Punt, Pass and Pick: Super Bowl Edition

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here. And this year it’s especially important for Baltimorians. It’s the Harbowl, featuring brothers Jim and John Harbaugh coaching against each other. In one last final blowout, The Towerlight staff is here to predict the winner of Super Bowl XLVII.   Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: If you’d refer to the opinion section of this issue, then you should know that I really dislike the Baltimore Ravens. All hate for Ray [...]

Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: My heart is slowly melting over the fact that this is the last Punt, Pass and Pick of the semester. I have taken on opponents ranging from the dude who takes photos for us to the dude who used to write sports stories and now only has one functioning leg (get better soon, Andrew!). I wanted to get more than one opponent in this last week, so I’m taking on two [...]

Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: As the season winds down, I begin the search for opponents. A wild Shamus Kelley has appeared, bringing you all the non-football related knowledge you need to know. Shamus is big into nerd culture and the only thing I can match him in is comics and Pokémon, so I managed to pick one game via Pokémon. I have already lost to Towerlight alumna Lauren Slavin this year, who gave non-existent scores, [...]

Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! I am back from a week off (if the teams get a bye week, why can’t I have one?) and I am ready to go. I am especially pumped about this week, as I am going against Jesse Jones for the second time this year and I am still looking for revenge after the Sarah Palin comment. Also, keep in mind I’m writing this [...]

Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: Last week, I played against Andrew Constant, the former Sports Editor. This time, I’m going against former Editor-in-Chief Lauren Slavin. In terms of football knowledge, I’ll take Andrew over Lauren.  But that evens the playing field this week, since I lost against Andrew for picking the Lions to beat the Vikings. If nothing else, Lauren will have much more entertaining picks than me. Lauren Slavin, Towson Alumna: I’ve missed seeing my [...]

Jon: I was finally able to get another win last week, but only because Jeremy picked the Cowboys and I picked the Falcons. Rookie mistake. It also helped that he and I picked the same winners, just with different scores, but I am going to assume my scores were more accurate. This week I am taking on Andrew Constant, the former sports editor of The Towerlight and current man-crush of mine. But that doesn’t mean [...]

Jonathan Munshaw, News Editor: I don’t really know how to top some of the answers that Arts & Life gave last week, but at least the Browns were able to pick up their second win of the season last week. It was ugly, but a win nonetheless. I don’t think winning will be a problem this week against Jeremy, who, although he is my boss, I am a firm believer that he knows nothing about [...]

Jon: Well, even though the Browns and my fantasy team won this week, my picks last week didn’t go so hot, mainly thanks to Seattle, and the Packers actually playing like the Packers. This is a new week, however, and most likely because I wore my Browns jersey on Monday they will lose to the Colts, and Calvin Johnson will strain an Achilles or Fred Jackson will decide to fumble the ball three times and [...]

Jon: GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, I finally got all the games right last week. Except Matt picked the same teams as me, so technically I only tied. That means I’m going for my first win this week against Jeff McDonough, who relieved my duties as women’s soccer beat writer so I had more time to focus on actually winning Punt, Pass and Pick. I have not found time to do that yet apparently. Let’s hope he [...]

Jon: Did I lose last week? I don’t know, and I am too lazy to check, but I’m just assuming I lost since once again, my fantasy team lost. One thing is for sure, even if I lost, I’d still sound smarter and look better than Sarah Palin. Unless of course Sarah Palin was being impersonated by Tina Fey. Nothing looks better than that. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, football.   Matt: [...]
