on December 23rd, 2009 by JT

He’s actually already hit our house as we celebrated with the kids last Saturday.

Wii, Mario Kart, Ghostbusters, and Super [...]

2009 Score Football

on December 23rd, 2009 by Laurens

Being a baseball guy, I actively ignore other sports cards, because it is more simpler to focus on one sport – impulsively, I guess I’d grab cheap base cards of stars from other sports as well as a few of the most cheapest packs [maybe a dollar each] o…

Although Topps will be the exclusive MLB sports card of 2010, they don’t have exclusive rights to the MLBPA. Didn’t stop them from signing an exclusive agreement with one of the phenoms of this generation.

Beat the Blogger Matchups

on December 23rd, 2009 by Tuff Stuff

Happy Holidays to everyone and as always, good luck in this week’s Beat the Blogger contest.
This week’s matchups are posted below.

While the Blogger’s score of 4 correct made many eligible to Beat the Blogger,
it was Lance Greathouse’s score of 9 that took home the prize on a week full
of upsets. Thanks to all that played and thanks for recruiting some newcomers as well.
Let’s try and do the same this week and get a record turnout and with this week’s
winner being a first-timer, it just shows how easy it is to Beat the Blogger and
win.

With the number of weekly participants slipping a bit the last few weeks I’m making
a call to action to all of our regulars to do some recruiting. While more people
means more work for the Blogger and more people for the Blogger to go up against,
I welcome the challenge and offer this challenge to you: If each player can recruit
10 new players and we can boost the total to 200 or more, I’ll triple the weekly prize
.
So spread the word about the contest to all your co-workers, family and friends
and meet that goal and boost the prize.

Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends so they can be a part of the action, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/

This week’s winners are posted below and this week’s matchups will be posted
on Wednesday a.m. so make sure you get your picks posted before the start of the first
game to be eligible to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck.

While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants
will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now bcontest.jpge
asked to predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to
the actual score will be deemed the winner
). I’ll also require contestants
to post their e-mail address
with their picks so I can track down the winners
easier.

For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section
below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners
. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total
and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson
, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter
and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.


This week’s matchups
(with Blogger picks in parenthesis)
Sunday, Dec. 28
NFL Football
Buffalo at Atlanta (Atlanta)
Oakland at Cleveland (Oakland)
Baltimore at Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh)
Houston at Miami (Houston)
Jacksonville at New England (New England)
