Ever write a haiku? Give it a try -- haiku is a Japanese verse form consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

Here's an example:

Eyes dart back and forth
Chest hits, arms grab, runner falls
Tedy rules the field

A panel of judges will scream out the haikus in our best Howard Dean voices, and pick the one we like best. The winner will get a nice cheesy prize from our Marketing Dept.

Strong on field and named after,
Frosty beverage, Bruschi loved by fans, For both his sacks and tackles, And world class mullet.

He studies his opponents
