Thank You New York
Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2022 8:59 am
Our two days of live events in New York came to a conclusion last night and I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone who came to the Stewart Hotel to take part in the drafts and auctions we held there. I'm not going to say the event was a bit smaller than years past - let's call it leaner and meaner . I will say, however, a great time was absolutely had by all. From the first auction Friday morning until the end of the MTM Ultimate last night there was a tremendous amount of enjoyment and fun in the room and I think I can safely speak for everyone who attended that they were glad they came and took part.
I cannot begin to express enough gratitude to the folks at the Stewart for all of the work they did to help us make this event happen. They were accommodating at every turn and Lord knows there were plenty of turns throughout the lockout. There's a reason why I've enjoyed hosting our NFBC and NFFC events there the past few years and their flexibility and staff's kindness and overall sense of partnership is absolutely at the top of the list. We absolutely could not have made this weekend happen without that.
To all the vets who returned it was great seeing you again and to all the new players who debuted with us it was wonderful meeting you and I hope to see you back again in the future. I know at least one of you will be back at the Stewart for football in September so I look forward to seeing you then.
For the first time in NFBC history New York closed out our Live Events in the NFBC and it felt fitting that the MTM Ultimate was our final event. It's one of our most prestigious events and I wanted to share on the boards some of the thoughts I expressed to the folks at the Stewart about Mike Massotto. Mike has become one of the biggest (some may say loudest ) ambassadors of the NFBC. From pushing the $150 "Fast Draft" DCs to helping create $2,500 DCs and $5,000 DCs which is an incredible expansion of the format, it really speaks to Mike's dedication and love of our contest and this community that I know means a great deal to him.
So I think it really was fitting that the MTM Ultimate closed our live event schedule this year. It was a fantastic draft again this year, featured four hours of coverage on Sirius Radio and everybody had a good time.
Once again, thanks to everyone who attended and next year hopefully there will be no lingering health issues of any kind and we definitely won't have any labor disputes to deal with and New York will be back to normal and we'll have a rousing number of attendees once again. But for this year it was a damn fun two days and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
