November 14, 2009 | Contests
Know what it’s fun to do on a lazy weekend day? Leave the house and tell your family you’ll be back later. Maybe. Uhhh, not that I’ve ever done that. Just kidding!
Another thing that’s fun is playing Wii all day. And then if you’re over the age of 14, you won’t be able to move the next day. Not that that’s ever happened to me after a head-to-head bowling competition. Ahem.
What were we talking about? Oh! Right! We were talking about how your family was really wanting to check out Backyard Football 2010 for the Wii, and how you were hoping you could win it from Want Not. Right? I’m here for you.
For a chance to win it, first read the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Monday, November 16th, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and yardage.
Ready? Go!

Sounds fun, the sleepover girls are playing boogie on the wii right now! It’s going to be a long night!
November 14th, 2009 at 10:13 pm

November 14th, 2009 at 10:15 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Wii is the standard go-to in our house when the boys are bickering too much. Football would be great! (Although I hope it wouldn’t involve tackling my poor furniture…)

November 15th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Deja vu for me. I swear earlier today I thought we were in 2010 and now I read this post for a 2010 game so I am back to thinking it is 2010. Oddly enough my 2010 belief stemmed from my Wii warranty that I reviewed today. You are somehow witchy (in a good way).
November 15th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Perfect!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
love me some Wii!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Ohhhhhhhhh, this would be fun!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Love the little characters on those games, never actually played one though! Everytime we think about getting one we always go with something else. I would love to finally try one!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Awesome!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:51 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Would make a great game to go along with the Wii my kids are getting for Christmas!
November 15th, 2009 at 4:30 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
My husband is taking his first vacation all year over Thanksgiving– this would be a fun, care-free way for us to pass the time!
November 15th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
This sounds like a really fun game. I’d love to win it.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I think we’re taking the plunge and buying a Wii for Christmas – the kids have this game on their DS and would love it!
November 15th, 2009 at 7:06 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
My kids are getting a Wii for Christmas!
November 15th, 2009 at 9:11 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I would love to win this for my son. Santa is bringing him a Wii this year and I would love to get him some games for it. So far all he will have is the Wii Sports one that comes with it. Can’t really afford the games. I got a heads up from my aunt saying that she got him one, but no games.
