And The Winners are.......
Let me tell you that picking six winners for The Ultimate Pistons Fan Ticket Contest was a harder task than I anticipated. I myself am a huge Pistons fan, but I have never claimed to be the "Ultimate Fan," so when I put the call out for them I didn't really realize that Team Need4Sheed was really going to go all out. And they did....
Before I tell you who the winners are I would just like to let everyone know that I considered everyone's entries and at one point or another in my decision making process each and every person had a shot at these tickets. Yes there were a few clear cut yes's in the bunch, but for the most part every single one on the entries were ticket worthy, well except the one that said...."I want the tickets bad, give em to me!"
Here they are:
Now I have heard rumblings of this story, but honestly I thought it was just an urban legend. It's been floating around Pistons circles for a while now that someone actually re-created a bit of the Pistons famous introductions during their wedding reception. Don't believe it... I didn't until I watched Ryan Fleming's video.
Hats off to Ryan and his wife, that's dedication.
If you remember the video I made to promote the contest we made a reference to baking a Sheed cake. Now that was just a funny off the cuff remark that Mike D. blurted out during taping that we loved and decided to keep in. Little did I know that Francesca Falchieri would actually get the mixer out and make this wonderful bit of goodness.
From what Francesca told me the hair and headband are made of licorice and the mouth is filled with coconut. Time consuming and creative, two tickets for you Francesca.
So that's it, those are the big winners who will join me at the Palace February 6th to watch The Pistons take on The Miami Heat. I will contact the winners with the exact details as soon as they are made available to me by The Pistons. A Palace tour, a suite to watch the game, a little extra surprise from me and the company of some die hard Pistons fans. Now that's SHEEDtastic!
Special Thanks go out to The Pistons Organization for making this possible.

Jess, your poem was just fantastic. You have no Idea just how close you were. I'm Sorry :(
Nat, are you going to show what the other winners enteries were?
Thats alright. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!
yeah congrats everyone!
but wouldn't it be great if, perhaps, someone were to mention to the Pistons Organization about how there were so many other swell entries and, oh i dunno, persuaded them to give you some more tickets to give to some other people who entered the contest. but of course, this is just a thought that crossed my mind...coughhintcough
:)

Thank you so much Natalie. I am so excited. I have yet to break it to my friend who I am taking. He's gonna go crazy. Can't wait to see you in 8 days or so!

Omg, the wedding, lol. That was hilarious. I love the cake! It's adorable. Congratulations everyone!
Yessssss!!! Wow Natalie! Thank you so much you are awesome! Me and the wife will be there. Cant wait!
wow. Ryan's wedding is true dedication right there. I'm surprised the bride didn't have on a Pistons-themed gown. That would have been way cool too.
Congratulations everybody!

