Coming Soon to a Computer Near You
I'm not surprised over how many votes baseball and ice hockey got in this poll. After all, they are the Great American and Great Canadian sports. What does surprise me is how few votes basketball got, what with March Madness currently underway!
Last week's poll question: If Booster Gold's origin was revised to eliminate American football, which sport would you use instead? (48 votes)
Next Friday, April 12, the first part of Smallville: Season 11 #13 will be released digitally online. The story "Argo" re-teams the Superman and Booster Gold incarnations of television's Smallville continuity, and it's three parts will be collected into a single "floppy" issue next month. Are you planning to buy this issue one part at a time digitally, or are you willing to wait until it's in print to get your hands on it?

Safety First
Ok, so everything seems to be working around here. How about we give a poll a shot?
Winner and still champion of your Local Comic Shop's bargain bin, Extreme Justice!
Last week's poll question: ( votes)
In recent months, the NFL has been cracking down on player safety in the light of new evidence about the long-term damage of concussions. If football is no longer a safe sport for our kids to play, maybe Booster Gold should consider white-washing his past to be a better role-model.

One for the Ages
Like Justice League International, the Olympics are now over. But like Justice League International, they'll be back.
Last week's poll question: In which individual Olympic event would Booster Gold most be most likely win a Gold Medal? (39 votes)
One thing that will never be back is Joe Kubert. When Kubert died earlier this week, the world lost one of its great artists. Kubert's passing denies us the opportunity of seeing his interpretation of Booster Gold. I'm sure his Skeets would have looked amazing.

Competing for the Gold
I am 100% sure that if Kord Omniversal had been in last week's poll, it would have won in a landslide. Who wouldn't want to see Ted Kord as the backer for the JLI? (Note to DC: get on that.)
Last week's poll question: Who should be the financial backer for the New 52 Justice League International? (51 votes)
Booster Gold may have chosen to play football and become the greatest quarterback in history, but that doesn't mean that was the only sport he could have played. With a little free time on his hands while the 2012 Olympic Games are in session, perhaps it is time to show the world that Booster is good enough for gold.

Conquering the World One Sport at a Time
Earlier this week, Booster-phile Morgenstern directed our attention to OldTimeFamilyBaseball.com, a blog devoted to -- you guessed it -- baseball. Not just any blog about baseball, it's a blog that recognizes greatness when it sees it. That's why Wednesday's post was about Booster Gold.
Specifically, the post was about Booster Gold's brief meeting with the Minnesota Twins as published in 1987's Booster Gold, Volume 1, #21 and #22. As you would expect from someone who honed their powers of observation by looking for funny mustaches on old baseball cards, Old Time Family Baseball's interpretation of the events of the issues aims right at the center of the strike zone. Recommended reading for Booster Gold and baseball fans alike.
