Maybe it was more about a never ending need for attention- especially when you consider the numbers kind of speak for themselves regarding your performance. Some half clever line about finishing a few spots ahead of me in the main event in 06 in 5,4,3,2,1

We played head to head and I beat you badly- you may not like it anymore than I liked bjoak beating me pretty badly head to head. The difference is one of us tips our cap the other talks big...

Good job though of taking me off message, nothing personal but you quit or stated clearly you were not going to try right from the start- want to do it again just so you can get some attention well that is up to Greg...

Okay, it's time to finalize this league and set the draft order for our Wednesday, Dec. 13th draft. I want all 15 owners to e-mail me your KDS preferences by Tuesday, Dec. 5 by noon CST. I will then pick the draft order, set the preferences, e-mail everyone and get this set up on MockDraftCentral.com. We'll analyze the KDS preferences for the group and have some fun with the draft results after they're done. Sound good?

Here's our 15 participants as I added Dan Kenyon, who finished second overall in 2005, and Kent Stermon, another 2005 league champ. Good luck everyone and be prepared to play this one out.

1. Greg Morgan

2. Andre Bourcier

3. David Van Der Stuyf

4. Dave Kerpen

5. Brent Grooms

6. Bobby Jurney

7. John Hogan

8. Matt Mickle

9. Chris Stephenson

10. Steve Pletkin

11. Glenn Schroter

12. Eddie Gillis

13. Sandi Kleemann

14. Dan Kenyon

15. Kent Stermon

Great league guy played with most of you before. Very excited about going up against Glenn- a guy I have a lot of respect for- rematch with the all time leader Stevieland, and one more shot at the WINNER of last year's champion league Dan Kenyon. It should be a good league. More than open to doing like last year and putting 250 on the line per team and giving a free 2008 nfbc to the top 3 finishers.

For those of you who did not do the December draft last year- you definitely want an extra cheat sheet. Mock draft had a few guys ranked so low they will not show up on your screens. For instance 15 returning champs did not draft Lofton or Hanley Ramirez and the Beckett trade had already happened.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice and an extra 250 is ok with me.

Damn, I go away for a week for a management retreat at work and miss this

Greg, if someone backs out, I would be there for you

Greg,

SlackerBrothers would be very interested in attending the next one ... we never won the league title but 2nd in 2005 and 3rd in 2006.

I still blame Lou Pinella for my 2005 loss and 2006, we just didnt have the horses for 162 games.

However, would love to throw my name in the mix for the future drafts.

We are in for the 250 but can someone explain what we are exactly plating for including the 250. Also who do we give the $$$ to. Thanks Matt $ Leo

Thanks Matt $ Leo As I said last year, if everyone agrees to play for something, I'll take the money and award it at the end of the year. If not everyone wants to play for anything, that's fine with me too. Keep taking the tally and we'll move forward later. For now, draft as well as you can because the results will be read by all of our NFBC guys/gals plus my Fantasy Sports Magazine audience.
