Local Steeler fan a finalist for “Fandemonium” contest

We get emailed press releases all of the time and usually don’t even open them up. But Monster’s Director of Fandemonium contest has caught our eye because a devoted Steeler fan is among the finalists. Here’s how to vote for her and the other finalists…plus a video of her flubbing basic Steeler knowledge.

The current Department of Fandemonium finalists are:

– Green Bay, Aretina Trepczyk
– Indianapolis, Nikki Gott
– Miami, Ralph Lanier Jr.
– New Orleans, Kathy Scott
– Pittsburgh, Stephanie Galbraith
– San Diego, Amanda Cameron

The six finalists are now vying for fan voting at nfl.monster.com and spent a week in New York City with NFL legends Jerome Bettis and Sterling Sharpe, and Hollywood’s Scott Caan competing in challenges specifically designed to measure each finalist’s NFL passion, motivation, and professional integrity, as part of an interview for the best job in sports. The webisodes and video profiles of the finalists are available on nfl.monster.com where fans can vote for the next Director of Fandemonium.

One lucky fan will win a trip to Super Bowl XLIV just by voting for his or her favorite finalist. Two finalists will be eliminated every week in January until the last two finalists remain. The final head-to-head, “showdown” will take place during the 2010 Pro Bowl weekend in South Florida, after which the winner will be crowned by Monster.com as the next Director of Fandemonium on February 7, 2010, during the CBS pregame show live at Super Bowl XLIV.

Here’s a video of Stephanie “competing” for the title in NYC. She thought the Super Bowl winner received the Heisman Trophy. She also said Jerome Bettis came to the Steelers in 1996 from Green Bay. Ouch.

Not sure if this is good or bad to have her representing the franchise and city. But if you approve, vote for her at NFL.monster.com
