I'm sure you don't think so if your sport is baseball...or football or basketball for that matter. But that seems to be the consensus among my friends and contacts, at least where the Team Challenge is concerned. I told you a little about the Team Challenge last week. It's the upcoming tournament where iconic basketball, football, baseball and hockey players, will play golf. Team golf. The kind of golf we all love to watch. And the excitement level is going to be bumped up a notch because the organizers have invented a whole new Internet platform, called "strat.e.golf", that's going to let fans make real time coaching decisions. Add to that accelerated scoring and fan selected 2X players who's matches will count for double points... and I think we're actually bumping it up a lot of notches.
To get in on the action just sign up at the Team Challenge website and register as a ProCoach. You'll not only be able to vote on your teams strategy, and help select your teams 2X player, you'll also be able to enter an amazing sweepstakes that could win you and a guest a five day trip to Palm Springs to participate in Team Challenge events, and party with the players. You've got to enter by May 18th though, so get on over there.
The $250,000 purse will go to some great charities selected by the team captains, as will $1.00 for each fan that registers as a ProCoach for the winning team.
Now back to the hockey team. Not only are they being favored by my friends to win they also might end being the best dressed. A couple of days ago, in a press conference call, I was able to ask some of the players, including team captains Drew Brees, Ozzie Smith and Mario Lemieux what they would be wearing and who would be the best dressed... yes, I really asked them that... and captains Brees and Smith reluctantly conceded that the captain Lemieux and his hockey guys tended to be the most fashion forward.
Well, we'll soon find out. Personally though, I'm going with baseball, because besides golf it's the best sport in the universe. Anyone have a problem with that?
Baseball??? No way. Baseball is the most boring sport in the Universe. Some people find golf boring but that's just because they don't understand it. Baseball gets more boring if you DO understand it.
ReplyDeleteI with Barkley's team all the way.
I've to agree with marco on baseball. Paint drying. Drew & Britney Brees has done a lot for the children of New Orleans with Operation Kids. I'm going with the football team.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, Mario Lemieux is a scratch golfer! I think Patricia's friends are right it going to be the hockey team :)
ReplyDeleteI <3 hockey!
Golf-boring
ReplyDeleteBaseball-boring
Hockey-lame
Grant Fuhr is a hell of a golfer and even won a pro event in the past. My Canadian Hockey players will dominate!
ReplyDeleteI love to golf and watch golf (with my eyes closed). Hockey is great to go see in person however it is hard to follow on TV. Baseball is the most boring major sport in the world to play or watch. In some games players never have never see any action depending on the position they play and 25 years ago an average game lasted 2 hours and 5 minutes now they run over 3 hours with absolutely no action added.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like there are some divergent views on who'll prevail in the Team Challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou hockey fans seem very confident, but as you know golf can be unpredictable so don't go counting anyone out yet ;0)
As for my love of baseball, I've got to admit it's kind of visceral. More to do with growing up in a baseball family and loving the ballparks in summer then the actual game. d:v)

ReplyDeleteThe challenge if the hockey player's to lose.
