Title: Duff Joins Alice In Chains Fantasy Football League Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 05, 2009, 02:52:40 PM Alice In Chains Fantasy Football Underway
Hard-core NFL fan Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains has recruited some fellow heavy metal musicians and friends to take part in his other passion, fantasy football. The full lineup includes Duff McKagan of Guns 'N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, Mike Inez of Alice In Chains, Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, Scott Ian of Anthrax, former NFL player Matt Willig and ESPN's Matthew Berry. Later this season, each participant will put up an item for an online auction and all of the proceeds will go to the charity chosen by the champion of the Alice In Chains & Friends fantasy football league. Examples of the items that will be up for bidding later include a Scott Ian signature Washburn guitar and a G&L guitar autographed by the members of Alice In Chains.

Duff McKagan Team McKagan D Duff McKagan Place of birth: Seattle Age: 45 Fantasy football experience: Rookie Favorite team: Seattle Seahawks Most memorable NFL game or moment: "My favorite NFL moment was playing Gil Dobie football (age 13-14) at halftime in the Kingdome during the Seahawks' inaugural season (1976). That, and going to the Hawks-Steelers Super Bowl with Jerry Cantrell a few years back." Before playing bass for Velvet Revolver, McKagen spent 13 years with Guns 'N' Roses, so he's ready for anything. Here are a few comments and exchanges from the draft room: "My first draft! Wheeeeeeeeeee!!" -- Ian "I hate mjd (Maurice Jones-Drew) but couldn't pass on him." -- Cantrell "That sukd." -- Willig after drafting 49ers running back Frank Gore in the second round. "Gore not sitting well with you?" -- Cantrell "Gore is a gamer. Lotta carries." -- Inez "But he's got a pretty crappy O-line." -- McKagan "No love for your Niners, Matt?" -- Cantrell "Haha." -- Inez "Not really" -- Willig (a former Niner) "Housh in Seattle" -- Inez, after he drafted Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the fourth round. "Should do pretty good if Hasselbeck stays healthy." -- McKagan "Walter Jones just went down and so did the center ... not looking good." -- Cantrell "Ouch. This is going to be Walter's last year, right?" -- McKagan "I think so ... could be another long year ... no O line." -- Cantrell |
