Originally posted by cleaver beavers: greg, is this all leagues, or just the main event? This will be for the main event leagues and the full auction leagues. We won't hit any auction leagues that aren't full yet or the Super or Ultimate Leagues yet. I think we'll do the Ultimates next Friday to giv...

Okay, this is the day we've all been waiting for: Credit Card Day!! On Friday, Feb. 15th, we are planning to start running the credit cards for the early signups. It actually takes more than a day to run these, so we'll run some tomorrow and continue next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. When we do hi...

Not all of the owners in the satellite leagues are setting their KDS preferences, which is obviously each person's prerogative. In the latest draft I've looked at, nine owners kept their KDS preferences as 1-15. The other six looked like this: 3,1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 1,8,9,10,11,12,13,14...

It's not a matter of technology Lance that is preventing your free agent idea from happening. I trust STATS or anyone else could devise such a system. It's the fact that owners would then have to be live each Sunday night to actually bid for free agents. Even if they just put in blind bids, there is...

I apologize for trying to give Clemens the benefit of the doubt, but I felt like one question was missing from this hearing. I didn't watch all of the hearings, but I tried to watch all of the highlights last night. From what I gather: Clemens admits that McNamee shot him in the butt five times with...

Originally posted by bluenose: I know Greg and Tom put a lot of effort into promoting KDS as one of the NFBC's unique tweaks, and KDS is clearly better than a random draw. That said, the Keeper League that KJ Duke has organized under the NFBC umbrella uses FAAB bidding to assign slots, and IMO this ...

We're now up to 74 returning members back from 2004 to compete in 2008 as we welcome back the Bambinos -- Karl Mische of Rogers, Minnesota -- to the NFBC this year. Karl has been with us all five years in the Windy City and he returns for the main event and the $650 Mixed Auction League. Welcome bac...

Originally posted by Quahogs: purely hypothetical of course, Greg (and Tom), A credible person is doing a report on fraud in fantasy sports gaming. It's a big deal for the industry and you know certain gamers are rife with fraud. Mr Credible calls and asks to speak with you concerning some of the in...

Originally posted by The Mighty Men: I can tell you this. These questions are terrible. They either have no idea how to cross-examine a witness, or they are asking bad questions on purpose. Man, would I love a crack at it. Clemens' answers are pretty evasive, too. He won't answer some questions dire...

This next NFBC Satellite League was one of the more interesting KDS preferences I've ever seen as many owners chose to move down in the draft order. Some folks who had 13, 14 or 15 as their top preferences lost out to others who had them listed higher. Very, very interesting and I won't try to give ...

Just an FYI to new NFBC owners: If you want to set your KDS preferences before the draft orders are picked, just: Click on your team name. Go to My Settings (top upper right). Pull down to Draft Preferences. Set your preferences in the order you'd like to draft. Right now it is defaulted to 1-15. Se...

Here's another look at the KDS preferences for an upcoming NFBC Satellite League that has filled. The preferences of the 15 owners are below, followed by analysis: 1,2,3,4,5,8,7,6,10,11,12,13,14,15,9 3,2,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,1,8,7,13,14,15 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Greg: Should people who only play football or only play baseball "learn" and play the other sport to increase their potential commercial fantasy opportunites in the future? Folks should only do this for entertainment purposes!! :D Seriously, people should only comp...

Thanks all for the questions. I have to get back to work, but this was fun. Feel free to post any questions you still have and I'll try to get to them. We have Mike Sheets of Rototimes.com doing a live chat on Thursday and I trust Tom will jump in again from time to time. I'll do the same when I can...

There were about four golf courses in that com...

Originally posted by freddiezee: Greg, Give us your estimate of the date when main event drafters find out their draft slots. I promise I won't hold you to it! Well, we've been averaging about 30 signups per week for the main event, although this is when it gets tough. Once signups hit the credit ca...
