We're working on our 11th league for the main event this week as we welcome another original member of the NFFC family back to the fold for 2006. Let's give it up for the tag team of Jon Clift and Kenny White of Lees Summitt, Missouri as they have chosen to join us for the main event in Las Vegas this year on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Jon has drafted the last two years in Chicago, but he's bringing his gang to Las Vegas this year thanks to a business trip that week that will take care of the flight!! Gotta love it. Jon led his BIG MO team to an 8-5 finish in Chicago League 2 last year, placing 77th overall with 1,623.15 points. That was a tough league last year as six teams finished in the top 77 in total points. Don't worry Jon as I'll take good care of you guys in Las Vegas. Welcome back and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

The original members are coming back strong today as the All-Star break has given some of my die-hard baseball players a chance to sign up for the football contest. I'm glad to welcome back Marty Bedell of Poughkeepsie, New York to the NFFC as Marty finished third overall in our baseball contest last year and is back in the hunt for a league title this year. He just signed up for the main event in New York on Saturday, Sept. 2nd and is looking for a little better luck this year. Marty led MGBS109 to an 8-5 record in New York League 3, placing 109th overall with 1,585.15 points and missing a money finish by just four points. MGBS109 then finished 18th in the Consolation Round with 546.74 points. Welcome back Marty and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Bruce will be drafting with his son-in-law, Benjamin Arrington, and is an original member of the NFFC and NFBC.
