Congratulations to NFBC Hall of Famer Stephen Jupinka of Waldwick, New Jersey for becoming the first owner in NFBC history to win 5 NFBC MAIN EVENT TITLES!! Wow, now that's getting it done. Through 9 seasons, Steve has won 5 of the 12 Main Event leagues he's entered, including this year's Las Vegas March 31st League 3. Steve led his Quahogs team to that title with 132.0 points and finished 5th overall. He also finished second in Mahwah League 2 with 123.5 points, placing 13th overall. Amazing accomplishment to have 2 teams in the Top 13 overall. This is why you are one of only 3 players in the NFBC Hall of Fame, Steve. Great job.

Here's a list of owners with 4 or more NFBC Main Event League titles:

5 NFBC League Titles:
Stephen Jupinka: 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012

4 NFBC League Titles:
Shawn Childs: 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009
Mark Srebro: 2007, 2008, 2010, 2010

We also added two more owners to the list of owners who have won at least 3 Main Event league titles. Clark Olson, who won titles during our first two seasons, ended his drought with a title in Las Vegas League 6. And NFBC Hall of Famer Lindy Hinkelman, who won overall titles in 2009 and 2011, won his second straight league title this year in Las Vegas League 1. Congrats to all of you.

Here's that select list:

3 NFBC League Titles:
Michael Cameron: 2005, 2010, 2011
David Deterra: 2006, 2010, 2011
Bob Mazur: 2007, 2008, 2010
Philip McDonald: 2007, 2008, 2011
Clark Olson: 2004, 2005, 2012
Lindy Hinkelman: 2009, 2011, 2012

How about a hearty round of applause for all of these owners!! :lol: Great job all.

Jupinka is a killer. I've concluded he's just better at this than everyone else.

As I told him today, Stephen needs to write a book on how to win the NFBC Main Event. He's been winning from Year One, and hasn't gone more than 3 years without a title. Amazing consistency without parallel in any fantasy sport. Kudos on yet ANOTHER fantastic season.

I'll be updating the lifetime rankings soon ... I think #1 is going to hold his spot.

Another one? Whatta ya doin Steve making a bracelet or something? Congrats buddy on another fine job! Also, I'd like to welcome Clark and Lindy to the 3 ring circus. It's a terrific club and I know you'll both enjoy it. That I've been trying to get out of it for two years now, well that's another story.... ;)

Stephen,

Never met ya. Just laughed occasionally at your posts on the MBs. Tremendous accomplishment with 5 ME titles. Just the message board persona that I am referring to since we've never met .... but you seem to have a great sense of humor and remain very humble about your accomplishments in the NFBC. Gotta like that. Congratulations.

Steve,
I would have really liked to have figured out some creative way to have busted your balls about this season, but I just can't do it, my friend. You are just a remarkable player, and truly the greatest of all time in the history of the NFBC. Congrats! But this still doesn't get you out of a serious dinner that you owe someday in the near future. :mrgreen:

I "pity the fool" who draws one or more of these players in his main event league. Congrats to Steve and all of the players mentioned above. Great accomplishment.

Honestly, am I the only one here who's getting a little annoyed that Juprinka wins everything he enters? He must be taking some form of fantasy sports performance enhancing drugs or something. Greg, I demand we start drug testing next season!!

Seriously, amazing career achievements Steve. You're the very best of the best in my mind.

Awesome accomplishment.
My strategy next yr is to get in draft next to Steve with same pick & just take players he drafts.
Now thats a winner.
Great job
:)
