What's that you say boys and girls? A Cam Newton Rookie card contest? Ya don't say!

So..........................who feels like winning a Cam Newton Rookie card (and it's no basic rookie card)? I'm so happy that the NY GIANTS won again this week that I feel like giving away a Cam Newton ********************** (try and decipher that code- ha!) rookie card that I pulled recently. The contest and entry details will be up on thursday night..........stay tuned for more details to come!!!

Thought for the day:     Who really wins when you fish at a nudist colony?

It's over.....Finally done.....It is complete.

Yesterday was the closing of another chapter in my life........helping with coaching my daughter and her softball team mates. Thanks to "Mother Nature" this past spring most of our games had to be rescheduled and since May 16th we have had a game almost every day or prolonged practices. This past weekend wrapped up our playoff system and despite the girls playing their little hearts we couldn't advance past round three. The tournament started on Friday night and we lost the first game but it was a double elimination so we still had a second life to play on Saturday. Well......wouldn't you know it.....it ended up raining on Saturday and everything was moved to Sunday and the time limits were shortened for the games (basically you got to play 3 innings). I will say one thing: little girls are not meant to play ballgames at 8am on Sunday mornings because that means being there at 7 am and let me tell you there are some cranky 7-12 yr olds at that hour. Unfortunately we fell victim to the time frame and lost that game due to it.

My schedule was at an all time high with work, ballgames, practices, chaperoning school trips, tending to the Future Mrs. Big Kahuna, tending to being called into work on my days off, and somehow managing to find a little time to get some sleep in between the craziness. Now I will finally have a chance to get caught back up with everything as my son will be finishing out his ball season on next Friday and then their playoffs begin that following Saturday.

BRIAN-PLAY AT THE PLATE: I received a package in the mail from you on monday and just got to it today. Thank you my friend for filling in my checklists. I will return the favor! BTW Your prize package was shipped out today! Sorry for it being a little late but we wanted to add a few more goodies before it shipped out. The lady at the post office asked how the box could be so heavy for the flat rate priority mail. She asked me if I had weights in it and I said, "No ma'am......just sportscards".

I had emailed a few bloggers requesting some addresses and I did not forget about you! The little surprise packages I have for you are going out the end of the week. I'm just playing catch up with everything and the kids were filling up the bubble mailers today.

BTW.....DID YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHY I ASKED IN THE LAST CONTEST I HAD: HOW MANY GAMES WILL IT TAKE TILL BRYCE HARPER GETS SUSPENDED? There is always a reason for the method of my madness. Bryce Harper is Capt. Attitude (especially with that gay porn-stache he was sporting). He's so macho he even blew the pitcher a kiss!

Don't forget to enter the contest we are having!

There's still plenty of time to enter the contest we're having. Just remember you have to follow the rules of the contest to be entered. The last day to enter the contest is May 16th at 11:58pm. The winner will be announced on the 17th of May. Here is a little peek at some names you will find:

In case you have not seen the new PSN ratings

"It's always about the numbers" CONTEST!

It's contest time again here at Enough Already. This time the theme of this contest is 9545263 (numbers). Really simple eh! I have a mega-lot of cards from football, baseball, basketball, and hockey and every card is serially numbered. There are all stars, rookies, veterans, players you've heard of, players you may have not heard of, some that were arrested, and some other various inserts are included and I think the pot has reached well over 100+ cards. Here's the fun part: Like always here at E.A. we are not telling you who is included in the contest. What we will tell you is there is some limited 537739 cards, a few 2886472747's, and a few other surprises to boot including a true 1/1. I think it's safe to say that our previous contest winners were happy with their prizes and we always strive to make the winners pleased!

The rules for the contest is as follows:

Leave a comment with your name and the following questions answered:

1. Leave a comment stating where you think your baseball team will finish this year ( Ex: Mets: 50-112)
2. Leave a comment on what you think the batting average of the 2011 MVP will be.
3. Leave a comment picking a number between 1-762.
4. Leave a comment on how many strikeouts you think the 2011 Cy Young winner will have.
5. Leave a comment on how many games it will take till Bryce Harper loses his cool in a game and gets suspended for his actions.

Ok. So there's a little thought work that needs to be done but it's all number guesses so that shouldn't be too hard to do. Feel free to promote the contest to other folks and make sure you follow the rules of the contest to be entered. You have to answer all questions to qualify! The last day to enter the contest is May 16th at 11:58pm. The winner will be announced on the 17th of May. GOOD LUCK!!!

