spoiler alert?

We are now 20% complete!

After 5 questions in 2015, there were 6 perfect games. In 2016, it was 3.
Last year, we had a remarkable 18 players start with 5 correct answers, while this year, it is down to just 2.

Congratulations to all of the players with a perfect start after 5. Both of you:

pokergrader
thehempy

Oh yeah forgot there was a question in the middle...I think.

With the game 1/5th in the books, let's look at the podium for the first time.

Our leader right now, with 36 points, is pokergrader. Our 2016 champion is still perfect, having scored 11, 4, 15, 2, and 4 with his 5 correct answers.

In second place with 39 points is SuperUberBob. He started off with an incorrect, scoring 18 points with the Denver Broncos. Since then, however, he's managed 4 correct answers, including a pair of aces (#2 with the Chiefs and #5 with Derek Carr). He has scored 18, 1, 15, 4, and 1 with his 5 answers.

Holding onto the bronzo right now, with 44 points, is thehempy. thehempy has the other perfect game, scoring 11, 4, 15, 2, and 12 with his 5 correct answers.


Congratulations to the current podium!

For those interested in MR. SHEEP, here are his 5 scores:

13, 4, 15, 6, and 12.

Here is his progression alongside his running total:

Week 1 (13) - T-19th
Week 2 (17) - 7th
Week 3 (32) - 6th
Week 4 (38) - T-4th
Week 5 (50) - T-5th


He should slide outside the Top 10 soon, as Q's 6 and 7 already have guaranteed correct SHEEPs. My prediction is that he'll be outside the Top 10 after 10 questions.

That's all for today!

The Week 6 reveal will be Tuesday October 16th at the earliest.

Have a good week!

Surprised by how many correct answers there are already. Looks like 17 if I'm counting correctly. Could be a big penalty for being incorrect.

I LIKE THAT

Q 6 incorrects were 29 as of the end of Week 4.

Just slightly ahead of last! Loving it!!

How did I ever win this game?

[Turns to everyone behind him and says, "I'll handle this one, guys."]

As someone who earned his 1st correct for this season, feels good.

Always nice to wrap this one up 15 seconds into the season, amirite?

It's pretty cool. Getting an ace is where it's at though.

Getting a what?

The only time I remember getting an ace was, naturally, on a question where I answered Blake Bortles.

Am I Jason Mendoza?

Fork you!

This is an outstanding reference. Jameela Jamil is 10/10.

The Week 6 reveal will start at noon Eastern on Thursday, October 18th. See you then!

I was looking forward to this reveal a lot more before I checked my entry and realized I had wimped out and changed from the Bears to the Jags last minute.

Picking a Jags answer can never be an ace.

Every year for these questions I try to pick the most irrelevant team in the league. Not sure if it's a good strategy or not.

Looking forward to one of my few right answers being a sheep once again.
