Go gettas has the lead, so it would be nice to see that hold up.

However, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was rooting for childs.

Perhaps the biggest factor this last week will not be the skill of the guys at the top, but the weather conditions.

Well, I won't take offense to that Gekko. Lol. No hard feelings for rooting for a buddy. Just like I'm rooting for Wayne in the Consolation Round. I hope the lead holds up too.

Anyways good luck to all with a chance to bring home the $100,000.

Well, I'll feel a lot better if I end up beating one of the best fantasy players in the country. That was one of the main reasons on joining this contest (not to mention the 100k). To be able to pit my skills against the best the industry has to offer.

You've already beaten a lot of the best in the biz. Well done

Congratulations thus far Ryan and Jeremy. I know you guys were excited to participate in the NFFC and you guys have battled all year long and been steady. I like the enthusiasm you guys bring to the contest.

That being said, we have one more big week left for the race to the $100,000 grand prize. As Rob Benetti found out last year, one big final push in Week 16 can make all the difference in the world for the $100,000 grand prize. With LT2 going on MNF, it's obvious this year's race will go right down to the end on Christmas Eve. Wow, what a finish.

Good luck to you and everyone else in the Championship Round. Thanks for making 2007 another successful year.

[/QUOTE]Let's see, Shawn finished third in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship this year and has THREE Top 5 finishes in the first four years of that competition. He set the NFFC Draft Champions scoring record last year and this year he set a new NFFC Auction League scoring record. Now he's in the Top 5 for the $100,000 grand prize in the main event. Shawn, you truly are amazing. Now if you could only pick horses!!!

Oh, that's right, you hit that Superfecta in Vegas in March for $3,200. Like I said, amazing.

GG is right, Shawn is among the best in the fantasy sports industry. It's obviously hard to rank fantasy players among different contests, but I know we have some of the very best in the NFBC and NFFC and Shawn ranks right up there. Congrats to him thus far and to all our players who are contending for over $500,000 in prize money this year.
