NFBC Message Boards

Hey everyone. Bored like me with all sports frozen? Getting money back from cancelled live auctions today or early tomorrow and still wanna auction? You can use those funds for this.

Darik is setting up a stand alone online 15 team auction on NFBC for Sunday at 1 pm EST. FAAB. $750. If you want in, I need to know right away. [email protected] or text or PM me. Will pay top 3

Andy, nice job giving fellow die-hards an auction fix on Sunday. You guys are amazing as you filled up a $750 15-team auction easily. Enjoy the battle in the online auction room and let's hope we have more of those in the next 6 (I hope only 6) weeks to come.

What an aweaome auction. These guys crushed it. 3 hours 35 minutes total for auction and reserves total!

Ill post my team in a bit.

Really tough room, but, man, that was fun!

For those on the fence, definitely encourage folks to draft some during this down period. Although I was totally bummed about everything going on, including but not limited to cancellation of the live events that I so look forward to every year, having this auction scheduled for Sunday definitely gave me something to look forward to all weekend. Once the auction started, I was able to forget everything else - at least temporarily - and just focus on trying to draft the best possible team. The usual fun and excitement of drafting was there. Is there a ton of uncertainty given the timing of the season, and how it impacts certain injured players? Sure, of course, but everyone was working under the same conditions, so it was a level playing field, which is all you can ask for really.

Anyway, I had a great time drafting (even if the other bastards - I mean owners - kept bidding up the guys I wanted).

Looking forward to starting a DC team of some type later this week. Might even be up for another one of these auction satellites depending on the date and time, etc. Kudos and thanks to Andy for setting this up.

I hear you, Mike. As that auction began, I found myself smiling for the maybe the first time all weekend.

I think that makes sense, Andy. I'm not going to need 30+ teams for an abbreviated schedule.

Now I'm just hoping he signs with the Rockies and not the Chunichi Dragons.
