Dream Team Dominance - Weekly Trivia!

Say what you will about the television coverage, the 2012 Olympics were immensely entertaining, and the American competitors did our country proud. Even the inherently unlikeable men's basketball Flawed Squad rose to the occasion and won the gold. While head-to-head comparisons are never easy when considering temporal differences, there is quite a gap between the original Dream Team and the 2012 edition when it comes to smallest margin of victory. For the latter, it was 5 points. The former: 32 points.

Unfortunately no one picked more than 26 points as the smallest margin of victory. Oh ye of great underestimation. Better luck with this week's question, which is of course about football as I prep for multiple fantasy drafts:

Which of the following players rushed for the least number of yards last year?

• Darren Sproles
• Tim Tebow
• Shonn Greene
• DeMarco Murray
• Adrian Peterson

Good luck with the trivia and any drafts on the horizon.

TDZ's Fantasy Football Draft Primer 2K12

Contrary to what Macy's would have you believe, this is the most wonderful time of the year: fantasy football draft season. Last year I provided some expert insights on draft day bargains at most positions, including Matt Stafford's 5,000+ yard, 40+ TD season, 1,000 yards and double-digit TDs from Beanie Wells, and Bengals uber-rookie A.J. Green.

With such a track record, it would be selfish for me to hoard all my fantasy football know-how. Click below for some of the best players to target in 2012.

Young'ns - Weekly Trivia!

Well, it's been almost a month since our last trivia question, so I suppose it's about time I came back from "vacation" and resumed danger-posting.

In all that time, there was only one response, but it was the correct one: Jimmie Foxx was NOT an All-Star as a teenager. If you'll indulge my Wire lexicon: he was aight, though. Congrats to Spaldawg on the trivia dub.

The rounder your face was back then, the more home runs you hit. Exhibit B.

This week I've got to talk about the Olympics. The U.S.A. men's basketball team narrowly escaped eternal ignominy recently with a 99-94 win over Lithuania. The former eastern bloc squad exhibited a fluid offense while packing the paint defensively, keeping our shooters on the perimeter. And you know shooting from long-distance should be a last resort when most of the team can't even see the glasses they put on in the morning. Someone put their lenses back in and give them a mirror, please, they need to see how ridiculous they look.

Without further ado: what was the SMALLEST margin of victory for the original Dream Team at the 1992 Olympics?

• 5 points
• 19 points
• 26 points
• 32 points
• 45 points

Good luck, and welcome back to reading my blog.
