Everything went as well as could be expected this weekend. We could have closed up shop on Friday night at 240 for the NBC Sports Primetime main event and 292 for the NFFC and announced the draft spots on Saturday, but the city breakdowns were a mess. We felt there would be last day signups this year because of the economy and there were as we finished with a nice 252 for the debut 12-team event and a solid 308 for the NFFC. I'm proud of having 560 main event teams after finishing with 364 in the NFFC last year.

I'm so flustered this morning I left my cell phone at home.

Now I've gotta run home and get it as I'm sure that baby will be buzzing after the draft picks are announced. Good luck all and thanks once again.

'I'm so flustered this morning I left my cell phone at home.' Greg just bought himself 3 more hours.

John [/QUOTE]Hah, John, it's not a commute in Iola. I live one minute away from work. It took me longer to pet the dog goodbye than it did to pick up my cell.

It's on the hip now -- the cell phone, not the dog

-- so we're good to go. All spots are accounted for, all credit cards seem to be cleared and all employees are in the office and ready to go. Ninety more minutes and we'll have your draft spots.
