I am going to try to get on this guy's radio show on Monday:

Rack 'im!

I understand that I am going to be up on you pretty soon with my PHAT ASS TAKES.

I was just being a douche.

Sigh. Nobody understands me.

What did you mean by "what contest"? The contest to get into as much media as possible is all I meant. I was distracted by soaking up these delicious ads!

Awright!

What contest?

I can go ALL YEAR if that's what it takes, baby. You see these fists? They belt out takes, one right after the other.

Who else is in this? I would guess Pinback and my brother and Dayna. I just don't want to see this contest cast aside and forgotten about like every other topic.

December 31, 2006? We only have a week and a half? Why not make it a year-long affair, like the Dead Pool, only not, you know... stupid.

Also, like I mentioned before... Are we on an honor system here? Or will there be independent verification? Like the people that oversee Oscar voting?

THE MISSION:

Bugs got an e-mail read on the Jim Rome show. We should all compete to see who is the SPORTS COLUMN MASTER.

THE RULES:

Between now and December 31st, 2006 your mission is to get into as many of the following mailbags as possible:

[b]THE JIM ROME SHOW [/b]: An e-mail will suffice. The address is rome@haveatake.com. This is worth TEN POINTS.

[b]PETER KING'S FOOTBALL COLUMN[/b]: You can use this link: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/peter_king/12/12/garcia/index.html . This is worth EIGHT POINTS.

[b]BILL SIMMONS'S MAILBAG[/b]: Right here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=feedback/sportsguy . This is worth SEVEN POINTS.

[b]DR. Z[/b]: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z/12/08/mailbag/index.html?eref=si_nfl . This is worth SIX POINTS.


[b]ROB NEYER[/b]: rob.neyer@dig.com . This is worth FIVE POINTS.

[b]CHRIS BAHR[/b]: Uh... I can't find a free column he writes. If someone gives me this info, this is worth FOUR POINTS.

[b]OTHER LOCAL MERT[/b]: If you manage to get into a local mailbag, like the Toronto Blue Squatter's minor league lacrosse column that counts, too. You can get ONE POINT.


Additional:

If you use your real name then great. If you use a non-obvious alias then you have to tell us. For instance, if John Pinback, Delarion Yar or James "Flea" Bugs gets a letter posted then we can assume that it was you who did it. You do have to tell us before it gets posted, if it is a non-obvious alias.

Bugs is currently in the lead with his ten point e-mail to Rome.
