June 12, 2008 | Contests
It’s Thursday. Father’s Day is this Sunday. You’re still without a gift. You are completely hosed.
Maybe not! Is Dad a sports fanatic? Read on!
Check out Gold Medal Impressions, limited edition sports photos by photographer Dick Druckman. (To learn more about him and his impressive portfolio, click here.) Bottom line: Gold Medal Impressions offers breathtaking photos of moments in sports history… say, suitable as a special gift for a sports fanatic?
Through their incredible generosity, I’m pleased to be able to offer one lucky Want Not reader the 8″ x 10″ matted photo of your choice from Druckman’s extensive collection. What Dad wouldn’t love that?
To enter for a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, June 14th, 2008. One entry per person, valid email address, be kind to animals and small children, etc. Winner to be determined by random drawing and best curve ball.
I will announce the winner on Father’s Day, and then you and Dad can pick out which photo to get. (Good luck choosing, because I’ve already marked about ten I simply must have.)
Ready? Go!

This sounds awesome! Thanks so much!
June 12th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
It may look like I’m doing nothing, but I’m actively waiting for my problems to go away.
Thanks again pretty pretty Mir and random number generator!

Woohoo…another cool contest! Count me in.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Count me in for a sports fan hubby.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Count me in, my hubby is a super sports nut! Seriously, I am a football widow!! Funny story, when we were newly married I woke in the middle of the night in bed and sat straight up. I woke myself up because I was shouting, “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!” at the top of my lungs. I have been brain washed by Monday night football.

June 12th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Hubby is out of town for a military class until next month so he will be spending Father’s Day alone. Knowing he is getting the Brian Urlacher photo would make it more bearable for him! We are die-hard Chicago fans….

June 13th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
You should have made it 11:57 just to rouse the curiousity of all of us cats. Love your blog. Witty. But not witty enough to cringe. You know what I mean.
June 13th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Thanks Pretty Mir!

Any horse-racing photos there? I looked briefly but didn’t see any. Paterfamilias used to own and race horses. He still follows the racing news.
June 14th, 2008 at 11:57 am
I have 3 boys and a hockey goalie for a husband. Got sports?
If I tell people that Luda not only grabbed your ass, but also asked you for your number, would that increase my chance of winning? Cuz I’m down with that, yo’.
June 14th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
