Hey Everybody,

As many of you know, this blog has been nominated for a Baltimore Sun award called a Mobbie (Maryland’s Outstanding Blogs). We started slow but have risen strongly through the course of the contest.

Right now we are ranked as the #2 Ravens blog and #3 Sports blog! Our goal from the very beginning was to be top three in any category we were in, but with the end so near, we have the win in our sights in at least one of these categories.

We know many of you have been voting frequently and we thank you so much! With two days left, we just need a strong push to the finish… visit www.baltimoresun.com/mobbies or click the picture to the right and vote for One Winning Drive!

Thanks for your readership and support!

Whooooooooops. Ok, so first things first… It’s a football, not a mini-helmet! Our mistake. The mini-helmet is signed by Kyle Boller, which we assume is slightly less valuable to current Ravens fans. Maybe we’ll just toss it…

So once again, here are the details. The commenter to submit the 500th comment to this blog will win this Todd Heap signed football (purchased through NFL Auctions, so you know it’s legit). Spam and fluff comments will be deleted and not counted. It’s that simple. You post comment 500, you win the football.

Additionally, the winner of the football will have the chance to be entered in another contest later in the season!

We’re still not even at 100 comments, but that can change quickly with a few clicks/comments per post. We’re expecting this football will be given away before season’s end – if not before the end of October. So get posting!

We want to know what you’re thinking!

As ExtremeRavens continues to celebrate it’s fifth birthday, Dan and I have decided to add a little spice to our blog. We’re looking for a person to make the 500th comment here at One Winning Drive. Comments can’t be fluff, must be relevant to the blog entry and (of course) can’t be spam. So, who’s gonna win this very easy contest? It’s up to you! And to make things interesting, the winner will be entered into a second contest where the winner could score tickets to a 2010 Ravens game!

In response to Tim’s comment… we aren’t particularly close. Under 100 total comments at present. But that will only change one way. And keep in mind, this contest is to get actual responses. We know you all read this blog, and we want to hear your thoughts and feedback on what we’re writing. The contest is enticing you to do so.

Best of luck!
