Team Classic dominates the first week of Lombard Cup

2012
  LOMBARD CUP


Team                                                                        Team
Classic    4 points                                                    Modern 1 point
                                 
Five matches. Four wins by Team Classic. The classic era of actors are off to a 4-1 point advantage over their modern counterparts. In match 1, Steve McQueen beat Clint Eastwood 20-11, gaining 64% of all votes. In match 2, Spencer Tracy topped Tom Cruise 22-10. Team Modern picked up their only win and point when Harrison Ford beat James Cagney 18-14. Ford was down the first two days but rallied to tie Cagney on Wednesday and then pull away today. In match 4, the marquee match-up, which was anything but as Cary Grant steamrolled Johnny Depp 29-6 for 82% of the vote. Surprisingly that was not the largest margin of victory. That took place in match 5 as Clark Gable just decimated Daniel Day Lewis 28-5 for an 84% share of the votes. I want to think everyone who voted for this first week of Lombard Cup action and I will post the match ups for week 2 by Saturday. And then those matches will kick off Sunday evening. 

MATCH 1 STEVE MCQUEEN 20 CLINT EASTWOOD 11
MATCH 2 SPENCER TRACY 22 TOM CRUISE 10
MATCH 3 HARRISON FORD 18 JAMES CAGNEY 14
MATCH 4 CARY GRANT 29 JOHNNY DEPP 6
MATCH 5 CLARK GABLE 28 DANIEL DAY LEWIS 5

All smiles for the Gables as Clark won his match quite easily!

Sorry, but according to this gal, Harrison Ford cannot hold a candle to Jimmy Cagney. There is no way he should have beaten him!! Yes, I'm "Team Classic" all the way, but beyond that, James Cagney is one of my favorite actors of all time. Quite honestly, I think he may be the best actor who has ever lived...can't believe Harrison Ford beat him in this round!! (Not that I think you've fudging the results...just can't believe the votes went that way.)
