if I build the monday movie quiz, they will come

Breaking news......last night there was an American football game played in a secret location.

You probably didn't hear about it as there was no hype or fuss.

I was, well cheering is not quite the right word as I didn't watch much of the game, but I did want the Chicago Bears to win, and well, not so much. So moving swiftly along, the theme for this weeks Monday Movie Quiz was inspired by sport. I know, honestly, pretty much nothing about sport, but I do know that Chess is not a sport and IMHO neither is cheerleading, so no questions about either of those, some other questions have been included which you may not consider sports, that's fine, you don't have to consider them real sports, it's not like anyone cares.


Anyway
