High Stakes Fantasy Baseball Multiple X Champion and The Most Interesting Man in the NFBC - Author, Humorist, Gamer, Bodybuilder, Supra-Genius, Husband & Dad
Here's the link again to my 2007 podcast venture, The Anything But Monday Show! Bored shitless and looking for some entertaining insanity? Here's the show that launched my "career" in broadcasting and either ruined or saved countless lives in the process!
Just in case anyone missed it via email or on the NFC message boards. Sure sounds like transparency to me and taking responsibility for the fuckups they were the victims of. Maybe everyone can ease up with the angry mob, down with the

Cole Ragans did his best Hunter Brown impersonation tonight vs. the Orioles going full scorched earth on at least a dozen of my teams. I again would personally like to thank

Nick Pollack for his undying love and support of Ragans for the last several months

Fuck Aaron Boone. Zero reason to take Gil out of this game after four and two thirds with nobody out. Now I know why most Yankees fans can't stand him.
Support the NFBC this year. Jump in for at least one Main Event team if you can, or a Rotowire Online Championship. Anything to help support the best season long fantasy baseball competition there is. We want to make sure

CLQ Main Event in the books and that's a wrap on drafting season! There were 10 CLQ entries in this one last night. Probably easily the record, but the draft Gods were good to me with their gifts given my KDS draft spot draw. I'll go to war with this team. 🔥💪

You can call this pitching if you want, but all I see is a kid just heaving a baseball as hard as he can. Not a single positive thing about a kid his age doing this.
If anyone following me on here truly believes these crazy fucks storming the US Capitol building are "patriots" and in the right, just unfollow me now because you're not a patriot. You're a seditionist, a traitor, and a delusional, anti-American cultist. Sad day for America.

@GodfatherNFBC
is on his way home from killing it in Vegas. Great partying and some of the best people you'll ever want to meet. Now getting geared up for the 5K Ultimate DC kicking off tomorrow night before the live events especially the MTM Ultimate Saturday on SiriusXM in NYC!
View from near the top of the Bellagio last night. The Godfather is in town and ready to rock! Stopping at the Mirage later today before the Mains to catch up with some of you who I won't see for the party or at the Saturday Mains. Still time to get in on the fun tomorrow night.
So here's what blows
@SiriusXMFantasy
. You took an affable, engaging, and entertaining guy like

and a solid fantasy baseball show off the air and replaced it with
completely unlistenable horseshit that is
@ActionSports

@AnthonyDiComo
If they can't go into Atlanta and put the hammer down in games 1 & 2 with the two best pitchers in all of baseball the last five years then they don't deserve it. DeGrom should be a man possessed Friday night coming off that debacle in Oakland & prove why he's worth 50 mill/yr.

Been meaning to share this since the passing of the legendary Hank Aaron. A hero of mine as kid, my dad took me to see him at a local appliance store where he was doing an appearance and signing autographs. Wish I got a pic with him and had a better ball to sign at the time.

Nothing like shit-talking, ball-busting, and most of all talking baseball with some of the best in the fantasy bb business to all hours of the morning, especially with 1/2 a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in
@ctmbaseball
preaching his "I mean no disrespect" rt wing manifesto🤣
I'm glad
@GodfatherNFBC
took over the Zoom duties. I'm too old for 2 am!! But yes, nothing like having a dozen or more in a Zoom room during a $2500 online draft. The smack talk and player evaluations are priceless.
Not to get too political or anything, but if the people of Georgia are fucking moronic enough to elect Herschel Walker as a US Senator I think that's grounds for losing their statehood. And the Braves should be disbanned as a MLB team just for good measure.

2. Brady Singer
3. Steven Matz

Three of the worst tweets that continually pop up in my feed every day this time of year.
1. "Hey, check out my killer home league team I drafted..."
2. "Hey, check out the draft results of the industry league mock draft I did....
3. "Hey look at my amazing TGFBI team..."
Always a fun day when you have both Miller and Skubal going in what should have been great matchups to see them both get hit around and neither get a win. The joys of fantasy baseball.

I don't want to say I told everyone about Nola, but I told you so. Huge contract+big head problems=major bust potential. But everyone just drafted him with confidence as their SP1. Will anyone really be shocked if he ends the year with a 4 something ERA and pushing a 1.3 WHIP?
Just for you since you brought it up on your show.

Thanks to all the industry "experts" who incessantly pumped up & pushed E-Rod on all of us this year when common sense dictated that no matter what the underlying metrics stated, he was flawed & not that good. The injury today is just the icing on the fucking cake. 🤬

It may have be 75 degrees in NJ today, but it was a million degrees Celsius here in Hell where I am. 🤬 Would have been in the Penthouse Suite at the Bellagio right now getting prepped for the big NFBC party and Midnight Madness Draft in advance of seeing many of you there.
Worst part of the day's depression just hitting me now as the live "Iron Balls" KDS draft slot draw would be happening now in NYC

Hey

Me watching Matt Strahm's performance on the mound tonight knowing I have virtually no shares of him where it matters, while knowing most of the industry guys do.
Okay, I get it. Some people are scared of attending the upcoming live events in New York and Las Vegas. That's fine. But can you do us all a favor and shut the fuck about it rather than adding to the mass hysteria? Just stay anonymous and stay home. You have our sympathies.
I think that every fantasy baseball industry guy/gal should be stepping to the plate and taking at least one Main Event team in the
