I wonder if they had a rule that they had to do it themselves instead of paying other people to do some lavish, over the top display. It wouldn't be much of a contest if they both just paid people to do it.

Watch the video at that link, I tried to embed it to use Zero's fancy tools but unfortunately I only know how to do youtube.

Anyway, Greg did his by himself and with his cousin so it sounds like it is something they do on their own. If you look close too they do a solid job with a simple display. I like it.

Gotta go with Jennings on this one. His display is just classier, hate those icicle lights that Jones has.

Maybe Zero can answer this, but in Gb I am not sure they have those HUGE mansions??

Jones lives across the street from one of the scale techs I work with, its not that big of a house.

One of Favre's was pretty big though.

I know where Jennings lives, but never drove past to stalk, err check it out.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting a Griswold  like effort.




Greg wins... It is a subliminal Message.. Notice there are only TWO BLUE EXHIIBITS That Stand Out...

The one in the front, represents Donald Driver grazing in the pasture over the middle.

The Second Blue Exhibit represents Greg... Wide Open Deep Down Field.

Every year La Crosse puts on the Rotary Festival of Lights in Riverside Park, with the number of lights growing each year. This year it featured over 2.6 million lights. See video below.

http://www.wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=11569809 

Here is a video from 2007, but as I said, the number of lights has grown significantly since then:

Here is a video of the north side of the park, featuring the synchronized music-light display from this year.

From last year:

From 2006:

None of the videos do this display any justice. You must see it for yourself. I am a Grinch and even I like the display. Admission is free but they accept donations of food or cash.

Zero2Cool (11h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!
Mucky Tundra (12h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide
Mucky Tundra (12h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR
Mucky Tundra (12h) : @DMRussini
Mucky Tundra (12h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source
buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil
buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and
Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!
dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)
dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol
beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal
beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost
beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen
beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC
Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.
beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall
dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.
beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..
dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.
dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.
dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels
dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
