It's Time for a "Fast/Slow" with Some Pros: The Sequel

[Baseball Furies]

So for those of you following at home, this puppy was banged out by 15 fanatical and all-around professional owners in a new officially unofficial NFBC record, 48 hours and 17 minutes! It should be noted that this one could have been done at an even more astounding pace of around 36 hours if it weren't for a certain owner's west coast booty call right smack in the middle of a crack-induced-like drafting blitz with a few owners crapped out for the night and on auto. He did not realized until he was engaged in his after cuddling that he was not on auto, much to the chagrin of his perturbed and bleary-eyed league mates who were waiting on him to resume the draft. I have spared him the embarrassment by not mentioning his name here because he has young children.

All in all though, an incredible draft experience. They should all be this way. Respect, Passion, Communication, Cooperation, Fun, and of course, Fast!

Great job guys.


Mike, after reading the paragraph above I'm really surprised you'd have the stones to bitch about my misspelling of 'precedent'.
I guess none of us are perfect.

You are obviously a very stupid person. I made it clear to you to STAY THE FUCK OFF OF MY THREADS! Are you so sick and in need of attention that you cannot control yourself? If you want to start a war with me on these boards, you will not be happy where it ends up and neither will Greg and Tom. So for the last time CEASE AND DESIST!

I'd agree to that if I believed you'd stay off my threads, which you constantly post your hateful crap on.
You've obviously got anger issues. Bully.

Do as Mike says, not as he does. Hypocrite.

I agree!! BULLY!!

I have posted comments of any significance on exactly one stupid thread of yours, and only when I finally became fed up with your incessant posting of your drivel on mine. I have no need or desire to respond to anything you write, so you can stop with your "I know you are but what am I" bullshit and accusations of bullying. You don't know me and the people that do know better to believe anything you cry about looking for more of your "woe is me sympathy". So go back to playing your ESPN daily leagues and several NFBC DC's per year, and stay the hell away from my threads and resist the urge from your moronic commenting on anything that I write, and we'll be fine. If not, we won't. I'm sure further clarity may be needed despite how clear this post is, but if it takes more clarifying for you, I will be happy to do so until you get it.

Can you spell it out with a little more clarity!!

Couldn't agree more. A great draft. Intense, challenging, and a hell of a lot of fun. Awesome, knowledgeable, dedicated owners. Was laughing out loud at times just reading the ball-busting in the chatroom. Would've been nice if there were a few bargains to be had, but I didn't really expect it with this group. Other than a marriage-preserving booty call as alluded to above, there wasn't much slowing this group down. Hell, I went out to dinner with my wife last night and notwithstanding a packed queue with Auto on and my place fairly close to one end of the snake, I had to jump into the draft room every 15 minutes or so to tinker with the order of my queue because the picks were flying so fast. Came back home to about 120 NFBC emails. At times, the Auto picks, with the 15 second run-off, seemed slower than the live picks! Felt like I needed to "veg" today just to recover. Really glad to have been a part of this one.

Mike, thanks again for putting this draft together, and thanks to the other owners as well. It will be fun to see how this one plays out.

I have to agree with Mike and Mike
This is the way a fast/slow should be. A lot of ball busting, a lot of laughs, and nobody taking anything personally.
I know sex is great (though Mikey thinks I forgot what sex is) but I think we had more fun than the drafter with the booty call.
This draft had everything and ADP was virtually pissed on. Players looked for who they wanted and 'value' was told to go **** itself.
It is a well known credo among posters that we don't give away other players picks. And I won't give away the drafter here.
Just his pick.
A 'pro', a name well known in the NFBC, and somebody that is highly regarded and respected, drafted....drum roll, please,,,,,,
Buck Farmer
Yes, Buck F***ing Farmer.
The jokes went on for five rounds.
And now, I hope Buck makes it to the Majors faster than the kids I drafted

Lastly, a salute to Mikey.
Nobody facillitates like Mikey. Like most of us, he has a lot of things going on with his personal life, but he always has the time to text somebody if late. (And for us, 'Late' was three minutes!)
Another great job, Mikey.
We know that 48 hours is a record that can be broken, since we almost did it in 36 hours.
But, I doubt those record breakers will have the fun we had.
A LARGE salute to these fellas!

Totally agree with the Mikes and Doughy, this draft was a blast, great catching up with everyone. However, I think I know who is gonna take this crown though...On The Jazz! And no Buck F'n Farmer is gonna stop us!

Thanks guys. A draft like this is how a community like this was meant to work and is supposed to work. I am excited to have helped to inspire some new blood like Dorian and others who have become interested in this great format done this way that was KJ's brainchild which has blossomed into what it has become today for the NFBC. Looking forward to being in the next one which starts tomorrow with a nice mix of old and new (with Dan and Stan making up the severely old portion of this bunch ).
