And also, a tie. Milt Thompson and Tommie Agee ended the week knotted up at 16 votes a piece. So, as per the usual tiebreaker rules, I ask the first three people who care to comment on this post to leave their choice between Thompson and Agee. The card that receives two of those three tie-breaking votes will move on to the next round.
(Edit: Agee wins!)
-------------------------
In the meantime, let's take a look at our opening matchups from the Terrific 32, complete with the eight victors from the first region of this bracket.
I have a feeling the choices will only get tougher from here on out.

Happy voting!
One vote for Tommie Agee. With regards to the beach ball, Agee's is just a killer wide action shot.
ReplyDeleteOne vote for Milt Thompson. BEACH BALL!!
ReplyDeleteMan - I hold the decision in my commenting hands.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm going to pass it to comment #4.
Agee gets my vote. Thanks Jeff. Even though I suppose there is a chance that Thompson is at dodger stadium disposing of that beach ball.

ReplyDeleteI love that Reed Johnson card. It looks like something out of a bad horror film.
