Chris Brown wins football pick'em, sponsors struggle this week
This week’s winner of the Pigskin Challenge is Chris Brown. Chris was one of 19 people to beat our sponsor, Rosie Stieby, who was 6-6 last week. Chris, a different Chris Brown from the one who played football at Hanahan and Notre Dame and who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, was one of two people to pick nine games correctly. He beat the other nine-game winner in the over-under spread because that winner incorrectly picked the spread game.
Chris lives on Daniel Island with his wife, Jacee, 5-year-old Felix and 2-year-old twins, Maxwell and Truman. Chris and Jacee founded and operate a design business, Plaine Studios, doing branding for companies including logos, websites, print ads, photography and video.
Chris said via email, “I attempt to run that business while also being a stay-at-home Dad. I voted for Hillary Clinton and care a great deal about climate change.”
“I play every week because it takes one minute of my time and can result in a nice prize,” added Chris. So true – this week Chris wins a $50 gift certificate to Sermet’s Courtyard!
