NFL Creates New Position: ‘Director of Fandemonium’

This Friday someone is going to be really, really happy because earlier this year, Monster.com joined forces with the NFL to give one fan the job of a lifetime, the first ever NFL ‘Director of Fandemonium’.

Out of the 300,00, only 32 were invited to NYC to battle it out for the position. Under the watchful eye of NFL beast Michael Strahan, competitors were put through a series of NFL challenges in efforts to find that one special someone who will take home the title of Director of Fandemonium-which (gulp) includes a $100,000 signing bonus. And let’s hope the winners got a great voice-as they will also be announcing the first pick at the NFL Draft.

The competition has been captured in a series of webisodes and in the latest episode Strahan attempts to see which contestant can ‘motivate’ his/her team with one word. Strahan, along with Rob Riggle, challenge fans to motivate their team with a pep talk which must include one of the following words: hot dog, pajamas, tofu, chicken soup…etc…(I know how I would use hot-dog and pajamas to motivate, but that’s another post.)

The Director of Fandemonium winner is being announced on Friday, so be sure to watch Strahan put the fans through the ringer by visiting NFL.Monster.com…

This video has nothing to do with the Director of Fandemonium competition, but it did make me wonder if the guy Strahan is talking about applied for this position?

Granted, there’s no ‘charity’ angle here for me to pump up…but I do love me some Michael Strahan. Met him a few times and he’s always been extremely cordial, approachable and nice to his fans. Plus, he’s always taking part in charity events-mainly golf. He’s one of the good guys and I love this ‘marriage’ of Monster and the NFL. Now if only they would team up with the NBA, the ATP or the EPL, I’m fairly confident I’d land the job of Director of Fandemonium….
