It isn’t often that you get to hang out with a Hall of Fame football journalist the week before the Super bowl. This is one of those times. Ray Didinger will be answering your questions and signing copies of his new book, the New Eagles Encyclopedia at Shibe Sports on Saturday the 24th at 5 p.m. The event is free, and snacks and liquid refreshment will be provided.  Hope to see you there!

Here ya go, the full calendar of our Comcast quizzes for 2015. These have been a lot of fun. Everyone who plays gets a $5 voucher to use at the surrounding shops, and it’s BYO and buckets of ice are provided to keep your drinks warm. Pretty great deal. Looking forward to doing these again in the New Year. First one is Tuesday, January 13th at 5:30 p.m.

Hey guys, have a great charity for us to raise money for for the next two days at quizzo…the Child Guidance Resource Center has a program in which it buys toys for children who otherwise might not receive any for Christmas. A friend of mine who works with local charities says that they do an awesome job. So 100% of the money you donate over the next two days at quizzo will be donated on Wednesday morning so they can go buy toys for kids in need. If you cannot attend quizzo but still want to donate, that’s no problem. Just go here, scroll down a bit, and pay by credit card. For those of you who will be at quizzo, whatever you want to donate tonight and tomorrow, whether it’s a buck or a hundred, will be greatly appreciated. And thanks again for your generosity at the Invitational…here’s the letter I got back from Philabundance once I donated that $100. Happy holidays everyone!

Let’s have a little Yuletide cheer with a JGT Office party at City Tap House on Tuesday night at 10:15. I know many of you are off on Christmas Eve, so why not play a late night quiz? In addition to our normal specials ($3 Gansetts and 2 for $20 pizzas), we’re also gonna have $5 Sly Fox Christmas Ales and $5 Shiner Holiday Cheers. I’ll have extra prizes to give away with a little trivia faceoff action, and you can earn your team bonus points by dressing in ugly Christmas gear (I’ll give ya 2 points per ugly sweater, or one point each if you just wear green and red)! And we’re going to raising funds for the Child Guidance Resource Center. Gonna be a lot of fun and a great way to get in the spirit of the holiday.
