NFFC Names 7 Owners To Hall Of Fame

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:31 am

After 10 years of hosting drafts in the National Fantasy Football Championship, we finally created a Hall of Fame to honor the best of the best. We waited 10 years and chose to honor the very best in this inaugural class, showcasing many of those owners who have consistently won for the last 8-10 years. There was one owner who has been with us only 5 years, but he has been so good that we just had to put him in the Hall of Fame!! ;)

Anyway, we know that many of you know these folks and have competed with these folks, so I wanted to make sure you saw the news here first. It's amazing how some of these folks can dominate at baseball and football. But kudos to all 7 of our players listed below.

We currently have only 3 owners in our NFBC Hall of Fame and we definitely need to update that this year. We definitely will be honoring more champions in this contest this spring, so look for that info this off-season. We have so many deserving candidates that we will always leave someone out, but we'll definitely add those each year who deserve a spot in the HOF.

I think I see a few deserving candidates now who are doing well again this year. Good luck all the rest of the way.

Here is our inaugural list of NFFC Hall of Famers and their accomplishments. We'll be celebrating them at our live events in New York, Las Vegas and Chicago, so if you plan on playing football this year be ready to toast them on Draft Day:

JULES MCLEAN
Jules has been with the NFFC for 9 years, having joined our competition in 2005 and during that time she is the only person to win 5 Classic League titles, which means she’s won 5 of 9 14-team league titles. The Classic is our toughest competition and Jules is the only person to ever win 5 league titles. She’s batting .555 in a contest where your odds of winning a league title are 7%. She’s 48th on our Career Money Earnings list with $39,000, but one of these days she’s going to win an overall title. She’s an assistant to Hollywood film director Quentin Tarantino, she’s also recognized as the best female fantasy player in the industry, she’s also the owner of the web site fantasyfreakinfootball.com and she’s now an NFFC Hall of Famer.

CHAD SCHROEDER
Chad is the only one on this list who has been competing with us for 5 years or less, but he truly is so good that he deserves this honor in such a short time. He’s recognized throughtout the industry as one of the very best fantasy football players around and that includes season long and daily games. Chad has won 4 Primetime titles with us and he won the 2010 Primetime overall title in 2010 when that grand prize was $50,000. He’s first on the all-time Career Money List with $390,750 in five seasons and 15th in the NFBC Career Earnings List with $118,750. having also won . He finished 4th overall in the Classic last year and 2nd overall in the Online Championship. He’s also won 2 Diamond League titles, an Ultimate League title in 2013, a Super League title in 2011 and he had three teams in our Top 7 overall in the Online Championship last year. .

CHRIS VACCARO
Chris has been with us since 2004 as well and is third on the Career Monday List with $202,850 in winnings. He’s won 3 Primetime league titles and he was our overall champion and $100,000 winner in 2012. He then came back and led the Primetime regular season points race last year before finishing 10th overall. Chris also finished 4th overall in the Primetime in 2010 and has won Super League titles in 2010 and 2012.

TOM YATES
Tom is a Steelers’ die-hard who always wears Steelers uniforms to the live drafts. Lately he’s been wearing those gaudy throwback jerseys and he looks like a large bumble bee. But he’s one of the funniest guys in our industry and one of the very best players as well. He’s 5th on the Career Money Winners List with $137,400 and since joining us in 2006 he’s won 3 Primetime League titles, 2 Classic League titles and our $100,000 grand prize in 2008 as the Classic overall champion.

DEREK ANDERSON/KYLE POPE
Derek & Kyle have been with us since 2004 and have won multiple league titles in multiple formats. We definitely wanted to honor those owners who have proven they can win in any format and Lumpy and Kyle are among the best in that regard. They have won 4 14-team Draft Champions League titles, 3 Classic league titles and 2 Primetime league titles. They rank 29th on all-time money list at $75,900 after finishing 4th overall in the 2008 Primetime and 7th overall in the 2005 Classic, but more importantly they’ve won in 12-team, 14-team and in DC formats. They’ve done it all.

MICHAEL EDELMAN
Michael has been an NFFC and NFBC member since 2004 and he ranks as one of the very best in football and baseball. In the last 10 years, he has won 3 Primetime league titles, 2 Classic league titles and 3 14-team Auction league titles, while finishing 3rd overall in the 2006 Classic. He ranks 34th on all-time money list with $66,650. But like Derek and Kyle before him, Michael has proven that he can win in any league format and he’s among the very best at 12-team, 14-team and auction formats.

BILLY WASOSKY
Billy is another 10-year Charter Member of the NFFC. Billy has won 2 Classic league titles since 2004, 1 Primetime league title, 3 Draft Champions titles in a special private league we run each year and a Super League title in 2010. He finished 3rd in the Classic overall race last year and is recognized in the industry as one of the toughest players in any format. Billy is 30th on the all-time money list with $71,850. He’s definitely one of the best and a member of our NFFC Hall of Fame.

I think Jules if she had the time would have ended up in the baseball hall of fame for the NFBC.

It is cool how the NFFC/NFBC embraces the history of the contests. Is there a place to see previous season results? Both league results and overall post season results?

If you go to Overall Standings in the NFBC, there are links for each season in all of our contests.

If you are talking about the NFFC, we have the same type of links under Overall Standings and yes they are broken down by the regular season and the post-season. What we are missing from both are Lifetime Standings, although KJ's methodology for baseball is probably as good as it gets and he's doing the same thing for football now.
