I say this every week, but this one is tough! On the other hand, I might know all of those basketball players. We should have more college hoops questions!

I looked at that slideshow and realized I might know less about college basketball than I do college football. I'm 90% sure I know one guy, and 50% on a second one. Now the food, I'm pretty confident on and tried 8 of them (unless I'm wrong).

You're playing a guy that routinely provides answers that are noted to not be eligible in the question.
(Though, just sent, and I'm preeeety sure I avoided that nonsense this week.)

So are we like operating under the premise that there's only one cause of death, lack of blood/oxygen to the brain, and these are just what non-pedants normally would refer to as the cause?

Only Shirley and BSF now. A little pregame side question:
The hockey penalty database has 8 different calls that were only made one time in this window. One of them was for a coach or manager on the ice and one of them was for a player leaving the penalty box. Can you name either one? (I'm only asking because you probably can)

Game of the Week
As chronicled by SL last week, lots at stake in the AFC this week with 6 teams at .500 or better in the middle of the conference all playing each other. Let's go with the best records of the bunch though, as the 8-4 Syb Colts battle the 7-5 Rex Bengals
NFL SNL Skit of the Week
Halftime Report of the Week
Steve McNair suffers a mild concussion and could return. All quarterbacks for the Bengals get banged around. The America Online Keyword is NFL.com
