CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – –(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep. 06, 2011– If you’ve been looking for a mobile communication platform that puts you in direct contact with NFL players your solution has arrived; GRIDIRON GRUNTS™ is now available for Android users.
GRIDIRON GRUNTS™ is a mobile platform conceived by former NFL players that enable pro athletes to deliver real-time audio content, aka “GRUNTS™”, on an unlimited number of topics.

“We have seen a high level of demand from Android users and are thrilled to offer them our platform,” said Jeb Terry, former NFL player and CEO of Gridiron Ventures, LLC. “GRIDIRON GRUNTS™ brings spontaneous, unfiltered content to fans’ phones. It’s hard not to get excited when your phone lights up and it says, ‘Philip Rivers just GRUNTED, would you like to listen now?”
Fans can also create their own network to grunt with friends, personalize profiles with pictures, and enjoy preview and welcome GRUNTS™ from players for free. Fans can invite their contacts and Facebook friends and can also push updates to Twitter when they GRUNT.
