NFBC Message Boards

With Wall Street II in production, I felt it necessary to retire the "old" Gordon Gekko moniker and begin my quest for $100,000 with Gordon Gekko II.



Thanks to all my friends who made this possible:

Greg A

Glenn S

Bill W

Dan K

Kevin D

and many others.



And now to the preview...



2009 NFBC Preview

I think the only one who could stop GG is......Mark Srebro....after all if you don't enter, you can't possibly Win!

We already have the least surprising event of 2009 over with. What can possibly happen next?



I did enjoy the vid.

i spent a couple hours yeaterday coming up with it. uploaded to youtube this morning and they said the song i originally chose was copyrighted and they wouldn,'t post my video. bastards! had to choose one of youtube's song selections. still came out alright, but i wanted a much different song!

Awesome video. My kids loved it!!! Let me see if I can find some other compromising pictures of some of those NFBC favorites for your next video!! Heck, I must even have some compromising pictures of you from Las Vegas, don't I??



Welcome aboard and get ready to talk some baseball soon. My Fact or Fiction series (courtesy of BaseballHQ's AFL Symposium) starts tomorrow with first basemen.

It's good to see they reduced your jail time to one month. I still don't see your name on the sign up sheet.

Great video. Just in time for the start of 2009.

Good stuff, Mark! I am shocked you are back! (sarcasm )

My six year old turned and ran at the Halloween mask shot...conditioned it was one of those "bait you in and BAMN!...an exorcist closeup accompanied by a loud scream!" videos he saw by accident while looking at Halloween Simpson video's on YouTube with me.



Talk about developing Posttraumatic stress disorder at an early age!!!

~Lance I've seen that YouTube video Lance. I was TERRIFIED of the Exorcist when I was 12. Had nightmares for MONTHS.



Still the scariest movie I have ever seen...hands down.

[/QUOTE]It is frustrating to have to go back and edit! Hate hearing that YouTube is checking songs now! I recently joined Facebook and they don't have copyright checking on their vids AND they allow higher quality of vids to be put up...

Good to see you come back Mark! Nice video.



I can't wait to get back out to Vegas...less than 80 days till draft day.
