Re: RIP Kent Stermon

Horrible, really horrible to read this. Spoke to him in Vegas this year after not seeing him for a few years and he seemed better than ever. A no BS standup guy not to mention one of the great characters that made the NFBC early days special. Reading the story and the disturbing series of events, gi...

Re: Oz, Coz, and Broken Glass

While many have noted the Wizard of OZ as an allegory about monetary policy and the gold and silver standards as true "money," as opposed to fiat paper as money, the use of the Wizard of Oz as a metaphor for going to Las Vegas for NFBC drafts is perfectly symbolic as well. As we as a society become...

Re: The Vegas Contract League

I will admit that I do like this format and it's so successful in football that we run two NFFC Kickoff Gridiron Leagues. I'm disappointed that we couldn't make this work in baseball, but I understand everything that KJ has going on right now. The weekly payouts is what makes this format so much fu...

Re: The Vegas Contract League

A few interested parties above can't make it out for this league, and with the various challenges ahead for something that takes more planning than most other leagues, 2022 looks like poor timing to push forward with this league. I may give it another shot in the future, but for this season we won't...

Re: The Vegas Contract League

That said, Coz's stubborn view of THIS league is unfounded. It's a unique concept and rule set that should not be tethered to the 1973 rotisserie chicken ruleset. To accept all the other changes but get hung up on one small element which fits this concept better - already having short time-frame com...

Re: The Vegas Contract League

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but like the discussion about a full season or not. And I hardly ever disagree with KJ, so there is a degree of fun for me. :lol: It only serves to make it a truncated or shortened game. Which, I guess, serves the fantasy football folks well. This is another issue, ...

P.S. If games suspended before the arbitrary August deadline are then resumed in September when stats then become “official,” will those September stats be applied nunc pro tunc back to that date or nah? Please advise. 8-) P.S. Ending the season in August is not arbitrary. It roughly coincides with...

Re: The Vegas Contract League

One minor tweak to the rules after further thought and discussion, the private pool will include an additional $200 per team entry along with draft slot bidding and player salaries. Thus, the absolute minimum a team could spend will be $1250 rather than $1050. This will give the weekly payout a hig...

The Vegas Contract League

As some of you know I have run the Gridiron league in Vegas for the past 10 years hosted by Greg and the NFFC. It's a DC-style format but with the addition of cash draft slot bidding in the first two rounds which go into a side pool which is paid out to weekly winners. It's a fun league with money o...

Re: Two Words

Wil Crowe will start for the Pirates on Sunday against the Cardinals.
Crowe has compiled a respectable 3.86 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 5/4 K/BB ratio over 4 2/3 innings (two appearances, one start) this season.
Thank you for your opinion, Mrs Crowe.

RW taking it up a notch, now getting woke preachy ... Diamondbacks activated RHP Chris Devenski off the restricted list. Devenski was on the list for "personal reasons," and it's no one's business why he was away from the time. He'll be back in a relief role for Arizona, and he takes the place of Yo...

Re: NL and AL Only Auction Leagues - Las Vegas

I talked with Brian Ogan, who loves this format and really wishes he could come to Las Vegas. The good doctor can't make it this year, but I said I'd work with him to still get involved. If needed, he's ready on standby with a proxy. I'll add him here to show everyone that we are closer than expect...

Re: NFBC In NL & AL LABR Auctions: Saturday and Sunday

Childs with the buy of the draft. $25 for Bauer!!! Mind blowing! I literally (using the word correctly) closed the XM app when Arenado went for more than Bauer. It's just Childs (and a handful of other good players) abusing the other half of the league who are there to showcase their media presence...
