	When I saw "It's ____-check time", the first thing I thought of was "It's cup-check time". You always gotta wear a cup around your friends lol.

	After typing in the final answer, I started to hear a fat lady singing.

	Missing the word "the" in the level question. Also, frozen tundra is a cliche. Maybe. It's most just used by Chris Berman and people talking about Lambeau. But "The field is a frozen tundra" is not a sentence that has ever been said by anyone.

	My back was really against the wall there at the end, but I play best in the face of adversity. I couldn't have done it without my teammates though (and the man upstairs). Once momentum was on my side, I knew I had to go for the glory and things broke the right way for me.

	I knew going into this quiz that I was the underdog, but I just had to execute and take care of the ball.

	We're taking it one (step, minute, play, day, shot, down, possession, and the other 17 guesses that I made)at a time. It's amazing how your brain turns to mush when there is a ticking clock.

	"The Frozen Tundra" is not a cliche. It is a specific nickname with a specific history -- just like "the Stick," "the Horseshoe," "The Big House," "the House that Ruth Built," "Chavez Ravine," "the Brickyard," etc. No icy field other than Lambeau would ever be given such a description.

	Am I to believe from this quiz then that a good offense wins championships?

	I think the frozen tundra bit was used in an NFL films video, likely the "Ice Bowl" game against the cowboys in the 1960s. chris Berman picked up on it and would mock the announcer's deep pitched voice when saying "frozen tundra of Lambeau Field".

	Crash Davis would be proud.

	@buckeyebob...you're right that it's not a cliche (again, except to Chris Berman) but the frozen tundra isn't like those other nicknames. Those are all nicknames for stadiums. The Frozen Tundra has never been used as a nickname for the stadium (nobody says "I'm going to the Frozen Tundra to see Packers-Viking). The Frozen Tundra isn't really even a nickname at all. It's just a very oft-repeated line from a famous highlight film.

	We're taking it one _______ at a time. It could be "step"

	The proper saying is "the best offense is a good defense." I think it's mainly used in basketball and how turnovers create scoring opportunities.
