Mikey:
No side bets in these leagues for me. Consistently taking your entry fee over the years is more
than enough to keep me in Cheeseburgers and fries. Somebody has to look out for your family. I don't want
to strip you from everything.
"The Champ" and I go way back. There is a mutual respect and bond I have with that man ( and his family )
that I consider him family. We were a tight group, the CDM guys, that remains in place today. We did all we could
in the early days to promote and take part in the NFBC. March will be special, we are all looking forward to the ten
year anniversary. As Greg and Tom prompted Lindy, anybody experiencing a LIVE draft put on by the NFBC it becomes
more than just a chance to show you are the best and win money. It is about the friendships you form with the other
players in the room and at that table. It will keep you coming back for more and those friendships grow. Sure, you don't
get along with everybody. Heck, there has been a time or two that I've even been in disagreement with both Greg and
Tom ( Mikey.....you can relate to this! ) but despite those few times, I respect them both. I'd trust no other game
operator like I do both Greg and Tom. Although we do need Tom to leave his old light blue Brewers shirt he wore in AC back in Iola.
So Yes, Mikey, I heard Mr Hinkelman. I enjoyed the show as well. It will become a staple each week. If you start
behaving yourself, maybe they will let you come on the show and promote your MTM East Coast Super League Championship?
It will be your 15 minutes of fame. Once they start the games, you can slip off the boards and throw yourself back into
your work. Be able to save up some money for the 2014 season. Try to make it to the Shandler Forum. I realize it didn't
help you last season, but it did keep you from getting a ticket! I'll protect you again, the least I can do for
all of the donations you've made to me and the family.
