NFBC Message Boards

Originally posted by rockitsauce: Just came back from Green Lantern (a friend of mine loves that superhero genre, me...meh, it's 104 out, sure lets go) anyway while there I saw a preview for Moneyball. It's a movie that certainly interests me (I did read the book) however it seems rentable, doesn't ...

Wow....not a lot of love for Jonah Hill on these boards. I have enjoyed the vast majority of the movies that he's been in. @bjoak: You'll have to let us know if you see yourself in the movie. Regardless, I just think it's awesome that they adapted the story into a book and have now adapted the book ...

I just watched the Moneyball Trailer and thought it looks pretty cool. Anyone else pumped up to see the movie?

I saw the movie. What was his role?

I guess I won't be recommending Gran Torino on this message board anytime soon...

With the Padres off to a slow 8-14 start, how long will it be before they trade away Heath Bell? Is Memorial Day a good over/under date for his time left in San Diego? If that is the case, I would say that Adams would be good for 20+ saves on the season. At least, that was the logic I employed when ...

Someone's going for the triple Lindy. It's enough to raise your drink in the air and pay homage to the departed Rodney Dangerfield.

I don't look at the overall standings everyday as I am on the outside looking in as far as that's concerned but I happened to take a look at them this morning and was amazed to find out that we've got a legitimate 5 horse race going into the last few weeks of the competition. Will the Doughboys hold...

In Chicago League 4, there are no teams in the top 50 but the competition within the league has been simply incredible for the entire season. There is still no clear cut dominant team and any of the top 11 teams can still lay their head on the pillow at night and have dreams of $5k. Here is how the ...

Is there a month old echo in here? Wasn't that runner up bid observation made by me on this very message board? I believe that there was a grass roots uproar on the message board about it and a revolution of sorts almost ensued (translation: I replied to the message myself to bump it up and I was th...

I didn't think that this post would cause so much controversy and "get legs"....Who would have ever thought that one little topic could've sparked a debate and discussion to this magnitude....Shock and awe, people.....Shock and awe...

This may have already been pointed out but if the winning bid and the runner up bid are identical and come from the same team (or if they ONLY originate from the same team), doesn't this defeat the purpose of showing the runner up bids on the website? If one were so inclined, they could always make ...

The guy only meant to bid $3 but his "3" key on the keyboard stuck....



Didn't mom warn you against going to "those" kinds of websites?????????

Are we in a canyon???? Because I think I hear an echo in this message board....I thought that Tom's email was interesting and contained some worthwhile information....does anyone else out there think that Tom's email was interesting and contained some worthwhile information?

I have to completely DISAGREE that the spirit of the rules have been violated. I think that the rules are exactly what they are and to apply any strategy within those rules to field what that individual deems to be the most competitive team possible is FAIR PLAY. For those that believe the "outside ...

bjoak: I may be wrong but I think that a winking icon may imply the tone of sarcasm. If you couple that with the fact that Carlos Beltran went very early in EVERY first round of the entire competition (but doesn't hit for avg.) it seemed like seefer was only pointing out that your point was not that...

Grammatical perfection acknowledged!

Hey, who I am to argue with success?

Washington Nationals right-hander Francis Beltran was put on the 60-day disabled list Monday with a torn elbow ligament. The reliever will have reconstructive surgery Tuesday. The 25-year-old Beltran is 2-2 with a 5.87 ERA in 56 games spanning two seasons with the Expos and Cubs. He was acquired fro...

First off, I want to acknowledge as I already have with Greg, that the NFBC has done an incredible job of becoming the industry's 800 lb gorilla in a very short amount of time. When it comes to live fantasy baseball events, the NFBC is simply awesome. That being said, I am somewhat of a fantasy spor...

Not to give away too much strategy, but I'm thinking of taking Beltran in the 1st round and Guerrero in the 2nd round. Do you think that would be a bad idea to go OF-OF like that....

Okay, since no one else from the league has jumped on board with this league message board, I will be the first:



Good luck to all of you and let the smack talk begin!

Ready for a mock draft? 7pm est at Mock Draft Central.............Available to sign up right now!!!!!

I am going to be flying into Milwaukee (my dad lives in Waukesha) and I would be interested in carpooling with you on Saturday to and from the Chicago draft. Email me at [email protected] and we can exchange contact info and go over the details. Thanks.
