Chad Tabler of Holland, Michigan joined the NFFC for the first time last year and had a great run at the $100,000 grand prize. Chad led his Tablers Elite team to a third place finish in Chicago League 4 with a 7-6 record and 1,776.05 points, placing 15th overall in total points. Despite that high overall finish, he needed a wild card spot to get into the Championship Round (what a tough league, Chad!) and he finished in the Top 40 there with 482.97 points. Chad will be back once again to compete in the NFFC's main event at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott in 2007. Welcome back Chad and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

It's always great to welcome back an original member of the NFFC family and it doesn't get much better than welcoming back Ken Magner of Freehold, New Jersey. Sack has embraced the NFBC and NFFC and has made this a family affair by getting his wife and children involved while planning a family trip around our event. I love it. Kenny will be back at the Flamingo Las Vegas this year and is signed up for the main event, the $1,300 Auction League and the $5,000 Ultimate Auction League if we can round up enough participants for that one. Ken led his Sackofpotatoes team to the regular season best record last year in the $1,250 Las Vegas Auction League, going 9-4 with 1,738.75 points. After receiving a first round bye, Sack lost in the semi-finals but won the third place game to finish with a take of $2,750. His Sackofpotatoes team finished 7-6 in Las Vegas League 6, placing 207th overall with 1,510.65 points. Welcome back Ken and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize, the $5,000 league prize, the $37,500 Ultimate Auction League prize and the $8,000+ in Auction League prizes.

Keeping it in the family, we're glad to welcome back Paula Magner of Freehold, New Jersey as the better half of the Magner family will also be drafting in the main event at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st with her son. Last year Paula and Kenny Jr. led Potato Chip to a 6-7 record in Las Vegas League 3, just missing a third place money finish while placing 113th overall with 1,604.8 points. Potato Chip then finished 56th in the Consolation Round with 624.10 points. Great job Paula and Kenny Jr. and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We're glad to welcome another new member to the growing NFFC family as Mike Costaglio of San Marcos, California will be joining us for the NFFC's main event for the first time on Saturday, Sept. 1st at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Mike called me in February to talk about the NFFC and he was excited about our game format and our multi-city concept and immediately jumped into the mix. He's a veteran fantasy football player who has competed in high-stakes events before, so we welcome him with open arms. Welcome aboard Mike and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We're glad to welcome another veteran NFFC player back to the main event in 2007 as A.J. Tedesco of McKeesport, Pennsylvania will be returning to the NFFC for the third straight year. A.J. competed in Chicago the last two years, but this year he will be joining us at the Flamingo Las Vegas for the big dance on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Last year, A.J. led his SpearmintRhino team to a 5-8 record in Chicago League 4, finishing with 1,439.15 points. SpearmintRhino had a strong finish, however, placing 48th overall in the Consolation Round with 629.16 points.

We're glad to welcome back yet another two-year veteran of the NFFC family to the main event in 2007 as Scott Atkins of Indianapolis, Indiana will be joining us for a third straight year at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott on Saturday, Sept. 1st. I'm sure that Scott is happily wearing his Colts' Super Bowl Championship hat now and reveling in that title, but I know this long-time fantasy football veteran would rather have his own title instead. Last year, he led Team Legacy to an 8-5 record in Chicago League 2, placing 191st overall with 1,528.9 points. Welcome back Scott and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

We're honored to welcome back another original member of the NFFC and NFBC family as well as a defending league champ as Aaron Seefeldt will be returning to the $650 Chicago Auction League in 2007 at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott. Aaron and Dan Rich had an improbable ride to the $3,350 first place check last year as their Hideyerwomen... team finished the regular season with a 7-6 record and 1,492.3 points, earning the sixth and final seed. That team then got on a roll in the playoffs, winning three straight games, including the Championship Game by a mere 2.1 points for the league title. Congrats guys on a great run and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $4,000+ in Auction League prizes.

We're glad to welcome our newest member to the growing NFFC family as Kip Lockwood of San Jose, California will be joining us for the main event at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Kip first contacted me about the NFFC after the NFL season and quickly became excited about our high-stakes format. He made his travel plans to Sin City and became one of our early-bird signups for the main event. Welcome aboard Kip and I promise we'll treat you right in this league. Oh, and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
