While I joined the forum several years ago, I never really posted until one year ago. I see I now have my 5th star (1000+ points), even though I have less than 500 posts.
Over this past year, I have learned quite a bit, shared my two cents worth, had a few laughs, and developed many positive relationships. I tend to read the forum very late at night to help put me to sleep. LOL. In all seriousness, the forum has become a larger part of my life and routine than I would have expected, and that is good.
In appreciation, I’m giving away 1 oz. silver bullion – the winners choice from among a few I have. Being it’s this time of year, the winner will be determined by a Superbowl contest. Only one entry per person, and no edits are permitted.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU BOOKMARK THIS POST AND COME BACK TO IT IN ABOUT A WEEK, ONCE WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHICH TWO TEAMS WILL BE PLAYING.
There’s no rush, but entries cannot be accepted after the coin toss. By the way, did you hear about the coin they’re using for this years Superbowl official coin toss? On one side is a bust of Teddy Roosevelt, and the other side is a bust of Nathan Hale. Know why? This way, when the toss is called, the player calls “Ted’s or Hale’s” (OK, I made you suffer through that as the price to enter).
Here are the rules:
1. Pick the actual winner of the game. Point spreads do not matter. Anyone who did not pick the winning team is eliminated.
2. The first tiebreaker of those who picked the winning team is to predict the total points scored by the two teams combined. Just provide the total points, DON'T predict an actual score.
3. If there’s still a tie, the final tiebreaker will be the total number of official passing yards completed by both teams combined. This includes passing yards completed, even by players other than the quarterbacks. Total passing yards completed.
So, as an example of an entry, you can say the San Francisco 49ers, 47 points in total, 410 passing yards completed.
As noted above, only one entry per person, NO edits.
Have fun!
Steve
P.S. It's OK to post a comment, and that will not count as your entry, as long as you don't provide the guesses as shown in #1 -3 above.

KC Chiefs. 65 points. 520 yards
OK, that counts. My suggestion to others is to wait until next week, to make sure the team you pick is actually in the Superbowl game!

I see through 10:54 am, about four people have submitted their guesses. There's absolutely NO advantage to doing it early. if your team loses next week in the playoffs, you've blown your chance. Why not wait to make your guesses until we know exactly which two teams are in it? There's NO rush!

It will be the KC Chiefs against Green Bay Packers? Don't know who is on the national side
As a Tennessean I have to predict TN Titans finally with a total of 27pts scored and 400 total passing yards.

Teds or Hales ? I love it. That is hilarious !!!!!
Why is everyone guessing already? You don't even know who is in the SB yet, and you just wasted your guess if your team doesn't make it.
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
@winesteven Thank you for your generous and FUN contest ..... I'll be back in 3 weeks
Sometimes it is good to live on the edge.
Book Mark!
I know. But I don't care if KC doesn't make it!
Hope! Kind of like filling out a NCAA bracket.
