Our get tangled up in a game with this guy.

The idea and all Images for this week's contest were supplied by @clt17

The object of this game is to look at the photos above from a freaky sporting event and then tell a story about the event in your own words as if you were at the scene when it happened.

You can become an observer
You can become one of the participants in the event
You can be a coach
You can be a referee
You can be a newscaster
You can even imagine or dream that you are there

Just tell what happened from your vantage point as if you were right there watching when it happened, or from the viewpoint of it happening to you. Make it weird, make it funny, or make it dramatic. In fact, just have fun and tell the story from what you were thinking when you saw the photo, don't worry about the facts, just make it up as you go.

Title your blog "On Freaky Friday I _____________" fill in the blank with something to make your story unique. Post the video or photo from this contest along with a link back to this blog and a short explanation so that the readers will know what you are writing about.
The story must be 400 words long or longer about the events and scenes in the following video or photo.
The story must be your own work, quotes may be used with credits given but the words in a quote do not count toward the word total. Make sure that you also give credits for any photos used in your story.

The contest is open to anyone, but due to bad actors and scammers on Scorum, I reserve the right to disqualify or ignore any entry from someone known to be a deceiver or who is even suspected of not being genuine. Don't worry, if you have written good blogs free from plagiarism and have not tried to scam anyone then you should have nothing to be concerned about. But if you think that you might be on my blacklist you can email me at scorum_pete@aol.com to confirm your eligibility.
The prize will be 50% of the total payout from the previous contest blog plus any donations.
As part of the reward for entering the contest, I will give a 50% upvote to any qualifying entry plus other upvotes whenever possible.
This contest runs from Friday to Friday so all entries must be submitted by midnight Thursday for whatever time zone that you live in.

This Freaky Friday contest seems to be catching on and growing thanks to all of the support and free advertising that both the participants and friends of the contest have given. I want to thank all of you that have gotten behind this project and are pushing us toward greater rewards. Greater rewards mean faster account building, and my goal is to build up as many accounts of hard working Scorumians as possible.

Special thanks to @clt17 who after having so much fun last week reading and judging the entries agreed to join us again this week and add his critical discerning power to the deluge of fantastic entries that we received.

I have to tell you that the voting was extremely close on this one and we found reasons why several entries should win the prize this week. After narrowing it down to two I considered calling it a tie and splitting the pot, but I believe this contest deserves a winner and after further review, a decision was reached.

The winner of 174 SCR, our largest payout to date is...

Here is a link to the winning entry: "On Freaky Friday I had the best experience of my life"

I want to thank each of the contestants this week, they were all outrageously good and I would love to reward every one of you. But if we are going to be able to keep this contest going and the prize money flowing I will have to tighten up and let the upvotes become your consolation. I hope that you will all enter again this week as we embark on another Freaky adventure together!
