Wheres Ron Shandler? You'd think he'd be joining up as he knows all.

Is there anyone, particularly in Vegas, video taping the draft? I think it would be nice to buy a video of everyone. Plus I could proove to my wife I was actually there and didn't blow all the money on strippers.

Hi Tom. Have the nomination orders been picked for the LV Mixed Auction leagues?

I would video the strippers and let your wife think you wasted the money gambling

Where are the seven fence sitters drafting if they sign up? The underlying/real question is what will you do if one of them in a NYC player making that city a plus 1. You are likely past the "we are working on not having that situation occur" point of time.

You are likely past the "we are working on not having that situation occur" point of time. Actually, we're close to filling up all of the leagues with everyone in the city. It's not looking like we'll have any mixed city drafts on Saturday.

no mixed drafts would be great. The biggest fear many of us had was a draft with just one person - I do enough intranet drafts already and I didn't need the NFBC to effectively be one too. Part of the fun is seeing your opposition and maybe even getting to know them.

Has Vegas established the odds on who will win the NFBC yet? Last I heard I was at 300:1! I love being the underdog. Or being Southern, should I say underdawg!

Much like the experts who tout their service, when it comes time to "tell us so," you'll have plenty of ammunition.

I am one of the sheep. Now,I can call myself one of the top 300 fantasy baseball players in the Nation. The fun thing is that I think I know the top 300 fantasy baseball players already. Figured that my changes were better then 80 to 1 or I wouldn't placed $1,250 on the line.

80% of drivers think they are "above average". I am quite certain that the same logic applies here.
