not a complaint, but sometimes an iconic first name or nickname gets the answer. I thought "Bo" would have done it - especially given the clue. I think qm is a bigger fan of basketball than of baseball or football and maybe more of those are added?

I tried "Bo" too, just because of what the clue is.

Yea, no way Bryant should be on the this list. As far as I know never was in the state of Alabama until he went to college there. Definitely better answers are out there.

Bear Bryant is a legend in Alabama though, and he is most associated with being one of the best coaches the Crimson Tide ever had.

Maybe a bit niche but Alabama makes me think of Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day; the guy does have 10M subscribers though so maybe counts as famous?

I was hoping to see a question about Tallulah Bankhead, but I supposed she's fairly obscure outside Huntsville, AL.

Really? Skinny actress from Friends? You couldn't think of any other description for Courtney Cox? No other clue contained physical descriptions, seems highly unnecessary to comment on her body. You could include any of her other acting roles instead, I'm sure people would know that something along the lines of "Friends and Scream actress" means Courtney Cox.

I agree. Why the need to insult her body. Skinny means 'unattractively thin'. I'd regard her slim, which was the case for other Friends actresses.

I would have preferred "Played Monica Geller on Friends" for this one. The description was just way too vague if you ask me.

I assumed it was a reference to her character on Friends who was a "fat kid" but became "skinny" as an adult.

I guessed Jamiroquai for the dancing on the ceiling question because of "Virtual Insanity", had no idea for that one.
