49ers linebacker Manny Lawson wants to battle you!

A new Website for video gamers, www.battlepros.com, has a special offer for 49ers fans.  Manny Lawson, 49ers linebacker and avid gamer, wants to battle Niners fans on Xbox Live.  In his free time, Manny unwinds by playing Halo, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Madden, you name it.  Now he wants to share the experience with the fans.  The beauty of Xbox Live is fans can battle with or against Manny while chatting about an upcoming game.

“Most of the time, I’m playing against teammates Michael Lewis, Patrick Willis, Mark Roman and Ray McDonald,” proclaimed Lawson.  “Now, I’d like to take on some fans and see how good the competition is out there.”

To win a chance to face off against Manny, fans must become a member of www.battlepros.com.  It’s free to join and is open to anyone aged 13 and over.  Once a member, fans need to join the 49erswebzone group – featured on the BattlePros main page.  Once a month, a member of this group will be randomly selected to face off against Manny for an hour on Xbox Live.  The winner will be given the option of picking the game to be played from Manny’s list of favorites. 

Fans that join BattlePros will also be kept up-to-date on the upcoming BattlePros Madden 10 Challenge, which will pit fans against a number of NFL players from across the league.
