TEN!, Finals Week, Monday

#1 Post by Pastor Fireball » Mon Jul 17, 2017 1:01 pm

Unlike the finals week from your college days, this won't be a review of past material. It's all new questions. We'll start the last week of this series with some famous last words... or even famous first words and middle words, in some cases.

A. Mario Lopez
B. Bob Goen
C. Billy Bush
D. Kevin Frazier

And yet, it was Bush who got fired from his job.

2. "You're either in or you're out. There is no such thing as life in-between." Which sports coach said that?
A. Joe Torre
B. Scotty Bowman
C. Tom Landry
D. Pat Riley

Although Ben delivered this line in a eulogy to a girl's pet squirrel, it was actually Garrick who first wrote this phrase three years earlier.

7. In which film does Clint Eastwood give the classic line, "Go ahead, make my day"?
A. "The Dead Pool"
B. "The Enforcer"
C. "Sudden Impact"
