Make your picks: NFL Gridiron section set to debut
The NFL season is fast approaching and with it comes a new weekly section to the 蘑菇视频.
The NFL Gridiron debuts in Friday蘑菇视频 edition and will include NFL news and our new Pig Skin Picks Contest. The section will run every Friday through the Super Bowl.
Participating advertisers will make up the Gridiron Gang and will compete against each other, along with myself, by picking each NFL game that week.
We all know who蘑菇视频 going to come out on top in that battle, now don鈥檛 we? I鈥檓 installing myself as the early, very heavy favorite.
Which leads me to the Smack Talk page of the section that will include all of those picks, so you at home can follow along.
You at home can also play along by filling out and then sending in or dropping off a Pigskin Picks form which will be included in the section each week. Although just a heads up 鈥� I鈥檓 counting on beating just about every one of you every week as well.
Even if you can鈥檛 beat me, if you beat just about everyone else and finish in the top three in correct picks, you鈥檒l win First Down Dollars ($25 for first place, $20 for second and $15 for third) which can be spent at participating advertisers鈥� businesses.
Make sure you fill out the tiebreaker part of the form (total points scored in that week蘑菇视频 Monday Nigh Football game) to help break any deadlocks.
Get your entries in to the 蘑菇视频 by the close of that Thursday蘑菇视频 business day to be eligible.
The contest is for a good cause, too. Whichever advertiser has racked up the most winning picks by the end of the Super Bowl (or, well, whoever finishes second to me) will receive a $250 check to be presented to the charity of their choice.
If you love the NFL but are not a fan of contests, The NFL Gridiron is for you also. It鈥檒l be filled with an abundance of NFL news and statistics to keep you up to date on the ongoing football season.
