I would trade my number 3 for a number 14/15 in almost any other league. Unreal. Next year I will be in a "telephone" league, and that's if you guys don't totally destroy the tiny bit of confidence I got from being lucky last season.



Pete

wow...in between Glenn and Pete this should be fun...

Nobody said it was going to be easy, this is the NFBC. At least 7 main event league champs,Auction league champs,satellite league champs,mag league champ.10 player in this league ranked in the top 250 lifetime,4 in the top 50. This is going to be one hell of a league. I think 7 all nighters and i will be ready. good luck all and see you in 7 days.

Yeah tough competition...gonna have to throw adp out the window and try to screw Glenn and Mike before the turn anyhow..good luck to all



Roy see you at the auction on friday....

Getting ready for next Saturday:

Whats up everyone.... Looking forward to the draft.



Hey Roy I dont know if you remember but I bet you a dollar last year saying kalil Green would be a 20 80 80 guy ... I was wrong ( by a lot) so ill have to dollar at the draft LOL



Love me some beer pong! NICE!

Hello Foot, I'll be waiting for the dollar,but it buying power from last year too now is down to around 75 cent,just enough to buy a shot of beer at the Sheraton(maybe).Green might have a shot at those numbers this year in ST. Louis. We all miss on some projection every year,I made alot bigger bet with a friend that last year Tulowitski whould hit 35 HR and we know how that turned out.not good for me. See you in a few days.

Hey Guys, I am a newbie here and have pick 7. Been taking in all the chat about how tough this league is...thats just great! I guess I will find out how good (or bad) I am here in NYC league 2. Looking forward to draft day and meeting you all, see you there.

See you on Saturday.

Looking forward to draft day and meeting you all, see you there. Jersey - I see you are from Garfield. I grew up there,on Jewel St near Lanza Ave. That seemed like light years ago, but I still had some good times there. Team #2 is from (or at least was from) Elmwood Park. Their family owned a bakery I went to many, many times (named after their family name). I'll bet it's still in business.



This should be a good league. Anyone can get lucky with picks and the health of their players. I almost did not come back last year after finishing my worst year in 2007. With some luck I came in 11th overall. Pick 7 is a sweet spot to be in. Good luck.



Pete

Hey Guys Great and challenging draft. There wasnt left much left at the end. Id like to thank team 5 John from whiteplains for taking atleast 3 player we wanted right before we picked. LOL

I want to wish everyone the best of luck.



Signed ...Eddy Betancourts partner LOL

Agreed - Fun draft, but nobody was falling to anyone. If you wanted a player, you had to reach. That is especially true for anyone at either end of the draft (first 3 and last 3 teams). Not sure what I was thinking on about 3 picks, but that's life. Wishing us all well and hoping the $100K check comes to a player from NY2. We deserve it.



Pete

My first NFBC draft was just what I expected, rough. Kicking myself for a few guys I passed on but overall pretty happy with my team. Can't wait for the season to start!

Hey Joe you just had the best and worst experience of the year . The best being the draft and the worst listening to Roy LOL. Now all you have to do is manage the team ...



2 draft day bets were made for 1 dollar each. Just posting them to remember.

I bet roy 1 dollar Papelbon will have more saves then Rivera.

I bet Eddy 1 dollar Adam Dunn will hit 50 Homers.( its a reach but i have a gut feeling)



Eddy Betancourts partner !lol

Yeah great draft....we reached alot but those were the guys we wanted and knew that the ADP's meant **** in a league draft of this sort.





Anyhow it will be interesting to see how it plays out.. I wish everyone good luck in the hunt for 100,000 not as good as our's though...lol



ok..ok...Mike Wilson is my partner and without him we would have never won a main event league in 2007...his Carlos Pena pickup put us over the top. yadayadayada





Mike Wilson is my partner !!!



There I said it twice are you happy ?

Eddy, it's time to come clean. Everyone knows that DIESEL was responsible for that win in 2007.

hey joe, they just don't understand it's a Jersey thing.I not going to take the Foot or the Badders to D.P.'S anytime soon. The worst all time happen to Eddie and Mike last year sitting next to Fandango all day. mike I can't even come close to that.(unless I drink a bottle of Southern Comfort) then it would be ugly. Good Luck all and Please let the games begin.....I CAN'T WAIT

Glenn..low blow.....okay here's another



Marc (DIESEL) had the mojo...and without him we wouldn't have won our 2007 main event team along with Mike Wilson the brains behind Frozen Ropes...I am nothing but a figure head



Glenn Marc probably convinced you that HE was the reason we won our WCOFF football auction league too and I had nothing to do with it....



I get no respect.....
