Conversation starter while we're waiting....

What happens first-

Someone cries about getting their last choice or...

Gekko exclaims domination as he gets the pick of his choice

Picture a 5 year olds birthday party.

6 kids sitting around in a circle watching the birthday boy open the presents.

All the kids have been warned ahead of time by their parents, “Remember, this is Joes’ BD. You just watch politely as he opens his gifts and don’t forget to say happy birthday”

All the kids do as they are told, but you can see the look on their face as one child gets gifts and they just get to watch.

For those of us playing during week two (forced smile on my face), I say to week one owners ……. Happy Birthday………

After all the crap you guys and gals put me through during the season, the least I can do is torture you with these draft picks...AND LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!!

Trust me, I enjoy this as much as you guys do and it's fun to play it out this way.

Okay, here's the process and we'll get through this quickly because I do have a meeting to attend to. I will announce when I'll post each city, starting with:

Las Vegas

Atlantic City

St. Louis

Then I'll post each league individually in the LEAGUE FORUM. Just go over there, hit refresh a few times and you'll see the leagues loaded as separate threads. Do your league smack talking over there and continue it through Draft Day and during the season.

I'll announce here when I'm done with Las Vegas and post all of the leagues in one separate thread within the NFBC General Discussion. That will be the place for all of the leagues. When I'm done with Las Vegas I'll do the same process for Atlantic City and then St. Louis.

And then the first weekend will be set. Sound good?

Okay, what the heck, let's get this started. Here we go on the League Forums RIGHT NOW with the four Las Vegas leagues. Are you ready to start the baseball season??

Las Vegas League 1, you are up to bat!!!

Okay, now that's more like it: 155 members on the boards to watch the proceedings!!! Are we having fun yet??

I lied about the order: Let's do St. Louis next since we already did the LV/STL combo league. St. Louis 1 now on the League Forum. Come join me.

[/QUOTE]Hey, I'm going pretty fast, aren't I??

Besides, officially it's St. Louis over Atlantic City, which makes sense!!

Okay, Atlantic City is up to bat. Let's post three leagues over in the League Forum and be done for the day. Thanks all for joining us today and look for the videos next week. You'll love to see where you were randomly pulled out of the hat....er by the computer.

And there you have it, the draft orders for the first weekend main events!!! Awesome job everyone. I love it.

We will have 315 more main event draft spots next week. Stay tuned for details and it will be done the same way as this format. Good luck all. Someone out there is going to win this $100,000 grand prize!!
