RUWT? NFL Playoffs Challenge – 1 week in, 9 still perfect
Monday, January 7th, 2008We’re just four games into our first NFL Playoff Challenge and I’m already batting a measly .500. Way to go Mark. Thankfully there are nine people to show me how it’s done.
We have another batch of four games this weekend so we may see a totally different batch of leaders next Monday. Forget what’s at stake? Get a recap.
4-0 After Week 1

Take the RUWT? NFL Playoffs Challenge!
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Fantasy Football may be over, but that doesn’t mean the battle for bragging rights has to be. We’re launching our first WYG? mini-contest: the NFL Playoffs Challenge.
Here’s how it’ll work:
- Predict the winner of each of the 11 NFL playoff games
- After the Super Bowl, the 5 users that picked the most correct games will win a RUWT? Sports T-Shirt
- If one fan gets each of the 11 games right, he or she will win a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com
- If multiple fans run the table, up to five will each win a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com
Be sure to check back here on the blog for updates and standings. What are you waiting for? Get picking!
First Round Games:
Redskins vs. Seahawks
Jaguars vs. Steelers
Giants vs. Buccaneers
Titans vs. Chargers
Like to Watch?
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008I’ve been working on some new functionality for the home page redesign. It’s inspired by the iPhone app, and not polished or close to done, but the code will become core to a lot of upcoming enhancements on the site. I’m improving this daily, so feel free to watch.
0. 1. Happy New Year!
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008Happy New Year everybody. I hope you all had a quality day in front of the TV and are looking forward to the Hawaii vs. Georgia game as much as I am tonight.
Not only is this a National Holiday, but it’s also a RUWT? holiday because it was a year ago today that I flipped the switch on this crazy idea. 12 months, a few thousand users, and a couple radio interviews later and we’re still alive and kicking.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. It’s been a blast so far.
Wetting My Pants on NPR?
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Hey faithful blog readers. I’m up strangely early this morning as I just finished listening to myself yap about RUWT? on NPR‘s Weekend Edition Saturday.
Some of you might remember the last time I was on the radio, and despite suggestions from certain people, I kept the nerves under wraps this time and didn’t accidentally use the phrase “Wet my pants” on the radio.
They unfortunately cut out my opening “You’d be surprised how many people in America don’t have No-Hitter Insurance” line (I made Scott Simon laugh!), but it was still an awesome way to start the day.
There’s a full docket of games on ESPN today, so I’m going back to bed. I’ll have the audio link soon…
update: the segment on RUWT? is now available online…
Which Stations Do You Get?
Friday, December 21st, 2007
Wow, this one was a long time coming.
I promised to keep the hits coming over the next couple weeks, and tonight RUWTbot and I rolled out one of the most requested features from fans: the ability to customize the list of stations you get.
You’ve always been able to pick your provider of cable or satellite goodness, but now you can choose which stations from your provider you actually get. So if you’re having trouble with your fanhood, and haven’t signed up for every premium channel possible, now you can clear out those games from your scoreboard that you can’t see, and your alerts will be only for the list of stations you choose.
This was a pretty major renovation on the geek side, so please let me know if you run into anything that isn’t working quite right. You know where I’m at: mark@areyouwatchingthis.com.
Where’s the F@%&#@ Game?
Thursday, December 13th, 2007I hope that features will be coming out fast and furiously over the next few weeks, but tonight I’m making sure everyone knows about an oft-overlooked one.
There’s a football game on tonight. Yes, I know most people can’t see it because of this NFL Network foolishness (I’m looking at you too Big 10 Network!), and granted Broncos vs. Texans isn’t exactly must-see TV (it’s Cutler vs. Rosenfels, people!), it’s a slow night in the sports world so you may be wondering where you can see it.
Before you hop in the car and head to the nearest sports bar, remember you can click on “Airings” on any game page and see which of your buddies has the game on TV, and more importantly, whose couch you need to invite yourself to.
Sure, you can get Social Networking anywhere, but how many sites give you Couch Networking? Thought so. Don’t forget who loves ya baby.
