Wow, sorry about the low turnout. I guess the questions were too scary to guess. ;)
The results:
1) At 7:00 PM EST, I ran a google search of a very frequent FOFC term, "dola". How many hits did the google search return?
Wanted to throw in some sort of FOFC reference so I ran the google search of "dola". I was shocked at the number of hits. 197,000 hits for the search were found.

2) Since they began in 1933, how many HOME regular season victories do the Philadelphia Eagles have?
I had to have an Eagles question, right? :D I figured this would be something that an educated guess could be made at and it seemed to fall ni line that way. They have 259 home victories.

3) What was the total net yards rushing by all teams in the NFL playoffs for the 2003 season (this past season)?
I figured that with the football knowledge on this forum, this would be a close question. I think a couple misread the question and were aiming at season totals (or they were watching a SkyDog coached game). There were 2,659 net rushing yards in the NFL playoffs.

4) How many total goals were scored in the 2004 National Lacrosse League playoffs (6 playoff teams with two division winners getting byes in the first round).
I knew this would most likely be a total guess for most so I at least tried to provide the playoff format to give everyone an idea of the number of games. There were 129 goals scored in the playoffs.

5) How many total goals were scored in the 2003 Major League Soccer playoffs?
This would have been a total guess for me. I figured that the soccer contingent may end up close with this one. There were 33 goals scored.

6) How many total overtime goals were scored in the 2003/04 NHL playoffs?
A guess for most, unless someone knew the number of overtime games in the playoffs. There were 19 overtime goals scored.

Nice job by all. Hopefully SirFozzie can kickstart guesstimates again as I think I made it stall.
