I’m the commish/chief wrangler of the Marketing Bloggers Fantasy Football League. Yep, marketing bloggers are gonna go head-to-head this fall in Fantasy Football action. (Should be fun, eh?)
We have 11 teams registered right now in a private Yahoo! Fantasy Football league. But … we are looking for ONE MORE TEAM to join us.
To be considered as an expansion team in the Marketing Bloggers Fantasy Football League, you need to first be a marketing blogger. When I say marketing blogger, I'm referring to any person or company that blogs primarily about general marketing, PR, advertising, and branding matters. (Dig?)
Second, you need to add your name, your blog name, and some snappy smack talk in the comments section.
From there, I will arbitrarily select one marketing blogger from the comment list to join us in the Marketing Bloggers Fantasy Football League.
The catch is … you gotta respond before Sunday, August 20. I plan to select the marketing blogger on Sunday.
Oh yeah … you will be competing against these marketing bloggers …
Church of the Customer
Social Customer Manifesto
Brains on Fire

Snappy Smacktalk: What the hell do marketers know about Sports? I'll own all you bitches. I'm going to take you down ... take you down to Chinatown. I'm going to tear off your arms, and beat you to death with them. And in the event that I might somehow unexpectedly lose ... um, well played, I guess.

remember ... I'm looking for your name, your blog name, and some snappy smack talk. Just submitting your name ain't gonna work. Dig?

The Word is Out!
It's on! Looking forward to demonstrating the ROI our fantasy football picks will provide. Digg? er, dig?
P.S. Consumer-generated trash talk (CGTT)? How about, "Our interns can beat up your interns..."

Blog Name: The Fast Growth Blog
Imagine the possibilities of Doug Davidoff and The Fast-Growth Blog being picked as this year’s expansion team. Everyone else in the league will have to go to Church….Church of the Customer that is, and pray that they won’t play us on Sundays, Saturdays, and even Casual Fridays. This is some TrueTalk, not a lot of b.s. Can you DIG it? Stay out of our way, and don’t crash the party, because the Airbag Industries cannot afford to keep paying for Brand Autopsies after we kill all others with our whit, humor, and all-around pure greatness. Some may say that our Brain’s on Fire, we’re sick and demented, or that maybe the food we eat was grown in some Viral Garden. Even so, we own our brand, we’ll Own Your Brand, and we’ll own exactly one fantasy football championship come January. All others should work on creating Social Customer Manifestos, while we work on creating a dynasty. No, we’re not talking about Joan Collins, Heather Locklear, or even George Hamilton here. We’re talking domination, pure and simple. We’ll be tan and basking in the sun, while all others will be green with envy! Old-School selling sUX, Magazines and newspapers really don’t understand, and it’s up to us marketing bloggers to step up and take charge! Don’t believe us? Well, check out www.imaginellc.com and find out for yourself.

Game on! I couldn't pass this up, the opportunity to beat up on some fellow marketing blogging pundits is too good to pass up. This could be more embarassing than a drunk Joe Namath hitting on Suzy Kolber.
But seriously, no whining in your posts that you actually thought Arizona had a chance this year or David Carr is a can't miss, they don't and he isn't, 11th and 12th place!
I've have sent my wishes separately to you John (courtesy of ESPN Fantasy Smack).
One question - as a Canadian, will we be scoring touchdowns or rougeaus?
Must go...I hear Don Meredith singing again.

Name: Chris Houchens
Marketing Blog: Shotgun Marketing Blog
Sh-nappy Sh-smack: (Please visualize pro wrestler taking microphone from commentator and pointing at camera)
"Listen up marketing bloggers, Chris is coming and he's packing heat. The Shotgun Markeitng blog is ready to pull the trigger.
I'm talking to you, MARK-MACK...I'm bringing "MO" problems down to Ala-BAM!
I'm talking to you, Ben and Jackie. I'm bringing the evagelists to spead the WOM that I'm taking you DOWN.
I'm talkin to you, Brandmoore. I'm bringing another toetag for the other foot!
(And then it just goes on like this...)
Just remember, when this fantasy is over...it'll be the end of the championship for you. I'm taking the belt. This Saturday night 7 in the ring at the Community Center. It's on!"
This concludes the mixed metaphor smack.
