The Pepsi game is almost over

I'm kinda sad about it. I've only won 3 prizes. A hat and 2 footballs. The footballs are NFL regulation footballs with a retail value of $79.99 each. I gave 1 of them to my coworker Susie because she gave me a lot of the caps that I used to play the game. I'm sure at least one of her caps was a winner.

Even though I won 3 prizes, I'm still disappointed with the game. I'm a football fan so I would have preferred to have a autographed picture or mini-helmet. I wish they would have let you add your caps up and get prizes based on points values. That can be bad because people can get a lot of caps quick and get all of the good prizes.

Oh well, I just have to take what I can get.

Football pools

I miss football pools. Yes I know we shouldn’t have done them at work but we did and it was fun. No it doesn’t enhance the game in any way. But for gamblers, it’s a blast. We used to play 2 bucks a block and fill the whole pool. But my favorite was the 5 buck pool where we only filled 20 or so blocks so the money could roll over from week to week. We had the pot up to over a grand once. Needless to say we were extremely jealous of the winner.

I wish we had those at my job now.

Football Fans Check This Out

I was surfing the web looking for info about Mike Tomlin, the new Steelers head coach. You know him right? Well, neither do I. I mean I know he was the defensive coordinator for the Vikings and that's about it.

During my surfing I found a great site. A football message board actually. I like the way it's set up. Each division has it's own site. The top section is for football news in general. Superbowl talk, the draft, etc. There is also a whole forum for college football. Some conferences like the Big East, ACC, SEC and PAC 10 have their own section. Some of the small conferences are lumped into one broad category.

You can talk fantasy football, NFL Europe, CFL and there's a feedback link in case you have any problems. There is also a Lounge to talk about anything other than football, but why would you want to go there? This is a football site. I love reading other peoples opinions or conspiracy theories and it's all here. Check it out!
P.S. I totally forgot all about Mike Tomlin. lol
