My nephew Josh has done it again...shot another perfect game of bowling. Not only did he shoot a 300 during last Saturday's Tournament at Town & Country Lanes in Joliet, but a 289 as well (fell short from a tap in the 10th). I am voting for him to win, but he is already MVP in my eyes! JVG for MVP...Go Josh!!! ~Auntie Micky

That is why I voted for the other bowler and why these polls are pure popularity contests, not MVP's for the week! They should be called MPP's - Most Popular Person!
