Wile E - 2 (Foos, WDIK)
Elmer Fudd - 2 (scoobus, dino)

Murph -     25
Spoofy -     21
IB -     21
Galileo -     19
NotSmart -     19
EYLive -     19
Yankee23Fan -     19
furley -     19
ThaPenguin -     19
cjw_55106 -     12

Krista -     12
Foos -     8
scoobus -     8
Getzlaf -     6
dino259 -     4
Ignoramus -     3
WhatDoIKnow -     2
GOB -     0
 

 
3. Second pick in the draft if your fantasy footbally league were drafting today.
    
GOB -     Sterling Shepherd
IB -     Todd Gurley has to be #1.  Has to.  While Adam Thielen and a few other WRs are really tearing it up, this comes down to Patrick Mahomes vs the guy I"m going with...Alvin Kamara.
Getzlaf -     Barkley
Galileo -     Conner
NotSmart -     Patrick Mahomes
Spoofy -     Barkley
EYLive -     Mahomes
Yankee23Fan -     Probably Saquon Barkley
furley -     antonio brown
ProstheticRGK -     My holmes, Maholmes. mahomes. Ringo
sho nuff -     Barkley
Murph -     Barkley
ThaPenguin -     Barkley
Heckmanm -     Saquon Barkley
popeye -     James Conner
fatguy -     Kareem Hunt
Long Ball Larry -     Saquon
Cav -     Barkley
El Floppo -     Barkley
Lambskin -     Saquan Barkley
dino259 -     Adam Thielen
Ignoramus -     Gates
scoobus -     Kamara
AAABatteries -     Mahomes
Krista -     Trick question – I no longer have a fantasy football league.  And if I did, this time I’d be sure to fill it up with people who take kickers with the second pick.  Who’s a good kicker?  Fine, Alvin Kamara.
cjw_55106 -     Melvin Gordon
bryhamm -     Mahomes (behind Gurley)
Foos -     Kamara
WhatDoIKnow -     Patrick Mahomes
lardonastick -     Kamara
 

 
Mod Answer: This has to be Mahomes, Thielen, or Barkley, and then it just boils down to your draft philosophy. I don't know how you pass on Thielen's consistency. Thielen. (Gurley)

Point to dino

 
Barkley - 11 (Getzlaf, Spoofy, sho nuff, murph, Penguin, Cav, Floppo, Y23F, Lambskin, Long Ball, Heckman)
Mahomes - 6 (EYLive, AAA, bry, NotSmart, RGK, WDIK)
Kamara - 5 (scoobus, Foos, lardonastick, IB, krista)
Conner - 2 (Galileo, popeye)
Thielen - 1 (dino)

No Points - Antonio Brown, Kareem Hunt, Sterling Shepherd, Gates, Melvin Gordon

 
BUT:

ThaPenguin, Y23F, and Floppo wasted their second chances on answers where they gave the high score.

No buts.  Scores remain the same.

 
And yes, commentary is where it's at imo.  Very much enjoy k4 and IB's answers.  Also liked bry's inclusion of his #1s, even if they're mostly #2.

 
4. Number of seconds it would take the average Footballguy to run a marathon 
    
dino259 -     Going straight math 10x26x60 = 15600  Not going to hire anyone to carry me.
furley -     22,000
Getzlaf -     25,000
Spoofy -     20,000
sho nuff -     20,000 seconds (over 5 and half hours...) 
Murph -     20,000
ThaPenguin -     15,000
Cav -     15000
El Floppo -     16200
Galileo -     10,800 seconds
Ignoramus -     I can't find the "infinity" symbol on my keyboard
popeye -     17500
scoobus -     14000
Foos -     28800
lardonastick -     16,000
fatguy -     25,000 seconds
EYLive -     1,000,000
AAABatteries -     18000
bryhamm -     18,800 (12min pace)
cjw_55106 -     I'll say seven hours (doubtful many could even finish) so, about 25,000 seconds? 
ProstheticRGK -     Mu
NotSmart -     19,800
WhatDoIKnow -     172,800 (2 days)
Yankee23Fan -     That's the 23 mile thing, right? Excellent runners take about 2 or 3 hours? I'm gonna say the average FBG doesn't finish at all.
Lambskin -     23,580
Long Ball Larry -     86,400
Heckmanm -     21,600
GOB -     Two shakes of a lamb's tail
IB -     Lesseee...a good marathon runner can finish in 3-4 hours.  An average footballguy would need twice that, I'd say.  8 hours and change.  30,000 seconds?
Krista -     I know a goal for a lot of marathoners is a four-hour time.  FBGs are not like a lot of marathoners.  I’ll generously say a FBG would do it in six hours, but mostly because they shut down the courses after six hours?  Anyway, 21,600 seconds.

