Three Full Leagues For The Main Event In Atlantic City

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 3:05 am

The tag team of Jim Christie and Ken Magner couldn't resist the lure of Atlantic City and I'm talking fantasy baseball not horse racing!!

The CDM pair and NFBC veterans are going to partner up for one team in the Atlantic City main event, bringing us ONE SPOT AWAY from a third full league in AC on Saturday, March 20th. Who wants to help us fill out that third league as we go forward on a 28th full league overall?

We have one spot left there and a minimum of three spots between Las Vegas and St. Louis. I already have a couple of folks inquiring about the Bellagio on the 20th, so don't delay if you want to get into any of these first weekend live events. Here's the current signup list for March 20th, so don't delay:

Hey Mark

You had to mention my name,thought I could fly under the radar like some of my picks. Anyway to quote a famous wrestler whose wife just beat him up. Ric Flair "To be the man,you got to beat the man" Will be tough in AC but would rather compete against the best

See you in AC than at Citi

[/QUOTE]This Gordon Gekko is also a family man. We had plans to go to Vegas, but the price tag was too much, so AC is next. Had to arrange vacation days amongst 4 people and find someone to watch our children. Sorry, but Chicago doesn't do it for the rest of the family.

Hopefully if some AC owners need to draft via phone with Chicago, Greg will put me in that group. would LOVE it.
