Puffs will sponsor a segment on ESPN Sportscenter that will celebrate buzzer-beaters and other emotional, last-second victories - complete with shots of inconsolable fans and players.

Banners on espn.com will give non-Facebook users the chance to e-mail coupons to the losing squad’s teary fanbase after the win.

Facebook users who list being fans of specific teams will receive targeted ads for the Dry the Losers’ Tears app immediately after a big rivalry game win.

Everyone who takes advantage of these opportunities will be encouraged to take their snarkiness to Twitter – with potentially lucrative results.

The user’s Friends will then be alerted to the deed on their news feeds - and get invited to join in the action.

Puffs will create a forum for banter among hoops diehards. Particularly witty comments will be re-tweeted, as a way of giving props.

During the week leading up to intense match-ups, Puffs will ask fans to make colorful, clever remarks about their rival’s shortcomings.

On the day before the big games, Puffs will select and re-tweet the winning barbs. Their authors will get two complimentary tickets to their team’s game.
