No Excuses This Time

Super Bowl XLII was the most-watched football game of all time, as nearly 100 million Americans did their civic duty by sitting in front of the TV for five hours waiting to see if this year's commercials were any good. They weren't. An afternoon, wasted. I guess the game had an exciting moment or two.

So the Super Bowl might explain why attendance was down for our $200,000 Sunday Guaranteed Tournament. We were breaking records week-to-week, but last Sunday we had a little dip in the numbers. Today, we're hoping to see those numbers dip upwards. If, uh, you can have a dip that goes up. I don't see why not.

And today there's nothing to distract you from your 5pm ET appointment with UltimateBet. The Pro Bowl? Please. Anyone who watches the Pro Bowl is in need of an intervention. Football season is over. Unlike poker season, which goes on all year 'round. There's no offseason. Can you imagine there being a time of year when you COULDN'T play poker? It's too horrible to contemplate. Best not to even think about it, and instead spend your time productively by playing in today's $200K Guaranteed event.

And of course there are bounties on our Team UB pros for today's event. Knock out KrazyKanuck, debo34, P0ker H0 or Shawn Rice and you'll be freerolling the day away.
