Super Bowl Contest Answer - And Do-Over
I almost forgot to post the answer to the question I posed during the game in a failed attempt to rid myself of a Fire Ant coaster.
The question went something like this: what Super Bowl record did Tom Brady set around the midway mark in yesterday's game?
The answer, which no one got, is "Most career pass completions in Super Bowls." That was according to the big brain football trivia guys at Fox. I have no idea whether it's true or not.
However, I feel kind of bad about this, for a couple of reasons. First, while I promised "contests," that was the only one I ended up putting forth. I should have realized that liveblogging the game would be too hectic for me to come up with stuff like that on the fly, and I didn't prepare in advance.
Second, it was a lame question anyway. The whole point of liveblogging is to make it where you don't have to watch the event itself, and so what did I do? I picked a question that required you to watch the event. D'oh!
I'd like to make it up to you. If you left a comment on any of the posts during yesterday's game (pre-game and wrap-up included), and you still want a coaster, I'll send one to the first three who ask in the comments to this post. (One of 'em even comes in a fancy-schmancy wooden frame.)
[If you didn't leave a comment yesterday, sorry -- you're not eligible. Even though you might have displayed superior judgment, you still miss out on the chance to win valuable Fire Ant merchandise. I trust you'll learn something from this episode.]
We have a strict rule against ladies reading the Gazette, much less voting on it.
Nevertheless, I shall deliver your coaster at our next fajitas-based soirée. If I don't forget.

Posted by: Phyllis at February 4, 2008 10:49 PMWell, I said interceptions. That's kinda close. Will Phyllis and I end up with a matched set like Toni's?
Posted by: Gene at February 4, 2008 10:55 PMI love it when locals "win," thereby saving me postage. ;-)
Posted by: Eric at February 5, 2008 06:33 AMYou won't forget to autograph them, will you? They'll be worth MUCH more someday that way!!!
Posted by: Phyllis at February 5, 2008 11:38 AMKatie said she was waiting for you to post a response to Gene's guess. Then she was going to guess, that's right! She had the right answer!!! I guess you could give her the frame! (She should have logged on and read you this a.m. and she might have gotten a coaster. (S)he who hesitates...
Posted by: Phyllis at February 5, 2008 09:45 PMTell Katie she's going to have to stop being so invisible!
She can admire your coaster from afar. Or, she could just go buy one of the silly things, and I could finally have that operation I've been saving up for!

Hoorah! We will now have a matched set - and I did attempt to answer the question: and I don't think you're qualified to say I was wrong about Tom Brady being the best looking quarterback to start in 4 Super bowl games - let's ask the ladies.
