Around SBN: 7 Important Questions About The Heat Vs. Celtics Series

The Extraordinary Knuckleballers Club

R.A. Dickey has been all throughout the news of late. HIs amazing journey to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro is an unprecedented feat in the world of sports. Dickey, with his charismatic personality and humorous qualities has captivated Mets fans. What is not as often discussed about is the underground club that Dickey, himself, inspired: The Extraordinary Knuckleballers Club. The true purpose of the group is still unknown; the members, however, consist of some of the most wise, extraordinary knuckleballers in the world.

These are great.

There should be a new one introduced every 5th day when RA takes the mound.

And on the 5th Day

You shall do no work, neither shall your wife, your children, your manservant, your maidservant, known of your household, for on the 5th Day the Lord Dickey deals the knuckleball, and all must lie quiescent before its might

Rec'd for the use of 'quiescent'.

I need to find a way to use that in everyday conversation.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
