Adam Ostrow, from Mashable, put together a fantasy football league with various people from the social media crowd. I guess they all like to lose, since I was invited.
Regardless, the league will be fun and I’ll update everyone on how things are going, along with standings, etc. The reason why this is interesting is that we are all playing for charity, where the winner has all the proceeds donated to the charity of their choice.
For my part, I’m dishing out an ass kicking on behalf of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation based in Annapolis.
Charities represented:
- Mallory Dash – National Partnership for Women and Families
- Chris Lucas – Nothing but Nets
- Meg Fowler – Jane Doe, Inc.
- Micah Baldwin – Donors Choose
- Adam Ostrow – The National Alliance for Autism Research
- Leslie Poston – Jane Doe, Inc.
- Michael Davis – Cancer for College
- Jonathan Joseph – American Cancer Society
- Jeff Smith – Boy Scouts of America
- Me – Chesapeake Bay Foundation
I’m still sorting out other players and their charities and will update accordingly.
The draft is tonight. Contestants, who wants to livestream the draft screen over ustream?
