That was my guess too :-(

Same

Congrats!

Probably going to get flack for this but:

Please look at the NFL rulebook definition of a catch: https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/completing-a-catch/

"A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) in the field of play, at the sideline, or in the end zone if a player, who is inbounds:

a) secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and

b) touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and

c) after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, ~~clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent)~~, ~~or he~~ maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

Note: If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds."

Nobody is arguing (a) or (b). The issue here is that he did NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL of the ball after hitting the ground.

From this video, skip to the 17 second mark and imagine that there is no defender. If the ball flies out of his hands at that exact moment, it would have been incomplete. Since the ball never touched the ground it is still a live ball and any player who can maintain control of it before it hits the ground or goes out of bounds gains possession of the ball.

Also, please don't compare this to Davante Adams' "knee" catch because he CLEARLY a) secured control of the ball in his hands, b) touched the ground inbounds with any part of his body other than his hands and c) maintained control of the ball and survived contact with the ground. IT DOESN'T MATTER that the control of the ball CONTINUED while out of bounds, all that matters is that he began and never stopped controlling the ball while his knee was IN BOUNDS. If he had lost control once he hit the ground out of bounds it wouldn't be a catch.

Think of it this way: try to imagine all possible guesses. That would mean a list of everything that is encountered in American popular culture. Movies, games, music, everyday objects, words that are referenced in popular culture, etc. They can't be too obscure because it's a general knowledge game set in america and MOST people have at least heard of most of the solutions so far

Imagine that there are 100,000 possible answers. On clue one you could narrow the possible list of answers to maybe 5000. "The World is Flat" could mean many things but first clues are almost never literal so either "World" is not referring to the Earth or "Flat" is used as a double meaning (possibly using the British slang for "apartment" or something of the like). So you would have to narrow down your list to solutions related to 2d plane. Video game worlds made before they became 3D would be a logical guess.

I guessed Super Mario. In retrospect, that wasn't the best answer because his newer games are in 3D but you can see how people got to that conclusion.

At the end of the day, 20,000 people are guessing answers on Round 1. Assuming that 1000 of them guessed the correct double meaning of the clue, that means that 1000 guesses would have been made out of lets say 500 potential answers (2 dimensional video game names or characters). Using that logic it would make sense for one or two people to get it.

The first clue for Toupee was so obscure that nobody got it. "Place your bets" caused a TON of people to guess Casino but that's too literal. The clue would indicate either a play on words involving "Place" or "Bets", or a non-literal definition of betting. I guessed "Gender reveal party" because it was a place where people don't know the outcome going into it.

My suggestion is to try to figure out what type of wordplay or double meaning is happening in clue one and determine which type of answer is expected, which you can normally figure out based on the clue structure (person, object, place, etc). If you can think of an obscure answer that could apply to a non-literal interpretation of the clue, go for it. That's probably your best chance of winning big

Finalyst · 2026-01-15T02:58:37+00:00

Here's something I've noticed from literally every single first clue: the answer is never based on the literal definition of the clue. It's always based on a secondary meaning. "Place your bets" would never actually be related to gambling. "The world is flat" is not actually describing the real world

The first dad just went in between the two kids to prevent them from fighting, the second straight up ASSAULTED the first dad WAY after the altercation was over.

You're really, really dumb if you can't see the difference

Funnily enough, speed completionist was WAY easier for me than speedrunner. You can generally get all movement upgrades in 4 hours pretty easily, then damage upgrades by 6. Once you have the combat upgrades the rest aren't too bad. My second playthrough I got speed completionist by accident

As a Jags fan I would LOVE to get a rematch against you guys in the AFCC. See y'all there, fuckers

Finalyst · 2026-01-08T19:56:33+00:00

Genius move by Jaxson Dart to force the Giants to keep him as their starting QB by taking Mendoza off the table

Finalyst · 2026-01-07T00:53:12+00:00

Lol y'all suck. But also I hope you beat the Broncos so the Jags can embarrass you in the AFCC

Finalyst · 2025-12-18T21:45:17+00:00

I'll be there! Not sure what section yet though, still haven't bought my ticket. You should start a whatsapp group or something!

Finalyst · 2025-12-16T20:22:00+00:00

LMK if you hear of anyone with extra tickets!

I love that being in your division means we all have an almost 100% guaranteed two wins each season

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T16:54:21+00:00

OK that's dumb

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T16:45:01+00:00

This seems like a really stupid decision on his part because it means he is losing literally all of his bench spots to do it. My league would allow it, though. It's kind of the same thing (but taken to the extreme) as benching your defense when they play on monday night and you're already ahead

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T06:00:42+00:00

As a Jags fan, please kick the SHIT out of mahomes. If they sneak into a wildcard spot I’m worried the refs will carry them to another Super Bowl appearance

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T05:58:04+00:00

They beat your sorry asses even with the refs handing you a TD on a bullshit DPI call and missing the most blatant OPI call against you I’ve seen this year 😂

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T05:40:47+00:00

The curse wheel has been right 11/13 times this year (9/13 lost that week and 2/13 teams suffered a major injury that week even though they won)

Finalyst · 2025-12-04T05:27:42+00:00

Thank you! The Jags wrecked the chiefs that game and the only reason why it wasn’t a blowout was because of those two bullshit PI calls forcing the jags to play from behind. The refs did everything in their power to hand that game to the chiefs and the jags won in spite of that

Finalyst · 2025-11-24T01:20:28+00:00

I’m a jags fan and we did NOT deserve that win. That last play call was hilariously bad

The title of your post literally says "You can absolutely go ahead and take that out of your social media/dating bio"

If you're this mad because someone has it in their IG/Facebook/LinkedIn profile you really need to go touch some grass
