Hints for 1/18, Last Week's Winners

Breaking news. It's really cold out. On days like this, we usually question our sanity and ask ourselves what we are doing in this beautiful state. Then we remember, every Wednesday night, Nerdy Fella$ Sports Page Trivia. We promise to bring the heat to the Page. That's not a metaphor, I'm bringing a small space heater, cause it's freaking freezing near the stage.


Hints for tonight:
Image Round - Classic video games
Sound Round - Cover songs

Winners!

Last week, the very appropriately named Brady's Bitch (Disciples of Tebow) beat up the opposition for another glorious victory. Unfortunately, their favorite football team did not follow suit. There was another football team that didn't do so hot this weekend either, I'm pretty sure that may be brought up.


Free to play, prizes to the top 3 teams. Come and join us at 7 tonight! Hope to see you there!
