DraftKings Nashville Recap: I Am Announcing My Retirement From Mechanical Bull Riding IMMEDIATELY
DraftKings hosted the Fantasy Football World Championship in Nashville over the weekend & invited Dana Beers and me to tag along for the occasion. Props to DraftKings for going all out for a first class one of a kind event! 200 players qualified for the World Championship with the winner taking home a whopping $2.5 MILLION!!!
It started Friday afternoon with an Oz The Mentalist peformance at the Yee Haw Brewery complete with an open bar & 3 food trucks. The show was incredible! Oz blew everyone's minds as he always does. I asked him after the show if he has ever played high stakes poker because his people reading ability is on a different planet!
Dana Beers arrived on Saturday in time for the dinner reception at DraftKings Social just off Broadway.
Hall of Fame WR Larry Fitzgerald was the guest speaker and he could not have been a nicer guy! I talked his ear off for 20 minutes and he at least pretended to not be annoyed. His son Devin (Junior WR) is being recruited by LSU and they went to the Ole Miss game in October in Death Valley
Fitz did not appreciate the 2009 Saints/Cardinals Playoff Game blind side hit by Saints DE Bobby McCray that knocked Kurt Warner out of the game but was diplomatic about it. That was during the Saints BountyGate Super Bowl run and was extremely controversial.
After Fitz spoke, I got talked into hopping on the mechanical bull on the 2nd floor. Let's just say it was a little harder than expected!

The Over/Under was set for 6.5 seconds and I somehow lasted two minutes! But damn it was no joke! I was dizzy as hell after and one of my fingers on my left hand is still numb two days later. Whoever was pushing the buttons was having some fun with me. But I am still alive!
Dana & I even had custom cowboy hats made after too.
Sunday afternoon, the finals were on the 2nd floor of the JW Marriott ballroom. Check this set up out!
Thanks to our partners at DraftKings for hosting an unbelievable event all weekend in Nashville!
And remember there is only one place to play Daily Fantasy or wager on sports…. The Crown is Yours at DraftKings!
