You heard me. Pop Press International has organized a fantasy football league of folks from Austin’s music community, employees of Transmission Entertainment, Mohawk, Holy Mountain, Cheer Up Charlies, Side One Track One, Austin Town Hall, RSVPster, Do 512, and of course Pop Press International. The league is called GRIDIRON MAIDEN. Each week we’ll have a post with some thoughts about how the season’s going and we’re inviting you to follow along as we shit-talk and fumble our way to the finish line of the season. We’re also asking, which team will win? The rosters for all 10 teams are below. You can head over to this Facebook post to let us know what you think! Anyone who correctly predicts the eventual league winner will be entered into a drawing to win two free tickets to any non-sold out Transmission Events show! Get to guessing!
Lastly, to not bombard you, dear reader, with an unsolicited and serious diatribe about culture after you clicked on such an innocuous headline, I did not included here an essay that I considered including. But I think it’s important, and I implore you, to read this essay I’ve written about current happenings in the world of the NFL. Without further ado:
