    I want to know how people are getting scores out of 30 with there only being 28 teams on the quiz. Free points?

    That one was a blast. I got 66 the first time, reloaded it right before time ran out and got 72 the second time.

    California has A LOT of people.

    There's no legit way to get them all, unless you just happen to know the five-largest cities beginning in q and z. And you don't.

    Go to Jack Trudeau's Wikipedia page, and look on the right column under "Career highlights and awards"

    LOL

    Got it with 1:44 to spare.

    (OK, I had to look up Dave Krieg and Todd Marinovich, but I had 2:30 on the clock when I did it. I got all the rest legitimately)

    I kept thinking Jay Schroeder was the Raiders' QB in '92 (he was on the team, but must not have started the week that was applicable). I had Steve DeBerg on the brain for the Chiefs.

    And Todd Philcox is a Belichick legend.

    Apparently I'm the smartest non-cheater here (hi Bubbler!) b/c I got 23 of 28. Missed on Jack Trudeau (figured it had to be Jeff George), Rodney Peete (the one Lions QB from 1985-95 I could not think of...I even tried Scott Mitchell out of frustration as time expired), Hugh Millen (had absolutely, positively no idea who QBd the Pats during that 1-15 debacle...tried Tony Eason), Kelly Stouffler (had no idea, my lone guess was Dan McGwire) and Rich Gannon (thought that might have been the year McMahon made some starts for them).

    I knew Krieg was in KC b/c I'd run the Dave Krieg Fan Club if I had the time and guessed Philcox when Kosar didn't pop up b/c I remembered he made some starts for them after Testaverde got hurt in '93. I thought Timmahhhhh Rosenbach was the Cards' QB then, so I was pleasantly surprised when Chris Chandler popped up.

    I only missed Chandler and Marinovich. Wouldn't have guessed them no matter how long I had. Big ups to Tecmo Super Bowl as well.

    I should get extra points for getting 22 without ever having played TECMO Bowl.

    Yeah, but then you lose points for never having played TECMO Bowl. :D
