Next up: The Giants in London. Early on Sunday your time. Me, I didn't have the means to go watch it live. But at least I won't miss is due to night shift.
Fun fact: Oasis' Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was the most disappointing CD I ever bought. What were they thinking!? I remember buying it full price right when it came out, all excited, and having to listen to it a few times until realizing there were no redeeming qualities. The only other culture thing that has disappointed me as badly was The Phantom Menace.

Here's Johnny is a season-long contest with the idea being to pick the Packer who overachieves the most in the week's game. Rules below:

Ok Ok, so it has been a convenient catch phrase for me over the past 30 some odd years. But besides that, it has inspired me to create a week-by-week segment that will involve picking 1 Packers player that will really stand out in a good way; someone who we can expect to transform into a beast, force himself through the metaphorical door jam and really rear his ugly head. You can pick anyone you wish, but just remember the bolder the pick, the better (ie, picking AR is a safe choice, but you're only likely to win if he does something historic).
Which brings me to my next topics - rules and voting:
- Each participant is allowed to pick 1 player per week. (See Amendment I)
- No two participants may pick the same player.
- Picks can be made from the time the weekly thread is posted until kickoff. Any picks made after kickoff will not be considered.
-- Amendment I:
a] If a player wishes, he/she may select the offensive line as their pick for the week. Your potential for votes depends on the performance of the entire group as a cohesive unit.
b] Individual players within the offensive line unit will still be eligible for selection before and after "offensive line" has been picked. (i.e. if someone has already chosen the Oline, Lane Taylor would remain an eligible pick)
c] The offensive line will be the only position group eligible to be picked and receive votes
- After each game, participants can place their votes for the one poster who they felt had the best pick.
- Voting session commences at the conclusion of the game and will end around mid-week.
- Each participant is allowed 1 vote per week.
- Only participants may vote and no participant may vote for him/herself.
The poster with the most votes at the time polls close (around midweek) will be that week's winner.
The poster who has won the most weeks at the end of the season will get a custom made banner for bragging rights and perhaps some additional prize (TBD).
Why am I doing this you ask?
Simple answer, really- all work and no play make Papa Johnny a dull boy.
