I was on my way to the post office this morning to mail yesterday’s Amazon sales, when I realized that I needed some 600 count boxes for the mailing the trades I am preparing.  Luckily, just around the corner from the post office is my local car…

Beat the Blogger Picks

on January 21st, 2010 by Tuff Stuff

Congratulations to Christie Merkel, who scored a 9 this week to Beat the Blogger’s
total of 6 and beat the field to win this week’s contest.

This week’s matchups are posted soon so make sure you get your picks posted before
the start of the first game to be eligible to a win.

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
later today so make sure you check back and 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.
