NFBC Message Boards

We have a special STATS Fantasy Advantage tonight as we welcome Mike "The Mouth" Massotto to SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. Mike will join us at 8:30 pm ET during our first hour. We'll talk about a lot of things, but we'll definitely talk about his $20,000 win in last year's MTM Super Special and how he plans on defending that title this year.

Join us for some fun tonight and phone calls are welcome!!! We'll try to drum up new business to fill up that New York Super League, give Mikey his props for taking down the best of the best from the East Coast, talk about this year's early drafts, and just have some good ol' fun on the airwaves. See ya there.

We'll also have Jules McLean on at 9:30 pm ET to talk about the NFFC Trendsetters League. Our most die-hard fantasy football owners have already started that season with 8 rounds of our first slow draft of the year. Believe it or not, we're already filling slow draft leagues for football and will get those started by the end of this month. There's always time for drafting, right? The die-hards are ready over there, too.

We'll also talk about the latest NFBC draft trends, preview our upcoming LABR auctions next weekend and more. Join us from 8 to 10 pm ET for a fun, fun night.

Be ready Mike!!! 8:30 pm ET it is now!!!

Yes, it's finally happened. After being unceremoniously snubbed for years since the inception of Greg and Tom's show, I have finally been invited to impart some of my amazing fantasy insights, experience, and knowledge to the masses for a couple of hours this evening (give or take ). As I write this, a CVS somewhere in East Jabib, Wisconsin has just run out of stock on their antacids. So while Greg and Tom rest up, do some meditation, yoga, or whatever you do in Wisconsin to decompress besides ice fishing, cow tipping, and the like, I'll be prepping to make sure that I am a respectful, entertaining, and gracious guest...Okay well two out of three aint bad! Post your questions you would like me to answer here or just call in and I can bust your balls in my own special way personally, just for you. Looking forward to it.

Mike,

Why did you limit your High Stakes donations in Vegas to just the Platinum. We owners in the Diamond feel snubbed and are not happy with the decreased ROI now that you backed out of the league?

I will be more than happy to address my decision on the air tonight for those like you who have nothing better to do in life than keep track of what fucking high stakes leagues I'm participating in and which ones I'm not! Have a nice day, JD.

Touchy touchy!! Are you off of those banned substances!! Have a nice day MTM!!

News Bulletin:

Mike the Mouth spotted in Bergen County, NJ going for his Manicure and Pedicure
for his appearance this evening on Stats Fantasy Advantage. He wants to look his best, even on the radio!

I have to admit, even I'm looking forward to hearing Ole Blowhard tonight on the show.
He walked the walk last year in his signature event, so he backed up his "talk" and beat the best on the East
Coast. Should have NEVER let him have Clayton Kershaw in Round #2. I must have been "LUNY" to allow this to
happen.

Hope Greg and Tom let you take a call or two Mikey. Can't wait to hear the musings of
Mikey the Mouth. My question is WHY are you having such a hard time filling your signature event Michael?


Have a great show guys. Be listening!

Greg and Tom:

Are you in fear after this evening that the ratings may prompt a Spinoff on Stats?

My one recommendation is that all those who plan on listening to the show tonight turn their volume wayyyyyyyy down. Your ears will thank me.

Glenn:

This is the first time we can actually TURN HIM OFF when he gets carried away!

LMAO! Love you guys as well. I will be sure to give all of you the attention on the show that you deserve.

Sirius XM producer 9:01 tonight.

I'm sure Mike would love his own SiriusXM show. We'd gladly help him get one!!

And we've only been on the air since Jan. 15th of 2013, so we haven't snubbed Mikey for years. We always bring on past champions or those leading contests and Mike has earned his dues with last year's win. It's amazing that he entered the last week of the season in that Super League in 4th place and won by 8 points. It's a great story that we'll enjoy telling. Plus we have a contest to sell out and promote together!!

Yeah, we'll take calls and keep Mike on longer if needed. We'll have fun with this and we have so much to talk about tonight with the Super, Platinum, DCs, his partnership with Scott Fleming, etc. Bring it on. It will be fun.

Mike will look better than all of us on the air tonight. But only he will see that!!

Greg and Tom's ratings "consultant" going over the latest results and recommends drastic measures...

Okay, reset your clocks for this one. We now have Mike "The Mouth" Massotto on at 8:30 pm ET!!! We had to rebook him because the producers could only get a White Sox beat writer on at 9:15 pm ET. The last thing I wanted to do was cut Mikey off in mid-sentence to let him know our next guest was waiting from Goodyear, Arizona!!

