Someone asked me what the by-sport breakdown was; I don't have one but I'll probably build one this weekend when I'm snowed in.

But I'll tell you right now there isn't a lot of hockey in there.
Even I have some areas of sports trivia where I absolutely clean up (anything about Olympic sports), areas where I'm above average (college sports, baseball) and areas where I'm absolutely awful (hockey)

The humane solution here is less sports questions. Let the jocks have jock games and the nerds have nerd games. Put a trivia game on ESPN. Maybe they have one (I don’t watch it).

I saw the name "Tim Rice," and I realized I was thinking of "Tim Curry," and then it was about the musical Chess and I was like, oh right, Tim Rice, and then I thought it was funny I was mixing up two guys with food names so I came here to tell you all about it, and now I'm here. Good night
