Top Affiliate Challenge - 4th of July Edition
For the 4th of July holiday weekend, the contestants of the Top Affiliate Challenge went to a baseball game and fireworks display. This is the first time I’ve ever been to a baseball game. I now know why I have never been to one before. It’s the most boring thing you can do. Then again, maybe that is the point. Many people like to sit around with a beer in one hand and a beer in the other hand and be bored.
The fireworks display was held at the same place as the baseball game and was a much better show. The display lasted a good 30 minutes and they didn’t hold back at all. Most fireworks displays I’ve seen always start off slow and then let it all hang out at the end. This one was rocking from start to finished. It’s too bad YouTube has a 10 minute time limit.

Well, I’ve also never been to a baseball game, and I find the game very boring even on TV
Reply to this commentAs of fireworks - well, I just hope you enjoyed it enough to wash out the bitter feeling from the baseball game…
Actually I found that TV is much better for sports than going to the actual games
Going to see it in person is about enjoying the atmosphere and not really to see the game as seats usually suck (even the best seats).
Reply to this commentWhat would be exciting would be to see an income report.
Reply to this commentWe are waiting alright.
Reply to this commentWell you can make 30-60k$ with forex every month for few hours a day. That is more exciting
Reply to this commentYou can lose that much too
At least with “making money online”, you can’t really lose other than maybe a couple bucks of hosting and domain name.
Reply to this commentI’m sure you can if you want to dedicate your life to it. A few hours a day…really?
Reply to this commentIt’s really just similar to the stock market. You can make a lot of money easily but also lose a lot if you don’t really know what you are doing.
Reply to this commentIt requires allot of discipline. Let say you are up by 100-400$ after 10-20minutes,and you decide not close it and profit it, you can loose allot of money after 40minutes. It has happen to me.
Reply to this commentWaiting for that one eagerly Alan.
Reply to this commentI think I had a screen saver that did that for a while…. I agree with you baseball couldn’t be more boring or uneventful. You do go for the beer and the ummmm beer.
Reply to this commentI agree with you.. Baseball is boring game..
Reply to this commentMOre about rules and strategy…
That’s why some of baseball player is fat..
Diego is going to hate you too…
Reply to this commentCongratulations Mr. Chow, you’ve just insulted baseball. And because of this, you’ve just lost a subscriber and follower. There are some things you just can’t do, and you’ve just done one of them. Insulting baseball is the equivalent of insulting America, and doing it on July 4th is the worst time. Great!
Reply to this commentWow, I wonder what would happen if I’ve insulted apple pie.
Reply to this commentWhile I don’t share his enthusiasm, I do have to say that it would be wise to be in the same earnings bracket as A-Rod before you go insulting our national game.
If you make a million this year John you’ll be just 2% of the way there… and he’s just one player on one team. Baseball beats blogging by a landslide in popularity, and then you’ve got fantasy baseball… even more popular.
Reply to this commentHmm… Didn’t have the same effect when he insulted Shoe….
Reply to this commentThe fireworks display is awesome. And I don’t think baseball is boring. It’s boring watching it but if you’re playing it, it’s exciting.
Reply to this commentGrats John, you made me laugh out loud. I had to explain to visitors why I suddenly burst out laughing. Good call on baseball. To be fair, every now and then there is an exciting game. But 98% are pretty slow. Best to go with someone you can talk to and chill with while only partially watching the game. (Also helps having front row seats…)
Reply to this commentWhat do you mean baseball isn’t exciting? It’s always exciting to see a fan get hit by a ball.
Reply to this commentYou had horrible seats, John. Or that whole ballpark looks to have a very poor layout.
Reply to this commentI also just noticed Monica has a lower back tattoo, which according to “Wedding Crashers” is a bullseye. I bet she’s wild in bed!
Reply to this commentExcellent observational skills, she’s certainly got that look. Bet she goes.
Reply to this commentGreat fireworks display, described well. I don’t mind sports but am selective watcher, or weekend leisure player. Baseball is not too bad but it’s the reason why we can’t move from inches to planetary metric measurement units, millimeters for those who are uneducated … which in actual fact was also reason why NASA recently crushed new satellite into Mars - they forgot to change from inches when they were too close, too late.
Reply to this commentYou are not American if you don’t like baseball.
Reply to this commentYou got that right.
