Greg, I was think, maybe it might be nice to have something on the NFBC home page for the world to see who the top 10 teams in the NFBC are. You don't have to show much more data, just show who they are and how many points they have. You might get a following of non participants this year who might be players next year if they have an exciting race to follow. Maybe a short column on your part might be nice too.

Good suggestion Plymouth and I agree that advertising the NFBC race outside the game site would create plenty of interest. We will see if there's a way to do that, even if I need to enter that myself on the Home page every day.



That being said, it deserves mention that after a week of games (okay, last week consisted of three games total) our NFBC leader for the $100,000 is none other than Kings of Queens. Don't mean to jinx you buddy, but the masses must know. As of Tuesday, April 6, the Top Ten looks like this:



1. Kings of Queens 1,683 points.

2. Who Dat Is?, 1564

3. Crosley, Field Nash, Young, 1557.5

4. FUPayMe, 1,512.5

5. Fort Lauderdale Tides, 1,464.5

6. DFW Rough Riders, 1,459

7. wemarriedshiksas, 1,457

8. Razor Shines Last Fan, 1,449.5

9. Ride the Puffins, 1,437

10. THE USUAL SUSPECTS, 1,418.5



It's a great start to what should be a great race. Good luck everyone and I'll try to find a way to promote this more often outside the NFBC game site.

Not that I know everyone elses league but I feel that the Chicago #1 league was the best drafted league. We have 3 teams in the top 10 (right now) and all look strong (ours I think being the weakest of the 3). I would say that of 15 teams, only 1 team (who I cant recall their name) made iffy descisions. Lord knows once the beer and Jack kicked in our last 5 picks were horrible. All in all our league was stacked with roto GURU's!



That said. Good luck to everyone for the second place race. Crosley Field Nash, Young are on the loose baby!

Everythings cool, I enjoy sarcasm as much as anyone! I was in 4th overall after the 2nd Japan game, so I went out and spent the winnings that same night (OOOPS, now I am in the low 100s and am out a grand)!
