Play while you watch the NFL

One of our readers sent me any email yesterday with a link to an interactive game at NFL.com called “Call the Play”.

According to the website, “NFL Call the Play is a national play calling competition you can join while watching LIVE regular season NFL games on TV. Predict every play in real-time before it unfolds. Run or Pass? Which player will get the ball? Connect with and compete against friends and a nation of football fans, live as you watch. Prizes in every game, plus be entered in our weekly sweepstakes for cool prizes like iPods just for playing.”

This sounds like a lot of fun and reminds me of the old “QB1” interactive game that many area bars have featured over the years. It looks like you can even play this game on your mobile device if you are out (at one of our local watering holes) and still want to play.

Give it a try this afternoon during the Panthers/Falcons game (1pm, Fox) or Cowboys/Redskins (4:15pm, Fox) matchup.
