Actually, the game hint for 2006 was as follows:

____Five bots tangling with pasta
A game piece obsessed with a shovel's show
__And seeing Montana's green heights

The breakdown:
5 bots: during 2 periods of the game, only 5 robots could be on a side of the field. 2 were playing defense, hence the tangling. Pasta referred to the pool noodles used in bumpers.
Shovel's show: Just Shoot Me
Montana's green heights: High target, marked with a green light that could be seen. For bonus points, Joe Montana was an NFL quarterback, who threw footballs during 4 game periods every time he played.

Dave also referenced a "fox in the henhouse" (game objects tended to scatter when a robot came through, and the robots ate the balls before shooting them) and "hovercraft and the English Channel" (nice wide space in the middle of the field that had to be crossed to score) prior to the 2006 Kickoff.
