Oxymoron Of The Month

I got an email from CBS Sportsline yesterday advertising what they call The Game Before The Game, an annual competition between two players (one from each Super Bowl team) on an NFL video game. Apparently this has become a big deal--in each of the past six years, the team winning TGBTG has gone on to win the Super Bowl. All well and good, until I got to the line (emphasis added)

"Wal-Mart is the exclusive venue to watch this VIP event. . .."


Still holding your breath awaiting the EuroDragon postmortem? Good.

And I'll add a postmortem on the EuroDragon game Real Soon Now.
