to go. Griffey and Sosa both have 500 already...
Jeff Bagwell - 11
Fred McGriff - 4
Ken Griffey Jr - 2
Sammy Sosa - 1
Ichiro - 1
Manny Ramirez - 1
Jim Thome - 1
