on Acme Packing Company
And here we are at the end of the mini-contest. One last week's worth of picking and we'll wrap it up.
PLEASE NOTE: There are plenty of people who can still win this sucker and the opportunity for a tie at the top definitely exists. There will be tiebreaker questions this week - please include answers for those in your entry.

APC Pick 'Em Blitz Contest - Week 16
by Clutch16 on Dec 20, 2011 10:10 AM EST
on Acme Packing Company
Wow - that last week was...bad. Obviously, most of us got blindsided by the Chiefs and the Colts, but the Panthers and Giants did the pool no favors, either. Ah, well - onward! At this point, no new entrants can make a run for the top - our leader (Tarynfor12) has more points at 48 than could be made up in the two weeks remaining. So any noob can feel free to jump in, just be aware that you're not gonna get a $25 gift card for the Packers Pro Shop. Well, not from me anyway - your grandma could still buy you one, I guess.
Anyway...

APC Pick 'Em Blitz Contest - Week 15

And we're at the halfway point of the contest, with two co-leaders: uofmike and Tarynfor12, each with 38 points based on strong entries last week (14 of 16 right). Nobody's been able to crack 15 yet, but that's bound to change this week, right? Full standings, rules, and my picks after the jump.

One-third of the way through, and it's a tight race. Six users are tied for the top spot with 24 correct picks out of 32 thus far. Standings and my completely awesome picks are after the jump.

APC Pick 'Em Blitz Contest - Week 13

One week in the books, and our leader is vitaminx, who only messed up Seattle and Tampa Bay. We are now all staring at your shapely behind, but there will be no resting on laurels (or hardys), as the worst entries still managed to hit double digits. Standings and my picks after the jump.

Return of the APC Pick 'Em Contest - Week 12

on Acme Packing Company
All right, kids - this is it. Shake what your mama gave ya and show us what you got. We're out of bye week nonsense, so this will be a 96-game test of picking mettle. I'll spice it up and say that whoever gets closest to 96 correct picks will receive a $25 gift card to the Packer Pro Shop. Can't lose, right? My junk after the jump.

My apology to the users of this site
The other night, I had an outburst at the end of a game which the Cubs blew in the late innings. I used foul language and personally attacked another poster at this site, and I apologize for doing both. I will not attempt to make excuses for this behavior - it was inappropriate for this forum and unacceptable.

Good sports bars in Boston?
by Clutch16 on Jul 16, 2011 6:52 PM EDT
on Sports Bar Nation
I am a recent transplant to the Boston area - I'll be settling into the Metro West sprawl, but I'll probably be venturing into the city quite often over the weekends to generally explore and find stuff to do. I was wondering if anybody familiar with the city could make some recommendations for sports bars - what are your favorite joints to pop in and have a couple while checking out the games? I haven't spent a lot of time up here in the past, so I've never really gotten a feel for the city. Any help or advice you could give would be appreciated.
NB: No need to tell me about Harpoon - I've known about them for years, and I adore their IPA. Any other local brews I should check out?
Lightly Wounding Two Birds with One Stone or "How To Fix This Crap So I Can Watch Every Cubs Game"

on Bleed Cubbie Blue
I’ve been trying to figure out what MLB could do to fix some of the glaring irregularities with both the regular season schedule and TV (and Internet) black-outs. While pondering it today, I think I may have arrived at an answer. In a word: Expansion.

Just in time for Super Bowl XLV: Super Bowl I video recording found
by Clutch16 on Feb 5, 2011 2:27 PM EST
on Acme Packing Company
This is absolutely stunning news: A man in North Carolina has finally made public the news that he possesses a video recording of the original broadcast of Super Bowl I between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. It's not in perfect shape (it's missing halftime and a large part of the third quarter), but it's still the first video recording of the broadcast to have surfaced.
The Wall Street Journal has the full story.
