Exciting new contests! Football season starts Sunday, and hockey is just a month away. We've got contests going on for fans of both. First up is the Hooters Pigskin Pick Em contest. You could win a grand prize of a trip to Hawaii if you're the best at picking which team will win each week. Plus, weekly winners will get a $25 Hooters gift certificate. You can enter to play here. ... Then, beginning THURSDAY (Sept. 8), you can enter to win four front-row tickets to see the Steve Miller Band at the Lightning Launch Party at the St. Pete Times Forum on Oct. 4, plus a Lightning gift pack. When the contest opens at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 8, enter here.
