NFBC Message Boards

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Can you hide a corona bottle cap in your moutstache? :D :D :D ~Lance You know, the first time I met Jack Haan last summer in Chiago, he looked at me and said, "your moustache isn't that big!!" He said it always looked thicker on the pictures. Listen, I'm a '70s...

Originally posted by bjoak: Are there a lower percentage of people drafting in Vegas than other cities this year, based on current sign-ups? Las Vegas is on pace for a record total. I think we had 128 there last year. We're almost at that point now. I trust we'll get to nine full leagues in Sin City...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Greg... If you were in the NFBC main event...and had just found out your draft slot for 2008...what advantage do you think you could derive from "mock drafting" that spot with 14 goldfish or 14 auto picks? How about 14 ten year olds? 14 local bar league drafter...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: Where would you rank the level of competition in a LABR league versus the NFBC? As good. I say that because everyone in LABR has their own dollar values and they're not afraid to pay for top stars and reel in the $1 wonders later on. There are also many different...

Originally posted by Tom Kessenich: I'll fall on the sword for the WCOFF result. I was big on Javon Walker and I didn't trust my gut enough with Ryan Grant - even after posting on the NFFC boards that I thought he was the darkhorse in the Packers' backfield. I was high on Wes Welker but that wasn't ...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Greg - given that schilling is cooked, how much do u bump up clay buchholz? Definitely a little. The Red Sox will still be careful with Buchholz, but now there's no doubt that he has an open spot in the rotation and I'd even start him ahead of Wakefield. We had Buc...

Originally posted by Red Sox Nation: Greg, Any update on any enhancements for the FAAB process? I know there was a thread where we talked about this a little. Last year I had 4 teams and Sundays became insane trying to change bids. I think if STATS could improve the system your business would go up ...

Originally posted by Trash Man: Do you feel Martin and Martinez are getting too much love being taken in the second half of round 2? I don't have any problem with Martinez going 25-30 as his offensive numbers are solid. Look at his first half numbers and you can see what this guy can do if he can st...

Originally posted by King of Queens: Last week, Lou Pinella announced his hitting lineup with Soriano and Theriot at the top of the order. How many games into the season will it take Pinella to realize his mistake? Soriano's OBP last year was just .337 as he walked only 31 times in over 600 plate ap...

Originally posted by billywaz: Greg, What is the earliest YOU would take Johan Santana in an NFBC draft? I talked about this with Jeff Erickson on XM Radio last week. In our 12-team magazine league for Fantasy Sports Magazine, I passed on him at 11 in the first round and then took him at 14. In the ...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Greg: Where do u see me 5 years from now. Options are below... 1) Running a fantasy show on tv 2) At least two more nfbc/nffc grandprizes added to my collection 3) The undisputed best fantasy baseball/football player in the world These are my only options? Can I ad...

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: Will Upper Deck again be the sponsor for the weekly prizes? Last year's batch of prizes was pretty impressive (except for maybe a Kei Igawa autographed ball). Can we expect similar excellent prizes? I have not reached out to my friends at Upper Deck Authenticated ye...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: After five years, are we at a best case scenario for what you had planned for the NFBC? What would be your best case scenarios for 10 years? Yes and no. I can tell you that four years ago when I lived and died with every new signup, I never would have imagined we'd be...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: quote:Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Greg, If another publications company made you an offer that you couldn't turn down, would the NFBC follow you to your next job or stay with Krause? Don't give folks "The Fear" ;) You can say what you want...but remove Greg...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Seeing that you play hoops... Is it simply a "macho" thing that stops every single male from the NBA down to middle school from shooting underhanded free throws...even when they've tried for years the regular way, and can't make over 50%??? Would a high arching...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Greg, If another publications company made you an offer that you couldn't turn down, would the NFBC follow you to your next job or stay with Krause? Can I get sued for this response? ;) As Tom has mentioned before, there is some frustration that the NFBC and NFFC is u...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: Gregorino... Having never had the privilege to attend a NFFC Main event in person...I can only guess based on my WCOFF experience that there may have been some folks dressed up as Wizards or Snakes or Darth Maul or Pimps, etc. Football being a bit (LOT) crazier...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: Will you win the L.A.B.R. this year and why? Probably not!!! :D I mean, sure I'd love to, but I have a pair of second place finishes but no titles to my credit. John Zaleski and I finished second and third in 2006, but last year we were like sixth and seventh. I'v...

Originally posted by Sack: Greg: Why do you always GET to head to Vegas for the drafts while poor Tom has to play second fiddle and get dumped into the middle of midtown Manhatten? We won't even mention poor Rocky. Well, as Tom knows, from 2000-2007 I ran the Fantasy Sports Trade Conference in Las V...

Feel free to ask questions about the NFBC, ...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: Have you ever been so mad at Tom you have considered giving him the pink slip? Please provide the story. No. Tom and I work as hard as two dedicated employees possibly can and if either of us ever lets up we know the other person has to pick up more of the worklo...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: Does Peter Edward Rose, Sr. belong in the Hall of Fame? Honestly, I always felt that as a player Rose should have been elected to the Hall of Fame. He never bet on games as a player that we know of and he was unquestionably a Hall of Fame player. He got himself in...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: Greg, In your observations of the Main Event over the last four years, is there a #1 common error, oversite, or other strategic faux pas that you have seen owners make on draft day? Not really, although I am surprised at how many owners still use magazine Cheat Sh...

Originally posted by RoundTrippers: can i get am over/under of number of coronas you consume in vegas please ??? No reason to wait until 3 p.m. when it looks like cocktail hour can start a few minutes earlier!! :D RT, this winter is so DAMN BAD HERE that I'd take the over on this one no matter what ...
