March Madness In Las Vegas IS HERE!!

[Greg Ambrosius]

It's hard to believe, but in ONLY 35 DAYS many of us will be in Las Vegas preparing for NFBC drafts and stepping up to the window to place our bets on the first games of March Madness!! Let me just give you some advice on the latter one: This year's NCAA Tournament is WIDE OPEN and picking winners will not be easy!! Okay, you've been forewarned.

In fact, always bet on the opposite team that I bet on!! I'm terrible at this True or False experience. I always pick the wrong team. But hey, I have fun doing it.

But it's hard to believe we are only 35 days away. NCAA Viewing Party is 35 days away. Auctions are 36 days away. Main Events are 36-37 days away. Opening Day is 45 days away. Man, this is coming up fast. LOCK IN EVERYONE, DRAFT DAY IS NEAR!!

Get your travel plans locked in and get your Cheat Sheets updated. Baseball is right around the corner. Thanks all and Tom and I will be in Las Vegas 35 days from now to greet you to Sin City. CAN'T WAIT!!

Greg, great job picking up the mantle and running with the Countdown this year.
Looking forward to seeing this each day.

However, if you are going to run with this, please do it right.
A few basic rules and principles we've all agreed to live by with the Countdown in previous seasons:


1 - There must be a Mets tie-in as such.....


Only 34 Days 'til the 2013 NFBC.....



2 - There must be an NFBC tie-in that also ties into the Mets tie-in as such......


When we get our next opportunity to chase the $100,000 grand prize......



3 - And finally and of course most importantly, there must be the obligatory boob pic that ties into both.....


.....and when in Vegas, please try to stay out of the strip clubs until after you draft.



Obviously just kidding. All kidding aside however, it's less than 5 weeks 'til Vegas and I can't wait.
Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else out there.

PS - One more thing, you should have started with number 41.

[ALL-IN JD]

Glen,

What number will Justin Upton, I mean Michael Bourn, I mean Marlon Byrd be wearing?

[Quahogs]

[ALL-IN JD]

Some might say there are five boobs!!!

[Baseball Furies]

NOW ONLY 33 DAYS TO MARCH MADNESS AND OUR NCAA VIEWING PARTY!!

In honor of two weekends of live drafts and Main Events, how about good old Back-to-Back no-hitters himself....

#33 Johnny Vander Meer

[Baseball Furies]

How about this one in honor of the "Kid" in all of us that this game brings out? Absolutely CANNOT WAIT!!!

[DOUGHBOYS]

And somebody in Farmingville, NY just did a fist pump...

[ALL-IN JD]

Dan,

As a Farmingville resident I can assure you there was no fist pump!!!

[Quahogs]

Dan,

As a Farmingville resident I can assure you there was no fist pump!!!

Nope, no fist pump in Farmingville. Farmingville residents like Dobies and Lowry never had a need to move off the old reliable HIGH FIVE !

[Edwards Kings]

Getting a jump on #32!

[Greg Ambrosius]

NICE ONE WAYNE!!! Was there any better 32 -- in this sport, we can't include a photo of Magic Johnson here -- than Sandy Koufax? Beautiful.

Ahhhhh, watching Duke lose yesterday reminded me of all the favorites I've bet on through the years on the first day of March Madness. Now ONLY 32 DAYS until I get to lose more money in the Bellagio sportsbook. Oh well, at least I'll have a bunch of you folks around me with the same losing tickets! I'm going all underdogs this year!!

ONLY 32 DAYS UNTIL THE NCAA VIEWING PARTY!! CAN'T WAIT!!

[Glenneration X]

Wayne, great call with Mr. Koufax, one of the greatest if not the greatest lefty in baseball history.

Of course, with Greg starting the Countdown at number 35, and therefore neglecting the opportunity for us to celebrate the immortal numbers 41 and 36 in true Mets fashion, we'll use this number as our queue to throw out another of the greatest lefties in baseball history and the 3rd member of that truly historic rotation......


Only 32 Days 'til our NFBC Vegas weekend!! Like everyone else, I CAN NOT WAIT!

PS - Doughy, there was a lot of fist pumping in the "good part" of Farmingville.
One block over where the Dobies reside is where the undesirables live (or as we like to call 'em, Yankees fans )
