Sarah Pires Meets Troy Aikman & Goes to the Super Bowl - February 3, 2008
Winner:
spires
Reward Price: Challenge Winner
Member since: July 6, 2007
Sarah Pires made sure her first football game was a good one - escaping from a cold Boston winter to watch her favorite team battle for the championship in sunny Arizona. After besting him in the final round of the Aikman Hold 'Em Challenges, she also spent some time chatting up Troy and talking PROTRADE. The game may not have ended the way she hoped, but the trip was definitely once-in-a-lifetime.

Bob Williams Plays Catch with Ben Roethlisberger - December 27, 2007
Winner:
NYJaysFan36
Reward Price: $700,007
Member since: March 31, 2007
PROTRADER Bob Williams had an empty practice field, a few footballs and Ben Roethlisberger all to himself, so he put on his cleats and went for it. Between catching passes thrown at professional speed to kicking 35-yard field goals, Bob got to experience what life might have been like as an NFL pro.

Reward Price (PT$): $600,080
Member since: October 20, 2006
Some have called it the greatest reward PROTRADE has ever offered, but we'll let you be the judge. We sent two PROTRADERs (Jason Rissler and Jon Adamec) to the Steve Young and Jerry Rice Golf Classic, held at one of the top courses in the country.

They golfed with former 49er TE Brent Jones, rubbed elbows with countless sports celebs and walked away with an unprecedented amount of swag.

Ben Downard plays Madden with Ben Roethlisberger - September 26, 2007
Winner:

Reward Price (PT$): $600,007
Member since: September 27, 2006
Most of us probably aren't likely to beat a star quarterback at his own game. But what if you switch the game? Armed with weeks of practice on his brand new (and free) Xbox, Ben Downard took on Ben Roethlisberger in a friendly game of Madden. Which Ben came out on top? You'll have to watch the video.

Terry Casper goes to Phoenix & meets Eric Byrnes - September 22, 2007
Winner:

Reward Price (PT$): $500,024
Member since: May 11, 2007
Ever wish you could settle down in the dugout, take in a little BP and hang with a star player before the game? Not only did Terry Casper get some one-on-one time with Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes before a September game vs. the Dodgers, but he had the best seats in the house - before and during the game!

Darrin Geist and Steve Nash Shoot-Out - July 21, 2007
Winner:
dmgeist
Reward Price (PT$): $500,000
Member since: December 14, 2005
Imagine 15,000 cheering fans surrounding the court, a bench full of NBA players on their feet and you've got to hit an NBA 3-pointer to bury two-time MVP Steve Nash.

This was the exact situation facing Darrin Geist (aka dmgeist) after going back and forth with Steve Nash in a game of M-V-P. He proceeded to swish a three-ball to send home the Charity Classic host empty handed for the second year in a row! After spending a weekend in Vancouver B.C. mingling with past and present NBA players, it was only fitting that Darrin shoot like a pro as well.

Chris Wright Becomes First User to Redeem a 42" Plasma TV - June 27, 2007
Winner:
cwfoot
Reward Price (PT$): $3,000,000
Member since: September 19, 2005
Nearly every online community has a few members whose knowledge, skill and passion are well known by all other users. On most sites, this usually means gold stars or moderator status. On PROTRADE, it means you will be watching your favorite team play in High Definition on a 42" plasma TV.

In the case of Chris Wright (aka cwfoot), Chiefs and Royals games will be beautifully displayed in the comfort of his own home. In June, 2007, cwfoot became the first user to redeem the reward for a 42" plasma TV, but he certainly won't be the last!

Darren Kitchel Joins PROTRADE at an A's Game - May 30, 2007
Winner:
Where_My_Check
Reward Price (PT$): $300,000
Member since: December 20, 2006
It's always nice to catch a day game of your favorite ballclub, and it's even nicer if PROTRADE picks up the tab to fly you out to California to see them play in a visitor's stadium. Such was the experience for Darren Kitchel (aka Where_My_Check), who joined the PROTRADE staff as the Rangers came to visit the Oakland A's.

While the game may not have gone how he hoped (that Dan Haren is pretty good), Darren kicked back with PROTRADE to share ideas and enjoy a day at the ballpark.

Robert Dicara and Derrek Lee Play Catch & Grab Lunch - April 23, 2007
Winner:
Rocko
Reward Price (PT$): $575,000
Member since: February 28, 2006
Ever wondered what baseball players do during the day before a night game? On one Monday in April, Cubs star Derrek Lee was playing catch in the park with PROTRADE's own Robert Dicara (aka Rocko) before grabbing a bite to eat with Rocko and heading back to Wrigley for a late night at the office.

Just 12 hours after sitting a dozen rows away from D-Lee at Wrigley Field, Rocko was sitting shotgun in Derrek's Range Rover on the way to lunch in downtown Chicago. Count Rocko in as the latest addition to those who bleed Cubbie blue!

Joe McCarthy Hangs With Troy Aikman & Attends the Super Bowl - February 4, 2007
Winner:
jdmcca
Reward Price (PT$): Challenge Winner
Member since: July 28, 2006
Usually fans get ready for the Superbowl with a group of friends, some cold drinks and a few snacks. Joe McCarthy (aka jdmcca) spent his afternoon chatting with Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman before attending the game in person.

Leaving behind the 13-below weather in Denver, Joe and his wife spent the weekend living it up in Miami while getting to know a three-time Superbowl winner. As an added bonus, they got to see a first hand account of a legend in the making - Peyton Manning - take home his first Superbowl ring.

Chris Barney faces off against Steve Nash - July 21, 2006
Winner:
Ghetto33ckb
Reward Price (PT$): Challenge Winner
Member since: November 8, 2005
We'll admit it... we didn't think anyone would be able to beat Steve Nash in a shooting contest. And sure, maybe the game of H-O-R-S-E has a few different rules north of the border, but that didn't stop Chris Barney (aka Ghetto33ckb) from going toe-to-toe with the best point guard in the game.

With Steve Nash on the ropes, Chris matched Nash's 3-pointer and then knocked down a trey of his own to take the M-V-P challenge on Steve's home court.
