That gives me an idea....How about a contest?

[Broknbusted]

ChicagoSaintsFan put up a post about a free jersey he was giving away ( an awesome gesture by the way Chicago!) and it inspired me to do something similar but make more of a challenge to give everyone a fair chance so....

With the mods approval, I would like to offer to do the following: The person who guesses the 1st SAINTS player to score during The Hall Of Fame Game will win a prize pack ( contents listed below ). If you think the 1st score will be a TD pass from Brees, then guess who the pass is to and what yardage. Brees TD will not be an acceptable prediction. It must be the receiver you pick! If you think it's Colston via a TD pass, then guess Colston. If you think it will be Ingram via TD run, then put that. Include yardage on your guess. The closest to the correct score and yardage wins. Tie breaker will be what you think the games final score will be. If this works out, I will do more giveaways throughout the season. Anyone who wants to donate items for it, let me know!!!!!

So, your guess should look something like:

Colston via TD pass. 24 yards. Final score Saints win 36-12.

One guess per person and no editing your post once posted! Guesses should be submitted no later then 5:00 PM Eastern time game day.

Please note: This contest is 100% my doing and SaintsReport is in NO WAY obligated in any decisions or prizes in the contest!! Please direct any questions to me.

Prize pack will consist of:
Devery Henderson 2004 RC Sweet Spot Autograph #473/699
Martez Wilson 2011 RC Gridiron Gear Autograph #2/299
Cameron Jordan 2011 RC Leaf Certified Autograph #200/250
Mark Ingram 2100 Rc Bowmen Best Jersey Card
Various other Saints cards from the last few years
Anything else I feel like throwing into the mix!

Here's a pic of the autograph cards:

Brees via TD pass. 32 yards to Jimmy Graham . Final score Saints win 24-13.

[Trey W.]

Mark Ingram behind left guard for 8 yard TD Saints win 27-17

Sorry, missed the final score part.

I'll let you edit this now, because you left out who wins and final score. But I admire your calling it behind the left guard!

[Darth Deuce]

Great idea and gesture, BnB! Cool prizes, too. Would it be far fetched for the mods to sticky this until there is a winner? Maybe sticky each subsequent contest throughout the season?

[RaisingTheBar]

13 yard td run ingram

Saints win 22-12

Thanks and great idea!

[Broknbusted]

By the way...I can't win but my guess is:

Toon 22 yrd TD reception. Saints win 24-7

Mainly because I am dying to see Toon excel!!!!!

[insidejob]

Sproles, 13 yd. touchdown pass.

Saints, 27-13

[EmptyMetaphor]

Malcolm Jenkins 45 yd interception return for a touchdown. 16-7 Saints.

[where yat brah]

How about a $1 per guess. 100% of the proceeds would go to saintsreport.com

[MsMSSaintsFan]

Brees 15 yard TD pass to Graham. 28 - 17 final score.

[bud712]

Ingram 13 yd TD run. Saints lose 27-20

We could do that. The problem with making it a sticky is that people don't see stickies unless they are looking for it (we know this from experience) so you might miss new players. You're better off to bump the thread occasionally than to make it a sticky.

That said, I'll follow the thread and if you guys are set on this, and future contests, being a sticky, I'll be glad to do that.

[Rdanderson91]

Sproles 72 yard punt return. Saints win 27-7
