So Easy We’re Making It Bigger: Win $500 Murdering Me At Fantasy Football

12.16.11 Written by Brandon

Here’s a picture of Houston Texans quarterback T.J. Yates and tight end Owen Daniels hugging each other in celebration of being drafted to my terrible Draftstreet fantasy football team.

You should be hugging, too, because this week’s contest — a 50-person cash game for $11 that gives you a chance to win money from a $500 dollar cash pool and gives $5 to anyone who places higher than me — proved so popular that they’re adding 50 more players to the mix. So here’s your chance: sign up now for a fun game and some of the easiest cash opportunities you’ve ever had. Seriously, I am bad at this. Last time I drafted Hakeem Olajuwon.

There are two concurrent games of 50 players going on this weekend with me lingering near the bottom of both, so if you missed the first one, sign up quick-like and get into this one. It all goes down THIS WEEKEND, so don’t delay.

The Easiest $500 You’ll Ever Win: Beat Brandon In Draftstreet Fantasy Football

12.13.11 Written by Brandon

I’m cheating this time. I’m going the Tebow route, and I’m going to read my Bible and finish first place in fantasy football with Draftstreet.

Of course, that’s not going to happen (the me winning part, at least), and that’s where you come on. Instead of a freeroll this month, With Leather has organized a cash game. The first 50 people who drop $11 dollars to play get a chance to win money from a $500 dollar cash pool, and here’s the best part: every single person who finishes higher than me wins $5.

That’s easy money, folks. I drafted Brett Favre last time. I’m not very good at this. Hell, they asked me for a picture to use and I didn’t have anything “football” to wear in it. You’re going to murder me, and worst case scenario you’ll have fun playing and be out six bucks.

CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE LEAGUE. (I’m already in last place.)

Last Call For This Weekend’s Free Fantasy Football, Play And Win $250

11.11.11 Written by Brandon

free fantasy football

My team is set. As promised, I drafted Aaron Rodgers, all 21-k-plus of him, and I’m hoping he’s enough of an undercover secret for me to gain the advantage and win our weekend’s free fantasy football game through Draftstreet. If not, at least I can know I associated his performance with this sad looking dog in a cheesehead, and that is something.

If you haven’t signed up to play yet, I’m urging you to do so now. Even the Hanna Barbera character in charge of the KSK Sex & Fantasy Football Mailbag is going to play, and that guy’s a paid fantasy football professional. How awesome would it be to beat him at this? Slightly more prestigious than beating me, a guy who thinks Aaron Rodgers is underground.

The game happens this weekend, and it’s going to work a lot like our baseball games; you’ll sign up (for free, again, I’m not going to make you pay for anything) and pick your team, choosing two QBs, two WR, two RB and so on until you’ve exhausted your salary cap, and the team with the best performance in this Sunday’s games wins money. So do the next five top teams. That’s right, we’re paying out to the top 6 teams from a $250 cash pool.

And like I said before, I’m playing, Burnsy’s playing, Matt’s playing, Cajun’s playing. Everybody’s playing, and so should you. It only takes a moment, it’s totally free, it could win you legitimate cash money and you become my friend in real life. How can you lose?

Well, you could put a cheese hat on your dog, but other than that.

Now Even Football Puppies Want You To Win $250 Playing Free Fantasy Football

11.10.11 Written by Brandon

football-english-bulldogIf the Kate Upton and NFL cheerleader pictures haven’t gotten you to sign up for our free fantasy football weekend game with Draftstreet, I’m taking the next step in shilling: pictures of English bulldog puppies wearing football jerseys. Look at the look on his face … he just can’t understand why you haven’t signed up for this yet.

The game happens this weekend, and it’s going to work a lot like our baseball games; you’ll sign up (for free, again, I’m not going to make you pay for anything) and pick your team, choosing two QBs, two WR, two RB and so on until you’ve exhausted your salary cap, and the team with the best performance in this Sunday’s games wins money. So do the next five top teams. That’s right, we’re paying out to the top 6 teams from a $250 cash pool.

Almost everyone at the UPROXX network is playing. Me and Burnsy are playing. I just said f**k it this time and drafted Aaron Rodgers. With Leather founder and Alison Harvard-hater Matt Ufford is playing. Uproxx dot com’s Cajun Boy is playing. So are most (but not all) of the fictional persons and things at Kissing Suzy Kolber. If you play — and remember, playing gives you a shot to win money from that $250 by doing almost literally nothing — you get to say you beat us all at the most important thing in the world. Fantasy football.

And for the last time, here’s the link. Come on, be a pal.
