GRAMMY BOWL V

Who wants to watch 3 hours of red carpet dresses, disappointing performances, and unworthy award winners? Me and Adam, that's who! Grammy Bowl V is upon us and it's time for us to prove that no matter how knowledgeable we may be about music, all bets are off when it comes to picking Grammy Award winners. How many people get to vote for the Grammy's? 40,000? More? How many of them are over the age of 65 and should be retired? 85 percent? More? Anyway, every year Adam and I try to pick who will actually win the awards, not who we believe SHOULD win (hence why I picked Lady Antebellum for Record of the Year....LOCK!) I'm ahead in our all-time standings, 2-1-1.
