Anybody know if the Online Double Play drafts occuring next Tues/Weds will have draft orders announced today as well? Not now. I'll ask Tom if he was going to pull those this afternoon. If so, we can post later today.

Now remember, I'm doing this on a laptop on a hotel Internet connection. My mouse doesn't even work. So this may take a little longer than usual. We'll see. Be patient with this old man so early in the morning.

Okay, which city goes first??

It's gonna be 70 degrees in the east coast today. make this special day even better, Give us our draft picks first so we can all go out for lunch and enjoy the day and not wait for picks.

It will take less time to post Chicago. I think that's the obvious choice.

For the newbies, here's how we will do this. At the top of the hour, I'll announce which city I'll do first and then I'll move to the League Forum, where I'll announce each League in that city one by one. I'll finish every league in that city and then come back to the General NFBC Discusson Forum and post the entire city's leagues. Then I'll announce here which city is next and do the same thing, first in the League Forum and then here. Then we'll get to the third city.

I do that so that each league has its own Forum to smack talk and introduce themselves to fellow league members, etc. Should be fun. Enjoy the process and good luck everyone. Someone from these 435 members is going to win a GUARANTEED $100,000 grand prize.

TEN MINUTES TO DRAFT SPOTS!!!

Only 96 Message Board Members. I might have to wait until everyone shows up. It's like a ballgame that holds up to allow the traffic to flow in. What do you think, should we wait for the crowd?

I don't know what the "league announcement" is like for you all, but for me the site is ULTRA slow, and every post comes up the same and wrong for each league. MAJOR LETDOWN.

Wow, the Internet connection here or the NFBC site is incredibly slow. Sorry for the meltdown there. The Word document I brought with me is corrupt. I'll just have to take the league orders from an email I sent myself.

Sorry for the delay. All of the New York threads should be updated now and correct. I'll post Chicago's three leagues as fast as I can, then do the three Online leagues and then Las Vegas. See ya in the League Forums now for Chicago.
