It Happens Every Spring - Fortunately

In contrast to the unfortunate tradition we commented on yesterday (the one seemingly established by a few NFLers), there are many great springtime traditions that exist. Perhaps the best of these (ok, maybe second or third best) was one we started last year, that of giving out some free memberships.

So with the middle of April here, and the anniversary of the famed StatLeader.com van's cross -country trip, it's time for our first membership giveaway of the season.

I'll give away free one-year memberships to the first two people that email me with a correct guess of the StatLeader.com van's total mileage, as it reads today, to within plus or minus 2,500 miles. (In other words if the actual mileage is 17,432, any guess between 14,932 and 19,932 is a winner.)

The free memberships will run for a full year and will include the 2006 draft package as well as full access to all season statistics and our proprietary customized league point projections. (a $29.99 value)

For now you will only have the information listed above to get you started. If no winning messages have been received by mid-week, I'll give you some additional help.

To enter, just send me (Doc) an email with with your mileage guess to the address listed at the bottom of our home page. Be sure to put "Free Membership" as your subject so I don't accidentally overlook your message among all the others I receive.

Good luck.