P.S. Have you figured out the code?

CONTEST TIME........soon!!!

I think it's time to run another contest here at "Enough Already". Perhaps a SPRING contest is in order because I am officially done with winter (so what if it snows again). I'm ready to get out on the fields and play some ball! I'm ready to make kids cry by calling them out/safe. I'm ready to PARTY! I'm ready to watch some millionaires strike out like crazy (cough cough Ryan Howard). However, the question that I have burning in the back of my mind is, "what shall I giveaway this time here on Enough Already?" Could it be tickets to a ball game perhaps? An autographed ball? An autographed bat? A proctology exam with aliens? An autographed card? A new Yugo? Dinner date with a cougar (guess what's for dinner!)? A complete set? Guess I'll have to mull it over for a bit perhaps. I'm full of surprises as some of you have found out already!

I'm about to hit 16,000 views which I never expected to have happen and I am thankful to all of you for taking time out of your schedule just to see what's happening here. Much love, appreciation, and thanks to you all!

Contest reminder- extra day given to enter

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to enter the big Christmas contest . I ask that you please only enter if you have honestly and faithfully followed the rules of the contest. The winner will then be announced on DEC 26th. I was going to announce the winner on Christmas but we will be leaving tonight and won't be back until late Christmas day and I will not have computer access during that time SO I'll give everyone an extra day to enter. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and be safe in your travels!

The Contest is no joke and I am dead serious about it!

It has come to my attention from 2 "kindly worded" emails that I received that apparently they think my contest is a feeble attempt at humor and the prizes are a joke and that no one would be willing to give that much. Here's the funny part.....the joke's on them. This contest is a very serious contest. It's about giving to others who don't have. Instead of wasting $85.00 on a box of cards feeding your card habit why not take into consideration what $85.00 could get someone who is perhaps homeless or living in a shelter due to circumstances beyond their control. That lady in the shelter could have been a victim of abuse and has nowhere else to go. That family of four could've had a fire and lost everything. We don't know all of the stories but they're there for a reason. Some people need blood transfusions and blood supplies are low. Blood donors are badly needed. What about the mother and father of a family that lost their jobs and have not been able to find employment. There are children who will not be getting presents on Christmas Day due to things beyond their control. There are families who will go without a meal on Christmas Day. The point of the contest is to make the holiday good for someone who may not have it so good and to give some a little bit of comfort or happiness in a difficult time. I take this contest very serious and I'll tell you why in the short form. I'm going to expose a little bit of my soul:

On my 10th birthday my parents divorced and my Father chose to leave me out of his life. He paid hardly anything in child support and chose to leave at the worse of times. So I had lived with my mother who had Cancer at the time and I chose to help her since my Father wouldn't. My mother could not work a full time job due to her illness. I know what it's like seeing the opening up of Christmas gifts of others and yet knowing it was ok that my mother did not get me anything because she couldn't and I understood but yet she felt so horrible about it. Between Mom going back and forth for chemo treatments and holding my mother's head in my hands at time because she was puking so much I kind of never got to do most things kid did. I had to be an adult at a young age. My mother is a cancer survivor but she is also Diabetic. She has lost her right leg from the knee down due to infection and just recently had half of her right middle finger removed due to infection settling into the bone. This is another reason why I have listed as giving a donation to Cancer Research or Diabetes research.
I know what it's like to be at the bottom of the barrel. I know what it's like to have nothing. Am I angry? No. Am I sad? Yes. I'm sad because someone would think that giving to someone else would be a joke. Better yet here's my thought:

To Randy & Glenn P. who so kindly wrote me: I'd be willing to bet that you two gentlemen are pack searchers. I'd be willing to bet that you would probably take a 1987 Donruss Greg Maddux rookie and sell it on Craigslist for 100.00 gem mint status. I'd be willing to bet that you when you were kids you stole money from your Mom's purse. I'd also be willing to bet that you don't wash your hands after peeing or wiping.....EVER. I'd be willing to bet that you two are the kind of idiots who praise Beckett and shun EBAY values. I'd be willing to bet that once santa finds out your address you're gonna get more than lumps of coal.

So yes the contest is very real and it is true to my heart.