Reply to this commentIsn’t this the same ball park where Warren Buffett sometimes holds his Annual General Meetings for Berkshire Hatheway? And doesn’t he own the team? And I think he makes a few more bucks than A-Rod.
Reply to this commentI love monica
Reply to this commentYeah, me too.
Reply to this commentChasing women is my favourite sport, by the way.
It always cracks me up when some people get annoyed that there are people that don’t like baseball. I’m from London & there are people who don’t like soccer. You don’t see me crying about it.
Reply to this commentBaseball is a baseless game with a base of boredom.
Reply to this commentJokes apart, the only game which i find exciting is Formula 1.
Well, I like many sports like tennis, football (I mean soccer), basketball..
Reply to this commenti don’t like baseball and never did, what is soo special about it
Reply to this commentIt’s a thinking man’s game. Strategy and positioning change with each pitch. The more you know the more interesting. I guess you don’t know much.
Reply to this commentBaseball is definitely a great game, with lots of intricacies, and I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t go the route of comparing how some people think of baseball to being online, or blogging. Many people think blogging or creating websites is boring, when the truth is that they’re either looking for instant gratification or don’t understand the process enough to know why it’s not boring.
And, of course, baseball was the sport that broke the color line in professional sports, though kicking and screaming, which is another reason why I give it major league props, pun notwithstanding.
Reply to this commentI wouldn’t say it’s the most boring thing ever, but if you aren’t a fan there certainly wouldn’t be anything of interest for you.
Reply to this commentI think for most people, the playoffs are still a little exciting but you really have to be a fan to be interested in the regular games.
Reply to this commentNice fireworks
Reply to this commentI’d rather go to a baseball game any day of the week than sit through another episode of Top Affiliate Challenge. Talk about boring.
Reply to this commentI rather watch paint dry than watching TAC.
Reply to this commentMan more and more i think to go to USA on vacations….i love my home country but USA shure impressions me!
Reply to this commentMy cousins will see me soon!!!
muahahahhahaahhha
I like the american fireworks. They’re so specialy!
Reply to this commentYea, I guess baseball is kind of fun to just sit and watch and drink a beer.
Reply to this commentthank you john for such a good information.
Reply to this commentI love fireworks John!
The Americans know how to entertain at their events. I have never been to a baseball match but I can see how it can get exciting if it is a close game. I have watched it a couple of times on TV.
Reply to this commentThe fireworks looks cool. I myself spent the independence day weekend in Orlando.
Reply to this commentWent to watch fireworks up here in Canada, I have to say they were a tad better than those. And I love the comments about baseball being “the most boring thing to watch”, because its so damn true! Those guys are about as lazy as golfers.
Reply to this comment“Many people like to sit around with a beer in one hand and a beer in the other hand and be bored.”
So long as you aren’t just sitting there with the beers, that is if you’re drinking two beers at the same time, it’s hard to stay bored for too long.
Reply to this commentJohn John John…you should warn viewers that there’s a “flash” in that video…
-Mike
p.s. I don’t think YouTube allows it either.
Reply to this commentWhen does the TAC end?
Reply to this commentJohn,
I just watched your Credit Card tip on TAC, it was a great idea. Problem is I have searched for Adwords vouchers on Google and can’t find anything that is current. Any other help you can provide with this?
Thanks,
Reply to this commentAndy
Great job insulting baseball the only true all-American sport. You just lost the respect of a lot of people me included. I could rail a few choice Canadian sports myself but I’ve got more integrity than that and respect our neighbors to the north. If you can’t show respect for the USA’s greatest sport (especially on the 4th of July) then stay the hell out of the USA!
Reply to this comment1. They play baseball in Canada too.
Reply to this comment2. Baseball IS borning.
Watching a baseball game is like watching paint dry. Only less paint and more criminals.
Reply to this commentI was able to watch a nice fireworks display on Friday, and even on Saturday too!
Reply to this commentI have never really understood the interest in baseball. In the UK young schoolgirls play a similar game, called rounders, and the only difference is that it is a delicate game for little girls!
Reply to this commentOoh fireworks. You forgot the beer again didn’t you!

Reply to this commentAny updates of the TAC?
Reply to this commentI love monica, too…
Reply to this commentI’m willing to bet you’re not very much into sports in general John.
