Agreed.In the past I have seen owners pick up a magazine on the way in to the draft.Now they go online and seem to be more informed.

Guys, first of all thanks to those of you who could make it to the live chat today. I realize that not everyone can make these during the work hours, but the threads are interesting enough for all to read at night and you can certainly add to it at anytime. Tom is ready to answer questions at all hours of the night.

We'll continue these live chats each day over the next two weeks just for the hell of it as it gives everyone an opportunity to talk football and ask us anything they want about the event. The communication tool was great for the NFBC as we got heavy signups during the last two weeks of the signup period and I envision that happening again here. The number of positive phone calls today outnumbered any other day to date and I am confident many more official signups are on the way.

Let's keep the positive vibes going and the smack talk too. If you can join us for our daily chats going forward, please do. And if you want one any night of the week, make the request and Tom will gladly host one. Thanks everyone.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell everyone I was going to be on WGN Radio in Chicago tonight at 8:30. The interview with David Kaplan and Tom Waddle (former Bears wideout) went great and they mentioned the web site's URL three times. I'm pretty sure that David is going to enter the NFFC and I've asked Tom to speak at the Welcome Reception. Tom spoke at our Fantasy Sports Trade Conference in 2000 and when I reminded him about that, he vividly remembered. He's a great guy and would be fun to have at the morning session on Saturday, Sept. 4th.

I'll let you know which athletes we get, but this interview was a lot of fun. I'm scheduled for Phoenix station on Tuesday, Aug. 17 at 6:25 p.m. local time and more interviews are on the way.
