@ja5230 @TheReal_NFC @GregAmbrosius @TomKessenich Joe, I found out about this shocking news on Saturday night, and after I had left the Rio. My deepest and most sincere condolences. Please let us know if there is anything that we, as a community, can do to help and support you. 💔

I wanted to thank the @TheReal_NFC community for your support these past 2 weeks. Many know I’m dealing with the sudden loss of my beautiful wife Traci and hearing your encouraging words have meant a lot to me. @GregAmbrosius and @TomKessenich certainly foster a family atmosphere

@PhilDussault27 More importantly, will Lane Thomas be more valuable than Juan Soto this year? 😂

Still have one last Main tonight but I'm looking to diversify so I might as well post these now. Here are my most owned players in my 15-team FAAB leagues.

@RunDMcD @wagner13454 @BullpenGuru I look forward to you saying those words to me in person. Best of luck to you.

I didn't talk about it on a podcast. I still don't know the real story. I've heard two distinct sides. At this point I don't care which side is the truth. I'm just done talking about it. You being a complete and total bitch about it certainly isn't bringing me to your side any quicker

To clear something up: This was not about shit talking people or saying people didn't care about showing up. I know at least two of the people had family emergencies to attend to. I think we all have things we'd skip even a $10k draft for if needbe. I feel terrible for those people. I was just saying that this was crazy. In my 20 years coming to Vegas I've never seen so many crazy things happen at NFBC live events. There's rarely even one thing that happens like this... let alone several. It's usually pretty smooth and the craziest thing is like someone drafting Luis Robert 4 rounds early

@RunDMcD @wagner13454 @BullpenGuru So make the story known. Let me help: “Hey I talked to so-and-so, and it turns out he had no idea what he was talking about, but I posted about it and talked about it on a podcast. Sorry for believing complete nonsense.” Like I said, I guarantee that won’t happen.

@wagner13454 @kingofqueensDFS @BullpenGuru It's such an odd thing to lie to me about but if that's what happened then that's what happened. I'd rather that be the story honestly. I'm over it either way.

@RunDMcD @wagner13454 @BullpenGuru Percent chance of another “clear-up” post or retraction

@gravelandstones @RunDMcD @BullpenGuru A 15 team league with 3 auto-drafted teams is easier to win than a 15 team league with 15 active owners. With that said, I have no idea how a 15 team auction would work with 3 literal no-shows.

@kingofqueensDFS @RunDMcD @BullpenGuru I'm dumb, why does it impact the integrity of a league if an owner no shows?

@RunDMcD @BullpenGuru I like that you can post about things that didn't happen, yet when shown to be wrong, you blame it on your "reputable" sources. Would love to hear who these mysterious people are.

@kingofqueensDFS @BullpenGuru I like that you can imply my intent. Have we even met before? I just thought it was an odd thing to happen. Didn't realize i was dealing with national secrets here. If it didn't happen, then maybe people who were there couldn't be going around saying it did. Just a thought

@RunDMcD @BullpenGuru The three no-shows in the TEN GRAND ENTRY FEE league was the first thing you mentioned. ALL CAPS would indicate that you intended to make a big deal out of it. And it turned out to be false. Why do I care? It impacts the integrity and perception of leagues that I play in.

OK dude. I've been told otherwise by reputable people who were there. What exactly do you think my agenda is here? All I said was some crazy shit happened and you're getting your panties in a twist. You think I go around trying to create false narratives for some reason? I love NFBC. Just saying this stuff never happens🤷‍♂️

@BullpenGuru @RunDMcD I am friends with one of the surrogates, and am also friends with one of the owners. So I am well versed on two of these three "no-shows." Your original post, and worse, your "clear-up", were misrepresentations of the truth.

@RunDMcD @kingofqueensDFS You said it was “the strangest thing you’ve ever seen” and you weren’t even there lmao

@RunDMcD It wasn't like some random people were pulled into the auction to replace them. These three owners had direct surrogates conducting the auction for them. Is that really one of the craziest things you've ever seen in 20 years of playing?

@RunDMcD This is a false narrative. There were not three no-shows in the Diamond League. All 15 owners participated -- 12 in-person, 3 online. In the Platinum League on Saturday, 11 owners were live in the draft room, and 4 were online.

@TheReal_NFC I see the Seahawks D/ST scoring was updated with an additional 6 points and now shows 15 points for Week 2. Per the rules, should there not be 6 points for the touchdown, and 2 points for the fumble recovery, for a total of 17 points?

@GregAmbrosius Congrats to Clark on this well-deserved honor that was long-overdue. Looking forward to celebrating in March.

We are honored today to announce that Clark Olson will be the newest inductee to the NFBC Hall of Fame in March. Clark is our 10th HOF inductee after winning the 2024 NFBC Main Event overall title!! Congrats Clark!!

@BigBadBWolf @TheReal_NFC Stats from resumed game are not reflected in the current standings

@TheReal_NFC This was for Week 14, right? I had Chad Green in the lineup but I'm not seeing his save from yesterday.

NFBC note: You have until the start of tonight's game to get Blue Jays/Red Sox in your lineup for the week. The stats from the June 26 game that resumed this afternoon will not count for THIS WEEK, but Week 14 and where these players were in your lineup then.

@TheReal_NFC please ensure that stats from the suspended BOS TOR game are included in the YTD stats. As of this morning, I don’t believe they are reflected.

@zackwaxx @marc_winokur Thanks for caring about the fantasy community

Week 12 FAAB Preview with @marc_winokur. Don't get used to this because I don't think I'll do this again. 3 hour comprehensive FAAB preview for hitting and pitching. Might be a legit podcast for once. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/draft…

@zackwaxx Decided to check out your podcast this morning. Thanks for the entertainment -- only thing missing was ZITO snoring in the background.

Week 10 FAAB review in podcast form podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/draft…

@zackwaxx In one of my mains, Jake Cave was picked up for $50 (no runner up). That has to deserve at least an honorable mention. The Kjerstad bids should get their own section.

#1. If he didn't deck me in Vegas, he's not going to do it over this. $244 Jared Walsh is my #1 on this list. It's a subjective list, but if you disagree with the order of it, I'm not very interested in hearing about it. But, if I've missed any good ones, feel free to add

Top 20 worst Main Event FAAB bids..its only week 8 and we aren't even digging into the TGFBI or Isaac Paredes drops in MEQs #20. Has to make the list but put it at the end because EVERYONE did it. But loved him in drafts and hated Alzolay, just didnt hang on. Bone head move

@RotoGut I’m with you on Sanchez, Vlad. Nicely done.

I bid adieu to Triston Casas 😢, scooped up a fallen Julien, and welcomed my favorite streamer of the week, Jesús Sánchez. Finally, some righty pitchers! Kept the bids light My Week 6 NFBC FAAB results:

@zackwaxx @BreakingBen_T The NFBC and NFFC have made all sorts of improvements over the years, and many of these were based on suggestions made by customers. There are certainly more effective ways to get changes made. In summary, I think your intentions are good, but your execution is poor here.

@kingofqueensDFS @BreakingBen_T Conversely, I believe you have more than enough information to make an informed option. So let’s skip the evidence part and since you are the mediator, you tell me: am I off base?

The NFBC high stakes events are rigged. Not in a way so significant that it deterred me from playing in them. But I will keep beating this drum until management and those getting the privilege stop ignoring, belittling and/or lying about it.
