Okay, I need input from the owners here on a big dilemma I have: What are we eating at a draft that starts at 8 pm PT?? I know I need to have beer, soda and water on hand and that's a given. But what kind of food do you want this late at night?? Do you want munchies and finger food throughout because you probably ate beforehand or do you want a meal at 10 pm?? I haven't ordered the food yet for this one because I wasn't sure what the gang wanted. Please let me know.

We are going to have fun at this one and if it were up to Mr. 12, Joe Berg, he'd just ask for Bud Lights and plenty of them!! But we need to soak up the beer with something, but this late I'm just not sure how to dine you. Suggestions please. Thanks.

What about having a meal served around 7pm just before the draft. Forgot the room distribution, so not sure tho if the room would be free at that time. And for those who have a draft from 4 to 7, they could join us right after. The bragging and all could start then. We could all talk about my upcoming first pick.

I won't need dinner. How about some dessert? Maybe some apple pie, ice cream and some Saunders hot fudge straight from Detroit!! I know the Bellagio serves up some fancy foo foo deserts as well.

All this will go just fine with multiple Bud Lights

You may want to include some heartburn medication for Mr. Massotto, I have a feeling he's going to need it.

I won't be needing any dinner if this thing starts at 8:00 pm. I will be coming from one of my high end, Las Vegas dining experiences and personal appearances just prior, so just some brandy, Cognac, and Cuban cigars will be sufficient for me.
I will however be bringing along a traveling fantasy baseball chimp advisory committee that I hired on behalf of Joe Berg to help him out, because even a monkey is better at making picks than he is!

I'd appreciate this as well since I'll be drafting a XII at 4pm and then this Super.

NFBC XII owners will have food served at 6 pm. We'll have something for the Super participants during the draft.

I will eat bud light or miller lite for dinner most likely. Whatever you decide is good. Something simple like Pizza and if that isn't terribly expensive a few snacks on hand during it like chips and salsa etc. might work. But I really could care less so defer to the other 11. I will likely have plenty to eat during other drafts that day.

I was thinking Beluga caviar and some other more appropriate snacks fitting a high roller such as you. And just a heads up in advance: You aint getting a seat at any poker table that I'm at no matter how many nice things that I've heard about you and don't believe anyway.

A drunkenness St. Paddy's to you allll

This is awesome!! Mickey, can you please share your ROI for last season? I know I have no business competing with the likes of this group, I am pretty comfortable playing against you simply because I never have. This might be your year

If my drinking recollection is correct, we have two $500 side bets going and I know one of them is for the Mia slow draft. Is this the other? I do believe so.

What do you say we donate the bet to our favorite charity? We have no chance of cashing, but at least we'll be fighting for the charity of our choice.

I'm lookng forward to the draft guys. Greg, lets get the boys whatever they need. I'm a pretty simple guy, bud light will do.

Everyone seems to think this 12 team stuff is so simple. I'm not that sure.

See you this coming Friday!!!!
