All Football Quizzo on Sunday!

sports-triva-fb

Think there’s no football this Sunday besides the lame Pro Bowl? Think again! There’s gonna be an All-Pro football quizzo at Founding Fathers Sports Bar & Grill at 5:30 on Sunday, hosted by Shibe co-owner Johnny Goodtimes. In addition to testing your pigskin knowledge, there will also be various $4.50 craft beers and $5 Nachos and Quesadillas. Most questions will be from the Super Bowl era. Gonna be a lot of fun, and you might learn a thing or two. (As far as questions asked: almost all NFL, lots of Super Bowl questions, with perhaps a few USFL and “Where did so and so play in college?” type questions. But far and away mostly NFL). See ya Sunday!

$100 for 100 Points at O’Neals; Free Money Faceoff at City Tap

We kick it off tonight at O’Neals, where we’ll be trying something new…instead of our normal $50 gift cert for the winners, we’ll be giving out $100 to the winning team…if they can score 100 or more points. (the double prize activates if we get 25 or more players tonight, so be sure to bring your full squad.) Apps during quizzo are only $5, and Mexican beers are $3.50. Action starts at 8 p.m.

On to Tap House at 10:15 p.m., where we’ve kicked off the New Year with a new game…Free Money Faceoff, where players go head to head to see who can come away with a $10 gift certificate for their team. And of course we’ve got 2 for $20 pizzas and $3 Gansetts. See ya tonight!

Quizzo Tonight!

Yes, we are on for tonight. Action starts at North Star at 7 p.m. On to Sidecar at 9:30.

We’re also having a “100 point challenge” tomorrow night at O’Neals. Any team that scores 100 and wins, wins an extra $50 gift cert, making it “$100 for 100”. The only caveat is: we gotta get 30 people there for the challenge to activate. So get your crew out to O’Neals tmrw night at 8.

Quizzo Bowl Tickets Now On Sale! Motown Throwdown Takes Place on February 21st!


WHO: You, me, and nerds from as far away as Seattle and Denver.

WHAT: Quizzo Bowl XI, the most prestigious quizzo event in the country.

WHEN: February 21st, 2015. 8 p.m.

WHERE: World Cafe Live (3025 Walnut Street). The Downstairs.

HOW BIG CAN MY TEAM BE? Teams can be up to 8 players each.

WHAT KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT WILL THERE BE BETWEEN ROUNDS? An incredible Motown group, the York Street Hustle (above) will play between rounds. I’m also going to be assisted by one of Philly most beloved comedians, Chip Chantry, and of course my lovely assistant, Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez.

HOW MUCH IS IT? $25 per player.

FASTBALL BOB IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION BY HIMSELF. I am aware of that.

WHAT IF WE HAVE A TEAM OF 4 OR LESS? Let me know…I’ll team you up with another small team.
ysh_group

WHERE CAN I GET TICKETS? I’ll have tickets for sale on me at quizzo, or you can purchase them online at World Cafe Live.

IS THERE LIKE PRIZES AND STUFF? Yes, winning team walks with $800 worth of prizes. In addition, I am offering a $100 bounty prize as well to any new winners. So if you’re any team other than Sofa Kingdom, Lambda, the Jeopardy Champs, or Where’s Johnny, there’s a bonus prize.

ARE THE QUESTIONS ALL ABOUT MOTOWN? No, the theme is just Motown because the band is a Motown band. I’d expect a few questions about Detroit, but the quiz itself is all general knowledge, like a regular quiz, except with a few twists.

WHAT ABOUT GIVEAWAYS? Oh yeah, plenty of giveaways throughout the night.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID ONE OF THESE ON BOARD A BOAT? Yes.

THAT WAS PRETTY STUPID, HUH? Yeah, pretty stupid.

WE HATE BOATS. I am aware of that now.

WHAT ELSE? Rumors that Johnny and Chip are going to be bringing back an old vaudeville favorite of theirs from back in the day: the Wheel of Terrific is apparently making a comeback. Also, best dressed team wins a sweet prize. Be sure to follow the Quizzo Bowl page on Facebook for updates.

SO FOR $25, I GET A MOTOWN BAND, A CHANCE TO WIN $900, ONE OF PHILLY’S BEST COMEDIANS AND FASTBALL PITCHER BOB GUTIERREZ? That is correct.

AND I DON’T HAVE TO GET ON A BOAT? There will be no boat.

SOUNDS LIKE A STEAL OF A DEAL! It is! And get your tickets soon, because once they sell out, they sell out. And when I don’t do them on boats, they tend to sell out quickly. I’ll have them on me starting tonight at quizzo. Get ready. The Motown Throwdown is gonna be awesome!
