" Oh man, if I can remember to play every week I might have a chance. Last year I kinda got so caught up in my fantasy leagues that I forgot about this one a couple weeks and that killed my percentage.

Bring it on !!! :) "

" Raiderrob:
Aw hell, that's what this gift certificate in my desk is for. Damn I have it and didn't know why.... Come in after the 3-day weekend and get it from me.
So far, folks, no sponsor has stepped up so as of now no weekly prizes, but we're trying.
Do you know of a business that would offer a prize once a week for the weekly winner?
e-mail me at dross@napanews.com if you do, or if you are the business owner who would to this, receiving your business featured prominently on all promotional materials all season long.

" Doc's Trophy Shoppe in Napa is giving out a trophy for the Regular Season winner, the Overall Winner and the Survivor Game winner.
Thanks, Jim and Angela Barner for making this available to the players.

Are there businesses willing to give us a prize for one or more weeks for the winner of that particular week? Maybe an online gift certificate for something at your business?
contact me at dross@napanews.com, just like the Barners did, and you'll be included in all the publicity online and in print for the NFL Challenge.
