Sheep in the year 2015

    Come one, come all for the 2015 edition of Sheep. We will play for eight weeks, during which everyone's lowest score will be dropped. We will then play a ninth week that counts for everyone.

    The way it works is simple: you get one point for each person whose answer matches yours. So when you are filling out your answers, try to consider what is likely to be the most popular answer among the group, not which answer applies to you personally or you find funny, etc. Don't write to me and ask what I meant, because it doesn't matter (plus I am largely using submitted questions).

    The deadline is midnight PST each Friday. DO NOT submit your answers an hour or two late and get mad that I reject them. Them's the rules.

    The other important rule: If you miss one week, you can take a zero and have it dropped as your lowest score. However, if you miss a second week, you're done!

    With that, let the sheeping commence.

    WEEK ONE QUESTIONS
    1. What age would you consider 'old?'
    2. Who will be the Super Bowl MVP?
    3. Other than Serial, name a popular podcast.
    4. What, if anything, is the most annoying thing about the new SJ?
    5. Name a U.S. state that begins with M.
    6. Name a vegetable that people might eat for a healthy snack.
    7. How many more seasons will Washington's football team be known as the Redskins?
    8. How many weeks after Christmas do people take down their trees?
    9. What was 2014's signature song?
    10. Who's going to be a better pro player: Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota?

    Great start. Ms. Pot. I don't see any slam dunk questions.

    And let's remind folks, no discussing questions or answers until Saturday morning.

    Question 10 will save me from scoring a perfect 10 (as in 10 points) this opening week. :)

    I'm pretty sure #4 will be my one pointer.

    I redecorated the basement during the offseason again. You're all invited to visit!

    My goal, like last year, is to beat Vers, IJAG, and Moddy.

    Well, you stand a decent chance of beating Verse and IJAG. Moddy, not so much.
