One Shining Moment

March Madness has arrived. I will spend approximately 15 minutes max filling out my 2010 bracket. Be afraid fellow bracketology maniacs! I plan to defeat all competitors in each of my three bracket challenges (don't worry, I play by the rules and use the same bracket in every group).

Usually I pay more attention to college basketball, but for some reason it just didn't interest me much this year. Perhaps I can blame Sporting News Radio's Peter Brown. On Good Friday last year, Sporting News Radio decided to have a "One Shining Moment" lyrics contest. They would play a line or two of the song, and wherever they stopped the music, the listener had to complete the lyric. After my dad and I pondered for a moment about how ignorant the station was for having such a lame contest (I mean hello it's the 21st century, and any contestant could easily Google the song lyrics and read them aloud as necessary), yours truly made the call and won! Yes, as Peter Brown put it, "to all you guys out there, this GIRL just won!"

Well word Peter, that GIRL is losing respect for all things Sporting News, thanks to you not coming through with the prize! After countless e-mails over a year's time, I STILL have yet to receive my prize and have no longer been getting e-mail responses. Bitter much? YES! It is only a specially designed purple and gold, tiger-striped, glass serving bowl with a fleur de lis in the bottom (for free), but it is the principle of the matter. If you say you are going to do something, especially on national radio, then you better follow through. After all, it's your fault for putting such a lame contest on air and presenting me with a perfect opportunity to out-smart you. Too bad Papa Joe had to flee Sporting News years ago. I should have seen the red flag then.

Peter Brown and Sporting News: you are dead to me!