Wait, ####.  That is the real answer, not what I think other people will say.  Let's go with 1,000,000 seconds.

Wait, I thought I did 28800, did I really fat finger 58800?  The latter is probably more accurate, but still

 
I wanted to add commentary, but was afeared of the arbitrary/final nature of how they're usually met.

fwiw- I tried to math up 4 1/2 hours for the marathon. no idea if I was right... but that seems like a time most could hit once they committed to actually running the thing (which implies they trained for it). 

and lol- yankee should win this round.

 
BUT:

Heckman used his second chance to change Daffy Duck to James Conner.  Seriously. But I'll apply common sense here and move that to Question 3

Ignoramus changed Foghorn Leghorn to Marvin the Martian.  He gets the mod point.

scoobus used his second chance and went from 0 points to 2 points for Elmer Fudd (matching dino)

bry was the big winner on the second chance upgrading from 0 points to the top answer.
:bag:

 
Mod answer 15,720 - 10 minute miles, essentially.  I did expect the average FBG would train first.  Extra point to dino, lardon, floppo.

:hifive:  I was rushing to get my answers in. Glad we can be dumb together.

 
15,600/16,000/16,200 - 4 (dino, lardonastick, Floppo)

17,500/18,000 - 2 (popeye, AAA)
21,600/22,000 - 2 (hackmanm, furley)
1,000,000 - 2 (EYLive, krista)
 

No points - 14,000; 23,580; 28,800; 86,400; 10,800; 172,800; 18,800; Infinity; 30,000; Mu (I don't think cows run marathons); Two shakes; DNF

 
Revised scoring:

15,600/16,000/16,200 - 4 (dino, lardonastick, Floppo)
19,800/20,000 - 4 (NotSmart, Spoofy, murph, sho nuff)

After 4 questions, Floppo eases into the lead.  It's a shame second place actually wins this particular version of this.

El Floppo -     46
Heckmanm -     44
Cav -     44
Long Ball Larry -     42

5. Second best song by Queen.
    
scoobus -     Bohemian Rhapsody
ThaPenguin -     We Will Rock You
Cav -     We will rock you
lardonastick -     Don't Stop Me Now
El Floppo -     We Will Rock You/We are the champions
popeye -     Somebody to Love
AAABatteries -     Killer Queen
NotSmart -     We Will Rock You
Spoofy -     We are the Champions
Murph -     Fat Bottomed Girls
Heckmanm -     Killer Queen
furley -     Fat Bottomed Girls
Lambskin -     Fat Bottomed Girls
Getzlaf -     Bohemian Rhapsody
Foos -     Another One Bites the Dust
Long Ball Larry -     We are the Champions
EYLive -     We are the Champions
Galileo -     Bohemian Rhapsody
WhatDoIKnow -     Crazy Little Thing Called Love
bryhamm -     We Will Rock You (behind Bohemian)
sho nuff -     Another One Bites the Dust
fatguy -     We Will Rock You
dino259 -     Bicycle
Ignoramus -     Fat Bottomed Girls
Krista -     This question just reminded me how many Queen songs I despise.  Going with the first rule of FFA:  when in doubt, go with the Christo answer.  Fat Bottomed Girls
cjw_55106 -     Fat Bottomed Girls
IB -     Well now...there's the right answer and the sheep answer here.  Assuming everyone agrees that Bohemian Rhapsody is the number one Queen song, will people say We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions as the second best?  That would be the sheep answer.   The funny "Fat Bottomed Girls" answer perhaps?  My answer to this would be Don't Stop Me Now, but I'll go with the Vanilla Ice samples "Under Pressure"
ProstheticRGK -     Under Pressure
Yankee23Fan -     Another One Bites the Dust
GOB -     Radio Bah Bah
 

 
Mod Answer: Probably not truly their second best, but I do enjoy Fat Bottomed Girls (Bohemian Rhapsody).  Point to a bunch of people.
