Top Ten Reasons Why Drafting In NJ Trumps Vegas

Post by Baseball Furies » Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:55 pm

Reason #10: I will make sure that you get a chance to have this chick hang all over you at the draft table (no, seriously, I will). :mrgreen:

First weekend in Mahwah, NJ. Be there or miss out!

Roy, first of all, nobody has bigger arms than me (at least not anyone participating in fantasy baseball unless you count fat the same as muscle :lol: ). And second of all, she is all woman. I actually know her quite well from the gym. She happens to be a former three time figure Olympia champion, and for the record, it aint costing me near that much to have her there ;)

Reason #9: Stephen Jupinka is from NJ, and in honor of this, he will be there to sign any part of your body that you would like provided that you can prove residency in the Garden State, or vicinity AND that you kiss his ass a bit when you meet him to help boost his fragile ego after last year's overall showing in the NFBC. :lol:

Reason #8:

Image
Vegas: This costs money. (In this photo-Roy Ericson)

Image
Jersey: This is free. (In this photo-no one Roy Ericson could even get close to in his wildest dreams) :mrgreen:

I like free as opposed to cheap....

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.

If my wife was from Jersey instead of Latin America, and on 'roids instead of not, I think this is what she'd look like. :shock:
She even has that, "you're doing another draft?" look on her face.

With all due respect as well, KJ, if your wife looks hotter than this, I will fly her out to Jersey and pay for her appearance at the "MTM" Invitational. :mrgreen:

Roy,
Stop your drinking and sober up prior to posting on the boards :lol: Just PM Tom and let him know your current info so he can update the thread. Thanks.

Reason #6: Vegas has one-armed bandits.

Image

But that pales in comparison to NJ, where we have...

Image

Two-armed bandits (yes, we have hicks in the sticks here, too :oops: )

Draft in NJ the first weekend of the NFBC...you'll never what you'll see ;)

Although Tom Cruise is originally from NJ, he will unfortunately not be appearing at the drafts. However, I will, which is all that really matters anyway. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reason #4: Jersey is safer.

We got your back while you're drafting...for our customary 20% of your winnings. :mrgreen:

We just take everything after we kill you living the casino. (In this photo: Chad Schroeder and entourage) :lol:

Reason #3: Greg and Tom have rigged it so that nothing is free in Vegas.

Image

But in Jersey, everything is free! (Just pay shipping and handling charges) :mrgreen:

Reason #3: Masstto obviously has issues counting back from 10 without messing up at least once, so really how good could he be in a contest based on numbers? :? Easy competition in Jersey. :D

...And Reason #1: Unlike the other venues of the NFBC, there will be no distractions to take your attention away from the real reason why you should show up for these events: To draft and compete against the best of the best the NFBC has to offer, while hanging out and getting know great people who share the same obsession for this sh*t as you do. Period! 8-)

Image
Okay, so maybe there will be one distraction... :mrgreen:

New Jersey: Come see for yourself. ;)
