Not that I want to be the girl who blogs about contests all the time, but it’s a slow week, Maddy is still recovering from her trip to Wisconsin, and this little piece of news floating around my inbox just can’t go ignored. Apparently, b5 Media has announced a whole new slew of sports blogs that are going live this week and in order to kick things off they’re having - yes, you guessed it - a contest! Now this of course is not unusual, many blogs try and do this (ahem, cough cough) but something about the timing seems rather suspect. In fact, it seems like it was only yesterday that another sports blog had announced a contest. Hmmm. Let me see, yes, no, you know what? I just remembered! It was us. You’re on notice, b5 Media!

So what kind of cool prizes are they offering? Well you can read more about that in their press release, but I notice the list seems a little lite. A little - shall we say - weak. As if someone had an active weekend at the local garage sale, or airport gift shop and slapped together a few gift bags. I mean, it’s not like everyone can compete with a blog giving away a Free 42″ Flat Panel Plamsa HDTV. But then again, they are a giant, well financed network of blogs and we are just three girls with a dream. From a trailer park.

Don’t cry for me, Argentina, I’ll be fine, but I at least wanted to pass the information along to you guys. You know, in case any of you have David Beckham fever and want a free bobble head doll made to look like him (because his stint on the LA Galaxy is really taking us Yanks by storm). Or a teddy bear dressed in a sports uniform. Because I know how much guys love teddy bears. In fact, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my father, brothers and every boyfriend I’ve ever had, it’s that men love sharing their emotions. And having a good cry. And nothing helps facilitate that process more than a cuddly teddy bear.

I realize you’re all thinking ‘Is CJ picking a fight with b5 Media’s Sports Blogs? Starting a beef ala Kanye and Fiddy?’ Well…Maybe I am. And Maybe I AM.

But I’ll let you all decide. Check out their list of prizes and tell us what you think. And please. Don’t crash the server fighting each other to be the first to comment. One at a time, boys. One At A Time.
