Greg, what's the deal with the March Madness VIP Party in Vegas Thursday night? Like do we need to bring something to get in? Can we bring friends? What's the details? Thanks.

We are beginning our Interactive Sports Conference this morning and have a beautiful setup for Thursday night's Viewing Party. This is a party for our industry executives who will stick around after the conference before catching flights that night or early the next morning. We would like to invite NFBC members to come and join us for the first game as well and have a cocktail or three with us.

This will be in Bellagio Room 2 and 6 in the Convention Center. The ISC will go until 4 pm and we'll likely kick off the Viewing Party at 4:15 or so. Come down to the registration area if you're around that night and we'll gladly invite you in to watch the first games on the 20-foot screen we have set up in the room. Should be a great, great way to kickoff the NFBC weekend in Las Vegas.

Does that sound like a plan?

Make your bets in the sportsbook -- which will be overly packed -- and then come down by us for a few hours of drinks and fun before we get down to the serious business of drafting. See ya on Thursday night.

See you at the party thursday. Just a reminder to NFBC members who get into Las Vegas early and want to have a beer with us during the first game of Sweet Sixteen tonight: We are in the Bellagio Ballroom 2 & 6 and we'll have three big screen TVs and drinks from 4-6 during the games. Come and join us if you'd like and kick off the weekend with good friends. See ya tonight.

I'm heading down to the Interactive Sports Conference now and will be out of touch the rest of the day. Tom is also flying to New York City now, so Geoff is in charge of the boards today. If you need anything from us today, contact Geoff at [email protected]. He will help you out.

Last night I got a chance to talk with Tony Dorsett for about 10 minutes. He's a real nice guy and he posed for pictures with anyone who wanted one. He had some good insight on the labor situation and he's worried that the owners are going to lock out the players in 2011. In fact, I heard that from a lot of folks yesterday that the owners have the TV war chest in place and now they are prepared for a long, nasty lockout with the players in 2011. I didn't hear one person say a good thing about this situation and many feel the 2011 season is in jeopardy. Yikes.

But today is going to be a good day as everyone at the ISC gets a picture with Chris Johnson and CJ will do a 45-minute One-on-One with Ryan. That should be fun. Johnson is here with Mike Sims-Walker and Rich Gannon, so this should be a fun, fun day.

It's going to be a busy time, but we'll have some fun tonight. See ya tonight at the NCAA Viewing Party.
