King of Primetime Contest

I know I ask a lot of you, my loyal readers. Sign up here, play this contest there, blah blah blah.

But hey, it is potentially FREE STUFF, and what can be wrong with that?

So here's is the LAST contest I am going to encourage you to jump in on, for this football season. It is our Czabe.com "King of Primetime" contest.

Pretty simple. Pick the EXACT SCORE of either the Sunday or Monday night games - primetime, baby!

Hard to do? You bet?

But if you "nail it" (hat tip: 'Nard Dog), you will be eligible for the grand prize at the end of the year of a "big screen" TV. (Size is pending, kids. More entrants, more chance for a bigger screen, so don't be shy!)

Name, email, zip is all we ask.

Plus, weekly Beer Tubes and other "oh, you came soooo close" prizes through the year.

Best part of all? No need to be present at Week 1 to play. Jump in any ol' week, drop out when bored, come back when you catch your second wind - doesn't matter to us!

So there you go. Have fun, and enjoy.

Dude, You Never Know! The Team Might Just Call You Up For Sunday!

From Drew Magary on Deadspin.com today, the DEFINITIVE, "yeah, he's right" article on just WHY men wear football jerseys.

NFL fans walk around in team jerseys all the time, and even though most of them look like schlubs, most of them FEEL better than they do at any other time of the week. In fact, the fatter and more out of shape you are, the more powerful a spell the jersey casts over your ego. Maybe you look like a real player. Maybe the head coach will be in dire need of a running back in the fourth quarter, see you through the TV screen, and summon you out to the field to go rip off the winning 90-yard swing pass. That will never happen, but the jersey is what lets you dream about it, and often the dream is vivid enough to make a decent substitute for reality. Which is good, because in reality you're fat and your team sucks.

I would disagree with, or argue, his points, but I cannot. I only own ONE jersey, the oddball "Czaban 19" Redskins jersey I ordered custom as an inside "joke" of sorts.

The joke? A. My radio partner Andy HATES men who wear jerseys, and SUPER hates those who put their OWN name on it B. Almost NOBODY has worn #19 for the Skins.
