Will this league be loaded by 1 PM ET so lineups can be set? Most of these online drafts are taking close to 4 hours.

One note for the 9 am ET drafters: The draft room opens the day of the draft, so unfortunately you won't have access to the draft room until 12:01 am tonight. You can still set your draft prep now and that will be your default list once the draft room opens, but the draft room won't open until midnight tonight. Plan accordingly all.

See ya tomorrow morning and let's fill up this last league. Thanks all.

Maybe we could all try to get there a little early, including whoever the admin is for the draft

How about one tonight at midnight?

That said, if you guys want to draft at midnight: bring it on!

Seriously, Geoff has been one of the best additions to the NFBC and he's really only been with us a little more than a year. He worked his ass off this month with us and the results show because people kept coming back for more online drafts. That's a testament to Geoff and Tom working every night of this month and to the STATS software.

We hope to keep Geoff around for more duties in the future, but a lot of that depends on what the NFL does. Geoff knows that and we all know that. We are going to grow our pay-to-play model and any expansion there will allow us to expand our role with Geoff and he knows that. It's my job to create more games and more products so that we can add more great workers like Geoff to our fulltime mix.

Geoff, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I owe you a lot for your hard work this past month and the months before that. You should feel proud of the hard work you turned in. Thanks man.
