NFBC Message Boards

(We wont talk about the 86 Stros, ok Glenn? :oops: ). Thanks for the happy memory Dustin. :mrgreen: http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/1006/mlb_a_dykstra11_576.jpg And thanks also for your own happy memories of your Killer B's. Great thing about this great game of baseball I've seen posted over and ov...

Only 7 Days , that's right, one single week remains until the NFBC Main Event and an opportunity to add to our Hall of Fame resumes.... https://sdyankeereport.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/485506309_1e69aa8bb3_z.jpg Just prior to the start of the Main Event at the Bellagio, Greg will likely take the p...

Great post!!! As the father of four girls who were not interested in baseball or football, I had to enjoy my passion by myself (except for all my friends here). My grandson, little Jimmy, turns four tomorrow and my hope is to have him by my side at a draft or auction someday. I have watched as Chip...

Thanks Guys. I won't hesitate to admit that my son, as well as my baby girls, are the prides and joys of my life. As for my Dad, well let's just say that while growing up, he helped teach me what it is to be a Dad. And you're right Greg. My boy's so sports obsessed, he probably could outdraft me alr...

Only 8 DAYS left 'til we get to test our skills on fantasy baseball's national stage, the NFBC Main Event.... http://playsports.tw/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/8.cal-ripken-jr.jpg This will be my 7th straight attempt at the NFBC Main Event. All 7 years having drafted live for the East Coast weekend, w...

Ummm, if KJ's recommendations are followed, please make me the first signup for The First Annual Live MTM Invitational Super Event - Las Vegas Edition. Thank you.

Glenn, Great job .... waiting for #9 since you started this ... can you imagine sitting down and talking baseball/hitting with Ted Williams ... I'm not a big All-Star game guy but I will never forget Williams going around Fenway that night. I was born in 1969 I missed his career, but with all the s...

I think we can all make the sacrifice to do that and have some drinks together . Any thoughts on Friday at 8 or 9 pm for 20 minutes? I was planning on entering a poker tourney Friday night, but for the good of the league and to help get past this scheduling conflict, I'll pass on my other addiction...

I'd rather do it live too, but I don't want it interfering with my other leagues ... an hour before the Main I want to be thinking about that draft not bidding on this one. How hard is it to conference in a few people on thurs or fri ? I agree an hour before the Main is the worst option. 9am in Veg...

We've been dicking around with this long enough. 5:30 Saturday right before draft. I think everyone will be there then no? Agree completely with Juprinkowski. I get KJ's idea, but I don't want to overbid 100 in FAAB for a draft slot in a $13K league or lose out on my spot by 1. This needs to be live.

Only 9 DAYS remain until the next opportunity to put our name up in lights as one of the greatest overall players among us.... http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/ce/02/49/ce024963ef8007334c1ffce59118fca9.jpg Who is that greatest overall player among us? Honestly, who knows. There's so many incre...

Wayne, Marc, I had Rusty pegged to represent the Expos and for this spot in the Countdown for some time now as he's always been one of my personal faves as well. Ever since I opened my very first pack of baseball cards and pulled out the following... http://paulsrandomstuff.files.wordpress.com/2008/...

With just 10 DAYS remaining 'til the NFBC, you're running out of time if you plan on taking in a prep draft or two. The last thing you want to feel when sitting down at your Main Event draft table is unprepared or.... ...Rusty. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/80/84/cd/8084cde4811635b4f4fff335...

Sir this is really amazing stuff and the work that you put into it makes you eager to see what you come up for the next day and makes the wait all that more enjoyable thanks Thanks Blazer, glad you're enjoying the thread. It's fun trying to come up with these every day, as well as trying to make th...

There's only 11 DAYS remaining 'til we enter the Bellagio ballroom for the NFBC Main Event and our big moment of truth on the grand stage... http://ww2.hdnux.com/photos/15/43/01/3551301/3/628x471.jpg Will all our off season of prep and hard work go for naught and result in a disappointing finish? ht...

Just ridiculous. Unreal.

There's still 12 DAYS remaining 'til we get to battle it out over the greatest players in the game during our NFBC Main Event drafts.... http://www.q92rocks.com/files/12.roberto-alomar.jpg I know we're all dying to dive in already. Until then, we'll have to make do with enjoying some of the battles ...

Only 13 DAYS remaining 'til the NFBC, where we hope a combination of skill and LUCK combine to give us something special to celebrate.... http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Tampa+Bay+Rays+v+Toronto+Blue+Jays+orNPcU4tjCXl.jpg However if doesn't work out, try not to go blaming the Fantasy Gods.... htt...

Ok, let's not get crazy now.

Thanks Dan, Dan, and Matt. It's easy to write about someone like Ernie Banks and even easier to write about the love of the game. Russ, nice job adding a few more memories of a great player with your great pics. And Jody, number 9? I'm excited about that number as well. Right now, I'm trying to deci...

Although I didn't join any of Andy's auctions due to scheduling conflicts and a general lack of preparedness, and despite having to block Andy's number from my cellphone to avoid his recruiting texts :D, you have to admire how he took the bull by the horns and filled league after league. Andy's grea...

Just 14 DAYS left 'til the NFBC Main Event. I cannot wait. But my fun that day doesn't end when the last pick is made in my Main Event draft, because later on that same day, I'll be taking part in the Platinum. It'll be a long day of NFBC drafts. That's more than OK though. It should be a beautiful ...

Hey Lowry, maybe this year you consolidate and have your draft cigs all at once. That way you don't add 45 mins to every draft as we hold it up until you get back :? C'mon Juprinka, you know it's not the smoking itself holding me up. Can I help it if when I go out on the Bellagio patio, all the gir...
