BIG thanks to Tom and the Big Apple!

Just wanted to say thanks to Tom and everyone else who made NYC a great time this weekend. Tom was listed as questionable with a bad back, but unlike say a Darren McFadden, he suited up and did a great job as always at this event.

The HOF plaques were a really nice touch (thanks again!), the food was very good, and things went off very smoothly, even with #18 Randall Cobb and his sore back.

I also got to put a lot of MB names to actual faces, meet many others for the first time (don't want to list them all in fear that I will forget someone :D ), and catch up with some old friends who I generally see only once a year or more.

I do want to single out Andy Saxton who generously took us out after the Super to an "Irish" Sports Bar for drinks and apps ...much thanks Andy!

Really fun weekend all......enjoyed it! :D

Echoing what Billy said...was a great weekend. Time went by so fast! Tom was not feeling great but he and Mike A. pulled it off very well as always. Well done!

Anyone feel like salsa dancing?

Got to catch up with some old friends and meet some people for the first time and hang out.

Billy- my pleasure on post draft Friday night.......I find it very valuable/refreshing to get out away from the draft setting and find a place to hang out and relax and chat. Glad you all had fun.

Same here great to see everyone and agree with Billy HOF plaques were a nice touch. Everything was first class this weekend, nothing beats a long weekend of drafting and hanging out with other crazies....Jupinka how about another drink? :mrgreen:

We left the bar at 3 AM and he wanted to know where we were heading next!!!!

Great weekend in NYC, I look forward to it every year. Also want to thank Tom for the kind words as he called us up on stage and presented us with our HOF plaques, it was first class. Great catching up with a lot of the guys as always. Good luck to all this year

Great event in NYC as usual. Tom, great job as always. Good to see the hall of famers awarded their well deserved honors. Lots of familiar faces, some new ones, and unfortunately some missing ones.

I even did a little salsa dance on my way out. :D

Love all my teams, as usual, until week 1, when it all comes crashing down.... If Demarco Murray gets hurt, I am screwed.
