Question from potential newbie
There isn't much I can add beyond what has been said already. I think the competition we have in our field is tough and the event itself is a great deal of fun. I think there's something to be said for being at an onsite draft and being able to look your fellow owners in the eye as the draft unfolds...

In-Season Surprises Spark Strong Finish For Thomas
A fantasy baseball season is often about surprises. Surprises can come in the forms of players who perform better – or, unfortunately, worse – than expectations. They can also come in the form of in-season developments that the owner or owners may not have foreseen. Such was the case for Jeff Thomas...

Aaron Seefeldt was on a singular mission when when he entered the NFBC this year. “My only goal was to win my league. That was it,” he said. Mission accomplished. A strong draft coupled with some season-long strategies he prefers to keep to himself enabled Seefeldt to realize his pre-season goal as ...
