Rich Gannon To Play NFBC Main Event: Donate Winnings To Charity

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:16 pm

Rich Gannon, former quarterback of the Oakland Raiders who led the team to Super Bowl XXXVII, will be participating in the NFBC's main event at the Bellagio Las Vegas on Saturday, March 27th. Rich has agreed to sponsor a team that will donate all winnings to his favorite charity, which would include the $100,000 grand prize. Rich has a buddy who is a fantasy baseball fanatic that will be drafting this team along with him.

Rich has also politely agreed to meet and greet each of the NFBC attendees before the main event on Saturday morning at the Bellagio. We'll provide more details soon on that, but we think it's just another nice touch we can provide to our members at the Bellagio. Should be a lot of fun, but make sure you don't give too much of your baseball knowledge away when conversing with Mr. Gannon!!

He will use it to beat you a short time later!!

This is a great addition to the NFBC family and a nice touch in Las Vegas. Welcome aboard Rich and we look forward to a great, great season with you and your buddies. Should be fun.

Greg:

Tell GANNON he is invited to have breakfest with us over at the Imperial Palace prior to heading over to the live draft.

I'll even introduce him to The "REAL CHAMP".

What the heck, Mazur is buying!

So if I bring a ball and pen am I a nutcase?

I'd love to have a Gannon autographed ball!

Good deal. Always liked Gannon, he was a tough player and his great season in 2002 gave me my only fantasy football 1st place finish.

Somebody tell Rich the Dexter Jackson family is extremely grateful for his play in the Super Bowl.
