ESPN 1000's Chicago's Fantasy Football Championship
Presented by Miller Lite and Crown Royal
Friday, August 22 & Saturday, August 23
Westin Lombard
The weekend kicks off on Friday night at 6pm with a live broadcast of 'The Show.' Come hang out at the Westin Lombard with ESPN's John Clayton, Mark Schlereth and Matthew Berry, and a handful of the Gridiron Greats. Register to win great prizes from Miller Lite and ESPN 1000 and talk smack with Second City's Brad Morris and Joe Canale.
Saturday the convention begins at 8am with a live broadcast of Fantasy Football Island, featuring Harry Teinowitz. At 10am Mike Ditka will open the program and all afternoon our panel of experts will provide you with the information and analysis you need to make the best picks this year.
Following the information portion of the program, participants will break out into their previously selected ten-team leagues and draft their own teams for the 2008-09 championship. Teams will then be loaded into ESPN.com Fantasy, where they will do battle in a thirteen week head-to-head league. Cash and prizes will be awarded throughout the entire season and playoffs.
After the draft is complete, stick around for an autograph session with more than 30 Gridiron Greats, also at the Westin Lombard. Draft participants will receive one autograph from a randomly selected Gridiron Great between the hours of 4-7p.
