16. In soccer, an attacking player (number 13) on team B didn't sleep well last night, and he's very tired. He's so tired that he curls up on the field near the corner arc and falls asleep in an offside position. A few minutes later, play returns to Team A's side of the field. A goal is scored, but the parents on Team A are screaming about an offside call. Do you make one? (1)
17. In which year did the NFL go to a two-division format, with each division winner playing for the NFL Championship? (1)

16.Assuming that you are the ref, no, there is no offside penalty. Despite the fact that the player is in an offside position, he is not involved in active play, unless the ball touches him as it enters the goal, which I doubt occured. The goal is good, and the parents should shutup, they don't know enough about socer/football to make calls. That's what you're for.

I guess it was hard. The answer was 1933. Anyway, the round should've ended on the 2nd, but I was too lazy. So whatever, I get the point.

21. Oh geez. Uh, its the '27 Yankees, so Ruth and Gerhig are obvious. I know Combs and Lazzeri were there then as well. Definitly read in some book about a guy named Meusel hitting behind Gerhig. Definitely saw Koenig when I looked up how to spell Meusel's name. Hurr Durr

EP: You're missing 2 people (check your positions); you have 6/8.

Wikipedia wrote: Murderer's Row was the nickname given to the New York Yankees baseball team of the late 1920's, in particular the first six hitters in the 1927 team lineup. hurr durr
The other two are Dugan and Collins. Never heard of either of them.
