AFFL and Question to the NFFC

Is it Mike or Scott, Boutrous? Both are good guys, and run a good contest over there.

With AFFL looking to be "out of the picture", I THINK that makes Fantasy Jungle the 3rd highest Grand Prize out there in high stakes fantasy football ($50,000, behind WCOFF and NFFC).

Regardless, even if there is a bigger grand prize out there, these are the only 3 that I personally trust anymore.

Sorry to ask this question.
Besides Turf War I know of at least one other that did not pay there winners. It starts with a (K) anyone here know there name?

Was there any others?

Perhaps some good news for/from Neil at FBGuys board.
-----------------
"We have received a verbal offer for the complete sale of AFFL and its software, and will have the written letter of intent Thursday morning. There are some contingencies of the LOI that still have to be met, one of which is a third party software valuation.

At this early point in the deal, I do not have an exact date of when the prize checks will be mailed, but only that the deal guarantees that every prize will be paid.

As soon as the stipulations of the deal have been met, I am sure that the new owners will make a public statement. I am confident that they have the expertise to carry AFFL into the future, and to provide an exceptional level of service. Going forward, it has been expressed that their intention is to escrow all prize money to avoid any prize situations in the future.

I appreciate everyone's patience during this time.

As soon as I have additional information regarding the date the deal will be complete and the exact payout dates, I will update everyone again. "

First of course I hope Neil's not BSing.

Could it be a big player will make a splash?
Espn,CBS or Trump?
Come in of course lose money and than build it up as the next Big 'Poker thing'?

I can't see a smaller type business taking over AFFL. Alittle looking into will show the new owner it is not the best way to go.
Why not just startup there own High Stakes League?

Well, it looks like two long-time NFFC owners are looking to rescue the AFFL from its financial woes. Anyone want to post the letter they sent out and provide some input? I know it would be good for the industry if all AFFL.com owners were paid their winnings from 2007, but I'd rather hear what our valued members think of all this.

Feel free to post the letter as I don't have access to it.
