We're working on our fifth league in New York for the main event as we welcome another veteran NFFC team. The tag team of Troy Young and Michael Newsome will be returning to the New York Hilton for the third straight year for the NFFC's main event. Troy and Michael led their TOPDOGG team to a 7-6 record in New York League 8 last year, placing 110th overall with 1,607.2 points. TOPDOGG also finished 40th in the Consolation Round last year. Welcome back guys and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Tampa is going to be a very competitive venue for our first year of competition as we have a lot of veteran NFFC members drafting in the South this year. The latest entry is Mike Ward of Stamford, Florida, an original NFFC member who led TEAM NEW to the regular season points title during our debut season of 2004. TEAM NEW dominated that first season, but fell off during the playoffs. Mike won $5,000 and a league title that year and he finished third in the Ultimate League in 2005. Last year, TEAM NEW went 6-7 in Las Vegas League 8, placing 239th during the regular season with 1,476.25 points and then placing 109th in the Consolation Round. Welcome back Mike and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

The signups for Las Vegas keep coming in as we're going to have some fun in Sin City this Labor Day weekend!!

I think I've already corrupted one family as the tag team of Richard and Todd Lepow of Buffalo Grove, Illinois are moving their draft headquarters from Chicago to the Flamingo Las Vegas this year. This father-son combo has competed together each year since 2005 in football and baseball and they've had a great time running their teams. They've drafted in Chicago each time, but this year they're joining me in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Last year they led Juke Heard Round The World to a 9-4 record in Chicago League 1, earning $500 for placing third in their league in total points and 78th overall with 1,639.45 points. Welcome back guys and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

I'm glad to welcome a fellow Cheesehead back to the NFFC this year, this time with his own team in the competition. Let's give it up for the tag team of Dave Gerczak and Leroy Corson of Appleton, Wisconsin as they will be competing in the NFFC's main event at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott on Saturday, Sept. 1st. Dave was a co-manager in the NFFC last year with Jack Haan, but this year he's going to grab his own team and use the knowledge of Leroy Corson to make an unbeatable tag team!!

Both guys also have experience in the high-stakes format as they are original members of the WCOFF. Welcome aboard guys and best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

Scott Nelson and Jeff Mitz of Chicago, Illinois are claiming home field advantage this year at the Chicago Oakbrook Marriott as they will be drafting live for the first time with us on Saturday, Sept. 1st in the main event. Scott had heard about our event the last few years and today he decided to go to the web site and check us out. He liked what he saw and talked his buddy into splitting a team with him. We're glad to have both guys on board for the 2007 competition and we wish them best of luck in the hunt for this year's $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.

It's great to welcome another original member of the NFFC family back for a fourth straight season of competition as the tag team of Stanley and Alfred Agbulos of Riverside, California will be joining us once again at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 1st for the NFFC main event. Stanley and Alfred always bring their San Diego banner, hats, jerseys and LT2 pictures with them and I'm sure No. 1 will be at the top of their KDS preferences!!

Last year their So You Think U Can Draft team just finished out of the money despite going 8-5 in Las Vegas League 1 and placing 63rd overall with 1,662.7 points. So You Think U Can Draft then placed 64th in the Consolation Round. Welcome back guys and best of luck this year in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize and the $5,000 league prize.
