To kick off the holiday weekend, some IWS results. I was happy with the set of questions. Let's get to it.
1. Stupid got lucky and drew the first pick in his fantasy football draft. Everyone figures he'll take Charles, Peterson or maybe Rodgers. But the real question is who Stupid can get in the second round when it snakes back around to him. In his 10 man league, who does Stupid take with 2(20)?
A.J. Green 6
Odell Beckham Jr. 3
Aaron Rodgers 2
Demarco Murray 2
Alshon Jeffery 2
Randall Cobb 2
LeSean McCoy 2
Gronk 2
Andrew Luck 2
Tom Brady
James Jones
Jamaal Charles
Phillip Rivers
T.Y. Hilton
Drew Brees
A few people commented that this was the hardest question. Certainly a lot of answers, but Green emerged as a clear leader. I was expecting it to be a WR and he makes as much sense as anyone.
2. Stupid's significant other ("SO") has vowed to get into football this year. SO is new to the game and needs to pick a favorite team. SO decides to pick based on who has the prettiest uniforms. Who does Stupid's SO pick as a favorite team?
Seahawks 10
Cowboys 5
Dolphins 4
Chargers 3
49ers 2
Jaguars
Vikings
Panthers
Titans
Falcons
I thought the Seahawks or the Dolphins would be the play here. People in the Pacific Northwest love their fancy uniforms.
3. Stupid lives in Southern California and is excited when the NFL awards Los Angeles an expansion team. Even better, Stupid wins a contest to give the team a nickname. What does Stupid decide to call the new Los Angeles franchise?
Stars 6
Rams 5
Express 2
Quake/Quakes 2
Outlaws
Raiders
Riots
Lakers
Angels
Dodgers
Angelenos
Avengers
Moguls
Producers
Suns
Bandits
Sharks
Blockbusters
This was my favorite question I wrote. Obviously a hard one and difficult to match with Stupid, but the Stars makes sense. I was surprised more didn't hone in on the Express from the USFL.
4. Stupid is in a pick 'em league where he assigns confidence points to the game he's most sure about each week. With team does he pick in Week 1 this season as his highest confidence winner?
Packers 14
Seahawks 7
Patriots 3
Cowboys 2
Dolphins 2
Colts
Stupid makes the easy play and goes with the Packers (the largest point spread of week 1).
5. Stupid decides to put a deposit down for season tickets for the new Los Angeles _____ inaugural season. How much is Stupid willing to put down as a deposit to guarantee good, non-end zone seats?
$1,000 17
$10,000 5
$500 3
$5,000 2
$2,500
$2,000
Stupid continues to love the round numbers. Pure eliminator.
6. Stupid gets to go to a meet and greet with an existing NFL general manager. Stupid starts talking to him about this great text sim game called Front Office Football, where you get to be the GM of a football team. The GM is interested and immediately logs onto Steam to buy copies for his entire front office, with the hope they can learn something from the game. Which team's GM is Stupid talking to?
Redskins 7
Browns 5
Raiders 4
Lions 3
Cowboys 2
Seahawks 2
Eagles 2
Jets
Jaguars
Colts
Falcons
This ended up being a fun one. The top three are certainly obvious candidates.
