Now that the website has been upgraded and we are almost where we want the site to be, we are looking for feedback on doing a contest. We are thinking a refer a friend contest might be the best. We would probably do something where the top 3 people with the most new friends/signups starting on a certain date will win some prize money. Keep in mind that if you already have a ton of friends on SportsBlogNet.com you will not have an advantage. Basically we will look at the database from a certain date and if you have the most friends that have created new accounts then you win. Keep in mind adding friends that are already members won’t count. It will only be adding new friends that signup after the contest start date. Don’t bother thinking you can create fake accounts as we are able to look at IP addresses of new signups and we would reserve the right to disqualify someone for suspicious behavior
What is everyone’s thoughts on this? Would you enter this contest? Do you have a better idea for another contest? We would love to hear everyone’s feedback.

So, did the Vikings run up the score against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday? Of course they did, Brett Farves 11 yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shaincoe when the game was already in hand made it 34-3. This touchdown pass really upset a lot of people including The Cowboys. Keithing Brooking Cowboys linebacker after the touchdown walk to the Vikings sideline voicing his displeasure of the play calling by head coach Brad Childress. After the game Brooking called the Viking classless. Brooking said, “I thought it was classless and disrespectful.” The running up the score even sparked some heated debate on the Fox post game show with Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw. Johnson didn’t think there was anything wrong with the play, Bradshaw disagreed with the Viking decision to pass the ball.
So I ask you, Whats Wrong with running up the Score ? I think it was a good thing when Bill Belichick and the big bad Patriots in 2007 were running up the score on teams. The team was making a statement to the rest of the league, who thought there championship were tainted do to spy gate. Have we gone soft as fans that we care about the feelings of the other team. Maybe this goes back to our youth in little league when they had the ten run rule. If a teams was up ten runs they turn off the scoreboard and play the rest of the game not keeping score. NEWS FLASH this is not little league it’s Pro Sports, no matter how bad a team gets beat the players are still going to collect a game check so, stop worrying about there feelings.
Finally, do we remember the name Micah Grimes the girls High School coach who got fired for winning a game 100-0. Grimes got fired for not apologizing about his teams win. Losing his job for running up the score meanwhile the girls who lost 100-0 were all over TV and invited to all types of events. So, don’t feel sorry for the teams that loses big even in High School and Little League. Maybe, if we start there we won’t feel bad about the Pro Players that make millions getting the score ran up on them. So, is it wrong to run up the Score HELL NO.

The 2010-11 NBA free agent period without question will be the best free agent class ever. With players like Lebron James, Steve Nash, Dewayne Wade, Chris Bosh the list goes on and on with great talent. Most NBA teams have position themselves to cash in this off season with a franchise player. But, one free agent that NBA fans aren’t talking about is the man who can make a good team instant NBA Championship Contenders is Hawks shooting guard Joe Johnson. Johnson will be 29 year old this off season and, will be a huge splash for some NBA team. Johnson is the biggest Superstar in the NBA who no knows about unless you live in Atlanta. The Three time all Star is capable of taking over a game at anytime with his great shooting. Just ask the Boston Celtics who drafted Johnson tenth overall in 2001. Johnson torched his former team Monday Night with 36 pts, 12 of his 36 coming in the fourth quarter including a 5-7 for three point range. Johnson who turned down a contract extension in early October from the Hawks, who offered him 4 years at 60 million is looking forward to becoming a free agent. Johnson has averaged over 20 pts in 5 seasons with Atlanta including 20.8 so far this season. Johnson also, had success with the Phoenix Suns in three plus season, Johnson averaged 15.2 pts for the Suns before coming to Atlanta. Johnson who is entering the prime of his career and is ready for another big pay day. Who knows maybe your team will be the one to pick up this unknown NBA Superstar. So, yeah he’s no Lebron or D Wade but, he can take over a game with his shooting for the outside just as good or if better than they can.

Yes, I know Drew Brees is good but I think the Saints could do well with out him. I think the Colts would be a terrible offense without Peyton Manning. Yes, Reggie Wayne is a good receiver but would Dallas Clark be that good on other teams. I doubt it. Yes, Peyton has already one MVP awards and Drew hasn’t but I just think Peyton is more valuable to his team then Drew is and honestly if it was any other year Drew would have my vote but unfortunately both teams are 14-0.
