Touch of class, Ryan!

I'm LOVING the way this Fanball merger is taking shape, and it has only been a little over a week!

Ryan, you get major kudo's for that generous act. Jared always brings a team to contend with. Don't put him in my league ! Playing on house money will only make him more dangerous.

I was with the "Jungle" from the very start. Probably won around 20k there. Single handedly got me out of debt over a few years time. "Luckily" for me, I only won 1G last football season. Won 4G in baseball and really would be upset if I didn't get that. I emailed Mike a few times and he just said they were trying desperately to find a buyer. If they couldn't, they would have to claim bankruptcy and only pay out what the company had in assets. (probably not much) Not sure where things stand now. They do know who is owed money but it might not even matter in the end.

I as well was with the Jungle from the start in 2003 when they opened. One of the original 72 members and I played multiple teams there every year. I took the max 4 main event teams every season and played in several sat's a year I was in about 15-20 leagues of thiers the last few years. Those $50 and $100 sat's were really great and I loved them I will miss those the most. Looks like I am out $3,500 but not much you can do about it. I was also with Sportsbuff back in 2000 or whatever year it was when they went under and lost money there too. So now I am here looking for another good contest and one that won't go under hopefully. I used to talk to Mike and Scott alot and they were always great so something really bad must have happened because I don't think they would have just taken the money and ran. Their business was growing every year getting more and more people it is a shame that this happened.

Henry -- well thanks for finding us and giving us an opportunity to help you enjoy your Sunday's throughout the NFL season.

We are all excited!

Can you tell?

I'm not going to let Fantasy Jungle spoil the work Greg and his group have put in to build this contest. We aren't going anywhere and Fanball / NFFC / NFBC is going to be around for a LONG time.

UPDATE --

I just got off the phone with the lawyer involved in this case -- and we are making progress.

Trying to get this wrapped up and let these guys have a chance at the glory.

Will update you all later today!
