Do You Want To Face Jeff Erickson & Derek VanRiper?

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Wed Feb 29, 2012 11:28 am

We're happy to report that Rotowire.com's Jeff Erickson and Derek Van Riper have separate NFBC Main Event teams in Las Vegas and these industry writers are putting their money where their mouths are. You can hear these guys every day on SiriusXM Fantasy Channel and you can read their columns on Rotowire.com, but now they are even allowing you to compete with them in the NFBC for the $100,000 grand prize. Great stuff from this industry site.

Because of our great relationship with Rotowire.com, we're trying to do even more with them and this week we decided to create a special NFBC Satellite League that allows you to "Compete Against Jeff and DVR." That's right, we'll host two private NFBC Satellite Leagues for Rotowire customers and anyone who wants to compete against these industry writers. Prize money will be the same as our $125 and $150 leagues, but this one will come with a little more notoriety and maybe even an interview on Rotowire's SiriusXM show if you're kicking their tails during the season!! ;)

We haven't created a special signup thread for this one, so let's do it this way. If you want to compete in either of these two offerings against Jeff or Derek, just post your desire on this thread or email me at [email protected]. Once we have a full league, I'll have you sign up online and I'll know to place you in these special leagues. So don't sign up online just yet; contact me first.

Here's the details:

NFBC/Rotowire $125, 15-Team NFBC Satellite League

If you join Erickson's league, don't plan on getting Brett Lawrie unless you jump on him in the 2nd.

NFBC vets are good at game selection too - they know where to find the soft spots!

Can't wait guys - should be a lot of fun, and good practice for the Main Event!
