NFBC Message Boards

For those that haven't seen, check out how many times Eddie Gillis has cashed in both the NFBC and NFFC on another board...it started out with gekko trying to tout himself again, but we all know he only won once and only 50k...Eddies accomplishments are eye opening...you should post more Eddie..

I know the leagues and draft orders are supposed to be random, but if Greg could please put Cindy and Gekko drafting side by side in the same league, we'll all turn a blind eye - and then enjoy the fireworks on draft day.



As far as Eddie goes, last year was my first year playing in the NFBC and after reading up on as many participants as I could, I decided the one guy I DIDN'T WANT to be in a league with was Eddie - because of his talent.



Well, not only were we in the same league - I drafted one and he drafted two, so we sat next to each other. The man KNOWS HIS STUFF - and he's as nice a guy as he is knowledgeable. The amount of his winnings comes as no surprise to me.

I saw Eddies pic too...not only is he talented, but pretty intimadating as well, I wouldn't want to play him in poker

Thank you guys for the kind words.I really had the year in the NFFC winning 4 leagues, and take pride in every league i enter.I THINK the players in the NFFC and NFBC know the top players.GUYS like cc desparado's, lumpys losers, king of queens and nate ravitz, these are just a few guys i totally respect.I need to bounce back this year in baseball , last year i came close but didnt cash in.I came in 77th overall , and thats not good enough. In the auction i was 2nd with a week to go , but 2 guys passed me to put me away. The ultimate was a nightmare , i will never take a pitcher again in the 1st rd. JASON SCHIMDT pick 14.Ive got all my magazines out , and putting my plan together, im taking the wife to JAMAICA this week , [on the NFFC] then be back early march.Very pumped up going to VEGAS 17, 18 19 ,AND GOING againest some of the best.

Hope you guys have a good year in NEW YORK.

since you listed all of your winnings on another thread, what about all the money you've blown in entry fees? how many ultimates have you been in?



how are you doing in the basketball league?

I am one for two in the ultimate leagues. So i am way ahead. LIFETIME in baseball , i think im 25th. I also feel like you that baseball is much more skill , then football. Going into my 3rd nfbc, like some other players is a huge advantage. You learn every year from your mistakes, or risks.

I just noticed your basketball question. You will leave no rock unturned.I have a question for you . How much money have you lost in baseball. thank you.

2005 --> had team that coulda done some major damage, if rocks like thome and foulke would done what they did for the last 5+ years

2006 --> The Year of Gekko

GEKKO are you doing any of the sat leagues , they are great warmups. I did a 250.00 draft last night with some very good fantasy players.

AGAIN the speed was gone fast pierre podsednik,figgins , reyes , jeter, and rollins all gone in round 2. I had pick 13 went crawford who slide a little bit , was planning on a middle speed guy in rd two , but M CABRERA was their. So dont have the middle i wanted .

I ran into that guy todd zola 6 times , it was like he was reading my mine. One of my kids came in my room asking what all the yelling was , I SAID ZOLA. jUST A SNEAK Peek to all in my draft.

have a nice day.

i'd be very interested in seeing who else you were able to get on your team. sounds like a great foundation though. good work!

Awwww... Can you feel the love??? You two are too cute!

JETER 23 steals 2004 , yes he can go over 20 , with the 122 runs.Really showing the middle infielders went fast.

C.Young at 15 looks real nice..

Eddie,

A power ladened lineup should be great for HR, RBI and runs, average in SB, below average in AVG.

Hey guys, just a heads up that we don't want to advertise the results of our Satellite Leagues on the boards. It's cool if you guys want to talk among yourselves via PM or e-mail but these leagues are for the Satellite League owners so let's keep the results private, ok?



Thanks.

I do have some low bavg, but some of the main hitters.

3 year bavg.

M GILES 305

M CABRERA 300

C CRAWFORD 293

R IBANEZ 292

M BRADLEY 290

G JENKINS 283

H BLAYLOCK 279

It might be a little better than you think, im hoping for blaylock at least 290.

Thanks. Yes, but then we wouldn't have found out about "The Big Sexy"

SORRY TOM, I dont mind anybody looking at my picks , as you can see , but i wont give up any other picks. I did mention one of TODD'S PICKS, sorry TODD if you didnt want any of your picks out their. I know how guys like to compare drafts, it makes the message boards a little more fun.

You're right Eddie and no need to apologize. But I know a lot of the Satellite owners like to keep those leagues private and we just want to respect their wishes.
