They're all in the Diamond Auction waiting for you. Come on in, the water's fine.

Greg, my thoughts and prayers remain with you, Mike, Dennis and your entire family. You're all great people and part of your mother's enduring legacy. I am truly sorry for all your loss.

Appreciate the help; however I only said that in jest. I have my interns working overtime (at straight time mind you) to get my auction prep work done for me. should be enough for me to beat this group Mark, I'm surprised you're actually even paying them for the extra hours. I figured you'd have th...

I'll give it a try Wayne.....

I believe Doughy was pretty specific in regards to it having to be a female bear. Here ya go Dough.....


By the way, this is what my mind pictured when hot blond bear Amy was brought up.

If thinking there is something wrong with me, that's what I do!
Also, avoid bears!

Sounds like a healthy pastime to me.

Seasons Wayne? Ummm, didn't your whole state shut down a couple years back when you had flurries?

Vulgarity is not what the NFBC is all about. Hmmmm...... I agree. You finished second one year in the main event and it was well documented that you fucking cheated. Go Fuck yourself Mark! :shock: Oops! As Chad said, I edited it right away, I'll own it. It's what I wrote. Glenn the jealousy all of ...

Man, I may have to rethink these leagues. It's one thing to go in knowing I'm a probable donator. It's another altogether for it to be a sure thing. :shock: Ahh, what the hell. It's not like there's anything else to do in Vegas on a Friday. :mrgreen: http://us.123rf.com/450wm/refluo/refluo1211/reflu...

I see two problems with no FAAB. #1 • If you draft early you're at a big disadvantage versus the late drafters once playoffs roll around. #2 • It probably shifts the game appeal strongly toward the vet player, away from the novice which we want to engage. How do you fix that, Dough/Glenn? #1/2 - Li...

Agreed Dough. Lots of good input tonight. And it's clear that FAAB is the linchpin. Whereas I would be completely happy with a no-FAAB league too, minimal FAAB might work best from a game play standpoint and have more appeal to novice players. If we did one FAAB after Week 1 (when everyone is still...

Good points Glenn, although with a points-driven league there really isn't much of a learning curve in looking at your team fresh after a month. But I agree that having a true draft and go would have appeal, and this league is sort of walking the line between what we have in the DCs and what we hav...

What baseball is missing that football has (and what I thought was one of the primary tenets in creating this contest) is a true draft and go contest. DC's are sold as draft and go's, but as we know they truly aren't, because you draft and then need to revisit the team twice a week for 26 weeks to s...

With drafts starting in January and this being an overall contest, a FAAB session before opening day is critical. Then it's a matter of one or two more. Is it critical for DC's? DC's draft 50. The initial cutline draft is 30. So no, not critical for DC's. That's why increasing the roster size for C...

I'm confused by this statement. Wasn't the intention of this contest to appeal to the DFS crowd? If so, who cares what (no offense) KJ, Zola, Doughy or ANY of us have to say? Of course you're going to meet resistance from this group! You've given us oatmeal with raisins for the past 13 years -- and...

Is it critical for DC's?

EDIT- We have more DC leagues that any other concept. The reason is clear, EVERYBODY likes to draft. The DC concept is perfect in that we can draft to our hearts content, knowing that the FAAB monster will not bite us when the season begin. I can see Cutlines sharing the same type of popularity. Al...

I agree with the previous posters. FAAB is definitively my biggest concern while considering whether I'd be playing this particular game. In football, I dreaded the FAAB weeks for that Cutline contest, and that won't even approach the amount of work it will be for this baseball contest. I want a qui...

Received my direct deposit this morning. Thank you Gentlemen.
