300 posts........HOLY COW! Now it is really time for a contest!

Never thought I'd get to three hundred posts but the previous post was my 300th post and I failed to see that. I am in as much shock as the guy in the pic up above! This calls for a 300th post contest (real contest folks). I might have to do a little "fishing" and see what I can offer up for a prize! Details to come later in the week. Thanks so much for following along on this crazy ride called, "life in the blogging lane."

THE BIG KAHUNA makes his NFL picks be known!

That's right folks.....step right on up to the box and place your bets! The fine folks here at ENOUGH ALREADY have made their NFL predictions for the first week of the NFL season and we are so glad to share them with you. Come now......grovel before us with your offerings of picks and see if it pleases the Big Kahuna to think that you can outwit him in his NFL picks. We will not demand a virgin sacrifice this time but we will demand that you comb your hair and sacrifice you sister's cousin brother's niece and 2 packages of double stuffed oreos into our NFL picks volcano.

"SLAP SHOT" of the week

Drayson Bowman 2011-12 Pinnacle Private Signings Card # BOW

HAVE YOU SEEN ME? Courtney Brown Edition

Courtney Brown was drafted as the first pick in the first round of the NFL 2000 Draft. Courtney had a productive rookie season and then was bulldozed by the injury bug for the next six seasons which limited his playing time. It seems as if most PSU players who enter the NFL are bit by the injury bug (see Blair Thomas, DJ dozier, Ki-Jana Carter, etc).

(can't make the picture any bigger because the scanner was injured while scanning the card)

Chicken Scratch: Manny Machado Edition

Manny Machado was to be reviewed but this is what I get from Topps:

Eventually when we get the card from Topps (if it ever comes) it will be reviewed and then displayed. Until then here is a funny picture of something odd:
