Our 3rd and final contestant, he was a former teammate of Steve Carlton, and now a baseball analyst, Tim McCarver!
Tim: Thank you Mookie. You know your name transcends all the way back to ancient times when......
Okay, the rules are simple, you have the NFL, the NBA, and the MLB as your categories, 1 point for each question, the person with the most points will win the game. Hands on the buzzers. Bryant, what would you like?
Bryant: I'll go with the NFL Mookie.
Alright, who was the MVP of Super Bowl 31? YES, Bryant!
Bryant: Is it Michael Jordan?
No, Shannon!
Shannon: BLUBUBHB Sterling Sharpe?
No, Tim?
Tim: Desmond Howard, mainly for that kickoff return in the Super Bowl, I remember...
YES! That's correct. Tim, you select.
I'll go with MLB please.
A grand slam is worth how many runs? Tim!
Tim: Well Mookie, first off, a home run is when the ball is hit by what is called a bat, not the animal, but a wooden bat, because there is no such thing as a wooden animal bat.......
Incorrect Tim. Bryant?
Bryant: 4?
Yes, that is correct. How did you know that?
Bryant: Well that's how tennis works right?
........you select Bryant.
Bryant: Let's go with the NBA.
Sure, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a game against the Toronto Raptors with which team? Bryant!

Nope, Bryant?
Bryant: Robert Smith?
Wrong, the answer is Emmitt Smith.
Tim: When I think of Emmitt, I think of Emmitt Till, part of a heinous crime........
And that means we are out of time, with the scores tied at 1, we'll have to decide this on a written response question. The person with the right answer wins?
Are you ready? A touchdown is worth how many points?
Okay, let's see those answers. Tim's response was "To score a touchdown, you have to have a pigskin, not an actual pigskin, the football, which is our version, not the soccer ball the Europeans use"
That is not even close. Bryant's response was "1"
Incorrect. Shannon's response "6"
THAT'S CORRECT!!! You are our big winner! Shannon, you've just won $35,000 for your local charity, what was it again?
