During our Ultimate Sports Road Trip travels we come across some really cool promotions and contests; then again we also see some that are downright ridiculous.
But the one here at the Big East tournament, sponsored by New York Life, is one of the dumbest ones we have ever witnessed. The sponsors ought to be ashamed [...]
