They can Dish it out, but who can take it?

IMG_0094.jpgIf not for a bunch of prizes to contend for, why else would eight knuckleheads try to break the Guinness World Record for watching TV the longest in one sitting?
That's the scenario starting Sunday at the Wynkoop Brewing Company in Denver as the Dish Network, La-Z-Boy and a few others sponsor the "Ultimate Football Fan" contest, hoping to shatter the mark of 69 hours, 48 minutes.
That's all? We've done that already trying to keep up with the Ryder Cup.
The winner wins a trip for two to the 2007 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Other prizes include a La-Z-Boy recliner, a 32-inch high-def TV from Radio Shack and Dish Network programming for a year.
Contestants from Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis were chosen earlier this week by local radio stations who hosted their own contests.
Any possible contestants from Los Angeles likely refused to go because winning would mean they'd have to find a new use for their DirecTV dishes.
