More info on the new STATS SiriusXM show

NFBC and NFFC will be featured prominently each week on SiriusXM's Fantasy Channel. This is a great vehicle to promote both the NFFC and NFBC. The 2-hour show will be broadcast every Wednesday from 7-9 pm ET and will feature Greg Ambrosius and Tom Kessenich as co-hosts. The show will be called the STATS Fantasy Advantage and will give listeners every advantage to win their leagues.

STATS Fantasy Advantage also will feature top fantasy players each week on the show. They will lead off next week with 2012 NFBC champion Dave Potts talking about his exciting run to the $100,000 grand prize.

The debut show took place live from the FSTA Conference at the Mirage in Las Vegas yesterday. That show is available online to listen to at anytime if you are a subscriber to SiriusXM's Fantasy Channel.

This show will also feature many of the top players. And during the season, the entire nation will know who is leading these national contests.

And SiriusXM is going to broadcast live from NFBC and NFFC events more regularly as part of this deal. I

NFBC awarded FSTA Best Fantasy Live Event award

The NFBC received the FSTA's Best Fantasy Live Events Award Tuesday night at the industry's Trade Conference in Las Vegas. This marks the second straight year that the NFBC has won this award, which was presented at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) Awards Banquet at the Mirage Las Vegas.

The NFBC continues to be the only live events contest in the industry with regional drafts. In 2012, the NFBC held live drafts in six cities over two weekends, along with hundreds of online drafts. The NFBC finished with 270+ different leagues between its 12-team and 15-team formats. Almost $2 million was awarded last year as the NFBC completed its 9th season. Since 2004, the NFBC, NFFC and NFBKC has awarded more than $15 million in prizes. This upcoming season will be the NFBC's 10th anniversary season.
