Tempted. Will let you know after this weekend. Bryan Steimetz

Just a heads up on this league that we continue to push it going forward and have contacted a lot of past owners. We lost Jules and Gerard because of scheduling conflicts, but I think John Bosch is going to come to Las Vegas and compete in this one. So we are still four owners away from a sellout. C'mon, this league is a BLAST to compete in and there is no work to be done after the draft is complete.

Also, we may consider a 12-team format if we can't get to 14 teams. The same concept would work in that format. Just something to consider if we get so close to a full league. Thanks all.

Here's the current signup list:

Okay, the tag team of Marc Meltzer and Ira Kerker have jumped into the Kickoff Gridiron League and will definitely be with us on Thursday afternoon. John Bosch doesn't get into Las Vegas until after 1 pm, so the early start time doesn't work for his schedule. That still leaves us at 10 owners, but we're getting stronger with each commitment.

As we stated yesterday, we could still run this as a 12-team DC, but there are some past players who could still jump into this format. Let's keep pushing and hopefully it all works out. Spread the word and recruit because this really is a fantastic format with fantastic payouts. Remember, 100 percent of the auctioned prices in the first two rounds goes back in weekly prizes over 16 weeks, so winning a few weekly high point total prizes goes a long, long ways.

Okay, here's our current signup list for this one and let's keep recruiting. Once the draft is done, your job is done. There's no better format for those with busy schedules:

Or maybe just two spots left, getting some interest from a few new people. A couple weeks left to fill this up.

Get you the most bang for your buck in Vegas, and the draft leads straight into the party ... post here or PM me any questions.

That's great news KJ. A full Wednesday night Primetime already upstairs in the Executive Penthouse suite, followed by a Primetime, Classic and Super Auction on Thursday, the Kickoff Gridiron and then a Packers' win in the suite!!! What a kickoff to Second Weekend in Las Vegas. Love it.

Maybe that is what's scaring people off, Mark.

Remember the old days when guys wanted to challenge the best? Now I guess we've got a bunch of people coming in from the t-ball generation who only want to play "easy" leagues, and some of the veteran players are going soft and squishy as they get older. Do we have 4 more players out there who have the balls to jump into deep water?

[Greg Ambrosius]

Now this is the type of stuff we miss from the old days on the boards!!!
