My bold prediction - "I will get the magazine."

Ozzie gave an update but unfortunately nobody could understand him.

Will the auction satellites leagues be run on CBS or is CBS just being used for the auction portion? How will the position discrepencies be handled - Anderson Hernandez (CBS allows 2b), Frandsen (CBS does not allow ss), to name a couple. Are we going by the CBS eligibilty rules for these two satelli...

If we assume for the sake of argument that we end up with 390 teams in each event and each team was owned by a different person and had equal chance of winning, the odds would be 1 in 152,100 to win. Now we all know that some players are so much more skilled than others that we can tilt these odds a...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Greg, Since you’ve brought on board the $1,000,000 bonus prize for winning the NFFC and NBC event, I’ve been doing cartwheels. 1 million is a lot of money and winning it could help get me out of waking up early to deliver newspapers. Any thoughts in using bonus mon...

What is more reliable - Fantasy Auctioneer or Krause Email ?

How much more important is the intial draft versus in-season roster management / FAAB for a successful season?

Originally posted by freddiezee: I wondered what other guys think about when they pick their KDS?
