IWS #171 Results

[hoopsguy]

Stupid refuses to take an exorbitant amount of time flexing in front of the mirror in his wifebeater and Zubas. No, instead these results have been tallied and posted on the kind of schedule that even Victor Conte could appreciate.

1.) Name the most surprising steroid user of the last 30 years.

Stupid is shocked by baseball players, but finds the PED use of football players, runners, and cyclists blase. And apparently Stupid follow the Yankees closely:
5 - Alex Rodriguez
4 - Roger Clemens
3 - Mark McGwire
3 - Andy Pettite
1 - Marion Jones, Ryan Franklin, Rick Ankiel, Rafael Palmeiro, Wally Joyner, and Pumpy Tudors

2.) Name the next steroid-linked baseball player to be admitted into the Hall of Fame.

Only three candidates appeared on ballots, with one getting over 50% of the vote. And it was not the one in the news last week.
11 - Barry Bonds
5 - Mark McGwire
5 - Roger Clemens

3.) What percentage of football players do you believe have used steroids at some point during their NFL career?

This was the one question I immediately regretted after posting, figuring that stupid would immediately go with 50% and not look back. While that was the "right" answer it was not quite as big a margin of victory as I expected to see.
7 - 50%
4 - 75%
2 - 100%
2 - 25%
1 - 90, 30, 99, 80, 70, 35

4.) The cream or the clear?

The power of "first listed" prevailed by a narrow margin.
11 - Cream
9 - Clear
1 - HGH

5.) In what sport do steroids provide the least value?

Despite a pretty wide spread, there was a clear right answer here judging by the fact that the top three overall scorers all paid attention to my FOFC handle.
6 - Basketball
3 - Golf
2 - Curling
2 - NASCAR
1 - Poker, Soccer, Fishing, Baseketball, Baseball, Chess, Hockey, Bowling

6.) What college or pro coach do you suspect might be sneaking steroids on the side?

Stupid struggled with the open-ended nature of this question, but overall went with the guy in the news as the "best" answer.
4 - Lane Kiffen
3 - Bill Belichek
2 - Pete Carroll
2 - Bobby Knight
2 - Jack Del Rio
1 - Tom Cable, Joe Girardi, Mike Stoops, Phil Jackson, Urban Meyer, Bruce Pearl, John Harbaugh, Ed Orgeron


And the results:

Pathetic Weaklings:
SackAttack 77
Claphamsa 99

Thats what I had as well. After I sent it I realized stupid wouldnt know what NASCAR was.

Surprised by the low number that stupid decided on for Steroid users in the NFL. Anyone seen how big and fast them guys are?

[PurdueBrad]

<-------- Just happy not to have finished last.

[claphamsa]

Im pretty sure I had nascar too... maybe i changed at the last min....

I dont get people thinking only 50% of NFL players. I was 99.... and you would REALLY have to sell me on it being that low.

+1

[Abe Sargent]

I was kinda hoping I had this too. Ah well.

[Airhog]

There is a mistake, although it doesnt affect the results. the last answer was mike stoops not bob

[hoopsguy]

AH - oops. Had written down the right name in spreadsheet but brain-locked when typing it here. I'll update post #1 to reflect the correct Stoops.

[MIJB#19]

I totally expected Mark McGwire to sweep questions 1 and 2 and should have known better for question 3 to go with 50% over 100%. Then still, that was a much better result than I expected. I totally owned SackAttack, it seems.

[Toddzilla]

Wait, it's been less than a month since you posted the questions. Is there a paradigm shift that I missed?

[cmp]

I'm going to have to pass over IWS #172 over to CU Tiger. I'm going to be gone for week for two weeks so we would never get the next one done if I were to do it.

Nah. You're just more in touch with Stupid than am I.

I went for the snark, and, well...it went about how I expected it to.

Sorry guys.

My MIL was killed unexpectedly this week, and I have been away from the computer helping the wife arrange everything for her.

I will have something up this weekend

Wow, my condolences to you, your wife and your wife's family. That's terrible news. Take all the time you need.
