Greetings! Welcome to the SAS Sports Media Sheep Game 2014! This is how the game works. I will provide 20 statements or questions for you, broken up into four categories. The object of this game is to give the most common answer that you think will be given by the rest of the sheep. For each answer you give, you get a number of points equal to the number of people who also gave that answer. If you say "red" and 10 other people say red, you get 11 points. If you say "blue" and no one else said blue, you get 1 point. The person with the most points wins Submit your entries to me with your SA username and "Sheep Game Entry" as the subject and your answers as the body, to sas-media-sheep-at-gmail-.com (remove the dashes). Your answers should be given with one answer on each line, in order, and with no numbers and no questions. This is will save me like ten hours in editing time. Please do that. The deadline for entries is one week from now, 11:59 PM EST time, Sunday, June 22nd. The reveal, if all goes according to plan, will be the following Tuesday, June 24th, at 8 PM, unless it takes me longer or I decide that going to the pool is more important or whatever. The four categories are general catchall, written word, spoken word, and so you all can stretch your comedy muscles and see who can sprint down the Road to Hell the fastest. For written/spoken word, only judge someone on that particular category. If there's someone who's great at writing but sucks on TV, don't punish them for their lovely TV work when answering a written word category. For general catchall you can go by their entire body of work. Points of clarification: Reporter: Someone who gathers information and presents it to the audience. We expect them to give us facts Commentator: Someone who tells us stupid, stupid people what to think about certain things. We expect them to give us their opinion, no matter how dumb or wrong it is. Play-by-play: During an event, this is the person who tells us what is happening. Color Commentary: During an event, this is the person who tells us why something is happening. Sideline Reporter: During an event, this person will chime in with information or factoids about the event. Usually they're by the field of play, hence the title. Talking head: During an event, someone who sits behind a desk and flaps their gums. May be in the studio or on site. Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTIONS ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Got it? Okay. Here are the questions:
Once again: DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBERS OR QUESTIONS ON YOUR ENTRY FORM! Undying gratitude goes to XyloJW, who's OP for the D&D Sheep Game I've shamelessly ripped off. Side note, if anyone has the software that's can easily sort this poo poo out, send it to the above e-mail address so I don't have to fight my way through an excel sheet and it takes two weeks before the reveal. Good luck! C. Everett Koop fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jun 16, 2014 |

Maybe I'm just slow today but I don't get what you mean by non-specific in question 2?

Grittybeard posted:Maybe I'm just slow today but I don't get what you mean by non-specific in question 2? When I mean specific it's along the lines of "I want to know what Strawberry hit in '88 so I'm going to baseball-reference.com." It's like word association, when I think sports I think XYZ.

The hardest question I couldn't think of an answer so I just went with a joke one. Otherwise this was one of the more difficult sheeps to answer.

I take it we can list a specific event at the Olympics, or did you mean to exlude all the events? I took the wording to just exclude listing the Olympics as a whole.

Yeah, the goal was to exclude the Olympics in general as a way of keeping the answers from being time-sensitive, since if I just excluded the big 4 the World Cup would rank heavily, and if I ran this in the winter the Olympics was rank heavily and so forth.

I realized doing this that even though I watch sports all the damned time I don't really...care enough to have strong feelings on a lot of these. Other than people who I hate I guess.

Fairly obvious with the forums being in flux, but this is on hold until we know this joint will be around. Feel free to still send in answers in the meantime and hopefully this'll be finished sooner than later.

Not funny black sheep answers are the worst and I bet I have at least three of them from blanking on things.

As with the last nhl sheep game I am offering an avatar change or other forum thing of equal value () to the funniest overall (probably low scoring) sheep. I waited till after the deadline to announce this so it won't skew the results, hope some of you guys and gals were funny without bribes.

Looking forward to it. I don't know wrestling past 1992 or so enough to identify one of those pictures. Or I don't know it well enough up to then if it's before that.
