Greg- Did you ever get with KJ, as he requested on 01/28, to see if you could find a way to ensure that it's random, or is it just easier to ignore those kind of questions and call your customers crybabies instead?

I emailed you personally about this, but sure I'll gladly discuss here. And I'm not brushing this or the random selections off or anything else off. When issues are brought up, we take it right to our IT group and almost every time they address it when there's a problem. We want the improvements mo...

We can't be more transparent than this... There's no crying in baseball. Just good managing. You still haven't been transparent on why your FAAB didn't work according to your rules last year, or what is being done to fix that this year. Why is it that every time someone brings up potential issues w...

Sorry your thread isn't about you anymore Gekko!! Time to return to that subject. Or you could answer these questions that I've asked over and over again. Was the same thing that caused it in place during the weeks prior to the final week? Are you 100% sure that these were the only two instances th...

Ty, I get it but you likely won’t ever get the response you and your partner are looking for. There was a case in an Ultimate league where 30 minutes before the FAAB deadline, Tom reversed a player being dropped from the PRIOR week. Not only is that crazy in itself, but the player was allowed to be...

You are correct. There were two $1 bids in Week 27 that we had to manually correct after you and another owner alerted us to this problem. You are right, we likely would not have caught those two mistakes without the help of both owners. We know what the problem was, what caused it in that final we...

Not sure what you are referring to here Ty, but I assume it involves the tied bids you asked about late in the year. All FAAB bids did go to the right owners this year. If the question is about tied bids, this was explained to you. The system will display two teams with $1 bids and I believe you qu...

Good post, Gekko. I have to agree with most of your points. It's hard to understand how that Morton situation happened. I do like the upgrades that were made to the draft room and FAAB interface. The drag and drop feature is much better than the previous version of FAAB. The one thing that I would a...

And Tom, could you be a doll and just drop my winnings in the mail to me tomorrow via FedEx instead of regular old snail mail? Not sure how much the Pony Express has thawed out by now out your way. This way I can get the check by Thursday. This would be great. Thanks! :D ;) Lol at your expectations...

Is there any update on the ability of moving players positions after some games have locked? This is such a significant problem that is made to be even more significant with all of the postponements. A lot of area's have gone forward, this one is a big step backwards. Right Joe. This is also the pr...

What is the ETA now for getting checks out and how will it be handled going forward? Will you start sending checks out tomorrow for those that have claimed their winnings, or are you waiting for everybody/nearly everybody to claim their winnings, and then processing as one big batch?

Ty, the benefit is that it gets deposited quicker going forward and you can pay for some of your 2018 NFBC contests with these winnings. If you want it all paid in full, just tell us that on Monday and we'll quickly get a check out to you. We hope to offer Direct Deposits next year, but it's not av...

so didi is good offense- average d? sounds like jeter. This was my initial thought as well. I have always been on the "Jeter was overrated as a player" (Not a as a leader) bandwagon, so leave it to me to compare Didi Gregorius to a HOFer. Then I heard on a show that Gregorius' career year this seas...

Hi Greg. Can you further explain the benefits of these new player accounts for those of us that don't want to keep money on account/don't play other sports? The things I'm most interested in: Direct deposit- This has been talked about on these boards as though it was going to happen ever since the l...

I believe my post from Yah Mule's thread in the preseason still reflect my thoughts on this matter. All I ask is that those who choose to tank not to come back from the dead after half the league or more, but not all teams, have passed them in counting stats. I've only experienced this a hand full o...

Greg, you keep bringing up that this is a skill- based game, but then you want to add a game on the end that is pure happenstance. How is there any skill whatsoever involved in that? You can talk about owners FAABing those players all you want, but we all know that the most impactful players in any ...

Normally I don't like to post about changing pitching mid-week, but I'll add this. By having pitching changes twice a week, it rewards owners who have in edge in pitching depth when they have it. If you have four closers in April, you can gain an earlier edge in saves while not getting killed in wi...

This is an interesting topic. It's one I've thought a lot about, and discussed thoroughly with others in the past. I don't think either approach mentioned here is wrong. It's all about being consistent imo. Several years ago I was in a league that had an owner go almost a month without changing his ...

The opposite of "you seemed to not be ready with your rankings." is not letting falling players get by you. I don't think you'd mind me sharing that you got Bumgarner with the 7th pick of the 2nd round and Hendricks (the guy I was considering at pick 5.2) at pick 6.7. I'd take those as my first 2 s...

Good write up. I was in this league with you. Definitely one of the more interesting drafts I've been in since I started playing at the NFBC. I came out feeling like Hell Bent for Leather got the best of us on paper in this one. Of course, if the team is constructed right, that is going to be the ca...

I've been waiting for this, Dan. Each time I see RotoBro go on a tangent about value, or him winning the league projections, I imagine you smashing a bag of cool ranch Doritos. You're the best! Good luck this season.

First time, long time. Thanks for posting these. They have really helped me in my prep. Amazing how much I've learned. I especially like the videos teaching me how to win money. Sounds almost as easy as the body wrap pyramid the 25 yr old Instagram model from my office just signed me up for. (Let me...

With the new legislation, are Missouri residents still eligible? If not, I may need to seek out a partnership next yr, as my current partner and myself are both residents with dumbass congressmen.

I think Greg and Tom do a fine job, but with so many contests and leagues across multiple sports, I think they would be the first to admit that they can't monitor everything. I don't believe that hiring a "contest integrity officer" is the way to go. This would just cut into the payouts. There are s...
