NFL Weekly Countdown Nominated for 2010 Sports Emmy Award

2010 May 04

NFL Weekly Countdown is a game that I built for NFL.com with Sports Technologies, and today I found out that it has earned a nomination for a Sports Emmy Award. You can read the press release on NFL.com. The category it was nominated in is Outstanding new approaches sports programming.

NFL Weekly Countdown combines a Web-based voting system (that I was responsible for), with a TV show airing on NFL Network. Each week, the results of the fans' vote on weeklycountdown.nfl.com determined the order that the videos appeared on the TV Show. This is not a new approach to sports programming, but it certainly is outstanding. Everyone working on this project really knocked it out of the park.
