The Same Name Challenge

AgPete · 02-25-2003, 01:20 PM

Simple game that borrows WSUCougar's odds/even scoring system. Your user ID# picks which team you belong on. One point for each person you correctly name. Unlimited entries for everyone.

Name a first and last name that is shared by--

A) A Professional Athlete (any sport, Olympic athletes welcome too)
B) A Media Celebrity (actors, filmmakers, authors, singers, etc.)

Both people can be from any era. Make sure you identify who both figures are.

I'll start a simple one for the odds:

Kevin Smith

A) Cornerback Dallas Cowboys 90's
B) Director/Writer (Clerks, Mallrats, etc.)

Odds 1, Evens 0
