    trivia screwed me maybe

    I decided to go for second round today and question was asked how many weeks does BTP run and answer 17. Said wrong correct answer being 20. when checking BTP thread it is 15 weeks Sept 6 thru Dec 19 and not sure this was even available. Is there someway of me seeing question once out of there?

    Got an issue here.

    Which Jaguars player was one of five finalists for Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year 2007?

    John Broussard
    Maurice Jones-Drew
    Derek Landri
    Byron Leftwich

    Was the correct answer, according to trivia. I don't know shite about the NFL, so I googled the question, which brought up:

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...-year-nominees

    Which doesn't mentioned Maurice Jones-Drew.

    No mention of it on his Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Jones-Drew

    Can someone point out where I'm wrong here?

    The question is worded wrong as usual. It should have been 2006 not 2007.

    It was for the 2006 season, but awarded in 2007.

    From his Wikipedia article.

    Nevertheless, he finished tied for 2nd in the balloting for Offensive Rookie of the Year (Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans was the winner).

    Hmmm. I also missed this second question, and when I went to check on sbr trivia as suggested by Milwaukee Mike, I found no second question listed. It only showed the first question and answer. Something smells fishy here! ( this is for the BTP contest question)

    I would really like SBR to come up with this question asked of me. Did it really say correct answer 20 and was 15 weeks which is correct even available?

    That's offensive rookie of the year, which I imagine, is different from rookie of the year.

    I've been jipped!

    I think I had the same question a couple weeks ago, but it was asking about the BTP Saturday Poker Tourneys and not about the actual BTP handicapping tourney.

    No Roadtrip, that was a different question that I also had a couple of weeks ago. I am wondering where BigBoyDan is? He has weighed in on every other thread that I have looked at! Something smells fishy here.
