Buy a Date with Anna Kournikova
2 Jun
Currently, the Dads and Grads Online Auction is raising money for “our love for all the dads in our lives with the recognition that our future depends on the success of our recent grads.” In our minds, this is a perfect cause to auction off a date with Anna Kournikova!
Besides a date with Anna, there are some very interesting items listed in this online auction. We broke down some of these items into three categories, to let you see what the going rates were for athletic memorabilia, unique athletic experiences, and face time with sports babes.
Athletic Experiences

So, you have hit that point in life where there is 0% chance of playing in the NBA, NFL, or stepping onto a Major League Diamond. Realistically, your wife/job/drinking habits will not allow you to spend the next 15 years training to make either the Senior PGA Tour or the Olympic Curling team, so, basically, your Pro Career is shot. Here are a few ways to live the dream, if only for a moment.
-Play Golf at Liberty National with Tiki Barber and Shaun O’Hara $5,250.00
Since this was the most expensive item, we figured it was fair to lead with it. Rumor has it, initiation at Liberty National is now 7 figures. This would be a rare chance for the common man to play one of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. (although, I have not figured out how the common many could afford this.) InGameNow is willing to bet big money that Tom Coughlin will not be bidding on a round with Tiki.
-Attend a Swimming Clinic with Olympic Superstar, Michael Phelps $4,250.00
For this much money, one would hope you not only learn how to efficiently pull through the water, but also pull tubes.
-Play in the 2010 Memorial Classic Baseball Game with Hall of Famers & Celebs $1,100.00
Compared to the first two items, this is a steal.
-Meet Justin Tuck When You Play in His 1st Annual Celebrity Billiards Tournament $1,000.00
The only way InGameNow would pay $1,000 to play pool would be if it was strip pool with our favorite billiards player, Jennifer Barretta.
Hang with Models

If you are not Al Bundy, wishing you could play the game one more time, maybe you will be more interested in spending time with models. These three girls are as good as it gets.
-Date with Model Noemie Lenoir in New York $900.00
Noemie is 29, French, and a former Victoria’s Secret model. For only $900.00 you can hang with her. Sounds too good to be true? It is. According to wikipedia, Noemie is married to soccer player Claude Makelele. Then again, who knows, maybe they swing that way…
-Date with Victoria’s Secret & SI Swimsuit Model May Andersen in LA $1,600.00
May Andersen is one of few talented women to work for Victoria’s Secret and appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Not only is May a top model, but she is a little wild. In 2006, Andersen was deported from the United States for an overseas Air-Rampage incident.
-Perfect Your Game with Anna Kournikova at Fisher Island $1,750.00
This title was taken straight from the online auction. I am not sure if this implies that you get to play tennis with Anna Kournikova, or spend 60 minutes trying to woo her. If someone lends me $1,750, I will spend an hour telling Miss Kournikova every pickup line in the book.
Sports Merchandise

So, you have put the weekend warrior days behind you, and your wife will kill you if you spend the kids tuition on a date with a Supermodel, well, here are some great gifts for yourself.
-Own Gary Dell’Abate’s Mets Jersey and Baseball from his First Pitch at Citifield $1,310.00
Word’s can’t do this justice. Watch the youtube video….
Hopefully Howard will buy this for him.
-Signed Pin Flag from Tiger Woods $700.00
It is sad that a signed flag from the greatest golfer EVER goes for significantly less than a jersey worn by Baba Booey.
-Autographed Muhammad Ali Photograph $600.00
My wife is convinced that when Ali passes, this merchendise will go through the roof.
-Daisuke Matuzaka 2007 World Series Autographed Jersey $500.00
Wonder what Dice K thinks about Manny. Hope this doesn’t taint his World Series ring.
-Ram’s Head Pendant like the one worn by Mickey Rourke in “The Wrestler” & a Signed Photo $150.00
Think of this as an investment, but the Ram’s Head now, and give it to your girl on Valentines Day, 2010.
-Chris Chambers Autographed Football $0.00
A new football costs a lot more than this. Chambers has to be embarrassed.
-Football Autographed by Larry Fitzgerald $0.00
If there is any saving grace for Chambers, it is that a ball signed by the best WR in the game goes for the same amount as his.
