What would one of our high-stakes events be without the Quahogs involved?

Stephen Jupinka of Waldwick, New Jersey has been an original member of the NFFC and NFBC families since 2004 and his photo postings on the Message Boards are as original as they get. Unfortunately, we had to suspend our photo privileges when the spammers put even more revealing photos on than Quahogs was showing!!

Anyway, it's all good fun and Steve has had good fun and good success in the NFFC and the NFBC over the last four years. He's back this year and will be drafting at the New York Hilton once again in the main event. Last year, his Quahogs team won $2,500 as it went 8-5 in New York League 3 and placed 65th overall with 1,622.65 points. Quahogs then finished 50th in the Championship Round with 451.97 points. Welcome back Stephen and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
