The SPORTS COLUMN CHALLENGE 2K7

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:

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

PETER KING'S FOOTBALL COLUMN: You can use this link: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/w ... index.html . This is worth EIGHT POINTS.

BILL SIMMONS'S MAILBAG: Right here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... /sportsguy . This is worth SEVEN POINTS.

DR. Z: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/w ... ref=si_nfl . This is worth SIX POINTS.

ROB NEYER: rob.neyer@dig.com . This is worth FIVE POINTS.

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

OTHER LOCAL MERT: 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.

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?

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.

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!

I was just being a douche.

Sigh. Nobody understands me.
