The official Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football All-Star Blogger League online draft party will take place next week and the complete team rosters of the bloggers will be available for viewing by all fans on Sept. 10. Following the draft, Wingo will add his commentary on the proceedings to the banter among the fantasy bloggers and fans. Fans can follow the moves and strategies all season long on the microsite, while Wingo's comments will be featured on that site and on his Twitter page.
The Buffalo Wild Wings program includes $100 in free food vouchers for future game day visits to Buffalo Wild Wings and a CBSsports.com fantasy football draft kit. Each restaurant location will host as many as ten or more draft parties, so guests should register early.
Throughout the season, Wingo and the All-Star Bloggers will provide the latest insider scoop, ongoing expert tips on players and teams, highlight news affecting roster changes each week, and offer fans special Buffalo Wild Wings prizes. At the end of the football season, one blogger from the All-Star Blogger League will go to the Super Bowl and co-host an exclusive party with Wingo in Miami.
