Sports Trivia December 2010
ByDuring the past week we ran the December version of sports trivia. it was, per usual, a good time with some interesting sports conversation. good to see that Curt Susnoski made it out for a Sports Trivia night!
We ran with three teams: The “Cliff Lee” crew, Million Dollar man and IRS, and the Mad Elf crew.
there were four rounds of questions, including some sound clips, and a few “identify the pictures”.

- What is Ted Giannoulas better known as?
