If someone from here wins, is it ok to source them in rumors?
Wreckard - January 16, 2012
Heh.
Sure, since they’ll be at the games.
Al Yellon - January 16, 2012
Ivy Walls is going to lap the pack in this game.

Why don't you enter, SWL?
Your tweets would be… interesting.
Al Yellon - January 16, 2012
I agree...SWL has the ability to say so much in very few words, seriously :)

Here's why I won't enter...
If I won, I would spend the majority of my time at these events commenting on the food and complaining about the annoying people who attend popular sporting events. Also I would refuse to attend any NBA games, as I can’t in good faith categorize anything that happens during one of their contests as ‘basketball’.
santoswoodenlegs - January 16, 2012
i'll attend basketball games for you
jesus christos - January 16, 2012
I have no qualms about attending basketball games.
santoswoodenlegs - January 16, 2012
See, I think your statement would make you a perfect choice.
Go for it.
Al Yellon - January 16, 2012
peer pressure is a powerful thing, swl
don’t do it if you want to be cool
jesus christos - January 16, 2012
beer pressure is even more powerful...
…but soup pressure trumps all.
ballhawk - January 16, 2012
EXCELLENT POINT
ballhawk! Most people vastly underestimate “beer pressure”, we hear so little about it and research seems plodding…
jeffstorm2 - January 16, 2012
I don't want to be cool...
being cool is not cool.
santoswoodenlegs - January 16, 2012
Untrue SWL
You saying “you don’t wanna be cool” is like Angelina Jolie saying “I don’t wanna be pretty!”…now, why not get crackin’ on your video? (You could also feature a cameo by Dan…I love this plan!!!) :]
jeffstorm2 - January 16, 2012
I'll apply for this.
I think I would be pretty good at it. Getting paid to do watch and comment on something I love? Sign me up.
Unique - January 16, 2012
I'll give ya the point
that you often put an interesting spin on things…but…doing it for paragraphs instead of sentences might be different…I dunno. Good Luck to you if you do the video Unique!
jeffstorm2 - January 16, 2012
Thanks bud.
Unique - January 16, 2012
I'd enter
But I just don’t think I could fit in how passionate I am about Comcast products and services in under two minutes. At minimum, I’d need ten.
shoemile - January 16, 2012
i remember i had comcast internet a few years ago
went out for a week every month. screw comcast
jesus christos - January 16, 2012
Welp, looks like you're disqualified.
shoemile - January 16, 2012
Ohhhh... you mean he'd havta
tell the TRUTH about Comcast?!… not very appetizing!
jeffstorm2 - January 16, 2012
given that I cancelled Comcast because they suck
I probably wouldn’t qualify anyway.
drewishdrewid - January 16, 2012
Since I'm sure everyone is wondering
