Back by popular demand is everyone's favorite feature: Tuesday Morning Bills Trivia! With a shiny new name and everything! I'm fairly certain that most of you know how this works by now but for those of you that are new around here I will give a quick refresher. I put up four clues about four mystery players - cleverly called Mystery Players 1-4 - and you try to guess who they are. I post them in order of what I think is easiest to hardest, sometimes throwing in a curveball or two, and sometimes even extra credit.
There is no points system and there really is no "winner"; hopefully I make these difficult enough that some of you guys out there (freddy jj) don't get them all 7 minutes after I post this (Brian). Let the games begin!
