Friday Night Lights - The Campaign Continues

Sorry for the slowdown around here. I'm technically "on vacation" even though Britney & I had to cancel our ski trip to Lake Placid due to the blizzard they had in upstate NY. Something like 20 inches of snow fell the day before we were supposed to head up there and roads closed, etc. So...we're on vacation...at home...with a one year old...and stuff to do around the house. It's a pretty sweet vacation.

Nonetheless - this isn't about my vacation - it's about the sincerity of the fans of my favorite show 'Friday Night Lights'. What you're looking at in this picture is the result of the first wave of fund raising over at SaveFridayNightLights.TV. This is the first 6,250 mini-footballs that were shipped to NBC in an effort to save the show. Since this shipment, the site has raised enough money to send 10,000 more mini-footballs, give over $1700 to charity, and give more than $900 worth of DVDs to soldiers in Iraq. If you haven't donated yet, get your paypal checkbook out and start giving. NBC has not yet renewed the series but things are looking up and the smallest donation can help!
