Reader Challenge #2!

So my second Second and One Reader Challenge [where I ask people ridiculous football-related questions (via IM, Facebook, or good old-fashioned pen-and-paper reporting) and then post their answers in the blog] has concluded.

In light of the naked OSU lineman incident, I asked the following question:

"If you see a naked football player in your house, what do you say to him?"

Here are the results!

"Time out!" - Dave S.

"How would you know he was a football player if he was naked?" - Rico M.

"Where are your clothes, why are you carrying that football, and how the hell did you get in here?" - Hope O.

"I would turn around and walk away." - Brad S.

"I'd dial the looney bin presuming he was suffering concussion related dementia." - Judy R.

"If you can manage to be fairly quiet, there's a bit of beer on tap near the fireplace, taps are labeled. And sheets for the futon in the end table under the lamp. And for god's sake lift the seat of the toilet or better yet SIT DOWN, can't imagine why men think they have the right to splatter urine everywhere when they pee." - Linda S. 

"Somehow I thought you'd be better-endowed." - Nikki F.

"Put some clothes on...!" - Jess H.


Thanks everyone who participated! Happy Fantasy Draft Week, everyone!

Reader Challenge #1!

Last week I polled a group of people (via Facebook and such). I asked the following question:

"In your opinion, which touchdown celebration would cause the biggest possible fine, and who would you like to see perform it?"

And the results are in!

"I enjoy the flips into the end zone at the end of the run or after it. I lols when big guys in pads can show that sort of athleticism." - Angela W.

"Off the top of my head I think a dance routine a la tango would be amusing. You know which two I have in mind here...the clowns." -Eric J. [presumably he means Owens and Ochocinco]

"Something with pyrotechnics (on the field)." - Jeff R.

"Hmm, I need to think about #3 but I know I'd want Chad Ochocinco to perform it. Yeah I'm going to need some time for this one but it would probably involve him mocking the Stoolers." -Judy R.

"I didn't know there were different types of touch down dances...I think the best performers are always the bigger guys...there is more joy when they score!" - Jessica H.

"Bye bye bye" (n*sync) dance performed by Tony Siragusa." - Marc R.

Thanks to everyone who participated! In honor of end zone hi-jinx, here's ESPN's list of the best NFL touchdown celebrations (Youtube, ESPN).
