SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #437 PICK'EM
BONUS WINNERSThanks Anna for posting the Final Score and recapping which of our experts selected the right team tonight (grumble, grumble, grumble)
As she noted, 13 very smart people will share the pool
But now, the bonus winners...
It was a hard job picking the bonus winners
I've been reviewing them all day. Everybody really deserves a reward because every response met the criteria for Pick'em
We were pleased with the results. But unfortunately, WRZ$ don't grow on trees (or do they), so we had to narrow it down. Now normally, we would select the 7 best, but have been rewarding more due to the strong response. However, the number of comments posted has fallen again, so back to 7 awards for now.
Here are our 7 WinnersI will admit that after reading all the entries, I think people are really capturing the true Pick'em Spirit
Right but Wrong While Pup made the right pick, I question the assumption that a canuck is an animal =
SebHusPup "I’m always on animals’ side"
Best Research but was wrong While Angel Sardar has had a lock on this category, and did do her normal excellent job this time, bookworm's post was actually more relevant to whether the Hawks would win or not. Plus, I can't let Angel win all the time
=
bookworm28 with "The Chicago Blackhawks are making a spirited run for a postseason berth as they've recorded five consecutive victories after dropping four of five contests."
Say this three times really fast This one made me laugh =
shelleyann01 with "Because Chick a go sounds better than Van Coo Ver"
As good a reason as any Sounds good to me =
hija "Because, when I was in the metro today, there was a advertisement for Chicago (the musical)"
Took me a minute At first, I had no clue... but then I remembered The SNL skits =
vs9 with "because matt foley lived in a van down by the river"
Local Knowledge True dat... and appropriate for this holiday weekend =
accountant1usa with "Where else on earth is there a city that would turn an entire river GREEN for a holiday! Go CHICAGO!"
And finally
OUR GRAND CHAMPIONHere is a classic example of what Pick'em is all about..
Circular Logic All I can say is Huh? =
irathomas with "I don't have a reason hopefully that is a good enough reason."
Now THAT is the SPIRIT!
All 7 winners will receive a 25 WRZ$ bonus
Thanks to all for playing. More
