NFL Swampcrash 2023 (Team Selection Show is Live)
It's August my dudes so I guess it's time to start thinking about this. For the first time since 2020, we're back in business. This isn't yet a sign-up thread, but that's coming. Instead...TAKE A SURVEY!
https://forms.gle/nALAdxHNBinD3SR29
If it helps you decide whether or not to play (and you should play - I'm guessing we'll need everyone we can get), you WON'T be asked to submit your own questions this year. That was more trouble for me than it was worth.

That's the happiest I have been in taking a survey, ever.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023
I think the current scoring system is sticking around but "if you're the only one with a 1-pointer, you actually lose a point" is awesome.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023
Wait, so like if you have 35 going into question 6, you're the only dude who has a 1-pointer, and then your score going into question 7 is now 34? That's a cool idea. Much love to whoever proposed that.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023
Yeah, "losing a point" is good which is a thing I had to remember when I read that.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023
I agree, I misread it too. I thought you were proposing getting a 1 pointer would hurt you. Extra bonus for a 1 is cool.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023
OK now that I know we haven't easily crossed 32, I'm going to make signups official. If you are NOT on this list and want to play, post in this thread. We need 6. (EDIT: 2)

Other items:
The "how do we pick teams" questions was basically a 4-way tie so I'm going to keep it completely random. I'll post something on that once we have all 32 players.
Haven't made a formal decision yet on the "minus-1 if you're the only one-pointer" scoring change yet. I was hoping to think of some stuff that would level the playing field a little bit and this probably isn't it, but it's a great idea and could lead to more drama so I'm leaning on voting yes. No other changes are on the table.
There was some interest in incorporating Zoom participation similar to 3 years ago. We'll see.
Friday reveals were the overwhelming winner so that stays the same.
I think I'll still post questions here and through email so if you think I don't have the email you'd like me to use, pm it to me or send me something - ryantfriedman shift-2 gmail period com
I mentioned it before, but NO player-submitted questions this year. I've got everything I need. As new questions get harder and harder to find, expect at least 1 photo question and 1 "name something from this list" question each week.

Straight from the back stacks of the Library of Congress, here's what I could salvage for all-time NFL Swampcrash records! If you find an error let me know (like alt names I forgot to combine, not "I think I actually won 63 games, not 62")

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 (2 spots remaining)
Asked it a round from March Madness Crash:
It answered:
The Brown Bomber - Joe Louis
Hurricane Michael (2018)
Babe Ruth (1927)
Montreal Canadiens
Have it your way - Burger King
Kyrie Irving
Russia
MAS*H
University of Notre Dame
The Four Fundamental Forces: Gravity
OT. Katy Perry
OT2. Christianity
1. Name the professional athlete that was saddled with one of these racially or otherwise insensitive nicknames. (I will use discretion on shared nicknames - so don't give a minor player who was also called the Brown Bomber by the Boise Gazette once)
The Brown Bomber
White Chocolate
Chocolate Thunder
The Nigerian Nightmare
The Hebrew Hammer
Coco (not Coco Crisp)
The Pillsbury Throwboy
Night Train
Chief
Ghost (10)
2. Since hurricanes began receiving names in 1953, name one that has made any landfall AT CATEGORY 5 INTENSITY - ie if Hurricane Madisyn reaches category 5 strength but only makes a landfall at Category 3 strength, it is not a correct answer. Western Hemisphere only, ie no typhoons. (14)
3. Name a player who has hit 57 or more home runs in a single MLB season. (12)
4. Nine NHL franchises have won 4 or more Stanley Cups. Name one. (9)
5. Name a company/brand/whatever that uses one of the following advertising slogans:
Have it your way
What's in your wallet?
Fly the friendly skies
Can you hear me now?
All the news that's fit to print
The ultimate driving machine
Obey your thirst
Let's go places
Easy, breezy, beautiful
(It) gives you wings (10)
6. Name a player taken as the first overall pick in any NBA draft between (and including) 2010 and 2020. (11)
7. EXCLUDING Antarctica, temperatures of -60 degrees Fahrenheit or lower have been "officially" recorded in 13 countries (including territories). Name one of these countries. (13)
8. Name one of the top 12 most-watched (live at the time of airing) American television series finales. (12)
9. 13 colleges/universities have produced 6 or more NFL Hall of Famers. Name one. (Any time as a member of the university's football team counts, ie if JJ Watt were to make it he would count for Wisconsin and Central Michigan) (neither of those are correct answers btw) (13)
10. Name one of:
The Four Fundamental Forces (Physics)
The Four DNA chemical building blocks
The Fantastic Four (superhero names) (12)
OT. As of 4 April 2023, name one of the people with the top 10 most followed Twitter accounts (all specific people, ie not @POTUS or @Snickers) (10)
OT2. Name one of the four most followed religions worldwide or one of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore. (8)

I love the idea if only to see what team it ends up representing. It'll actually get at least one wrong pretty much every week unless it can read mp4 slideshows. Will use it if we can't get there.
