Apparently if you don't want your teams most hated rival to win and have to look at their colors on Fan Blogs, you can pull your donation from your team and accredit it to another team with the hopes of knocking your rival off the top perch. Damn..I think I confused myself now...lol.

Anyone notice that the new Google-"G" logo around Kevin's name makes him seem almost 'God'-like'???
I can't even get a football logo before my name, and I've authored a few guest columns. As far as the helmet, you get that for signing your name...
And of course, I'm not TE, so I've NEVER gotten a hat-tip. If so, Kevin could back me up on it...
I'm just saying...

Yeah! I got a football! I'll try not to fumble it! Yes, last night, you had the google-script 'G' that was appearing before your name, where the football was. It's not there this morning. I believe also, that in my favorites list, the icon for the fanblogs site may have had a 'G' icon for it, too. Anyone else see it?
I swear I'm not crazy! Is this how people who see UFOs feel? At least I don't live in a trailer park or drive a Camaro...
