Get A Free Copy Of The Book Stumbling On Wins
Apr 12, 2010 Contests
One of the cool things about running a blog is that you occasionally get the pleasure of having advanced copies of books sent to you to check out. In this case, the book is Stumbling on Wins, the new book by Dave Berri and Martin Schmidt, authors of a book I reference a lot on this site: The Wages of Wins. So why am I telling you about this? Well, in addition to the copy that was sent to me, there were a couple copies to give away. So what better way to give these a copy away than to have a contest where you need to answer some stat related questions?
Here are the rules. I am going to ask 4 questions, and you can submit the answers in the comments (make sure you are using your correct e-mail address, because this is how I will be getting in contact with the winners). When you submit your answers you automatically get one entry, and for every question you get right, you get an additional entry.
So let’s say you get 3 questions right. You will have 4 entries in the drawing (the most you can get is 6). I will accept entries until 9:00 AM (48 hours) Wednesday morning, and will announce the winners around 10. Hopefully, if everything works out I will get the books out to the winners that day. Questions after the jump:

Fan On The Couch Ticket Giveaway – 10 Winners
Jan 14, 2010 Contests, Tony Maglio
Tony Maglio been blessing us with his great comedy for a couple weeks, now, he is going to bless you guys with something else. Tony has offered up 20 lower level tickets (that’s all we know about them right now), and all you have to do is e-mail him a question for his upcoming Fan On The Couch mailbag that he will have this week.
Your questions don’t have to be about Nets’ basketball either. It could be sports related, entertainment, politics, whatever and if your question is one of the 10 Tony picks, you win two tickets to see the Nets play the Pacers Friday. Also make sure you include your name and your phone number in the e-mail, so Tony can notify Will-Call of who will be picking up the tickets. The winners will be e-mailed at 2, and we will have a post announcing the winners. Remember Mark’s Tony’s e-mail is Tony.Maglio@NetsAreScorching.com. Good luck guys, and a big thanks goes out to Tony for offering these tickets up.

More Trivia!
Oct 20, 2009 2009-2010 Preseason, Contests, Prudential Center
With another game at the Prudential Center coming up tomorrow, we have another 4 tickets to the game against the Knicks that we will be giving away today. Same rules apply as last time, the first person to e-mail us the correct answer over to contests@netsarescorching.com wins 2 tickets. To be fair, the two winners from last time won’t be eligible to win again this time. Later in the day we will be running another question. For now, here is question number 1:
What New Jersey Net replaced Karl Malone, on the 2003 American Olympic Qualifying Team?
Have at it guys, and from what last winners told us these are pretty good seats. So use that for some motivation.

He gets two tickets to the Nets game vs. the Celtics at The Rock. Congrats man, and for those who didn’t win, we will be doing this on the 20th, before the Nets next game in Newark so pay attention…
