I think the overnight Pause and the current setup is a worthy discussion. This is a new addition that resulted in input from current drafters and that's why we went to 4 hour drafts and the 8-hour nightly Pause. We would hope that drafters wouldn't turn that into a 12-hour clock, but all it takes i...

I couldn't agree more Dan. Started this morning and nearly through 3 rounds. Moving right along. Bronx Yankees and myself have been marveling at how everything is functioning. A good experience. :D Agreed. So far, so good. Now completing my first day in the new draft room and can attest that it alr...

Alright, enough of this family togetherness and turkey stuff. Ready to draft and check-out the new draft room! Just signed-up for this baby. Let’s fill her up! Mike Okay Champ! Its on... Hey, Scott. Great to have you in this one! I look forward to drafting (and chatting) with you! Looks like this o...

Looks like the My Teams page has been tweaked to eliminate some unnecessary spacing and list the teams more closely together. I like the improved look. The ranking, points and differential columns will be nice features once the season starts.

** The Stewart Hotel is on 7th Avenue and 33rd Street, near the FNTSY Sports Network offices. We held our NFFC drafts at the Hotel Penn over Labor Day weekend and it was perfect. Matt Modica and Chris Vaccaro did a great job of getting our guys to their studios for live interviews throughout the we...

In fact, ask why NO OTHER HIGH STAKES EVENT has EVER hosted one event in New York City. The answer is simple: It doesn't add up financially. It's been a loss leader for us for years. We understand that and still host live drafts there because we believe that these great customers still play with us...

Check out the Vdarra and Cosmopolitan for better rates. Bally's, Planet Hollywood and even Flamingo are across the street and affordable. For those going to Vegas, I have stayed at Vdarra several years now...I love it. Some of the nicest rooms on the strip, no casino, so getting the to your room is...

Well, it's about time, Mark. This draft should be done in about that time (or less), and so maybe we'll catch you in the next one. Looking forward to it.

Any chance of getting a DC where the lineups set automatically for you like football. I know it is harder with the categories, but if there was some kind of program similar to ESPN player rater tool that would rank players and start them based on that. Maybe even give people all day Monday to overr...

Also, is there a way to change the order of the teams on the “My Teams” page? If not, I hope this feature gets added. Thanks. Mike Mike, this is already there and in an easier fashion. You have three teams on your My Teams page now. The three horizontal lines to the left of each team is a Drop 'n D...

Mike , on top of your team page, go to Manage my teams list , then re-arrange teams in the order column (using decimals is easiest I found). Then hit save button on bottom of page. Thanks, but I’m not seeing that option on the new playnfbc site for my 2018 teams. (Actually, I really like the look a...

Wow! Just, wow! This may be a very interesting drafting season.

Round one has something I have never seen before in any NFBC Draft...ANY NFBC draft. :) :twisted: Ooh, do tell! (Having finished our first e-mail DC league, I'm itching to draft again in the new draft room. Flying for Thanksgiving tomorrow so I'm on hold for a bit. We'll see if I can make it until ...

Alright, here are a few more "interesting" baseball names: Johnny Dickshot (OF for Pirates, Giants and White Sox in 1930's-40's) Rusty Kuntz (OF for White Sox and Tigers in late-1970's to 80's) Cannonball Titcomb (P in the late-1880's) Dick Pole (P for Red Sox and Mariners in 1970's) Jack Glasscock ...

I have got to get some sleep...insomnia is a bitch.... Here is my way of being 'productive' while awake for the night... 17. Supposedly, stolen bases have slowed down, between Billy Hamilton, Trea Turner, and Dee Gordon, there were 165 thefts... 18. That is nearly as many as the top 10 base stealer...

Works the other way too... Jose Bautista plays like he is almost done... Bautista is slightly younger than Nelson Cruz. Nelson Cruz is a like a fine wine that gets better with age. Strange career. Seemingly hitting peak re health, consistency and stats over the last four years when he's "old" (in a...

Mike, what are your thoughts on Girardi being let go? I was shocked. Dan - Here is a link to an ESPN story today indicating that the Yankees probably would have fired Girardi even if the Yankees had won the World Series: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21426709/hal-steinbrenner-new-york-yankees-...

The thing about Gohara is he pitched in four different levels last year, starting the year as a prime member of the Florida Firedogs! I just think the Braves will start him in AAA, though I think the stay will be short. And as far as training wheels, Gohara will not turn 22 until July 31. Most of t...

Wayne or Bryan, or Mike if you'd like to answer too.... What is the Braves starting rotation next year? It appears they have so many pieces. But I'm sure they don't want to have too much youth to open the season.... I think you can pencil in Folty, Newcomb, and Teheran. Four and five will be some c...

Mike, what are your thoughts on Girardi being let go? I was shocked. I was surprised, too. Didn’t see it coming after what arguably was one of his best seasons as a manager. Spin in New York was that Girardi is too intense and does not relate well to players, particularly younger players. On the on...

Nah, if I’m the Marlins, I want young and cheap talent for Stanton. Why pay for Cueto when you’re not that close to winning and want to reduce payroll? Also, they got Bour; not sure they’d even want Belt. Marlins want to unload salary and get cheap, young talent. Think Cardinals’ young pitchers if S...

Dan and Wayne - Love the different perspectives. It’s fun to speculate. Hell, I never saw the Twins as a playoff team at the start of 2017. In fact, as much as I hate to admit it, I did not see my Yanks as anything more than a .500 team coming into the season. The Giants will be interesting to watch...

I’d also add the Orioles as a team likely to decline, especially if they bail on Britton and Machado (although that might be the right move long-term if they’re not going to re-sign them). Never going to win if you only shop for starting pitching at the dollar store.
