NFFC/Fanball in NYC

Gents,
This past weekend was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!! Spending time with my friends, Fanball (Ryan and the two gentlemen we went to dinner with), and of course Tom made the trip worth it EVEN WITHOUT THE DRAFT!

I got some cool picture curteousy of Fanball for the players I selected. Nice touch.

I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for baseball

Gekko --

Thanks for the kind words.

I learned a lot over the weekend in NY.

We'll make some subtle changes to fix some of the small things.

But overall -- I thought the event was a great time and it was great getting to know everyone.

I thought everyone enjoyed the picture handouts and we had signed Brandon Jacbos photos in all three locations for every owner who picked Jacobs.

It was great and I can't wait for NFBC!!!

I'm not going to win anyway, so I might as well have gotten something out of the deal....

It was great meeting you Ryan & Tom....and I think you guys put on a great show.

Thanks for a blast,
Glenn

Glenn [/QUOTE]I told you so.

Yep couldn't thank Ryan Tom and staff enough, minus that Jeff guy. Ryan just joking about Jeff, First class Contest!

Thanks Again Ryan,

John

PS-Of course Greg as well, but was just talking about the NYC event.

Thanks for the compliments folks. We were excited to have New York lead the event in attendance again this year so I was determined to put on a good show. There are some things we need to improve on and I know Ryan, Greg and I will have a lot to talk about after they're done kicking butt in Vegas.

It was great seeing all of the familiar faces and fun meeting so many new people. Good luck to all of my New Yorkers this season and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Tom, excellent job as always. You seemed much calmer and more relaxed this year.

Ryan, it was great to meet you and share some ideas. Looking forward to seeing you and Greg in Vegas this weekend.

The pictures were an excellent touch and a welcome surprise. Also, the badges had much better players on them than in years past. Kudos to the folks behind these moves.

Tom and Ryan,i just want you to know that the whole New York experience was great this year.
From the time i arrived and got in line to register,the people on hand kept things moving along,very pleasant to deal with.
A lot of the facilitators were there last year as well,and my drafts moved right along without a hitch.
The pictures were a nice touch,and i agree with KofQ,the badges were GREAT.I received a BIG BEN badge for the classic,and drafted him in both leagues

.
The trophy is beautiful,truly,and thank you so much.You guys made me feel special,everything done there was just handled with respect and dignity.
Even the predraft announcements,you guys took the mic,said what needed to be said,and we got down to the buisness of drafting,which is why we show up.
My only regret was not joining Tom,Ryan,Gekko,KofQ,brother Diesel,and others i cant think of for a time after the primetime.I was worn out,and have a new respect for you guys that work 12 plus hour days putting on these shows,very well done.
I had excellent chats all day long with old friends and made a bunch of new ones too.
I had way more fun than i deserved,again,thank you Tom,thank you Ryan,thank you Fanball and thank you NFFC.
I REALLY look forward to seeing many of you again in vegas this week.

Tom, I emailed you over the weekend to thank you..GREAT JOB, AGAIN...But by now, should we expect anything less? You set the bar so high, each year is hard to top the last.

Ryan, I sent you a Private Message thanking you for everything as well. You know your stuff. You, just like Greg and Tom, know how to run a contest. But you also know what it's like to be the player. You'd probably kick some butt if you joined a league here every now and then, like Greg and/or Tom do...

Everyone that I bumped into again...It was great to see you again and talk some football...I wait all year for it, and it's tough that I only get a few minutes to chat with everyone since it gets so crazy just before draft time. But I wouldn't change it for the world!

Now let's get this season started. BRING IT ON!!!
