*************************** Super Bowl Contest Format/Entry Form ***************************

Same rules apply... (Must use the above subject line as the subject line for your entry -- so that I can easily spot the entries amidst other posts) -- entries must be posted (or e-mailed to me @ JimbeJim@yahoo.com) by kickoff.

20 pts. if you pick the winner.

Also, in addition to picking the winner, you must predict final score of game... it will be used as a tie breaker if necessary for the overall post season contest....

Sun. Feb. 4, 6:30 pm ET: Philadelphia Eagles @ New England Patriots (in Minnesota)

Good luck!

Share some recipes... for food and/or adult beverages...

I'll be doing another one-man chili cookoff, offering up 5 different "styles" of chili (deciding which 5 next weekend because I try to be weather appropriate) and this year I'll be featuring a Belgian brew called Golden Monkey Ale -- 9.5% abv, plus my wife's fav: Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout, Pizza Port (one of 187 local breweries) Shark Bite Red ale, and for those with more tastes/desires, La Jolla Brewing Company Neptune’s Light (Nitro) -- don't let the name fool you, it's a straight ahead 4.9% abv American style lager, but when you brew it in one of the country's more expensive zip codes (and to set yourself apart in this craft beer capital of the world), everyone tries to come up with outrageous names that stick in your head.

Depending on how the game is going, at half time, I may break out anywhere from 1 to 3 blenders and start making mass quantities of margaritas using only top shelf agave and Cointreau and as always, to keep it real and authentic, served Mexican style with salted glass and on the rocks, not a grownup frou frou slushy substance in weird glasses.

Thanks JimisJim. To be temporarily ahead of Bill3425 and Raider Girl is my accomplishment of the year. <gg>

Careful Board Boss...

Wile E is well known for coming back and making his presence known. It is my guess that if you are not extra cautious, he will influence your Week 1 and 2 Picks next Season in order to get you behind the Art, er I mean 8 Ball. Meanwhile, take the usual SB Props: Brady Over Passing Yards, Score in last 2 Minutes of 1st Half, and the fun 2 Point Conversion, Safety, and gosh many other goodies that must be "studied"...

I think Spitsong will win unless all current leaders also pick the Eagles. If they all pick the Pats, I will end up second to Spitsong by one point.
