Answers:

1.	Let's start the week with a gimme. Who won the 2013 Home Run Derby?
		Robinson Cano
		Yoenis Cespedes
		Bryce Harper
		Michael Cuddyer
		*By way of explanation.....* Cespedes hit 32 dingers including one that was literal. He dinged the very truck that wound up being his victory prize.

2.	Here is a question that is only slightly trickier than the last one. Who finished as the runner-up in the 2013 Home Run Derby? Hint: his brother was sporting an atrocious mustache. A picture of it has been on the front page of BOP this week.
		Robinson Cano
		Michael Cuddyer
		Prince Fielder
		Bryce Harper
		*By way of explanation.....* Note to Bryce Harper's brother: You, sir, are no Rollie Fingers.

3.	And now we ask a tricky question about the 2013 Home Run Derby. Who finished last?
		Robinson Cano
		Chris Davis
		Prince Fielder
		David Wright
		*By way of explanation.....* Cano, the AL captain, and Wright, the NL captain, finished with the fewest homers. Cano hit only four while Wright managed only five. Way to lead by example, gentlemen.

4.	As we all know, the Home Run Derby is just the appetizer while the All-Star game itself is the main entree. Let's ask an easy one about the contest. Which team won and by what score?
		American League, 3-0
		American League, 5-0
		National League, 4-3
		National League, 6-5
		*By way of explanation.....* The American League won by scoring as many runs, three, as the National League had hits in the game. The game was almost as boring as soccer. Almost.

5.	Which American League pitcher was honored by being allowed to warm up on the field by himself, thereby shining the entire All-Star game spotlight on him?
		Chris Sale
		Felix Hernandez
		Mariano Rivera
		Max Scherzer
		*By way of explanation.....* Nobody ever says Chris Sale. Rivera, as you know, is retiring after the season. The greatest closer of all time was lauded appropriately.

6.	Tampering, schampering. The Los Angeles Lakers have struck out this off-season by not only failing to acquire any new superstars but also losing one of their own, Dwight Howard. Recent catastrophes in free agency did not stop them from leaking their plans to sign these two stars next year, though.
		Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James
		Tim Duncan and LeBron James
		Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzski
		Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Love
		*By way of explanation.....* I understand that they are also planning to sign clones of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Fear not, Lakers fans! That idiot son of Jerry Buss has a plan!

7.	This celebrated collegiate athlete's favorite movie franchise must be The Hangover because he got kicked out of the Manning Family Football QB Camp after spending the prior evening carousing in local saloons and taverns. He claims he was...sick. And overslept. And his dog ate his iPhone scheduling app.
		Tajh Boyd
		Teddy Bridgewater
		Johnny Manziel
		A.J. McCarron
		*By way of explanation.....* That's gonna be one sick dog.

8.	Humility, thy name is... We are at the point in the football preseason where everyone is undefeated and feeling invincible. One stalwart football player asserted this week that opposing QBs are afraid of him, naming three who needed adult diapers to hide their worries last season.
		Jadeveon Clowney
		Clay Matthews
		DeMarcus Ware
		J.J. Watt
		*By way of explanation.....* Clowney is technically the only player in this group who is not in the NFL but you've seen YouTube. You know the deal. He may be confident but we don't think he's lying, either.

9.	Switching to golf, there was a shocking turn of events at the British Open. Which famous athlete (?) came from out of nowhere to win another major?
		Rory McIlroy
		Phil Mickelson
		Adam Scott
		Tiger Woods
		*By way of explanation.....* One of the BOP staff's favorite jokes is, "Has Phil Mickelson choked yet?" This week, everybody but him choked.

10.	Perhaps inspired by infamous alumnus Aaron Hernandez to channel his inner scumbag, a Florida Gators linebacker named Antonio Morrison was arrested for the second time in five weeks. What is his latest crime?
		Barking at a police dog
		Let's just say that he and his lady friend should have found a more private locale.
		Many of the iPhones he has sold on A-Mor-Us.biz were not in fact his property.
		Streaking through the police station
		*By way of explanation.....* Yes, barking at a police dog is a crime in Florida. Insert your own joke about the madness of Floridian laws.

11.	We are sure that you were all riveted by the Tour de France this year. Who is the winning rider and which country does he call home?
		Champion Souza/France
		Chris Froome/Great Britain
		Andrew Wiggins/Canada
		Bradley Wiggins/Great Britain
		*By way of explanation.....* Wiggins won last year while Froome won this year, giving DoctorWhoLand two straight victories.This question includes your obscure Triplets of Belleville ref of the day. You're welcome, loyal readers!

12.	Houston Astros starter Erik Bedard did something strange this week. What was it?
		He aced consecutive holes during the same round of golf during the All-Star Break.
		He left a game in the 7th inning when he was working on a no-hitter due to high pitch count.
		He walked a hitter intentionally with the bases loaded in a one run game.
		He wore his jock strap outside his pants.
		*By way of explanation.....* 148-pitch no-hitter throwing Tim Lincecum thinks Erik Bedard is not even a man.

13.	This famous retired NBA player lamented that a former team's lack of a head coach is "a joke." The team in question is obviously the Philadelphia 76ers. Who is the irritated player?
		Charles Barkley
		Wilt Chamberlain
		Darryl Dawkins
		Allen Iverson
		*By way of explanation.....* We love Charles but he has never met a microphone he didn't like.

14.	RG3's reign as the top selling jersey in the NFL has already ended. From April 1st to June 30th, RG3 fell to third place while this player's jersey was the most popular choice among NFL fans.
		Colin Kaepernick
		Adrian Peterson
		Manti Te'o
		Russell Wilson
		*By way of explanation.....* There was no word about whether Miami Dolphins baseball cap sales after increased after the SF QB got busted sporting one.

15.	Finally, let's take a fowl turn. Which MLB team has a worsening problem with hundreds of sea gulls that are beginning to swarm during games?
		New York Mets
		Oakland Athletics
		San Francisco Giants
		Seattle Mariners
		*By way of explanation.....* As with everything else related to the Giants, I blame Barry Bonds' steroid abuse. I bet the cheating scent is a powerful sea gull pheromone.
