        3rd question you are guessing most of the time.. Good luck it's a gamble if you go to the 3rd question.. First 2 questions are doable...

          I get first 2 correct about 90% of the time, but have never got the 3rd.

          The third will always trip me up with something from the 50s or 60s. It'll be something like "Who was the knuckleball reliever for so-n-so in the 1950something world series?" And all four choices will be players i never heard of.

          Never? There's 4 choices. 2 games a week. You win one every other week by guessing.

            I usually get the 1st two questions right.
            But I miss the 3rd question when I use the
            "Phone A Friend" option and no one is home.

              My last one was where did so-and-so go to college which is as easy as it gets. Most of them are 'who led the Bears in receptions during the 1996 season' and despite the fact I should get that pretty quick I usually run out of time.

                  Almost guessed it right using a contrarion answer.
                  I had to look it up afterwards, just to verify the correct answer that was shown....

                  Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal was born to a young, unwed mother in 1972, and it was just the two of them for much of Shaq's early childhood. ... "Shaquille is an Islamic name. It means 'little.' Rashaun means 'warrior.'

                  fun fact for the day

                        If u can't pull something up on Google quickly, u are best to randomly pick an answer and eliminate it. Chances are you will eliminate an incorrect answer. Then u have a 33% chance to guess the correct answer.

                            Holy crap i won one! Total blind guess "which s. african football club had won a record something something cup titles by 1984?" never heard of the league or the teams, i just guessed.

                            first was - who do the fans of university of texas cheer for - longhorns of course
                            second was - nba career leader in assists - stockton of course

                                Haven’t won a second question since this thread. Sbr must have ramped up the difficultly. Can only imagine the third questions now. Probably 1960s pro wrestling and women’s college soccer questions

                                        I only see the 3rd question 50% of the time!! Lol (I stop after 2 a lot more than miss the 1st 2),, positive the 50% of time I see 3rd question I only get it right 25% of time at best and I’d assume I’m well above average at sports trivia.

                                          im sure its better value to stop after questions 1 and 2, sometimes you get something crazy for even those 2 questions.

                                          occasionally, you do get a real question for the 3rd one, not something like whats the highest vanderbilt ranked in the sec in rushing in the 1990s

                                            Well I just tried go for the 3rd again but it timed/froze out and gave me an error message. Guess my cell reception was bad.
                                            But first was something about where you place football after this happens, I forget how they worded it, but answer was Spot of the Foul.
                                            Second was which of these foods is not normally associated with baseball, cracker jack, hot dogs, pretzels, or sardines

                                              I got so sick of missing the 3rd redic question I figured out I was way more likely to take the 60 point free play after 2nd and turn that into 175 by hitting a baseball 2 team parlay!!

                                                Those 3rd questions are always so obscure.

                                                    Kinda hard to answer when I can't see the choices. I got the first one correct, but have no idea about the second...can't even take a wild guess. lol.
