Mike’s 50th Annual* Awesome 2016 Super Bowl “Contestamundo”
Rules —
Everyone/anyone can play. People tagged in this post on Facebook are either relatives or have played before and all are welcome. 25–ish questions total. Keep track of your correct answers as best as you can then share your final tally by posting the number correct in the Facebook comments section (not here on my blog since it’s tough to register and add a comment or on LinkedIn either). If you miss seeing something, or recording a stat, don’t worry, just let me know and I’ll post the correct answer.
Winner winner gets a pretend chicken dinner cooked by Caroline AND bragging rights for the year. If you are local, I’ll buy you a beer, wine, hot chocolate, you name it. Tiebreaker? Of those with the most correct answers, person who lives in the more northern state (then city or town) wins.

* OK, I haven’t been doing this for 50 years, heck, I’m not even close to admitting being somewhat near 50 years old myself, but piggybacking off the glitz and glamour of Super Bowl 50 just seemed too cool an idea to pass up. Plus, it got your attention and made you wonder how I’d possibly been doing this for five decades. (Insert smily face, winky emoticon here).
Bye.
