Big Man Out

I knew it was gonna happen. All the things going on around here and I forgot a day!!!So, this is what I am gonna do about it.

This is going to be the last post I do on the football challenage. The winner will be told on the first of the month.

here we go...

Day 25

Before it was known as the NFL, what was it called in the begining??

Day26

The Pac havent had a top pick in the draft(entering 2007) since 1959, what player did they choose number one over all that year??

Day 27

Who has the most Championships and how many??

Day28

How many NFL teams are there??

Day 29

Day 30

Who holds the most records at the Bears field??

And last but not least.

Day 31

This Commish is the only one who replaced someone in death, who is he???

Big Man Out

This is so true

Big Man Out

I hope Ya'll are able to read this , if not let me know and I will print it out

Big Man Out

Well lemme tell ya, life is a bit hectic around here at the moment, between family issues and Jades cat (he ate rat poison), its nuts around here!!

So this here is what i am gonna do...

3 days in one.

are ya ready...

Day 22

What does NFLPA stand for???

Day 23

What is the CBA???

Day 24

Internet radio can play the NFL games, but what 2 Broadcasts are they not allowed too???

Sorry for the mess, but at least this way I can tend to the cat and Jade. And I also dont make ya all miss any days of this

Big Man Out

OK, I feel a bit lazy today, so this is gonna be quick and easy.

Day 21

(only 10 days left)

The Packers found this future Pro Football Hall of Fame offensive lineman in the seventh round of the 1953 draft...

who was he???

Big Man Out

There was 11 teams when the NFL was founded, only 11. Aint that something. And to think, most of us can only pick one, maybe two teams to like.

For day 20, what year did the NFL start up in???

In the NFL, players wear uniform numbers based on the position they play.

The current system was instituted into the league on April 5, 1973, as a means for fans and officials (referees, linesmen) to more easily identify players on the field by their position. Players who were already in the league at that date were grandfathered, and did not have to change their uniform numbers if they did not conform.

Since that date, players are invariably assigned numbers within the following ranges, based on their primary position:

Quarterbacks, placekickers and punters: 0–0
Wide Receivers: 0-0, or 0-0 if all are taken
Running backs and defensive backs: 0–0
Offensive linemen: 0–0
Linebackers: 0–0 and 0–0, or 0-0 if all are taken
Defensive linemen: 0–0 and 0–0
Tight ends: 0–0, or 0–0 if all are taken

I know what ya all are thinking, ya'll is thinking, "Big Man, ya is nuts if ya think we know all that", but if ya can give me the answer to half of them , I'll give ya a full score, if ya get them all, I'll give ya 2 scores....

All ya gotta do is fill in the 0's

Big Man Out

After trying to get the cheerleaders off the field, we had one who just seemed to be tripping her self on those white lines that mark the field in 1 yard intervals...

We have no clue on how she was doing this, even after watching the replay about 15 times.

So, for day 18, what do ya call those 1 yard white lines???

Big Man Out

DAY 17

And it seems the cheerleaders dont wanna leave the field yet...

Looks like we have a "Raiderett" that is trying to steal the show a bit here. She had a stint on the MTV show "the real world" (Season 18) and wants to try to get more of the lime light...

Just who is she???

Big Man Out

Wow...

Day 16, so I guess you could call today the halftime.

And just what do ya see during the halftime show...

Cheerleaders silly!

Not all the NFL teams have them, and a few did but got rid of em. So today is a 2 part question that needs 2 answers to score...

Who was the first team to introduce the concept of cheerleaders to NFL football, and in what year did this happen.

Big Man Out

I am gonna try to take a new twist on this. Since we are at the half way point, I am gonna change it up a bit for today.

I just cant believe that we are on day 15 already.But It seems the answer have stopped at day11. So that means if you go back and do 11,12,13,14, and today the 15th day, one could steal the lead or, the leader could have a 9 score lead....

