We're proud to announce that the Upper Deck Company will be the sponsor of the NFFC's Weekly Giveaway, providing 16 great autographed memorabilia prizes to our members. The overall high point total from each week of the NFFC season will earn that week's prize. Items range in value from $130 to $500, with Upper Deck donating almost $5,000 in prizes to the NFFC. Upper Deck donated over $10,000 in prizes to our National Fantasy Baseball Championship, so we're glad to have them on board for our high-stakes football contest as well.

With this great giveaway in place, it should give every NFFC owner the incentive to fight to the finish as everyone has a chance to win something every single week of the season. Good luck everyone and thanks Upper Deck and Upper Deck Authenticated for adding some luster to the NFFC.

That's fantastic - thanks Upper Deck!

Greg - just between you, me and everyone else reading it... is that $500 for a Tim Couch autographed helmet just in Wisconsin as the heir-apparent??

And don't tell me - is that week 16 prize really an autograph on a watch?

Just having fun - that's great stuff.

THANKS!

Yeah, I think Upper Deck may have the Couch item valued a little high considering he's a backup QB now. Those wouldn't even sell for $500 in Wisconsin as Favre is still a living god here. But an autographed helmet is still a cool collectible and it's fun to add other players to it.

It's a SWATCH my man, a SWATCH. I believe it's a high-valued insert card but I haven't seen the image yet. What you need to worry about in Week 16 is winning the $200,000, not a WATCH!!!

Seriously, having Upper Deck on board just shows again how we're going to work with our partners in the sports collectibles industry to fill up your goodie bags and provide giveaways all year long. Plus it keeps everyone playing every week and should help avoid "dead" teams. Good luck.

But if I have a watch I can tell what time to go pick up my check. I need to be assured that if I win the $200k I can get Peyton Manning to autograph a watch for me. If not Peyton, then maybe his good friend Vanderjagt...

Maybe Couch can sign watches from his clipboard. Hmmmm

Either way - Upper Deck rocks!
