Hey Blue_Balls. You are 100% correct about this league. These guys conspired against me last year by putting me in a position of having to draft Javon Walker with my 4th pick, when they knew that he would not play for the entire season. I also believe that they are in cahoots with Drew Rosenhaus, and were pulling the strings on the T.O. debacle, as he was only drafted by new owners last season. You should also be wary of divulging your ethnic origin, as they discriminate against all races and religions with the exception of Native-Americans with Sioux bloodlines. Take it from me, an Italian-American born and raised in a Turkish bordello in the jungles of Digibuti, who has been given the 13th pick by these heathen S.O.B.s.

P.S. Get a life, idiot. Or go back to the CBS Sportsline Basic $19.95 leagues that you probably dominate.

No wonder Greg and Tom are cool...they must know I have 1/16 full Sioux blood running through my veins...and my Minnesota relatives "too yet" accent can almost pass for Wisconsin!!!

Blue, you really owe Greg and Tom an apology. To even suggest what you are saying is just way over the line.

Obviously Blue_foot likely regrets his comments and no one supports his claim. Lets see ... the first league we entered two years ago ... we got the first pick in a main event when we didn't know anyone.

In two years ... we have assisted with the main event running drafts and have won a couple of the main event leagues. We also got in 11 leagues this year including all three main events in Chicago.

We got in 7 leagues where we got a random draft position (not including the auction). We were in the back half in 5 of them including two #14's (our last choice). FYI ... We got back half of the draft picks in both the main events this year!

Just where is this "Good old boy network anyway?"

TOM! GREG! ... We should be in it already!

Hopefully this will make you more comfortable with the process and feel a little better about it ...

I know I feel better ... getting to whine about my draft spots and fealing like I had a good reason to do so!

I like the idea of auctioning the spots off at the main event with FA money ... that would be cool!

The NFFC and Krause has too much at stake as a multi million dollar business to fix draft positions ... Tom would lose his job if he got caught doing this.

BlueBerryBrain....Good-Job.....nothing like " False Accusations " to rally the troops. Do you feel like the " Idiot " that you are Now._____ Greg & Tom ... forgive me for coming to your defence so vigorously....Especially since i am just a " Junior Member " who just signed up for a couple of Minimum satellite leagues just a few weeks a go. But the Reason I signed up ..... was exactly Because I was so impressed with the Professionalism and Integrity I observed in my Scouting out of your Organization. So when some " mamaluke " gets on here and starts throwing around " Garbage " like that....it really rubs me the wrong way. I started with the 2 small satelite leagues to make sure this was all that I hoped...and it Definitly looks that way sofar...and I see nothing that will change that opinion. So I have all intentions on Forking up the 1250 macaronni next year for the Big Show.... Most likely the same thing this spring for the NFBC ... Big Show, also......I have been playing fantasy sports for some 10 plus years and have always wished an " Organized Sports-Fantasy League " like this would come along.....You Guys are the Best and You Guys are definitely the " Gold Standard " in fantasy Sports Leagues.....GW________ " A Soldier once said...a man sure of his footing has no need to mount a horse."

14th pick here for a three year member. Sounds like Blue Man Puke is already making excuses for losing. How pathetic. With that type of attitude you don't deserve a top pick.

Last 3 years in the Main...

2004- 14th (won my league)
2005- 10th
2006- 9th

Like UYT, I am in MANY NFFC events (including like him the 3 live one's in Chicago), and I obviously am not getting any "special treatment" (I suppose one could argue the satellites are a different story!

)

The catch is I am not whining about it either. Like Renman said perfectly (although I won't quote it perfectly!)...

"There are people who complain and make excuses, and there are people who accept the challenge!"

Obviously everyone knows know which one you are!

I'm thinking you are getting some pre event jitters Blue, but calling out Greg and Tom is pretty weak. As you've noticed, the vets piping up aren't loaded with steller picks so you really do need to be a man about things and admit your mistake and apologize for being disrespectful to them.

Oh and for the record, I have been with the NFFC since Day 1, heck have even donated to the bases side just to kill time since they started that event too and was 'rewarded' with the 14 slot in the Main and 10th in the DM. Heck I'm not even in the top half of the auction...lol, not that it matters. There is no preferential treatment shown to anyone or maybe it's just that we vets aren't liked by the NFFC...

34 hours til lift off, anyone excited?!
