Congratulations to Paul Sherman who scored a 9 last week to Beat the Blogger’s total
of 6 and beat the field to win this week’s special Super Bowl edition of the Beat
the Blogger contest.
This week’s matchups will be posted soon so make sure you check back and get your
picks posted before the start of the first game on Saturday.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends on Facebook, Twitter and
anywhere else so they can be a part of the action and we can boost our total list
of contestants, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
With the number of weekly participants slipping a bit the last few weeks I’m making
a call to action to all of our regulars to do some recruiting. While more people
means more work for the Blogger and more people for the Blogger to go up against,
I welcome the challenge and offer this challenge to you: If each player can recruit
10 new players and we can boost the total to 200 or more, I’ll triple the weekly prize.
So spread the word about the contest to all your co-workers, family and friends
and meet that goal and boost the prize.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends so they can be a part of the action, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
This week’s winners are posted below so check to see how you fared against
the field.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now b
e
asked to predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to
the actual score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants
to post their e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners
easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.

Most professional sports leagues and teams are actively involved with local charities. The Los Angeles Dodgers are no exception. The Dodgers have always been a charitable organization and in recent years have really stepped up their charitable events even more. On Tuesday February 2nd, I was lucky enough to be present at [...]

Next year it’s going to be different. I’ve had a policy in place now
for a long time that the television remote-control thingy gets put away every year
at the Super Bowl, but no more. They’ve turned everything upside down: it used
to be that the game sucked and the commercials were good, but not anymore.
That was a damn good game last nite and I was rooting for a tie so we
could have had a sudden-death finish. If anything would put some pressure on the NFL’s
dumb overtime rule, having somebody win the Super Bowl based on a coin toss would
be it.
But a rare Favre-like moment for Peyton Manning shelved that idea as
well – for the moment – and now I’m just left with a gala football game that’s come
full circle. Started out as a football game 44 years ago, rather quickly devolved
into a laughably silly capitalistic orgy and is slowly turning back into a football
game once again.
(The Super Bowl has gotten pretty silly in 44 years, but the potential for the
truly historic stuff – like Joe Willie’s brash prediction of upset in Super Bowl III
– means that the game itself is still important and nearly worthy of the hype.)
Oh, the excess is still there, still silly as ever – old geezer rock
bands at halftime? And I’m an old geezer! – but I think all that stuff is just tolerated
because the underlying product, the championship game, still matters.
All the sideshow stuff has kind of mutated into wretched self-parody,
starting first, last and always with the overpriced commercials. I can’t even say
decisively how it happened, but I do suspect that all the genuinely talented people
who used to work on Madison Avenue have spied the bigger bucks available by simply
waddling a bit further downtown. At least with the intriguing Super Bowl commercials
you always had the suspicion that real creativity was being rewarded; I don’t share
that fantasy when it comes to what happens in the financial district.
So no longer will I shelve the remote control on Super Sunday. I am going
to flit around the airwaves just as I do any other Sunday, hoping to find some billiards
on ESPN2 while the NFL behemoths are swatting each other on the butts in the huddle.
Still, I guess it’s an improvement to be disappointed in all the auxiliary
foolishness rather than in the game itself.

Jim Palmer 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces
Taking a quick break from my strict player collection guidelines, I picked up this 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces card featuring Jim Palmer.
I like the Masterpieces set – and I love how they brought back so many of baseball’s greatest players from decades past – Palmer included.
And while I would never [...]
