John Bosch is coming to the Windy City for the tripleheader, his first trip to our Chicago live events. Treat him well my friends.

And rumor has it that a Sack may be flying in for the Friendly Confines as well. Something tells me he likes the Auctions there. Be ready Chicago because I think we can fill this one pretty quickly. Stay tuned.

[COZ]

Great News! Very happy to hear we're finally getting some momentum on this. Nothing better than the Auction format. One of my favorite days of the year. Welcome back Ken. Welcome aboard new guys.

There is no truth to the rumor that Jaws music is played when Darth Van Der and Pausma enter the room. Let's go Russell, Diedrich, Bill, Derrick, Rob, Jay, et al, getcha yourself some of this Auction action. Two things are certain, you will have a great time and the only time you will see my name in first place is on the sign up list. But this year I'm bringing my A game, as in LIMA (Low Intelligence, Mindless & Aggressive) Auction game, so consider yourselves warned. Don't make me go to Vegas, people. Let's keep Chicago viable.

damn, that's a good looking pie there...need to get back for some Lou Malnati's

[Sack]

Coz:

Happy to be back. Both trips to the Windy City were great experiences. Great group of drafters who
take the experience seriously but still know how to have fun. I realize I keep to myself on draft day. just an
inner drive to be the best. I want to keep on coming back till I can figure out how to beat you guys!

I shared some thoughts with my friend John Bosch today and was pretty pumped to see him agree to make
the trip to Chitown so quickly. Greg nailed it - the Auction was a must. I look forward to seeing the familiar faces
of the NFBC family - Chicago style. I'll find my way for some Chicago style pizza as well. Still working on the rest of
my NFBC plans and weighing my options. Thanks for the warm welcome back. Can't wait to battle with the best.

While on topic here, is there a room block at the Sheraton?

We don't, but go to the web site for the best deals and if you have any troubles just let me know. My sales contact there has been very good and he will help with anything. But he said the best rate is the one on the web site right now:

Thanks and enjoy. Buffalo Wild Wings is right around the corner from the Sheraton if you need a good place to watch some college hoops that weekend. Enjoy.

I feel real good about this season.
My early draft prep has gone well.
I did ok last year, but I made some mistakes that I've hopefully learned from.
I'm looking forward to a very exciting season of baseball here in Chicago (THIS IS THE YEAR Cubs fans)
I always enjoy seeing my NFBC friends each spring.

Put all those things together........

I'm back for 2016!!!





OH SHiiiTTTTTT!!!!

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, again.

Wow has to be the earliest we've sold this out. Great news and hoping Chi is back in 2017 as well. Anybody for 2 chi auctions? Laughed out loud at some of the posts.

(Vander and Pausma)

Is this why they always have place settings next to Vander & Pausma's name placards?

Awesome to hear we sold this out. 5 signups in less than 24 hours since the pizza picture was posted, I'm just saying....
