I don't know how he has time to sign up for our football events when he's leading the pack for the $100,000 grand prize in baseball, but I'm glad to see that Stephen Jupinka of Waldwick, New Jersey took the time this weekend to grab spots in both ends of the NBC Sports NFFC main events in New York. Quahogs becomes team number 94 from the Class of 2004 to return in 2008, which honestly is a phenomenal number. What a rookie class we had in 2004!!!

Thanks Stephen and now get back to preserving that baseball title.

Jeff Bartkowiak started with the NFFC in 2004 living in our backyard of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and he returns for a fifth season of NFFC competition having moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the last year. Jeff will be joining me for the first time in Las Vegas for the NFFC Classic main event as he becomes our 95th NFFC Charter Member to return for a fifth season. That's an amazing total. Thanks Jeff and good luck in the NFFC Classic.

This is just too good as we're now closing in on the century mark for our Class of 2004 returning in 2008. Let's give it up for the return of Kamel Haddad of Bakersfield, California as he will be joining the NBC Sports NFFC Primetime main event after four years in the NFFC Classic 14-team event. I remember Kamel's first phone call to me in 2004 like it was yesterday as he wanted to make sure we were a legitimate company that was going to pay the prizes at the end and each year in Las Vegas I look forward to seeing him. Welcome back Kamel and enjoy the 12-team format this year as you're returning member No. 96. Nice.

Let's welcome back another member from the Class of 2004 to the 2008 event as Jeff Dobies of Farmingville, New York returns to the NFFC this year, albeit the 12-team NBC Sports NFFC Primetime format. Jeff has been with us for five straight years in just about everything, including our basketball contest, and we're glad to have him on board for the NBC Sports debut event. Welcome back Jeff and thanks again for all your strong support and trust.

We're almost to 100 returning members from the Class of 2004 to the 2008 event. Let's welcome Kevin LaCour of Prairieville, Louisiana as he's been in the NFFC each of the last four years and will be diving into the NBC Sports NFFC Primetime main event and the $650 Draft Champions Primetime league. Welcome back Kevin and good luck man.

This is another amazing list as we now have 98 owners from the 2004 NFFC main event back for a fifth straight season of competition. That might be the best testimonial I could ever get. Anyway, let's welcome our latest member from the Class of 2004 back for the 2008 event as Tom Spinoso of Madison, Wisconsin returns to the NFFC Classic main event in Chicago. Tom finished fifth overall last year, so he knows what it's like to battle for the $100K and he's going after it again this year. Welcome back my friend.

Lucky #99 among my NFFC Charter Members is none other than Richie Primo of Sewell, New Jersey as he returns for a fifth straight season of competition with us. Richie has been an NFFC member since 2004 and he's among our top Lifetime Standings members and this year he's back for the NFFC Classic at the New York Sheraton Hotel & Towers. Richie may do both ends of the doubleheader, but right now we're just glad to get him back for this Classic event. Welcome back Richie and best of luck once again in the hunt for the $100K and the $5K league prize.

Who wants to be No. 100?? Wow, what a Class we had in 2004.

We now have 100 members from our debut NFFC season of 2004 back for NFFC V as we welcome an industry writer who is back in 2008 after a three-year hiatus. Let's give it up for William del Pilar of KFFL.com and Escondido, California as he rejoins the NFFC in a big way this year, signing up for both main events in Orlando. Sweeeeeeet. Welcome aboard William and it's good to have you back with us.

The CENTURY mark from a list of 224 owners in 2004. That's pretty amazing. Thanks all.

Let's welcome back member No. 101 from the Class of 2004 to the 2008 event as Steven Nover of Henderson, Nevada will be back for a fifth straight season of competition with us. Steve has competed in the 14-team main event each of the last four years, but this year he's jumping into our debut 12-team NBC Sports NFFC Classic main event. Welcome back Steve and I'll see ya at the Flamingo in exactly two weeks.

Will Robertson of Sparta, New Jersey has been an NFFC and NFBC Charter Member since 2004, but because our NFFC event was on Labor Day weekend it made it tough for Will to compete the last few years. But with the phone option, he's able to join us again this year, joining the NBC Sports NFFC Primetime 12-team main event. Welcome back Will and keep it going in the baseball contest.

With all of these late signups, I may not have all of the Charter Member hats on time for Draft Day, but whomever I miss I'll mail them out to you. Thanks all and even the late signups will be taken care of.
