I got a marketing email from Snapdraft on Tuesday. If you believe the subject line, it was addressed to players who own Chris Johnson of the Titans in leagues that Fanball handles. My regular fantasy league uses Fanball and I own Chris Johnson. I'm special!
But I digress.
The email was touting a special opportunity:
Oh wait: It's not a bonus. Instead of paying out cash, these contests pay out a mini helmet:
Company gotta get paid yo.
Upon further reflection I was going to change the title of this post to "You might be an idiot to play on Snapdraft if ..." but then I took one more look at the marketing email. As it turns out, in order to win your Chris Johnson NFL superstar mini-helmet you might have to be good at picking hockey?
For additional entertainment, go to the Players Ink website. Players Ink has a few dozen autographed mini helmets available. I didn't see any Chris Johnson helmets. Quite a few from other players are available for under $100, while a number of others are listed at $9,999.99. Including a REAL GENUINE signed mini helmet from the legendary Donnie Avery of the St. Louis Rams. Whoa.
Must. CONSUME.
What do you mean my credit card was declined?
Anyhow. I haven't played on Snapdraft lately and really don't have much motivation to do so. There's plenty of traffic on Fantasy Sports Live, a better variety of contests, lower rake and no retarded email spam marketing.
Play FSL for less FAIL.
But I digress.

This week all SnapDraft customers have the opportunity to win a Chris Johnson signed Tennessee Titans mini-helmet, a $150 value, by entering the "NFL - Chris Johnson Autographed Mini-Helmet" 15-team league posted in the list of SnapDraft contests for only $10.That would be a pretty nice little bonus, wouldn't it?
Oh wait: It's not a bonus. Instead of paying out cash, these contests pay out a mini helmet:
There is no cash prize awarded for the "NFL - Chris Johnson Autographed Mini-Helmet" contests.I wonder if the megacorp that controls Snapdraft has a sponsorship or other tie-in with Chris Johnson - maybe they got a box of these at a discount. More likely the 'sponsors' - Players Ink and Buzzer Sports - kicked them in. Or maybe they just bought some off of eBay ... hey this one is only $107 or less with buy it now and there are auctions going for less yet.
Company gotta get paid yo.

To play SnapDraft NHL, pick a team of 9 players using a $27 million salary. Compete using only this weekend's NFL games.So much FAIL. Yes, I'm sure it's just a typo. It's still a joke.
