People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Jokes on you because as of right now, I'm not in the Main on Saturday!!!!Drink until your heart's content. The place doesn't close until 4:00 a.m. The more fucked up the next day's Main Events you are, the better. And I'm down for some Old Fashioneds with the best bourbon your money can buy!

And just in case anyone hasn't checked lately, we are NOW JUST 10 DAYS OUT from the best of the best of all of the NFBC events! Anyone getting excited yet?

Just a reminder that ALL are welcome to join us who will be in town next Friday night, March 16th who would like to take part in these post-draft festivities. If you want in, just let me know.
On another note, I hope to be making the media rounds in promotion of this event beginning next Monday the 12th. I'll let everyone know the who, what, when, and where as I find out. Or maybe not if Greg and Tom aren't interested in giving this thing the proper advance exploitation it deserves!

Re: The 2018 MTM LIVE ULTIMATE EVENT! Back & Better Than Eve
Unbelievably we are NOW JUST FIVE short days away from THE premiere live draft event of the 2018 NFBC season! And it's going to be better than ever, so be sure to listen in this Friday night to the live broadcast on Sirius XM. If you're planning on being in the city and want to be there live, purchase your tickets soon! I still have a few left down front at $199 apiece, and couple draft-side next to Jupinka going for $499 which includes copies of his cheat sheets and the opportunity to ask him questions and about draft strategy advice live throughout the draft! So who wants 'em?
And in other news, I will be on the air Monday night with Adam Ronis & Lisa Ann for a segment at 10:30 p.m. EST talking about the draft and whatever else I decide to hit them with! Going to be a must listen for sure as I plan on giving away some of my sleeper picks for this year which I have coincidentally gleaned directly from Ron Shandler, so you know they are going to hit this year! More to come, so stay tuned this week!

Re: The 2018 MTM LIVE ULTIMATE EVENT! Back & Better Than Eve
Good times Monday night on the air with our perennial celebrity draft facilitator, Adam Ronis along with Lisa Ann talking about the MTM Ultimate. But I should have asked her about Stormy Daniels and I blew my shot. Next time. Wonder what it would cost to get her to come help facilitate this time next year? Greg, Tom get working on this. Chop-chop. And speaking of which, you won't be hearing me on their show tonight talking about their premiere competition that is airing live this Friday night from the Stewart Hotel. I'm sure we'll hear plenty about Tout Wars though that just so happens to be in town the same weekend. Why this would take precedent, I don't know, but suit yourselves if this type of boring, meaningless, industry home league-type shit floats your boat. We all know where the place to be is this weekend in NYC!
Looking like I'll be on the air live in studio with Matt Modica and company at the Fantasy Sports Network this Friday at 11:30 a.m. for about the last 30 minutes of the show. My agent is just working out the last minute details. They said it will be fun because there will be a lot of Tout guys milling about. Should make for some interesting conversation and interaction.

I’m no MTM, but I’ll be on greg and tom’s show tomm night around 10:21 est giving this and the entire wkd a shout-out. That includes you in the main event Sunday with some tout guys in that one as well. I expect you to bring in some hecklers that Tom will have to have removed for that draft with Liss and Sporer!
Btw put sporer as a tentative for the food on Friday. Forgot to ask him about it but I think he will be in.

Updated guest list above. Quite a motley crew! Looking forward to seeing everyone in just a couple days after I take down the MTM Ultimate title for 2018 when I crush this draft live on air for everyone to enjoy.

You'd place 2nd in a league where you're the only owner. I like seeing your name on the entry list....I know its a 14 team race from that point onwardBaseball Furies wrote: Updated guest list above.

You should probably go back to listening to Tout to flesh out your draft plan

Re: The 2018 MTM LIVE ULTIMATE EVENT! Back & Better Than Eve
It's finally upon us! It's now officially early morning on Christmas Day of the NFBC season. DRAFT DAY! And what better way to cap things off than the MTM Ultimate tonight in NYC! The KDS balls are ready and packed along with this year's special league owners' jerseys which all the competitors will proudly don for the competition and the post-draft festivities. I have really gone all out this year on these as we haven't had an MTM league jersey since the league's inaugural season. The 2017 league champion ceremony will be held, and Joe Thelen will be crowned as the league's first time ever repeat champion. Additionally, beginning this year and every year going forward, there will also be something special at the opening ceremonies for the last place finisher in this league who will be duly recognized and coronated as well. The live draft coverage begins with the pre-game at 7:00 p.m. EST, but prior to this, I'll be in studio on The Fantasy Sports Network earlier in the day around 11:25 a.m.until noon when the show wraps up...or earlier if I'm escorted out by security prior to then. Then it will be back to the "luxurious" Stewart Hotel to begin my draft prep for this year's draft, and I should be all set by 8:00 p.m. Everyone joining us for the post-draft festivities, be sure to meet up with us just after the draft around midnight, and we will all head over to the District Tap House together to regale each other with our tales of live draft and auction brilliance. Can't wait to see everyone there!

GREAT JOB EVERYONE in last night's New York MTM Ultimate League. It looks like SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio gave this league a lot of love before the live draft and obviously during the draft, featuring a lot of the owners in this league. There were some unique strategies in this league as well, which played well to a national audience. Really good exposure for this league, for our players and for the NFBC. Great job all.
And we apologize for the constant refreshing of the boards in New York and Chicago. We know it added time to the draft and auctions and was a pain in the ass. It's bullshit that won't happen again as we were forcing those picks through a jammed server. It was the only way to post those picks through an f'd up server.
Everything has been fixed overnight and tested and it won't be this way today for the live drafts and auctions. We know it was a pain in the ass and we apologize for the extra time it took, but today is going to be a smooth ride. Drinks on us in all three cities!!!
Again, fantastic showing last night with this league and the draft board was fun to watch from afar. I hope the after-draft party was even more fun and entertaining. Now let's get back to work and do it again today. Thanks all.

Just an FYI for anyone who walked to the Tap House after the draft...that was a brisk half mile. There are some interesting folks on 7th on the walk back. New York City has character
