Topps Bunt is back

Topps Bunt App is back for a second year and it appears that they've gone to an all encompassing iOS platform (I don't think they were on iPhones last year, though I could be wrong).

I've signed up under the nickname "WILDWILL" you can use that as a Promo Code when you sign up and you're supposed to get more coins.  I hope it works.

My Oscar Score - 8 for 24

Well if I were a MLBer I'd be a super-star batting .333.

I suppose this is how much I actually care anymore.  I saw exactly TWO of the winning films in the theater, Brave and Skyfall.


For the record:

2012 - 11 for 24
2010 - 13 for 24
2009 - 8 for 9 (I didn't pick the entire field)

Superbowl XLVII - Ravens 34 - Niners 31 FINAL

And that's it - the Ravens hold 'em in the Red Zone, QBK can't pull off the magical come back and the Baltimore Ravens are the Superbowl Champions for the 2nd time.  Ray Lewis goes out with a ring.

Flacco is my MVP - 22-33 274 Yards, 3 TDs, 0 Ints.

The Niners finally lose a Superbowl.  I'm not disappointed, I really didn't care who won, I just wanted a good and interesting game, and that definitely happened.

Of course the Ravens make it interesting with taking the Safety for the free kick running more time off the clock.  Not a bad call though.  Don't even give the Niners enough time for a hail mary.
