Felt weird knowing the response to the DD that James missed. I was like damn the one I do know you miss and potentially change the game, man.

Yep, thought for sure he would nail garnet with sports background. Thought he was a pretty big sports trivia guy as a kid based on his video.

Brad keeps missing the classic comment. When Alex tells him he's first in Double Jeopardy, he needs to say "I wish you could stop saying that Alex."

James going the Saj route was nails along with GHOST.

I'll be interested in the gamesmanship now that Ken is one win away.

Will James/Brad if they're in 3rd place in a game go silent to help the other win to prevent Ken from winning? In this setup, losing can give you a chance to win it all as long as Ken doesn't win.

You and I know the answer was Garnet. James is the type of sports trivia guy who probably knows FSU's average passing yards allowed against non conference power 5 opponents at neutral fields in the month of September.

Great game theory question here, and not starred near enough.

Does anyone else feel stupid when you hear the questions?
I told my wife - what really gets me is when I've never even remotely heard of anything in the question or the answer.

On the flip side, after writing about 300 blogs on cybersecurity for a client in the past year, I got the entire category right last night. Probably the only time I've ever done so when the category wasn't sports or star wars.

I actually got Final Jeopardy right and the contestants didn't. I feel smart.
Not to bring you down, but James and Brad could've missed intentionally. Game was over.

LOL at "OK Boomer". I like how Ken directed it toward Alex

What's fun with the way these guys are playing though is that they make you feel like a doofus early on with the big money questions, and then the end of the round picks your confidence back up with some easy questions you might know. So it's not totally demoralizing, which is nice

I can honestly say I got the Steve Largent question right that they didn't get. But I've been a Seattle fan since inception.

They knew him as a Senator from Oklahoma.

I knew it because I have a good friend who moved to Tulsa and he would always talk about him.

I got the Final Jeopardy answer of Ang Lee and Alfonso Cuaron. All three of them missed it, so I got that going for me.....

Largent was a Rep (1 of 435), not a Sen (1 of 100, or 2 per state).

Rep represents approx 600,000; Sen the entire state, regardless of population.

Sorry. Sue me.

It is important to be precise (and, obviously, correct) on a thread about trivia and high-level trivia players.

Well in that case, the word you are looking for is "accurate", not "precise".

Precise is the more accurate descriptor in the context of this thread: while Senators are federal representatives, and do represent, Representative has a specific, precise meaning and was Largent's official position for 8 years.

TexAgs is typically behind the cultural curve but obviously it's my responsibility as an Influencer to draw attention to key social media posts.

Exactly the same here. After getting all the cyber security questions (they were really pretty easy), I felt like a MFin rocket scientist. Then I realized that just means I'm really narrow in my interests.

James kicked ass, but didn't have any daily doubles again

Brad has to do what he can to help James. Ken has a 30000 plus lead heading into the second round.

I don't see why James bet so conservatively there. He's likely toast now. That's a huge gap to cover.
