Question of the Week
What 1993 show starring Glenn Frey of the Eagles was cancelled after 1 episode?
Final JGTSpI Scores
Here they are. If you’re in the yellow, congrats, your team made the cut! If you’re in blue, you’re on the bubble and might get an invite if anyone else cancels. And if you didn’t make the cut, there’s still hope: this is wild card week, so any team that wins this week gets an automatic invite.
All invites will be sent out tomorrow. The event takes place this Sunday at Lo Spiedo at 5:30 p.m.
JGT To Host on WIP Tonight
I will be a guest host on WIP 94.1 tonight at 10 p.m. If you’ve ever played quizzo and thought, “if only this guy would stop asking trivia questions and start talking about Sam Bradford’s holdout, that would be awesome”, well tonight’s the night! You can listen on air or you can listen online here. Gonna be on from 10 PM to 2 AM. There is still quizzo tonight: Chip Chantry will be hosting at Sidecar tonight. So come on by the Sidecar, then tune into 94.1. Got a lot of fun things to talk about, and some great interviews. Gonna talk to Bryan Arman Graham of the Guardian about chasing down Julio Franco, Art from Foobooz to talk about cheesesteaks, and Ian Riccaboni talks about his new book, The 100 Greatest Phillies of All Time.

Saturday is Didi Day at Shibe Sports
Ray Didinger has been such a great friend to the store in our first couple of years that we wanted to pay it back. So this Saturday is Didi Day at the store, with 40% of all in store proceeds going toward the production of Didi’s new play, Tommy and Me, a play he wrote about his lifelong friendship with Eagles great Tommy McDonald. I love it when a brilliant guy like Didinger decides to go out of his wheelhouse and tackle something new (In this case playwriting), and I’m really excited to see the final product.
The best news for you as a fan is that Didinger will be in the store on Saturday at 4 p.m. to discuss his play and his thoughts on last week’s draft. Wanna hear what one of the best sports writers in America thinks about Carson Wentz and the Eagles decision to trade that many draft picks? Be sure to come by the store on Saturday. For those of you who have come by to see him before, you know what a cool experience it is and what a terrific speaker he is. If you haven’t, and you’re a football fan, you really owe it to yourself to do so. Just a really neat and intimate experience. Hope to see you Saturday!
Only One Quiz Tonight
Industry is hosting a Craft Beer Week event tonight, so there will be no quiz there tonight. We’ll be back in action next week. We are on for Bards at 9:30 p.m. Final quiz to earn points in in the JGTSpI. Invites will go out this weekend. See ya tonight!
Quizzo Tonight
4 more quizzes left to earn points! Action starts at the Vous at 6:15 and on to Founding Fathers at 8:30. See ya tonight!
Updated JGTSpI Scores
Here you go. You’ve got one last week to score some points, so you better make it happen ASAP. Teams in yellow would make the cut if the season ended today. Teams in blue are right on the bubble. Teams in green might want to start making things happen. Also worth noting, last nights results at Sidecar are not included here.
Be sure to check the scores…some teams changed team names and there is a chance I missed a team somewhere, so want to make sure we get these right. I know I forgot to include Alla Spina a couple of times in scores but I did get those wins in the standings.
There is a new facebook challenge up…post a pic of yourself as a teenager and you earn your team a point. (These should be quite amusing).
As for the event itself, as stated earlier, it will be held outdoors at Lo Spiedo, which is at the Navy Yard. Very cool space. I’ll send out invites this weekend.
Quizzo Tonight
Action starts at O’Neals and Alla Spina at 8 p.m. Very fun quiz tonight. You should definitley try to make it out. This is one of the better ones I’ve written lately. $50 gift cert at O’neals, $100 if you can crack 120 points. Great food, terrific atmosphere at Alla Spina.
On to Tap House at 10:15 p.m. It’s almost exam time, but what the hell, you’re already graduating anyway so you might as well come on out and celebrate. See ya tonight!
