About Thefootballgirl.com

TheFootballGirl.com burst onto the NFL landscape in 2009 with two innovative concepts in mind:

A)     There are plenty of women who like football on a much deeper level than worrying about game day recipes and which tight end has well, the best tight end.

B)      An NFL site edited by a woman doesn’t have to exclude men.

As you browse through the many features of the site, you’ll notice we offer something for everyone.  Some highlights include: headlines; fantasy tips; interviews with A-list NFL names like Barry Sanders, Thomas Jones and Antrel Rolle; Featured Football Girls; tweets of the day from NFL players and coaches; Melissa’s blog with unique NFL news stories and observations; a growing Football 101 section, to name a few.

TheFootballGirl.com has already received national acclaim, being named one of Forbes’ Top 100 Websites for Women and winning the InfluenceSD award for Best Sports Website.

Melissa Jacobs, our editor, brings a wealth of experience as an ESPN producer and overall fantasy geek.  To learn more about her, click here.
