Fantasy Football 2008 Trivia Contest
The trivia contest is now over and we have selected our eight players for the season. Watch the season unfold here on the official Fantasy Football page.
On September 4, the NFL kicks off another season of pigskin action and that means Alice in Chains will kick off their second season of Fantasy Football. This league will see eight lucky fans pit their football knowledge (and luck) against the expertise of Jerry and Mike.
Entrance into the league is simple – we’ve selected five notorious one-liners from famous football movies and want you to guess who said it from what movie. Identify the title of the movie and name of the character that is quoted and on Tuesday, August 19 we will randomly draw eight winners from the correct entries. All entries must be emailed to help@aliceinchains.com. Please include your AliceInChains.com username as well.
Entrants will have their email addresses added to the official mailing list for the AliceInChains.com newsletter known as 'Dirt'. Entries will be received until Monday, August 18 at 11:59pm EST.
- Well, on uh, Fake Draw Screen Right I uh, pick up the linebacker if he's comin, 'less of course it's Butkus, then I simply notify the quarterback to send for a preacher.
- Freud says that guns are an extension of your dick, Jo Bob.
- I think I broke his fucking neck!
- That's what a leader's about: sacrifice. The times he's gotta sacrifice because he's gotta lead, by example. Not by fear and not by self-pity.
- Gentlemen, the hopes and dreams of an entire town are riding on your shoulders. You may never matter again in your life as much as you do right now
This years grand prize will be a Jerry Cantrell Signature G&L guitar, set to debut at the 2009 Winter NAMM show. Two Runner-ups will receive an autographed football signed by the band. All participants of the AIC FLL will receive an exclusive AIC FFL T-Shirt.
Returning this year to moderate the league will be The Commish. The Commish recommends that if you are going to enter you should familiarize yourself with the ESPN fantasy site, participate in "mock drafts", read fantasy league rules and understand scoring. You should also know and understand football and have some knowledge of NFL players. AIC FFL participants must be able to manage and play their team EVERY week for 17 weeks, and finish out the season on December 28, you are in it for the long haul as the season starts Thursday, September 4.
For further details and discussion, check out the 2008 AiC FFL thread here.
Winners will be notified Tuesday, August 19 via email.
Jerry Cantrell's Closet Auction for Charity
Our first-ever Jerry Cantrell Closet Auction is now closed. The auction ran for 10 days, starting on November 5, and raised a total of $5686.26 for MusiCares and the Layne Staley Fund. We want to say a huge “thank you” to the great people who helped us raise all that money for those two important charities. If you’re wondering what items from Jerry’s closet those lucky bidders now own, check out our special auction page.
While your chance to take home something from Jerry’s closet is now gone, you can still support the Layne Staley Fund by purchasing a 2008 Layne Staley Tribute Calendar from the AliceInChains.com Store. Only a limited number of calendars were printed so be sure to order your copy today.
This contest is now closed.
The first-ever AliceInChains.com Fantasy Football league was a great success. For the chance to participate, AliceInChains.com members were randomly selected by a draw from those who had correctly answered our Trivia Contest questions. We had such a tremendous response from you guys that an entire section of the Board has been dedicated to sports, so be sure to drop on by the AiC Sports Arena.
Title: Name Them Tunes!!!
This contest is now closed.
Members were challenged to identify all of the clips from the Alice in Chains Megamix, those that did scored some tickets to see the band on the road during the Re-Evolution tour supporting Velvet Revolver. It was so popular we ran it twice, why not test your yourself!
