NFBC Message Boards

We were looking for an NFBC guest for our show tonight on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio and we rewarded the one and only owner who has never ruffled a feather on the Message Boards. It was an easy choice: Dave Potts!!

Dave will join Tom and myself to start the Second Hour at 11 pm ET on SiriusXM 210/87. We'll reminisce about Dave's 2012 NFFC Main Event overall title, about the $1 million he won in the Fanduel Fantasy Baseball Championship, and about that great NFBC Ultimate Auction League title he won last year. We'll have some fun and push the envelope a bit on some player values. Should be a lot of fun, so join us.

We'll also preview the Kansas City Royals with a beat writer at 10:15 pm ET and we'll bring in Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.com for some baseball analysis at 11:30 pm ET. We're also previewing First Base at 10:30 and doing our ADPs at 10:45.

Tune in and we'll have some fun tonight.

Hope Dave gives up a little more info than Juprinka! That guy doesn't give ice in the winter!!

Put today's message board on the air and you could guest host for Stern tonight.

These were some fun stats that we had on last week's show:

** Who has the longest active streak of 200+ innings pitched seasons? Mark Buehrle at 14. James Shields and Justin Verlander are next with 8. Buehrle's active streak of 14 seasons with 200+ IP is the longest since 1994. Next was Mike Mussina from 1995-2003 (9).

** Which MLB team has had the longest playoff drought? Toronto going on 22 years. Last playoff appearance was 1993, the year they won it all. Other long MLB playoff droughts: Seattle last appearance 2001; Miami 2003; Houston 2005; Mets and Padres 2006.

** Which MLB team has the longest drought without a playoff series win? Pittsburgh's last playoff series win was 1979 (We Are Family).

** Which MLB players have been with current teams the longest? Chase Utley (Phillies) and David Ortiz (Red Sox) each entering 13th seasons.

** Even with instant replay last year, manager ejections were up to highest level (90) since 2011 (99). Crazy stat.

I think I'm going to start tonight's show with a rant against Charles Barkley's rant against analytics in the NBA. The mainstream media is giving Sir Charles a pass on this one. He obviously has a beef with the Rockets' organization and he's calling GM Daryl Morey (a former STATS employee) an idiot for using analytics. It's insane to think that analytics don't help EVERY NBA team. They are used more for the coaching staffs than the GMs. Charles, you don't build a team around analytics, you coach around analytics. Anyway, watch out. I may go off on Charles after today's work day. Could be fun.

Point made alright. Chris, you are HANDS DOWN, the biggest ASSHOLE I have seen grace these boards in 11 years.

I know it'll come as a complement to you. Which is why I was hesitant to post it. But I just had to go on record.

Thanks Todd and thanks to Dave for doing a great job on the show again. I've said it before but one of the main reasons Greg and I love doing the show is it affords us the opportunity to showcase the best fantasy players in the industry. Dave was being a bit modest when he said he wouldn't include himself in that company but I think we can all agree based on his great success he most certainly belongs.

Thanks again to Dave for joining us and knocking it out of the park last night.
