A Weekend to Remember: DraftKings Fantasy Football World Championship
Nashville, Here We Come!
I was thrilled to join Dana Beers at the Fantasy Football World Championship in Nashville, courtesy of DraftKings. This exclusive event brought together 200 top players, all vying for a staggering $2.5 million grand prize.
A Mind-Blowing Start
Friday afternoon kicked off with an unforgettable performance by Oz The Mentalist at Yee Haw Brewery. With an open bar and three food trucks, the atmosphere was electric. Oz’s incredible show left everyone in awe, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d ever played high-stakes poker – his people-reading skills are truly exceptional!
A Night to Remember
On Saturday, Dana arrived just in time for the dinner reception at DraftKings Social, where Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald took center stage as our guest speaker. What a gentleman! I had the pleasure of chatting with him for 20 minutes, and he graciously tolerated my enthusiasm. His son Devin, a junior wide receiver, is currently being recruited by LSU, and Larry shared some fascinating insights into their experience at the Ole Miss game in October.
A Mechanical Bull Ride to Remember
After Larry’s inspiring talk, I found myself tempted by the mechanical bull on the 2nd floor. Let’s just say it was a wild ride! With an Over/Under of 6.5 seconds, I managed to hold on for an impressive two minutes. Although I was left feeling dizzy and my left hand is still numb two days later, I’m grateful to have made it out alive!
Custom Cowboy Hats and a Championship Finale
Dana and I even treated ourselves to custom cowboy hats, a perfect memento from our Nashville adventure. On Sunday afternoon, the finals took place on the 2nd floor of the JW Marriott ballroom, and what a setup it was! A huge thank you to our partners at DraftKings for hosting an unforgettable event.
The Crown Awaits
Remember, when it comes to Daily Fantasy or sports wagering, there’s only one place to be – DraftKings! The crown is yours for the taking.
