Bump for 24 hours remaining! As stated in the edit above, I am now offering hints to those who need a little help getting over the goal line.

Is the final supposed to be better than bonus?
But you just need to solve 3 to enter the finals and you need to solve all 6 to enter the bonus?
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why it's a bonus. For the completionists :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Better? No, just different. The bonus is not another quiz; just straight giveaways. The final is an actual quiz.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok. You can do whatever you want of course.
Just saying that if I ever did something like this I'll probably reverse it.

Bumpers
That was fun. Got the last one after I saw you changed the first question.

My wife just threw away my Falcons toothbrush. Something about good oral hygiene and how you're supposed to replace it every three months. Told me to Google it. I needed a place to rant, it seems relevant here. Consider this a bump. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
All solved but the final (Q2, 6, 8 & 10 left), unfortunately I still have to sleep every now and then so I'll come back later

I have an entire week, yeah!! I'm not in a hurry :D

Did first 3 Quizes, plus the Bonus. Going to finish off the others sooner or later.
Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
All done.
For reference, I know nothing about football.
Getting better at Google all the time, I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel like I know nothing about Football, but maybe I know more than I think.
Perhaps now's a good time to learn. :)

Loved every minute of this, thank you. GO COWBOYS!

Bump for solving them all... Didn't enter any, but it was fun, especially those misquoted reels

Final puzzle at 50%. I will lurk the rest of the forum and continue later
Comment has been collapsed.
i have a question, perhaps anyone actually could answer it: why do they call it actually as football? they liked the name of the real football so they theft it long time ago? Players rarerly touch the ball with their feet anyway. why isnt it rugby or if they wanted to add a new name why not carriedeggball? dont take it offensive if you love that sport, iam really curious why do they call it as american football.
Comment has been collapsed.
Search in google "why american football is called football" ;) A wild box of text will appear
EDIT: I didn't know it either :S
EDIT: lol why do the box of text only appears in IE and not in firefox?
EDIT: Ok, I will copy it here
At a time when most sports were played on horseback, the term "football" was originally used to describe games that were played on foot (not a game in which you kick a ball with your foot). This includes soccer, rugby and American football.Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solving them all. Thanks for the NFL puzzles, cant recall seeing one in a long time.

You're welcome, I'm thinking about making this a monthly thing based on the amount of interest and feedback I've observed.

Final puzzle, question 3. I've tried every possible format with no luck. Are there multiple options and I have the wrong answer or is there only one way to type it and I just haven't hit it yet?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm stuck on 2, 3 and 4. Do I type a number, the words, the number and measurement, the words and measurement? Nothing I've tried works and I know the answer, argg!
Comment has been collapsed.
I added a hint with expected answer format, which should help. Also, it seems the most popular video of this play is NOT from the MNF broadcast and thus does not contain the answer; look for alternate videos or try a text search since the announcer's call is quite well known.

What about question two? I've tried numbers and letters, and my answer, on the surface, appears correct. No amount of googling that I've done has said otherwise. I mean, there's only so many points that could be scored, and none have worked.
Edit: Nevermind, I didn't play out the scenario that was the right answer. Got #2. 3 and 4, however....

Is the answer for question 3 of prelim 3 the name of the player or the cocktail?
Comment has been collapsed.
The cocktail; I just reworded the question to make that more clear.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is the only question missing to me... I'm gonna die ç.ç
EDIT: DONE!
Comment has been collapsed.
You have a full week to solve it, and it's meant to be harder than the preliminary quizzes. I encourage you to try again later if you're fed up right now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will try it later ç.ç
It's a really nice event ^-^
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty sure I know the player, but can't find anything on the cocktail... last unanswered question for me
Comment has been collapsed.
Prelim #6, Question 3. It seemed clear (there's only one instance of RG3) but it's not working. Thoughts?
Edit: Aha-- one of us mis-heard what he said. With headphones on it seems clear to me that one of the words is different from what you have.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your word makes more sense, BTW...but it still sounds like they dubbed in a different word, FWIW.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for any confusion; I tried to pick words that sounded clear but that's subjective. The accepted answer does match the Closed Captioning info that is embedded in the video.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh interesting! I didn't check the CC. Well, even if the CC could be wrong, it certainly still makes sense to go with your word. I just hear a different word (as I wrote in the GA comments). :-D

I am a huge fan of the National Football League (NFL). Since this is the slow part of the offseason, I decided to create some easy quizzes to share my NFL knowledge and to test yours.
Even if English is not your first language and/or you know nothing about the NFL, you should be able to Google all of the answers except for perhaps a few of the Bad Lip Reading questions. The Final quiz with the best prizes can still be reached after completing only half of the quizzes, so you could skip the Bad Lip Reading quizzes and only miss out on the Bonus giveaways.

How to Reach the Final Quiz
After completing 3 (or more) preliminary quizzes, browse to http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/split.php?t=3. Enter the Completion Codes that you have, click the Combine! button, and you will get an 8-character puzzle ID. Finally, add the puzzle ID to the end of the string "www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/" to get the URL of the Final quiz. Using the example shown below, a person who had solved quizzes #1,4,6 and received the puzzle ID of "PuzzleID" would browse to http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/PuzzleID
