I must be fired up. I just wolfed a footlong sub like I was in the movie "Coneheads"! :D
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

We can put it to a vote. I have 150+ proxies from my Vegas brethren, so VEGAS WINS! ;)

T minus 10 minutes. Where's all of the NFBC members? :D



Okay, here's the process. I'll announce which city is up first right here and then post each league from that city individually in the League Forums. Feel free to jump into the League Forums at the top of the hour and you'll see the leagues flow in there. Just keep hitting refresh to see the new leagues. It shouldn't take me more than 10 minutes per city as I'm prepared today. :D



Then I'll post the entire city in the General NFBC Discussion area for all to see. All of the leagues will be there in case you want to Search for a friend or top player, etc.



We'll do this for all four cities and the phone leagues and be done for the day. Then the preparation REALLY begins!! :D



Are you ready?

I think I might even start a minute early. This is to prove to everyone that on Draft Day we run things ON TIME and we don't wait for anyone. Be seated and ready to go by the top of the hour because we'll start without you if you're not there. We run a tight ship here.



Okay, seven minutes to go. maybe six if everyone is good. ;)

Are you ready? the real question is whether the IT at our respective workplaces are ready for the overload of server activity from incessive refreshing.

Okay, that's it for Las Vegas. Next up is New York, followed by Chicago. Look for the 7 NY leagues next in the League Forum.



Sorry for the delays, but our server is unbelievably slow right now with all the traffic. Welcome aboard all.
