Matt Shepherd Wins NFFC Sack Cancer Contest/Tickets

[Greg Ambrosius]

Thanks to all 60 teams that competed in the NFFC Primetime Sack Cancer leagues that featured the likes of Mike "The Miz", James Rodriguez, Michael Fabiano, Thomas Everett Scott and Jerry Cantrell. We filled up all five leagues and had five great league races.

Any prize money won by these five celebrities will be donated to Connor's Cure of the VFoundation and we have good news to report. The tag team of Jerry Cantrell of Alice & Chains and his manager Mark Wakefield, won their NFFC Primetime h2h league title and $3,400. Jerry and Mark are still competing for the remaining $3,600 league prize and the $250,000 grand prize in the Championship Round. Great job guys and congrats.

We asked everyone in those leagues to donate to this great cause and if you haven't done that yet you still can do so here:

The WWE also donated four tickets to the person with the most points among these Sack Cancer leagues and Matt Shepherd of Napa, California dominated this standings all year and finished with the most points after Week 14. I'll reach out to Matt and the WWE to make sure he gets those tickets. Great job Matt and congrats on a really great year thus far.

Okay, let's wish Jerry and Mark well in the playoffs and let's all donate if we can to the VFoundation on behalf of the NFFC. Heading into this season, we had raised over $40,000 in donations and that number will go up this year. Thanks all.
