The King of Hoagies from the Philadelphia area is finally back in the NFFC's fold as Richie Primo of Primo's Hoagies has committed to attend the main event at the New York Hilton on Saturday, Sept. 2nd. Richie opened up five new stores this year and has been too busy to return my phone calls, but I finally caught up with him today and locked him up for a spot in the big dance. Richie led his Grid Reapers team toa third place finish and $500 in New York League 5 last year, going 6-7 and placing 86th overall with 1,604.15 points. The Grid Reapers then finished 28th overall in the Consolation Round with 528.70 points. I have insisted that Richie get back on the Message Boards and start smack talking immediately, so look for the Grid Reapers posts soon. Welcome back Richie and best of luck once again in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Tom Rossi of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey manages Primo's Hoagies and he's also been too busy to lock down a team in the NFFC's main event, but today we hit a home run with a phone call that resulted in two entries. Tom led Team Rossi to a 6-7 record in New York League 2 last year, placing 73rd overall with 1,630.75 points. He finished with more points than his boss, Richie, but finished out of the money (4th place) in a tough NY2 League. Tom's entry is our 107th in New York, leaving us with 19 open spots for the main event in the Big Apple. Welcome back Tom and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Shawn Childs of Forestdale, Massachusetts just completed the NFFC Quadfecta by adding the Draft Champions League to his weekend of fun in Las Vegas. Shawn was already signed up for the main event and the $1250 Auction League and he is a co-owner in the Ultimate League, so he figured it was time to add the Draft Champions League. He's now the 26th owner in that event as we have TWO open spots in Las Vegas before we close out those two leagues. Last year, Shawn's C.C.'s Desperados finished seventh in LV1 with 2,176.65 points. Welcome back for another event Shawn and best of luck in the hunt for the $4,250 league prize. Oh, and keep those NFBC teams going as it looks like you may cash with EVERY one of them. Great job.
