Happy Holidays to everyone and as always, good luck in this week’s Beat the Blogger contest.
This week’s matchups will be posted on Tuesday a.m.
While the Blogger’s score of 7 correct made many eligible to Beat the Blogger,
it was Ronald Borzyk’s score of 9 (and tiebreaker) 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 Tuesday 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 b
e
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.

I have heard more stories about this book and its effect on anyone who reads it than any other baseball book ever written.
Penned in 2009, ‘Heart Of The Game’ tells the story of Mike Coolbaugh and his sudden death on the baseball field after being hit in the head with a foul ball. Coolbaugh, a father of two with another [...]

Today Sports Card Info turns two years old. Two years ago today I started Sports Card Info over on Blogger, but for some crazy reason Google shut me down because they thought I was spam. I originally started SCI because I wanted to link from the Beckett Message Boards to some of the guides I [...]

What can I say? Actually quite a bit…
I have never gotten into my passion for the 1975 Reds ‘Big Red Machine’. That will change in 2010 as I plan to make that team a focus of my collecting and blogging during the upcoming year.
Getting this book was a start, and I have so much still [...]

On September 30th this year, the Carolina Hurricanes signed Cam Ward to a 6 year extension worth $37.5 million. On the surface it seemed like a great deal. The Canes got the franchise goaltender that essentially won them the Stanley Cup and took them to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. His stats over the past three [...]
