Okay, we have one big-money private league that still has openings and it happens to be our last live event of the season. It's the Ultimate Auction League and we've been stuck on 11 owners for some time, so this one needs a push. Scott Fleming is possibly going to return if he can work it out with another owner, so that would bring us to 12. Two other owners from last year's event are also considering this one and we have one who will jump in if everything falls into place. So we're close.



If you just want to tentatively secure a spot now, I'm good with that. We're close and I know we can get this done. Heck, last year we did this with Wayne Gretzky holding a hockey banquet next door and he was outside our window on the balcony with a dozen other NHL Hall of Famers. It was pretty cool. He even asked one of our guys during a break what we were doing in there and we told him it was a fantasy baseball draft. Our guy had a Phillies' jersey on and Wayne said "Draft Utley." Nice.

We now have 13 teams in the Ultimate Auction League as Terry Haney, our 2007 NFBC overall champion, has returned to this great event. We now have ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT FOR THIS ONE!!! I know we can fill this one, which would be our third Ultimate League of the season and our seventh straight season of the NFBC Ultimate Auction League. AWESOME!!!



We have a couple of owners on the fence for this one. Stay in touch all and let me know if you want to secure these last two spots. We don't need your money now, just your commitment. Thanks all.

We're glad to welcome back Kevin Kirves of Lexington, Kentucky to the NFBC Ultimate Auction League. Kevin competed in this event last year and is in the NFBC Main Event the first weekend, but work was starting to get into the way of his second weekend of fun. I'm glad he found a way to get around that and join us again at the Bellagio!! Welcome back Kevin and get ready for another FUN day of auction intensity. See ya there.



Okay, LET'S FILL THIS BABY UP!! Who wants it?
