I am the Champion!

Yay, me!

During the Football season this year, I was invited by another blogger to play in a Yahoo Pick 'em league. In this league, you just pick who you think will win each football game each week. You get one point for each correct answer. After being not in the lead the entire season, in the last two week, Ogre, who has never won anything like this before, took the lead and won!

Contagion, the host, score a 167, good enough for 3rd place. That 1 Guy, with 168, was in it until the end. But the big winner (me) got 172 points (out of 256). Yay, me!

Also, apparently mentioned during signups, was the prize. I didn't really pay attention to the prize offering, because I didn't really expect to win at all. Imagine my surprise earlier this week when the package addressed to "Ogre" arrived in my mailbox! And here is what I found:

A helmet magnet of my favorite team! Hooray (and THANKS, Contagion!).

Now I just have to decide where to put it. I could put it with my other magnets on the garage door:

Or I could put it on my car:

Decisions, decisions...

1 I'm glad you enjoy it. Just remember as winner you have to come back next year. Now others are going to be gunning for you, trust me, I was last years winner.

2 COOL! I'll have to try that next year so I can win my 'Niner magnet . I have gone 174-92 so far this year (not counting the Super Bowl) on the Inside the NFL website straight up and didn't win JACK :-/ I say Pittsburgh wins a squeaker in the S/B, and you? Oh, and hey - it's great to see your blog is still kickin' butt... I like the new template :-) Blog ON, sir!

3 I'm sure this was a total fluke. I'm usually REALLY bad at these things. I'm chalking my performance up to picking the Dolphins during their 6-game win streak when no one else would pick them.

4 And GTL, good to see you again! I'm going with Pittsburg because I'm really an AFC fan most of the time.

5 Go Pittsburgh. Double Yoi!

6 I'll watch the game, but I bet I fall asleep during the halftime show I won't be watching.
