NFFC Message Boards

Thanks to all for showing up each season and drafting these leagues and to the NFFC for hosting. We had just one open spot this year, taken by a former Grid player who couldn't make it last year. This is a LIVE ONLY event and its great to see everyone come back each year.

Greg has been getting us the Bellagio suite since we started these leagues in 2012 and it's a perfect atmosphere to hang out, watch the game and draft. Tom & Darik handled the cash auctions and tricky league setup flawlessly, as always. I know I'm not the only one that can't miss Vegas because of these leagues.

Weekly payouts (1-17) will be record highs with $1000 for the 14tm (Kickoff Gridiron XI) and $930 for the 12tm (Post-Game Gridion VI).

My 14 teamer looks OK. I felt better about it before I realized A Robinson had switched positions from WR to DR (decoy receiver). But looking over the rosters, it seems everyone has weak spots so maybe I can be competitive anyway. The 14 team defending champ Ramon Valentin was back to confuse Tom with his Spanish pronunciations.

My 12 teamer looks better; I paid up for McCaffrey and post-game-40pt Josh Allen. Off to a good start anyway. I won the 12 last year ahead of Michael Cole and Chris Eibl who finished 2/3 and 3/2 in the two contests, they both drafted better than me (my one good/one bad draft) in spite of missing the glory of a league title. Across the two leagues, a total of 16 of 26 teams cashed weekly wins.

Anyone else want to comment on how your team is looking post-draft? I'll post weekly winners here too.

Big week with multiple teams well over 200. Well deserved wins.

I'll include the Kickoff Gridiron standings and weekly winners on the thread with all of the national contest leaders going forward. I apologize for missing the first two weeks, but you guys wore me out in Las Vegas!!! I needed 13 days of sleep after 13 days in Las Vegas.

Plus I thought KJ was doing an inferior job on this thread!!! It's hard to find good help these days. Enjoy the updates here and on the main Week 3 update thread:
