2009 Season - Week 21

And so we are five days away from Superbowl XIV on BBC Two. If you cannot make it to HQ next Sunday for the big game but still want to have a wager or two, we will be playing the usual games at the traditional price of £1 per game. For Rookie Craig’s benefit here’s a summary, remember all money is split equally between the games winners but gambling is the work of the devil. Attached is the price of the Superbowl players so you can enter your team (usual rules 1 x QB, 1 x K, 4 x Outfield Players for a maximum of $7.5m). The other games are First Player to Score (QB only if he runs it in), Half-time score, Full-time score and leader by Quarter eg Colts,Tie,Saints,Colts. (CTSC). All-BUMS Voting Thanks to those who have already voted, for those who have not remember I need (in order) your top 3 Running Backs and top 3 Receivers plus your number 1 & 2 Quarterbacks, Kickers and Coaches. Vote for your players based on BUMS points, how much you enjoy them, what they meant to their BUMS roster/NFL team or just that they were on your roster. The deadline is this Thursday (February 4th) so get your votes in as soon as possible. NFL in the UK The BUMS can exclusively reveal that Marcus and Johnnie have 12 tickets for the Denver/ San Francisco game at Wembley on October 31st. 11 of us are already going so shout if you’re interested in the other ticket. Face value sale £77, no touting in the BUMS Warner Retires Last Friday Cinderella hung up her slipper. Once stocking shelves in his grocery store, then Iowa Barnstormers in the Arena Football League, Kurt Warner hit the heights playing QB for the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe.. It was downhill from there as he joined the Rams of the National Football League becoming two-time Player of the Year and Superbowl MVP ten years ago as he led St Louis to victory over Tennessee. After a second Superbowl visit for the Rams when they lost to the Patriots on Vinatieri’s last second kick he was pensioned off for Marc Bulger. Warner then played sparingly at the Giants as they eased Eli Manning into the starting job. He resurrected his career in Arizona and led them to the Superbowl just 12 months ago. Warner has the 3 highest passing yardage games in Superbowl history and should be headed to Canton soon. He was voted into the BUMS Hall of Fame earlier this year. BUMS on Superbowl Seats The Colts and Saints will kick off at 11:20pm in Superbowl XLIV this Sunday. The BBC’s coverage starts at 10:50pm, & Cher will be cooking a USA feast for 10:30pm so please let us know if you are coming by Saturday morning so we can get the shopping in.
