With another Super Bowl behind us I thought we’d visit some NFL players who have gone on to have acting careers. I wanted to make it about books, but not surprisingly, I found little connection between ex-football players and literature 😉 Good luck. Each one is worth 10 points.

This round for every participant I have (currently at $27) I will put in a $ for a B&N gift card or a Babies R Us gift card for the winner. Even if you play only once you are eligible to win the second prize (something special I pick out) and you will be adding money to the kitty for the winner.
