Husband and wife. Circle gets the square
VastaNeurotic,
Which of the following American cities have all five of a Major League Baseball team, a Major League Soccer team, a National Basketball League team, a National Football League team, and a National Hockey League team in their metropolitan area: Denver, Houston, or Phoenix?
Xalxe, it'll be you to agree or disagree.

Oooh a sports question.
So let's see, Phoenix has the Suns and maaaaaaaybe the Arizona Cardinals and Diamondbacks, but I don't know of any soccer or hockey team that would be there, especially in all that heat.
Denver has the Broncos, Nuggets and I think the Colorado Rockies. A hockey team might make sense but I don't think they have one for soccer.
Houston has the Texans, Astros and Rockets for sure. I'm also fairly confident they have a soccer team but not sure one Hockey. It's essentially a coin flip but I'm going to go with
Denver

Well, okay. So I'm presuming that the Colorado Rapids play in Denver, which is dangerous, but are there other cities in Colorado? There are not.
Denver: Broncos/Nuggets/Rockies/Rapids/??Hockey??
Phoenix does NOT have an MLS team to the best of my knowledge...unless it's newer than either Atlanta or Minnesota. But I'm electing to assume they do not.
Houston has Texans, Astros, Rockies and the Dynamo...so do they have a hockey team? Fuckin' hockey!
I wish you'd said Phoenix so I knew you were wrong. Okay. Let's name some hockey teams.
Spoiler:
Penguins
Islanders
Rangers
Hurricanes (Carolina?)
Sharks (LA?)
Capitals (fuck you)
Flyers? what's gritty's team called
Red Wings
um
Golden Knights
Maple Leaves
Oilers???
okay I'm out of hockey teams. also I've confused myself. Let's start at the beginning.
Denver has four teams for sure. If they have a hockey team, I have to agree.
Phoenix does not have sports teams, so they are not the answer.
Houston has four teams. If they have a hockey team, I have to agree.
So basically the question is which city is more likely to have a hockey team: Denver, where there are mountains, or Houston, where there is heat? It must be Denver, right?
And now that I'm thinking about it...isn't there some movement to finally get hockey into Texas for some stupid idiot reason?
I think it is more likely that Denver has a hockey team than Houston. Therefore...I will
agree
with Vash. I think. Yeah. Let's do it.

Spoiler: For the match, the city out of Denver, Houston, and Phoenix with all five of an MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL, and NHL team is...
Denver X gets the square and five on the board!
(
Edited to add:
There's no MLS team in Phoenix, nor is there an NHL team in Houston.)

racefan12,
what alcoholic cocktail calls for pouring two parts orange juice to one part vodka in a highball glass full of ice, stirring the ingredients together gently, and garnishing with an orange slice?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, no pressure...
...But you sure picked a topic that I know absolutely nothing about. And while it would be easy for me to not embarrass myself by trying to come up with some answer, the voices in my head are telling me that that doesn't make for very good TV. (Also it's apparently against the rules as well.)
So okay fine, I'll at least try to come up with something that sounds somewhat semi-plausible. Maybe.
A Bloody Mary.

I
think
that's the recipe for an Old-Fashioned, but I also
know
that it's definitely not a Bloody Mary, so I'll
disagree

The bad news is that it's not an Old Fashioned.
The good news it that's it's not a Bloody Mary either It's a screwdriver!
You've won the car, but remember: Don't drink and drive!
