Join the JBorhood World Cup Extravaganza today

So, you didn't win the Jimmy. It's OK. I didn't either. But here's your shot at redemption: The JBorhood World Cup Extravaganza!

Select who you think will advance in each round of the World Cup and watch as glory, fame, and snarky commentary flow your way in abundance. (Hey, one out of three aint bad, right?)

The winner receives a JBorhood article on the topic of their choosing or a spot on the Tri-Coast Sports Melee (the official podcast of the JBorhood). Try to contain your excitement.
