The Brinks truck stopped by today. Nice touch guys.

Outside of the obvious, it's unfortunate that jobs are in danger here. Some 200 employees at Fanduel alone and while the games will continue, losing 10% of its customer base will result in a loss of personnel. I'm angered much like everyone else about this. Under the same mentality, its ok for old l...

Technically, the above situation is slanderous. . you don't understand "slander," definitionally or legally. So, smearing the reputation of a business that could negatively impact its growth with false allegations isn't considered slanderous or defamatory? The definition of slander is false and mal...

What I find extremely frustrating is the general public's inaccurate views and slanderous statements that are expressed in social media, etc., without proper knowledge or research being made regarding their DFS experience. For example, some moron goes on the Fanduel Facebook page and posts screensho...

Rob Manfred was interviewed on Mike & Mike this morning and he reiterated his opinion that DFS is not gambling in his opinion and that the main concern is that the games are played on an equal platform through regulation. He alluded that so long as the federal law does not change, neither will their...

Thanks Dan. I intend on never leaving camp! Forever young!

Fanduel is either seeing reduced entries or preparing for fewer players in the Million Dollar contest lately. Over the past three weeks, the total prizes for the contest have been reduced each week from 6M, 5M and 4M this week with 1st place also being reduced to $500K instead of 1M.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but if DFS can be attacked so quickly what game of skill is next?

Operation. Nobody can get the bone without hitting that darn metal siding. Should be investigated.

Have fun at the game Greg! Should be a lot of points scored.

Burnett acknowledged that he has received angry responses to the board’s decision from Nevada players of daily fantasy sports contests. He said he was e-mailed an expletive-laced tirade from one player who complained that his life had been ruined and that he now had nothing to do. This might be man...

Some are calling Chase Utley 'dirty'. To me, 'dirty' could be defined as the act of going out of one's way to cause harm to another. Sorry Dan, but Utley did just that. He clearly went out of his way (i.e., making no attempt to touch the base and starting his slide after passing the base) with an a...

Sounds like a great concept Greg. I'm sure folks will be excited about maximizing their trip with more live events.

Was looking at the flights as well for that second weekend. Nothing under $600 from the major carriers I see. Not sure that they will get any cheaper.

Watching the 9th inning of the Cin-Mil game. Lind walking to the plate in the 9th having to face Chapman and the camera pan has him looking like he is going to the firing squad. He struck out on 4 pitches with the last pitch at 103mph. He swung like he wanted his momma. He was done before he got the...

Red Sox Nation- wrote:Gomez to the Astros. Clearly they weren't concerned with his hip. Sounds like it was Gomez $ that the Mets wanted help with. Madoff still running that team from prison...

Bobby Bonilla gets his cut first.

Watching Wilmer Flores play hard for a team that he knew traded him an hour earlier. Hopefully, he comes back to prove the Mets wrong. Way to handle yourself as a professional young man.

How many guys didn't have Reyes in their lineup to begin the week, especially with the Phillies on tap the following week? I have to think that this impacts such a very small percentage. I understand that the argument is more about principle and I can see both sides of the argument, however we expec...

Tulo will probably be moved by Toronto in a corresponding move. He is a far more attractive trading piece and the last thing they need is another right handed power hitter.

The rules are fine in my opinion. I do enjoy the format. At the similar price point, it's noted that the 12-team can't compete with the 15-team. It's not so much about the rules, but the preference of play vs. price point. In my opinion, volume is the issue simply due to price point. Too much emphas...

Don't stop this match for nuthin...

How can you root against this guy? So much work goes into pitching at this level from "one side".

I used to have an issue with the YES network for Yankees broadcasts in the Carolinas. Probably a market thing, but DIrectv will tell you that the control falls on MLB. No need to call.. It will get no where trust me. Just wait until ALL Saturday night 7pm broadcasts are blacked out. That sucks.

I can watch Dodger broadcasts on DirecTV.

You know what, I've had this happen to me several times this year. I had Cueto last week and Cosart the week before. I don't want a rule change. I'm up on this information and know the risk. That is part of the game. I may be one of the few here that played this game on a higher level and I was alwa...

Okay here is one more example of why we need a change in the current procedures.... Archie Bradley (AZ) was placed on the 15-day DL Thursday with right shoulder tendinitis. Robbie Ray was called up from Triple-A to start Thursday's game, essentially taking Bradley's spot in the D-Backs' rotation. S...

Greg - It's a great contest, but the issue is that folks may be in "no man's land" at this point when it comes to the contest. As the weeks pass and losses accumulate, someone who has spent a couple hundred bucks comes to the decision on whether to continue or cut losses. NO MAN'S LAND :shock: Don'...
