Jeff Goodman contest prize update: 11/19/2010

For prior information on this topic, please search for Jeff Goodman in the search box provided on this page.

There is now another twist in the Jeff Goodman contest prize story. Last we knew, the Card Chronicle Headquarters hadn't received a prize. 

Well, last night on my Twitter account (@crazygmeofpoker; no a in game because it wouldn't fit) I was seeking a 100th follower. (Whether I'd gotten to that point by not blocking "people" that follow me like @moonssRodriguez is irrelevant.) In attempts to gain triple-digit followers, I tweeted the following:

Who will be my 100th follower? I'll give you a prize. A prize just like @ gave to @. You have no idea what it is.

Although I was a little proud of my subtle zing at Goodman, I thought my 100th follower would be spammer so I didn't think anything of it. I certainly didn't expect a response from Goodman, famed for his lack of doing so. However, minutes later this appeared on my feed:

(via @goodmanonfox)

@ where is my prize?????

As soon as I got over the fact that a grown man used 5 question marks in a row, I looked up: 100 followers, the most recent being, of course... goodmanonfox.

Summary:

Jeff Goodman owes Mike Rutherford a prize. I owe Jeff Goodman a prize.

I ask Card Chronicle Nation, whose browser history I wouldn't even need to see in order to ensure that the Goodman blog boycott is still intact, whether I should send Jeff "I hate Gorgui Dieng and I don't want him to succeed" Goodman a prize.

It's also worth pointing out

That Goodman recently said he had a year, “like a wedding gift.”

That year ran out on Wednesday.

How bout..

An autographed pic of Mr Rutherford flippin’ the double bird…and the personalized message can say something like – I know you don’t like the Cardinals, how do you like these birds!

by *G* on Nov 19, 2010 12:22 PM EST reply actions  

Or how about an autographed picture of Art Carmody

saying, “To the Second Least Cool Person of 2009.”

doubtful

He’s not given anything to this point…

Give him a T shirt

that says “I promised Mike Rutherford a prize and he didn’t even get a lousy T shirt.”

"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"

on second thought

You’ve already given him

A prize just like @goodmanonfox gave to @CardChronicle.

"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"

True

Probably should have been: “A prize just like @goodmanonfox promised to @CardChronicle”

Sorry to be the lone dissenter

but you gotta give props to the man for a) reading, b) responding, and c) following. Two wrongs don’t make a right, don’t stoop to his level, and .

p.s. This by no means indicates any fondness or any other positivity on my part for the man.

Ahem

As we (who had stripes on our sleeves) used to say when I wore a uniform.. Don’t call me Sir; I work for a livin!

by 97E3LPL on Nov 20, 2010 6:43 PM EST up reply actions  

I had both stripes and bars before I got out

I was missing the ~ after officers since hot hot is a CPT.

by guyngreen on Nov 21, 2010 2:11 PM EST up reply actions  

I too had stripes

Corporal – when I changed over to the dark side. Now have bars, but should be in a leaf by this time next year…

keep the higher ground

you gotta be the bigger man and send him something.

all a man has is his word, show him how to keep your word.

I suggest you send a StrongTinoChuggNellenberger X-mas card.

by drhustle on Nov 19, 2010 11:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Cards Fans are always the bigger man

I think you have to suck it up and be the bigger man. Send him some cool Cards paraphernalia as soon as possible so that he feels even douchier about not ever sending you anything.

Then burn his house down

by Mr.Bigtym on Nov 19, 2010 2:26 PM EST reply actions  

I know

Send him an autographed picture of Gorgui Dieng with “Free Enis, my ass” written on the back.

by JMC1 on Nov 19, 2010 3:26 PM EST reply actions  

Too many good ideas not to send him something

It’s not how Charlie would do things, but possibly sending Goodman his prize would finally get him to send Mike the rightful prize that was promised with the near-correct guess of Lance Stephenson’s field goal count over a year ago.

by crazygameofpoker on Nov 19, 2010 3:50 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I would say

give a prize to Mike and tell Goodman it was for the one he owed him… but then Goodman would think he was absolved and we can’t have that

by Cardinals Cardinals UofL Cardinals! on Nov 19, 2010 4:35 PM EST reply actions  

Give him a mix CD....

with nothing on it but “Baby Monkey” like 50 times.

by CentreCard86 on Nov 19, 2010 4:49 PM EST reply actions  

it is damn catchy

It would be like your own mini form of terrorism towards Jeff goodman

by Chris Redman is my hero on Nov 19, 2010 5:12 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Jeff Goodman is a huge D-bag

Who promises a prize and doesn’t pay up? It goes against everything that is sports. This unspeakable act exposes a huge character flaw in J. Good and he can’t be trusted. The boycott continues…

by bjack357 on Nov 19, 2010 10:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Maybe All of Card Chronicle should send him something

I propose we all just send him the most random thing you can think of. Since you now have his address, why don’t we just all send him the prize that we think he deserves for dissing Card Chronicle.

How bout

A signed J Bone deans milk chug tshirt
