Mia's Draft Is Full
Mia's Draft Is Full
The Mia Draft premiered last year. It was a draft organized to support an NFBC veteran, Roger Martin, whose daughter, Mia, had to undergo brain surgery twice.
Mia is fully recovered and this story had a very happy ending.
Most of us in this draft would like to see the 'Mia Draft' become an annual event. It'll serve as a reminder that there is a brotherhood among NFBC drafters while we are trying kick each others ass on a fantasy level.
We are full for this draft. It'll start soon within a couple of days after Roger films Mia announcing draft picks.
It is a $400 league,
First Place- $3000
Second place- $1100
Third Place $400
The best part is that no KDS will be needed. Mia will be drawing names out of a hat on a youtube feed with a link on these pages and try her best to announce each drafter's name.
To anybody who missed it last year, it's damn cute.

As far as speed in drafting, the participants are used to quick drafts. We won't be looking to set a record, but we should be done within a week to 10 days and a cell phone number to MTM will be required.

After mike massato tried to publicly shame me, I will take any opportunity I can get to beat him. I'll take a spot if you'll have me.

Re: Mia's Draft
All I can say is, "Wow"!. This is going to turn out to be quite the rogue's gallery of some of the who's who of talent in the NFBC (except for Rassmusson, of course
). Can't wait and truly honored to be back as one of the inaugural members of the first Mia draft when all of us didn't even know that it would turn into being Mia's draft.
So happy that it did, and will continue to be so hopefully for many, many years to come...although more than likely Greg and Tom will be dead and buried or at the very least bankrupt long before then, so we'll have to take the show on the road somewhere else.
Thank you folks, I'll be here for the entire draft...

Re: Mia's Draft Is Full
Let's get these boards on a more positive note. Rog, when can we expect Mia to put a smile on everyone's face with the selection of our draft order?
Re: Mia's Draft Is Full
It was going to be tonight but things didn't work out as planned(somebody has a head cold). It will be tom. Thanks all for being patient.

Re: Mia's Draft Is Full
Get your focus back on the $1000 DC, Michael and get this bad-boy moving. Christie-Manger are on the clock and probably konked out while I am caught right behind them and ready to pick. And not exactly sure why I am picturing this:

Re: Mia's Draft Is Full
To add a little bit of drama to Mia's picks this year. When pulling them from the hat, she will be picking in descending order.
First name picked is 15th drafter, second is 14th, etc, etc.
A post will be added by Rog with a link to Mia tonight on this thread.
I'll shoot the names and draft spots to Tom/Greg tomorrow and we should be picking on Thursday. Enjoy.

MTM might finally get his wish of being picked 1st, given this news

Holy Jesus Lord Mother of God and all that is good in heaven! Thank you for small miracles! And the getting the number one overall pick for once in my life was nice, too, Mia!
Love ya kiddo. Just made my week.
