Seems like we have the overall number 1, 16, 48, 56, 79,116, 162 and 173 in our league. Artie is the 162, so if you thought he was the top, wait till you look closer. Matt Mickle is #1 lifetime.

Hey - you never know right?

Pete [/QUOTE]Childs should be #1 lifetime (faulty ranking system) with 3 finishes in the Top 5 in 4 yrs. Mickle has two impressive seasons out of two; but he needs another great season and/or to beat Childs this yr to earn that #1.

So I've got the #1 overall ranked player on my left, and a TV star on my right? Should be fun

Agreed that Childs should be #1 he is the guy to beat. Good luck everyone should be fun.

You have done awesome, and are a top notch player for certain.

I also believe Shawn should be ranked as the top overall player...despite a poorish 2006.

But...Mr. Kenyon...if not for an "add-on" game after 162 were played in 2007...would have placed higher than Shawn in all three of his years playing this main event.

That brings me to question whether or not the "add-on" game should count in the NFBC. I know it's considered regular season...but it sure seems like an unfair advantage having more than 162 possible games played.

All of the top guys have very impressive resumes.

Good Luck again in 2008!

Had a blast today at the draft. It was great to meet some of you guys who's names I've seen on the boards often. Good luck everyone.

I had a great time too. Very tuff competition. I'll do my best to hang with the pack as long as possible. Lets get the $100K winner from New Your 5.

Good Luck everyone this is going to be a very competitive league. I had a good time on draft day everything went smoothly. Thanks to the two guys working our draft they did a great job and the guy running the show clearly enjoys what he is doing and did it well. Again good luck everyone
