Your Vote Matters!

I am sure that very few who read this will actually care about this but I thought that it was funny.

Mark Echo, founder of the Echo Clothing line, has purchased the ball that Barry Bonds hit for his 756th HR to break Hammerin' Hanks record for $750,000. He has decided that he will let the public decide what should be done to the ball. This is your chance to make an impact on Baseball history. Here are your choices:

A. Bestow It: To Cooperstown to be preserved for all to see and appreciate.
B. Brand It: Take a branding iron of an asterisk and burn it into the ball before sending it to Cooperstown.
C: Banish It: Put it on a rocket and send it into Space.

Go and vote, then post what your vote was and why.

College Football Challenge

How about a friendly College Football Challenge? If you have listened to any sports radio show, they always have a Lock of the Week. Here is how it works:

You pick one game each week against the spread.

How do I do that you ask?

1.Take a look at a website such as Yahoo Sports. Below is an Monday Night example.

Monday, Sep 3
Favorite Open Today O/U Underdog
Florida State 3 3 45 at Clemson

Florida State is the favorite. They are favored to win by 3 points. Open is what it originally started at and after people have bet Today is what is has changed to.

2. Pick a team

If you choose Florida State -3, they have to win by more than three for you to be right. If you choose Clemson +3, they must not get beat by more than 3 points for you to be right.

How do you win? Pick the most Locks of the Week correct over the season.

Post your pick each week as a Comment and I will keep a running track for everyone. Please post your pick as "Team" + or - "Points". Good Luck!
