This is going to be a fun, fun league and it was fun to create this video. Check it out:

Extremely fun to watch.

One question. I know it's been a fun year, but have both of you gotten grayer. Nah, must just be the lighting.

Can't wait to see a video for my Ultimate league!!

Liked the video too, but if you post the draft order right after the video you take away all the suspense!

It was a test for us and STATS to see what we could do together and if this is something we could do for all leagues going forward. There's no doubt that Matt at STATS can do this as well and even better than we did before. And they have a nice studio at STATS where we can do this at.

I don't know if we'll ever do all of the leagues, but it shows what we can do together. Stay tuned and we might have one or two more early next week.

Can't wait to see a video for my Ultimate league!! Let's admit that it's a combination of yes we are grayer and yes it was the lighting!!!

I think we look less gray on the next video.

I'm getting that "President of the US" gray look right now. You know, Obama or Bush or anyone before him enters office with natural color and immediately they start graying, from the stress. Well, these last 18 months have aged me in dog years and I'm now 50 going on 70!!

So yes, the gray is there for me and even Tom, who is younger than me.

Speaking of Tom, I think it's his birthday today or tomorrow. Someone wish him a happy birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!! Don't get too drunk on State Street in Madison tonight.

Yeah, this wasn't for suspense. This was a matter of getting everything done that we had to while running credit cards, while taking final entries, while calling new potential members, while driving to Chicago and back in two days, while writing an AP column, etc. Like I said previously, this video just shows what we can do together and now we have a visual of how draft orders are processed here. It was more of a test run and a way to lighten up the air of "where are my damn draft picks" atmosphere. The next video is better because we tightened things up a bit.

I could only find a $10 bingo machine with the smallest balls in the world. They kept flying out of the bingo machine the first time and I finally solved that. As I said in the first video, I didn't acquire the old Bingo machine in the buyout, which was my mistake!!!

Time to find a good one.

Only $1,699.00 -- consider it an R&D expenditure, and take it as a 100% write-off

why stop there

Very cool stuff.....I'm not even in baseball and I liked it!

The new shirts make up for the Tom/Kay switch, and the move from Fanball to STATS is INVALUABLE!!!!

Can't wait for football!

: The new shirts DO NOT make up for the Tom/Kay switch!!

Yup, get ready for these for football when we have more time to do all of this. Billy, you should also check out the ADP lists that are being generated for our users from the online leagues. That is going to be a great tool for our users if we can start Slow Drafts in May or June.

Lots of cool things we can do with STATS now.

[/QUOTE]You guys may have had a tougher year than Obama, so the touch of gray's understandable.

By the way, Happy Birthday Tom!!!! That's another drink I owe you in AC.
