S4 E3 - Mr. and Mrs. Irrelevant

With the third overall episode in Quiz and Hers Season 4, Justin selects… a whole game about the NFL Draft! We also trade questions about Midwest geography, a uniquely modern form of art, and antitrust law. Will Justin’s picks pay off, or will Hallie win this Draft Day competition? 3:20: Q1 (Sports & Games): One of the most notable trades in draft history happened in 2004, when the San Diego Chargers drafted a quarterback with the first overall pick. He refused to play for San Diego, so they traded him to the New York Giants for another QB, whom they had drafted fourth overall. Name both of these now-veteran signal-callers. 13:17: Q2 (Times & Places): The 2015 and 2016 drafts were held in Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre, across the street from what historic park, which is named for a President, and hosted a draft-themed fair? 20:23: Q3 (Science): The draft is when the NFL relies most heavily on the methods of data science, but American football has been slower to adopt analytics than other sports. In other words, the NFL does not yet have an equivalent to what empirical, data-driven approach to building a baseball team, which gets its name from the Society for American Baseball Research? 32:37: Q4 (Everything Else): The NFL’s drafting procedures have occasionally come under scrutiny as restricting players’ autonomy, but the league has argued that, because they are agreed on in collective bargaining between the Player’s Association and the League, they are not in violation of what Antitrust Act, named for an Ohio Senator? 40:37: Q5 (Arts & Literature): To promote last year’s draft, the NFL commissioned five artists, including Jerod “Dtox” Davies and Jose “Bware Sparks” Ramirez to paint five top prospects at various sites around Dallas. What particular type of art were these paintings? 46:37: Q6 (Sounds & Screen): From 2006 to 2014, the draft was held in what New York City venue, known for its art deco architecture, concerts, and Christmas shows?
