Answers:
| 1. | Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, pass this team the brandy... Who emerged as NHL champion last week? | ||
|
Chicago Blackhawks | ||
| Nashville Predators | |||
| New York Rangers | |||
| Tampa Bay Lightning | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
The author of this quiz wants it stated for the record that the Blackhawks had to cripple Nashville's captain to earn their tainted victory. The author may be bitter. |
|||
| 2. | Every MLB manager who still has a job, step forward. Not so fast, recently terminated San Diego skipper... | ||
|
|
Bud Black | ||
| Bruce Bochy | |||
| Kirk Gibson | |||
| Fredi Gonzalez | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Lofty preseason expectations for San Diego undid Black, who failed to benefit from a slew of new talent. |
|||
| 3. | Houston, you have a problem. It seems that this organization inexplicably pulled an Edward Snowden on you. Who hacked the Astros? | ||
| Boston Red Sox | |||
| Chicago Cubs | |||
|
|
St. Louis Cardinals | ||
| Texas Rangers | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
The better question is not who hacked the Astros but why. At the time, Houston's AA team was about as good as the Astros. |
|||
| 4. | Everything in life is cyclical, even Boston Red Sox batters hitting for the cycle. Which of their players became the first since 1996 to get a single, double, triple and homer in the same game? | ||

| Xander Bogaerts | |||
|
|
Brock Holt | ||
| David Ortiz | |||
| 5. | Okay, let's hit on a couple of obvious questions. How many games did Golden State need to break LeBron's heart in the NBA Finals? | ||
| Five | |||
|
|
Six | ||
| Seven | |||
| Isn't LeBron's heart always broken in the NBA Finals? | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Six is the technical answer, but option 4 is philosophically correct. |
|||
| 6. | Who won the MVP Award for the NBA Finals? | ||
| Steph Curry | |||
|
|
Andre Iguodala | ||
| LeBron James | |||
| Klay Thompson | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Despite Iguodala's victory, King James led all players in scoring, rebounds and assists. It's just a damn popularity contest, right? |
|||
| 7. | What was historic about Andre Iguodala (did you get it right?) winning MVP? | ||
| He didn't hit a single three-pointer in the Finals. | |||
| He never scored in double figures in the Finals. | |||
|
|
He never started a game during the regular season. | ||
| He never started a game during the Finals. | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
You know that Golden State was good if a guy from the 2012 US Olympics gold medal winning team didn't start all year. |
|||
| 8. | Hey, let's talk about men in bad pants for a moment. Which golfer won the US Open? | ||
| Dustin Johnson | |||
| Louis Oosthuizen | |||
| Adam Scott | |||
|
|
Jordan Spieth | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
Surprisingly, Oosthuizen is a real name. Anyway, Spieth has a chance at the Grand Slam now. |
|||
| 9. | HWDYK hates to be negative about this sort of thing, but one golfer undeniably choked yesterday. Whose three-putt was the difference between winning the US Open and finishing tied for second? | ||
|
|
Dustin Johnson | ||
| Louis Oosthuizen | |||
| Adam Scott | |||
| Jordan Spieth | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
We're guessing Johnson didn't sleep much last night after his gamble to win cost him a playoff. |
|||
| 10. | Despite collapsing on the course, thereby requiring medical attention, this golfer somehow recovered and finished tied for 9th in the tournament. | ||
|
|
Jason Day | ||
| Branden Grace | |||
| Rory McIlroy | |||
| Cameron Smith | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Day overcame a bout of vertigo to finish at even par, but he clearly struggled with health issues during his +4 final round. |
|||
| 11. | Let's talk about the hilarious MLB All-Star voting fiasco. How many Kansas City Royals are currently leading the vote to start in the mid-season classic? | ||
| Six | |||
| Seven | |||
|
|
Eight | ||
| Nine | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Yes, the team as currently composed is Mike Trout plus eight Royals. If you're wondering, Alex Rios is officially the least popular Royal. He's currently fourth in the voting. |
|||
| 12. | Bad news, NFL fans! This won't be returning in 2015. | ||
| The extra point | |||
|
|
Johnny Football's signature Money Sign | ||
| Post-halftime alcohol concessions | |||
| The San Francisco 49ers since they all retired | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Then again, it's no big loss since Manziel has never had an opportunity to use the Money Sign in the NFL. |
|||
| 13. | Matt Scherzer continues to struggle with his adjustment to the National League. In his most recent start, he barely even... | ||
| Struck out 19. | |||
|
|
Threw a no-hitter | ||
| Threw another one-hitter | |||
| Threw a perfect game | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
Scherzer lost a perfect game on a two-out, two-strike HBP where the batter leaned into the pitch. He still got the no-hitter, though. |
|||
| 14. | Which of the following statements is true of Tiger Woods at the US Open: | ||
| He missed the cut | |||
| He shot 80 in the opening round | |||
| He sought romantic reconciliation with his ex-wife in the media. | |||
|
|
All of the above | ||
|
By way of explanation.....
In addition to all of the above, we also would have accepted "continues to prove the existence of karma." |
|||
| 15. | Finally, this baseball team was already having a lousy season, but they suffered further indignity when a bunch of highly paid athletes ran in fear from an adorable squirrel. Which team needs to give back its man card? | ||
| Chicago White Sox | |||
| Milwaukee Brewers | |||
|
|
Philadelphia Phillies | ||
| Seattle Mariners | |||
|
By way of explanation.....
So far, nobody has found a way to blame Ruben Amaro for this, but God knows they're trying. |
