Official Statement From Liberty Media

Originally posted by The Mighty Men: Of course I have not read any "noncompete clauses" here, but my initial reaction is that Fanball isn't in the fantasy business any more so there is nothing to compete against. The point of the usual clause is to not compete against them and take business. So, my ...

Look at all these people on the boards!

I dont agree with the Shandler assessment at all. As the guy who won that league and led for the last 3+ months (except for the last day when Chico's tied me) he was way behind because his draft was bad - players he drafted didnt pan out or got injured. This was his draft Round Pick Player Pos Team ...

NFBC Prize Payment Update and Timeline

if you could fill out tax forms by just reading the IRS instructions or explanations on their forms then there wouldnt be an accounting/tax industry. The Internal Revenue Code and Regs determine tax laws. IRS puts out poor cliff-note versions that apply to specific instances.

NFBC Payment Info Coming This Week

Hi Greg - it asks for a payment method before you are allowed on the site but I (and im sure several others) won their entry in a 2009 WTA so there is no payment method. I just selected Check so I could get onto the site. Not sure if thats going to screw anything up or not.

Thanks
