Kickstarter campaign.

Upon first glance, my initial reaction was that this is stupid. However, upon taking a deeper look, and really thinking about the possibilities, this is actually pretty cool.

It's all going to depend on the level of athletes they get in there though. Sure, a Steelers fan would care about playing Madden against a guy on the Steelers' practice squad, but nobody else will care. Now if you get Jalen Rose, who has LOTS of down time lately, playing games...that'd be cool.

Yeah, this is all about how many big names you can get to sit down and play with the common folk. I could see a lot of dudes on DLs getting into this.

If I were rich....
Pledge $4,000 or more
The Kluwe Experience. Describing a day with OverDog advisory board member Chris Kluwe any other way would be shortchanging him. One lucky fan will have the chance to receive a punting lesson (in Minneapolis), play some video games (likely World of Warcraft), and soak in the wisdom from the NFL's most interesting man. Unfortunately, travel is not included but a Forever Subscription is.

I like Kluwe. I think he's hilarious. He and I have similar tastes. We both agree on gay marriage. However, I find it a bit blind on other issues. He's a bit too left wing...at times.

The one thing I do respect, however, is that he seems able to have discussions about issues, and can have his mind changed.

He also rick-rolled Commissioner Godell on one of those "Ask Anything" Reddits.