OK, see that guy there. He done did is kinda mean looking! I want ya to tell me who he is, and what team did he play for? To give Ya'll a few hints, he was in the WCW and the WWE.

Big Man Out

Take a good look at this here Pic I found. YA'll tell me this, are they twins that were seperated at birth...

I know, I know... That was mean...

But funny as hell!!!

Big Man Out

Any more, no matter what you seem to watch, Ya'll will see a romance in the making or in the ending.

In the good ol' spot of football, its no diffferent.

In a mag coming out soon, or it might already be, Carrie Underwood was talking football and this is what she had to say...

We were both small town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame. I don't know. The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

Just who is she talking about???

Big Man Out

Here is some words of thought for Ya'll. Ya never know, it may come in handy some day. And if ya really think about them.... they sure are true!!!

1. A day without sunshine is like night.

2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.

14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?

15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong
lane.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now .

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?

21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'

22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

23. Light travels faster than sound.. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates . . . it's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.

As alot of Ya'll know, I had a bit of bad luck going on with anything that had a motor in it a bit ago. Now with the new truck and all, I feel pretty good.

Ya know the same can be said about football too...

After a $185 million renovation of a historic stadium, this team returned for the 2006 season. The team played its 2006 home opener in front of a sold-out crowd and national television audience...

Who was it??

the game was on September 25

Big Man Out

I would like to start today off with saying

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY"

I hope your day is good and all goes well for ya babe!!!

Now on to day 12.

Staying with the nickname part of it all. Some are good and some are strange. One team out there has had one that sounds kinda sick if ya ask me, its "Gang Green".

Can ya tell me what NFL team it is???

This is the pics of the new addition to the family...

What ya think???

Big Man Out

Bernie Mac Passes on...

What a great loss for comedy today.

And Isaac Hayes...

Another great loss for the music world

In the world of sports, its just like human life, some times a person gets a lable for some thing they do or say, or a way they may act. A nickname can hang on for years if not for life, I should know that all to well. As some of you may know, I am known as "Tank". And the funny thing is, is that was a name giving to me during football tryouts in the 6th grade. I done did hit the coach and other players so hard , they would say it was like being ran over by a "Tank". And many years later, the name still sticks on. The funny fact about that is most people never know my real name. I guess thats not really a bad thing though....

The New York Giants are the same way, but unlike me, they have more than One (1) nickname. The thing I want to know is ...

What are the nicknames of the Champs... Ya'll only have to list 3 of the 5

Big Man Out

welp, Its been a busy weekend for me so far and as ya'll can see, I fell a day behind. But what I am gonna do is have day 9 and 10 right now.

This is the question for day 9...

In 1998, the Packers moved up 10 spots in the 1st round by trading with ...

who?

And now this is for day 10...

In the same year, what defensive lineman did they choose with the 19th overall pick??

Good luck

Big Man Out

Oh , its finally friday!!!

I do have some great news to report from the home front, after all the problems we have had up here on this here mountain with anything that has a motor...

I got a new truck!!!

And Lemme tell ya, she sure is pretty. Its a steel blue color, 4x4, quad-cab Chevy...

And its MINE ALL MINE

(thanks again Amy)

(LOVE YA LONG TIME)

And since I am in such a good mood today, I am going to make day 8 kinda easy. Staying with the field subject, I want to know...

Just how big are those goal posts at the ends of the field. Ya'll should have 3 sets of numbers for this one. The width, total higth, and from the ground. That should be a big help to some

I'm off to add miles to the new girl

Big Man Out

It's Official: Favre Traded to Jets

I say they just made a huge ass and dumb mistake...

And to tell ya the truth I would like to see the Jets this year take it all, or at least do better than the Pac (and I'm even a Pac Fan)

Ok, enough about that, all its gonna do is piss me off more, lets get on with day 7. And by the way no one even tried day 6 so the game is at a stand still, but with a leader.

Ok, today I want to know about the field, we all know its 100 yards long, but just how wide is it. and to get a TD on this one, the answer has to be right on the dot....

