GridironFans.com Newsletter [ 03-25-06 ]
------------------------------------------------------------
Hey there everyone, hope you all are enjoying this fast paced NFL off-
season. It seems like this off-season has been filled with more
trades, signings and drama than any other off-season before it. We
have had some major developments in and around the league like:

* The NFL and the NFLPA signing a new CBA
* Drew Brees and Daunte Culpepper will be in new homes this year
* The whole Steve Hutchinson to the Vikings saga

All this and more and we haven't even reached the NFL draft! The NFL
off-season has truly become a totally different season in itself, with
teams competing for talent to get close to the ultimate prize, the
Super Bowl. The off-season has been an exciting time for GridironFans.
com as well. The last two months have seen over 3,000 new topics and
over 22,000 posts in our forums. The site has been getting busier and
busier even though we are in the NFL "downtime". Next month should be
an exciting time for NFL fans with the draft coming up. This
newsletter is being sent out to let people know what is going on with
the site. So without further delay here are some of the things you
could have missed on GridironFans.com that you might want to check
