The ACC girl went from a 1200 lead to a 14,000 lead in less than six hours. 14,000 votes / 20 is 7000 people voting in that time span. This has happened a couple of times where a sudden spurt of votes comes. I think a script is being run to add votes to the ACC contestant.

How do you get to see what the other people in the contest picked? All of the other sites lets you click on to there names after the games have started to see what they had picked. Thank you for your help.

I receive information from Athlon Sports via my company's address. I would like to receive this at my home address. Can you help?

I am wondering how one would apply to become a writer for your website, and or if you are planning to hire any new NASCAR writers for the website?

Do you produce turn key programs featuring mobile showrooms to increase selected product sales and awareness at national sports events?

Do you have a program for small companies that can tie into your Sports Pick 'Em Leagues? We're huge sports fans and would like to do some leagues with our customers.

I am a consultant in the material handling distribution industry. I used your football publication marketing program successfully when I had my own company in Denver. I shortly will be speaking to a group of distributor sales managers for a major supplier in the lift truck industry. I want to refer them to your service. Can I get a sample of last years books packaged as you send them out, other samples and a brochure describing the service, sent quickly to my home? Or call me.
