    I can easily come up with something for tonight, but will need @jpatag66 to check in and confirm.

    Pretty sure @johnyb has all our numbers from the majors BIF, maybe John can shoot him a text.

    Looks like we all got Grudened yesterday. I'm down for the MNF tie breaker.

    Ok, here's the game for tonight. @Bum4ever @johnyb @jpatag66 @Mateo2699 - make sure you PM me your answers before kickoff.

    Everyone gets at least 2 boxes, and I'll start working on targets based on geography once we get the last bit cleared up;

    To determine which 3 of you 4 "winners" receive a third box, I will provide 3 questions surrounding this week's MNF game (Vikings @ Seahawks). All 4 participants must PM me their answers before kickoff tonight.
    • Correct answer (or closest answer) will get a 3rd box, and that person's answers will be removed from all subsequent questions.
      • i.e. - No one can win more than 1 extra box in this way.
    • I will review questions and award boxes in sequential order as listed below.
    • NO "Price is Right" rules - meaning if the answer is 4, guesses of 3 and 5 will be considered a tie.
    • Ties will be broken by a tiebreaker question.
    No changing answers once submitted.

    Send me a PM with your guesses for the following;
    • How many total sacks will there be during the game?
    • How many total accepted penalties will there be during the game?
    In honor of me going against Adam Thielen in TWO fantasy league playoffs, with a big game by him guaranteeing that I get eliminated in BOTH leagues...
    • How many fantasy points will Adam Thielen have in the game, based on the following scoring system?
      • 0.15 per rushing attempt
      • 1 per reception
      • 1 per 10 yards rushing
      • 1 per 10 yards receiving
      • 1 per 25 yards passing
      • 6 per rushing or receiving touchdown (4 per passing TD)
      • 2 per 2-point conversion
      • -2 per Fumble Lost
      • Fractional points (i.e. 9 yards receiving = 0.9 fantasy points)
      • 3 bonus points @ 100 yards receiving
      • 3 bonus points @ 100 yards rushing
    TIEBREAKER - What will be the official attendance of the game?

    All data will be pulled from NFL.com

    Results are in! Here's the tiebreakers...
    1. How many total Sacks will there be during the game?
      • 4 - Three of you guessed 5. @johnyb wins the tiebreaker (69,000 attendance; Correct answer 69,007)
    2. How many total accepted penalties will there be during the game?
    3. How many fantasy points will Adam Thielen have in the game?
      • 12.95 - Low enough that I didn't lose either playoff game! @Bum4ever was closest with a guess of 18.9
    The winners listed above will receive 3 boxes, and @jpatag66 will receive 2.

    Targets will go out later today, and we'll set a shipping deadline of Monday, January 21st (5+ weeks), obviously pending weather.

    @Thirsty_Moe has gone above and beyond with this winning box from round 1. I had requested a delayed shipment due to being out of the house during renovations, and boy was it worth the wait!

    :eggplant:

    That BA Zhukov didn’t last the day, and the other two won’t be far behind. Thanks so much, Mauricio!

    @SammyJaxxxx dropped this awesome assortment of canned goodness on me. All new to me and I love the variety. The NYG socks are a hit in my house. My 13 year old, OBJ fan, son snagged those and disappeared seconds after the picture was taken.[​IMG]

    Received my first box for placing in round 2. This one from @Scalawags, first up the swag:

    This is pretty cool, I used to collect them when I was a kid. Not sure what ever happened to those ones, but it's nice to get the whole set. My wife was pretty jazzed too and claimed the Charger's one.

    Now the beer:

    Some awesome Michigan goodness here. I love the sunset, M-43 and KBS. The BA expo and traxxx are both wants. Excited to crack into all of these, thanks @Scalawags

    Huge note of thanks to @Franfab for this crazy great box! Being a FL guy from Chicago I really miss the cold winters (not really) and wearing a knit hat. It was in the 40s here today so I got to give this bad boy a test drive and loved it. Definitely going to look for any excuse when the temp drops just a bit to break it out.

    On to the awesome beers, very excited for each of these. Some old classic faves/permawants in the New Glarus/Ten Fidy and Pipeworks is one of my absolute favorite brewers. The other three are all new ticks to me and I’m really looking forward to sharing those with some buddies tomorrow. I read up a bit on the Strawberry Banana Marbles and the Double Blazed Orange, can’t wait to test drive those.

    Over the top generous Frank, truly appreciated!!!
