Special Rich Gannon/NFBC Dinner On Saturday Night

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 12:53 pm

Okay, we are fortunate to have former Super Bowl QB Rich Gannon in our NFBC main event in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 27th. And since he's playing, it only makes sense to buy him dinner at the finest restaurant at the Bellagio after the draft. He has accepted and Ryan is looking to make this a VERY special night of good food, good drink and good sports conversation.

This is all coming together just this week and so we're doing this on the fly, but we want to give everyone a chance to join Rich Gannon and the Fanball crew at dinner that night. We just don't have the space for everyone and in fact we're limited to about 12-14 seats at the area we've reserved. Dinner time is 7:30 pm on Saturday, March 27th.

So here's two things we can do:

1. We do want to tie in what our best customers have done in baseball with a kickoff to our football sales. Yes, I know it seems like there's a catch, but again it's tough to qualify everyone for this dinner. So here it is: If any NFBC member has purchased an NFBC Diamond or Ultimate team and will commit to an NFFC Diamond, Ultimate or Super League for 2010 they can have a spot with us at dinner. We just need your commitment and we'll discuss the rest later.

We actually will be introducing an NFFC Diamond League ($10,000 per team with a similar 93.5% payout to our NFBC Diamond League), Ultimate League (similar payout) and Super League in 2010 on two weekends at the Bellagio. We want to pay the most and run THE BEST high-stakes private league for you guys at the Bellagio on both weekends in September. Just commit to any of those events after doing a similar event in baseball and the least we can do is take you out to dinner in Las Vegas. The first 10 to commit can join us.

2. We'll also put all Classic Las Vegas Bellagio owners from the second weekend into a hat and select two players to join us. Everyone in the NFBC Classic on Saturday, March 27th is eligible to win this at no cost. We'll pick this well in advance of the 27th to let you know you've won. If you can't make it for some reason, we'll randomly pick another name until we find two people who want to do this with us. Sound good?

Hopefully everyone wins. We'll go to dinner with the right amount of good sports fans and have fun eating steak and drinking with Rich Gannon.

We couldn't pass this opportunity up. Thanks all and believe it or not, it's almost time to start thinking about football.

Sensei senses that I will sensibly be joining you at Sensi.

I will be video taping the pulling of names for dinner -- that way nobody has to be concerned we staged this.

I will put everyone's name into hat and pull two lucky winners.

We will do this in front of a video camera - LIVE - to ensure everyone knows we did this the right way.

Good luck everyone! This is going to be a very special event we are excited to share with some of our great customers!

Thanks for making 2010 the best NFBC year ever! We are really excited - can you tell?

Hey Greg what about if you are signed up for an NFBC Super League this year and are willing to do an NFFC Super League in 2010? I'd be willing to do that.

Hmmmm.....I know some on the East Coast who've spent some real cake on baseball & football as well.

The first city always plays second fiddle in fantasy....sigh.

Ryan/Greg,

What if you are only in the Main Event the first weekend in Vegas but are in other events in Las Vegas the second weekend? That should be good enough, right? Don't forget any of those people.

Glenn No second fiddle there. Hang tight, we may have a nice promotion coming to the East Coast soon. We're working hard on something.

I don't think he is. I think he likes that $25,000 league figure with a prize of 97.5%!!! Any interest in that one?

Possibly. You wouldn't wear that Urlacher jersey, would you?

Stay tuned.