and they won because.......??
they dont even know what number jason maxiell and antonio mcdyess are...get it right girls
and theyve only been pistons fans for three years???
Ryan Fleming he was AMAZING that was so cool. I would have never even thought of that. That deserves those tickets. Me and him have something in common my dog as a Piston jersey on right now. Her name is also Piston. Congrats to everyone the cake looked great
so what if theyve only been pistons fans for three years. They're only 16.
they dont know much about pistons obviously.. and they won the tickets?
MAX=54
DYESS=24
Wow, Pistons fans since, O wow what a coincidince, since they won the championship! Bandwagoners.
Wow, Pistons fans since, O wow what a coincidince, since they won the championship! Bandwagoners.
jealous, much?
your damn right i am.. i deserved those tickets. not 2 16 year old girls who dont know shit about the pistons.
wow, such sore losers.
Are you sure you weren't trying to win Cavs tickets?
The Pistons didn't win 3 years ago. They lost to the Spurs, so these girls weren't just jumping on the bandwagon...
They obviously enjoy watching the pistons or they wouldn't have bother to make the video to win the tickets
sore loser i am. cav fan... hell nooooo! i wanted those tickets sooo damn bad
It's clearly obvious that the girls just switched the pictures accidentally. I think they did a great job. I was in the running for the tickets and they smoked me. Great job and have a good time.
It was the creativity of the vid that put them over the top IMO
It was quirky and creative and... Who cares what they actually know about the Pistons. They're young and they will hopefully be life long fans. It's odvious they're big time hooked on the Pistons!
Great job Girls!
Sheed Cake a Classic! I hope to god Sheed sees this.
Wow. I was going to put in a entry, but I never got around to do it. *Shrugs softly* Oh well, ^,^ That's what I get for procrastinating! XD
Ryan Fleming... Wobule O Wobule! XD I wonder how much persuading did it take for your wife and friends to have the 'Mason-Effect' for your wedding reception. I kiss the ground you walk on for that showing of Piston Pride. *Kiss Kiss Kiss*
Francesca... *Chuckles* When Mike said make a Sheed cake, I chuckled... I had a felling somebody was going to do it, but I was just saying...but I love how you hoped right on it! *High five and runs with Sheed's nose* MINE!
I didn't enter the contest. I don't live in the state.
I will say this...
the people won because Natalie enjoyed their stuff and effort, but...
those girls were awful, yes, they're bandwagoners--10 years from now, they won't be following the Pistons. Also, I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but it was an awful video, the editing was hideous and the sound was jerky and I couldn't get through 3 minutes of the video. It wasn't funny, it didn't even seem like Saturday Night Live, I didn't understand what was going on and was bored about 20 seconds into the first "skit?"
As for Ryan, that blanket was sweet, but having a couple autographed pics of automotion and a pistons garbage can doesn't make someone the ultimate fan (i didnt see the entries tho). My memoribilila could fill a whole house probably. Regardless, what I'm saying is, I had season tickets for years, over 40 bobbleheads, tons of odds and ends and about 30 pistons jerseys warmups and so much more--most of it I had to leave in michigan. Though my point is, with all of that, doing that at the wedding, that's not being a superfan, that's being tacky---very tacky, keep that stuff out of the wedding day, but who am I to judge?
No, I'm not trying to hate, it's cool that you all won, but I just felt the need to say some things that a lot of the posters either wanted to say, or may have been thinking--and if not, then I said what I was thinking.
Congrats to you all, enjoy the game. Go Pistons!
C-Webb is offically with the Warriors. They said he might play Friday night as Charlotte. I have courtside seats to that game. I really don't know I feel about about C-Webb signing with the Warriors. Part of me is kind of sad because it would have been nice to see him get the "ship" with the Pistons and mend his past with the people of Michigan for the crazy shit he did in college. There is another part of me that is glad he isn't with us. All I have to do is watch the Cleveland series. Anyone want to chime in on this?
Uyen, don't be upset that CWebb is not with the Pistons anymore. Personally, I feel that he lacks the energy that this team needs. Plus, we're trying to go younger, not older. I wish the best of luck to CWebb and all, but I like the team we have now.
hey everybody!
Can somebody please tell me the name of song which is played on nba.com/pistons intro clip?
John
i agree, uyen.
regardless of what happened last year.
i still have love for c-webb.
europe - final countdown.

oh NBA.COM intro, not pistons game intro... duh.
I was just thinking about playoffs, as in, if they started today and all the higher ranks went through to the end...
East:
(1)Bos vs (8)Ind - (4)Cle vs (5)Tor
Figure Bos vs. Cle, prolly Bos pulls through.
(2)Det vs (7)Atl - (3)Orl vs (6)Was
Figure Det vs. Orl, and we got that on lock.
Det vs. Bos, and of course, Det wins cause we're sweet like that.
The west is a little more complicated, but by my best guess, it'll be Utah and Phoenix, SA being upset in the first round by Utah with a late season surge carrying over to the playoffs. Phoenix finally beats someone in the late rounds and maybe Detroit plays Phoenix in the finals?
The two 16 year old girls won fair and square. Their video was creative and just funny to watch. The intro was great too. I bet they put many hours into making that video. So, you can cry some more on how you didn’t win tickets because obviously they didn’t like your video. So they messed up a few numbers, and you must of have messed up a lot more because I don’t see your name on the winners list. You go girls!! Have fun at the game!
Jacob, buying more merchandice of your favorite team does not make you a bigger fan period, there is no actually way to prove who a bigger fan is, the more merchandice you have proves that you have more money than other fans, nothing else.

i didnt do a video thank you very much.
so if you didnt make a video or enter the contest...then why do you even care? so you make fun of 16 year old girls who were trying to have some fun! do us all a favor and do soemthing more productive then making fun of people!
I can't stand how much rasheed complains about EVERYTHING...I really like Hamilton and Prince though. I think the Pistons are a really solid team.
Thanks outside.the.nba! I really appreciate it! ;)
