Stupid is all about the brevity in posting these results. Just the stats, ma'am.


1.) Name the biggest sports "celebrity" scandal not involving Tiger Woods

In a showdown between "current buzz" and an "I remember where I was when 'X' happened" moment, the real killer emerges triumphant.
13 - OJ Simpson
5 - Big Ben
2 - Bond, Kobe
1 - Harding/Kerrigan, Black Sox, Baseball/Roids

2.) Who is your favorite athlete?

In an upset that is truly shocking on this forum, basketball players > football players for favorite athlete status.
6 - Michael Jordan
5 - Lebron James
4 - Tom Brady
3 - Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning
1 - Montana, Housh, Shaq, Big Ben

3.) Name the most incompetent team in all of sports.

Clearly Schmidty and Honolulu Blue have won the "suck" war in these parts, as the Lion buries all other incompetant teams.

17 - Detroit Lions
4 - Los Angeles Clippers
3 - Oakland Raiders
1 - Pittsburgh Pirates

4.) If you could have one person in the world of sports give a motivational speech at your work/school, who would it be?

Massive spread here, although it appears that a touch of controversy doesn't hurt someone's stock as a motivational speaker.
4 - Lance Armstrong
3 - Michael Jordan
2 - Tiger Woods, Cal Ripken, Bill Parcells
1 - Bob Knight, Dick Butkus, Gus Johnson, Joe Torre, Phil Jackson, Michael Oher, Peyton Manning, Herb Brooks, Joe Paterno, Jim Valvano, Big Ben (dude is everywhere!), Vince Lombardi

5.) What is the biggest steak (money not an object) that you would consider eating in one sitting?

Stupid is clearly not a glutton.
9 - 16 oz
4 - 32 oz
2 - 48 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz
1 - 30 oz, 28 oz, 12 oz, 80 oz (good man!), Kobe Beef, 72 oz

6.) How much money is "too much" to spend on a good bottle of wine?

There are two people here who should extend me an invitation to sample their wines.
13 - $100
4 - $50
3 - $20
2 - $200, $30
1 - $25

Raiders Army

Had the #1 answers for 1-5, but got annihilated on #6.

How anyone could call the Raiders the most incompetent team in all of sports is beyond me. Three modern NFL titles and two more playoff appearances...one in the past decade.

I think this is my second straight second place finish. At least of the last two I entered. Just call me Jim Kelly.

The motivational speaker question was the only one I had to really think about, and I can't believe I was the only one to say Jim Valvano. He actually gave the greatest motivational speech people!

Is it cause you don't want a dead guy showing up?
