Win $5,000 Playing Facebook’s Premier NFL Football Application – 10

Yo! Have you checked out the Thesis Theme yet? I’d love to explain how optimized, detailed, and easily-customizable Thesis is, but honestly, I know that you’re going to benefit the most from the amazing community of theme users. Smart people offering up tailored solutions to common theme problems? Now that’s serious value.

$5000 prizeThe NFL season is only two weeks away, and the action at Pro Pigskin Pick’em is really heating up! With over 580 users, the application is poised to “go platinum” this week, so I figure now is the perfect time to raise the stakes.

And what better way to do that than by giving away a wheelbarrow full of money, right?

This season’s grand prize is $5,000 in cold, hard cash, and if you want to win, you’ve gotta out-pick everyone else on Facebook. Think you’ve got what it takes? Somebody does, and they’re gonna go home with the booty.

Oh, and lest I forget, there are weekly prizes, too! If you’re the top scorer on Facebook for a particular week (there are 17 of ‘em!), then you’ll get a nice prize for that as well.

I am currently in talks with third parties about weekly and seasonal sponsorship. The grand prize for the season will only increase if I reach a solid sponsorship deal, and the weekly prizes will be determined by the sponsor. At this time, I’m aiming for prizes with an approximate value of at least $100 (or more if the sponsor allows it).

Doh! I’m not in facebook. I’m now only 18. Maybe I should join soon. Maybe this is one reason for me to join now.

This sounds awesome. I’ll have to check this out since I’m on Facebook.

Seems there’s an error on facebook at the Home page,

Warning: array_push() [function.array-push]: First argument should be an array in /home/gtfbfan/public_html/app/fb_functions.php on line 470

May want to fix that up.

Woops, sorry, I meant the Scoreboard page, not the home page.

Jonathan — Do you have any friends on Facebook yet, or are you flying solo? From what I can tell, that error is only possible if you don’t have any friends :)

At any rate, I changed the code in an attempt to solve the problem. Please let me know if it works!

Thanks!

This site’s design is strikingly similar to your site.. http://www.xpird.com/

Same inspiration.. or have you released this theme as well..

#Chris P.  at 12:36 pm on Oct 19, 2007

Ron — It’s obvious to me that whoever runs that site blatantly ripped me off. I’d be more upset, but this has happened so many times before that it’s become a joke.

Maybe you should release this theme :)

More seriously, I miss posts from you! Hopefully lack of posts means business is really good for you. Great stuff in the archives though :)

How can people like us living in the Asian countries take part in this?