Big Man out

Can ya'll believe this mess going on with Farve? I think the Pac is going to end up making a huge mistake in the end of this all. I done did think its nuts!!!

But any ways, lets get back to the ball game. And what a ball game its turning out to be. Like I said last night we have a leader now, but there is someone who lurks in the back, not to far behind in point that could come back within a 2 day score.

With that said, lets move into day 6 and see if I can finally stump the leader(who is doing Great).

Today I am looking for a team who has come in second in most valuable franchise in the NFL. And also, they have broken the NFL's mark for single-season attendance six years in a row.

Who do ya'll think it is???

And just as a reminder, anyone can jump into the game at any point, but to have your score add up and count you must answer all from day one to the day you started.

And send your answers in to me at

EXTRA EXTRA

READ ALL ABOUT IT...

We Now have a leader in the game! With 5 complted TD's!!!

Can any one come back in days to come with an upset???

Stay tuned for futher highlights

Big Man Out

I done do believe we have a tie in the works going on here. As I looked last night, I had one teamer who had went back and got all 4, plus the teaser question.And by the way, I loved how it was answered, and ya was damn right about it!!!!

OK, I don't know what most of you think about the Packers (the best damn team EVER), and whats going on with Brett Farve (the best damn QB), but I'm getting a bit pissed about how the media is playing him off. Yes I know he might be getting up there in age for football, but i don't see any other QB's doing what he can!!!

So with staying with the best team EVER( Yes it is)(quit rolling your eyes)(I seen that), I am gonna go back a few years, 1944 in fact.

7 different Packer players rushed for more than 100 yards, but Ted Fritsch led that "Championship" squad (he was the fullback) with how many yards that year?

Thanx for playing y'all

Big Man Out

Ok , this is the score so far, I have one person who has the answers right for day 1 and 2, no one has tried 3 yet.

So now we are on day 4. I thought this time I would go back into the 70's. OH those was the years. Free love, Peace, Rock-n-Roll, long hair, and lets not forget the "Steel Curtain"...

I know the curtain was up a couple good years, but I am looking for the 4 most famed players. So if Ya'll are up to it... lemme know who ya think they was.

And by the way, did Ya'll hear the semi-good news?

Is the Pac back???

Is Farve gonna play???

Is he gonna be the starting QB???

Cant tell I'ma Packers fan can ya...HA HA

Big Man Out

Whats up Ya'll? Its looking like we are gonna have a game now, a few people got there answers in, a couple of em' was right and a couple of em' was so close it hurt. But hey , if ya get it wrong, thats ok, Ya'll can keep on trying!

Keep one thing in mind, send your answers to me at...

widowmakertank@yahoo.com

Now, here Ya'll go for day 3...

We done did talked about a player, and then the ball, now lets talk about the field a bit.

I wanna know, just how many lines are on the field that divide the field up in 5 yard segments???

Good luck to Ya'll

Big Man Out

OK, It looks to me that I might of started this off on a hard note. So what I am gonna do is go back to when football was a real hard hitting sport.

YA'll know what it looked like back in the day, hardly no pads, the helmets looked like just hunks of leather on top of their heads. And the men didn't look like they was all on some muscle juice.

The fields looked to be all rough and rocky, the players looked as if they was about to pass out from the game...

What I want to know is...

what was the first "footballs" made out of???

Big Man Out

I can see that a few of ya'll looked, but no one had the balls to take a wild guess? What happened, did I make it too hard??

Ok I'll give ya the year...

it was 1992

now what team did he come from???

Big Man Out

Welp, here we are, August 1st!

YA know what that means dont ya. Lets see how much ya'll know about the NFL, Past, present, and all in-between.

On your mark...

Get set...

GO!!!

From what team and what year did the Green bay Packers obtain quarterback Brett Favre for a first-round draft choice???

E-mail ya'lls answers to me at...

Good luck to all
