Well, the promotion has come to an end. It was a great 11 weeks with each and every one of you. I am thankful that I got to give away a ton of great and unique prizes to several people.

The first business to handle is the winner of the special Thanksgiving edition contest for the games on Thanksgiving. It was a hard fought contest with some close scores but here is that leaderboard:

Matt G. – 8

Shane K. – 8 (Tiebreaker Winner!)

Jay R. – 7

Edwin G. – 7

Patrick P. – 6

Weirdmaniac – 5

KJ L. – 5

Harley E. – 4

Evan – 4

Madison V. – 3

RJ R. – 0

The next order of business is the winner for the week…here is the leaderboard, some scores were absolutely astonishing. I wanted people to play to their strengths to try and catch others and boy did they.

Michael G. – 19

Evan – 17

Weirdmaniac – 14

Edwin G. – 13

Harley E. – 8

RJ R. – 7

Patrick P. – 7

KJ L. – 7

Matt G. – 4

Shane K. – 2

So we need to combine those all together and announce the monthly winner for November and also the grand prize winner….

The monthly winner of the box of 2011 Panini Threads football is…..

With a slim two point win over Evan….Edwin G.! Evan had a great charge this week but just came up short by the slimmest of margins. I don’t know what I would have done if this was tied for the month!

And finally, the grand prize winner, who almost lost it all after missing the Thanksgiving contest is obviously Michael G. He has put together a great overall promotion scores and deserves the win. With RJ R. and Edwin G. close by on several occasions, he has fended them off to victory.

I’m sure those who haven’t won anything are waiting to hear if they won one of the three bonus handmade Panini packs…well here are your Panini pack winners.

Weirdmaniac

Matt G.

RJ R.

Thank you all. As a thank you, I may have something coming up in a couple of days, just need to check on the status of a certain package. Until then, thank you all!

The Thanksgiving edition is here just for those games that we play on turkey day. We have 3 great games playing on this American holiday:

Packers @ Lions

Dolphins @ Cowboys

49ers @ Ravens

Tiebreaker: Total number of rushing yards for all 3 games.

Well maybe two of the three of them will be good. The Dolphins have been playing better in recent weeks so let’s hope that ends up as a solid game.

Anyway, this Thanksgiving edition is simple. You guess the winners and the total number of points for each game. You will get 2 points for each team correctly picked to win as bonus points towards the overall and monthly leaderboards. If you are within 7 points of the correct total number of points, you will get a bonus point. The tiebreaker will determine the winner.

The winner will receive a set of the NFL Player of the Day Rookie Review cards along with a pre-made pack of Panini cards, including an auto or game used card. (I haven’t made the prize yet)

So don’t forget to enter before you eat your turkey and make sure you visit the official NFL Player of the Day site as this promotion is coming to an end soon.
