Around SBN: New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Ring Unveiled

Create A Caption #38: Round 1

During games in between foul shots, Dwight Howard likes to get a hold of the basketball, clutch it with his hands, and try to bless or curse it depending on whether a teammate is shooting the ball or an opponent is. Whatever works, eh?

 

I've been saving this picture so feel free to indulge yourself.

 

Rules:

 

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc. 

 

I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want. 

 

So for a quick recap.


- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. 

- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.

- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written. 

- The contest will last four days, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner. 

- There will be two rounds in the competition. In the first round (Friday/Saturday), submissions are made and votes are tallied. At the end of the second day, the submissions that garnered four or more "recs/votes" will advance. In the final round (Sunday/Monday), votes are tallied for the eligible submissions. 

- Winner will be announced Monday afternoon or evening.

- The contest is subject to change

 

Let the contest begin!

GAME OVER.

Major League references are automatic wins, in my opinion. Fantastic.