8:30 pm ET it is and we'll have a little extra time if questions pour in!!!

Greg:


Can you list the call in # for us on here. Let's see how the Big Fella does when the Chips are down.

A taste of Tonight on Sirius....

Greg:
We'll let Mikey take a phone call now. Bubba from Arkansas, how can Mikey help you?

Innocent Caller:
Yeah, I was offered a trade, this guy wants to give me David Price and I give him Billy Hamilton.. Should I do it?

Mikey:
BUBBA...FIRST OF ALL, MOVE! WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYBODY WANNA LIVE IN ARKANSAS FOR CHRISSAKES!
MOVE OUTTA THAT STATE AND FIND A REAL HOME!
AND GET A REAL NAME! SOMEBODY SAYS 'BUBBA' AND YOU RESPOND? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?

Tom:
Mikey, can you just answer the man's question?

Mikey:
TOM, THIS MAN HAS BIGGER ISSUES THAN FANTASY BASEBALL! BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, IT IS A FANTASY BASEBALL SHOW.
BUBBA LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE USED TO TRADING THREE SQUIRREL FURS AND A JAR OF MOONSHINE FOR REAL GROCERIES DOWN IN ARKANSAS, BUT YOU GOTTA QUIT WITH THE TRADING LEAGUES IN FANTASY BASEBALL!
GOOD DRAFTING SKILLS MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER. IT'S NOT WHETHER YOU CAN GYP YOUR UNCLE LEROY IN A TRADE.
OTHERWISE FANTASY BASEBALL WOULD BE ABOUT WHO THE BEST USED CAR SALESMAN IS.

Caller:
Matter of fact, that's what I do here in Arkansas.

Mikey:
OF COURSE YOU DO, BUBBA. PROBABLY A THRIVING BUSINESS THERE. IT'S HARD TO PICTURE NEW CARS THERE.
HERE'S YOUR ADVICE, BUBBA.
CHANGE YOUR NAME...MOVE OUT OF ARKANSAS...GET A REAL JOB.... QUIT EATING PORK CRACKLINGS...AND QUIT SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON PORN SITES.

Greg:
So Mikey says to keep Hamilton because he may win a whole category for you...ok, Bubba? Thanks.
Alright, looks like it's time to take a break. I want to thank Mike Massotto for being on our show tonight....

Mikey:
GREG, ABOUT THIS KDS THING IN THE BIG LEAGUE.....
GREG?....GREG...MUSTA LOST THE CONNECTION...

This reminds me of a true story.

Back at the 2011 NYC drafts, the NFBC had a Sirius radio show on site at Citifield and Tom asked some of the players if they would mind being interviewed. Mikey and I were two that were asked and ended up being interviewed together.

After some small talk with the hosts where we were asked our NFBC and fantasy baseball history, etc., the hosts opened up the phones for each of us to take a call.

The first call was for me. The question...."What did I think of Jay Bruce as a sleeper?" Ok, not too tough of a question and one that I was thankfully able to respond to without too much difficulty or thought. I was very happy to have gotten a softball as I obviously didn't want to sound like I didn't know what I was talking about.

After my answer, the hosts took one for Mikey.

His question...."In an AL only 22 team keeper auction league, what dollar values would you apply to each of the Red Sox infielders to the 2nd decimal point?" Let's just say I learned that day the true definition of the term "radio silence."

I'm exaggerating, but only slightly. Ahhh memories, these are the times of our lives that make life worth living.

give us a call at 888-XM FANTASY or at 888-963-2682.

Should be a fun show! Enjoy it Mikey!

In case you missed it:

Scott's primary job in the Platinum is to dress well, and keep Mike in check.

Keep Mike in check=prevent him from drafting!!

Unfortunately the screen said "Matt Massotto"

King of Queens wrote:Unfortunately the screen said "Matt Massotto"

That's my cousin actually, so at least they got a family member.

Matt is his stage name! Magic Matt!!

Mike is all talk.

I called into XM early in his appearance and was surprised at not getting a busy signal.
Identified myself as Rob (Ford?) from Toronto and said I wanted to discuss position scarcity at SS.

Listened to his taunts and rants. Very entertaining.
But he wouldn't take my call.

High-tailed it outta there. Couldn't handle the pressure?

Que cera cera. At least Greg/Tom got a topic suggestion out of it.
