I should be there, too.

I thought this was invite only?

It's invite only for all the non-CSFMB-ers.

but, just to be official...

*ahem.

Dr. Ken, would you like to attend the Sox Tailgate?

I'm supposed to go to a bachelor party that day. Its $65 to golf, $20 to drink and eat after that at a friends house, and then pay-as-you-go at bars at night. This seems like piss poor planning because 1) with most of my friends who golf there is no reason to go to a $65 course, 2) every bachelor party I've been to has had a drink special or wristband for the nite (went to two last year that were drinks, food, and "entertainment" and both were $50), and 3) I can't fathom us drinking and eating over $200 worth of booze and food after we've been out golfing all day long...and THEN going out to the bars. Oh, and there are no strippers. Which really doesn't bother me but goddam if I'm gonna drop $200 for the day it would be nice to see some boobs floppin' around.

Long story short, as much as like to go to the party with my friends, the tailgate at this point looks like a better option

I'll be in Philadelphia other wise I would say that I'd make it and then not go.

It's because Fantasy Football on the radio is boring, and the convention is nothing more than a Star Trek convention for failed jocks.

The segment they do on Mac's show for Fantasy Football, is the highest rated segment during the entire week during Football season.

The segment they do on Mac's show for Fantasy Football, is the highest rated segment during the entire week during Football season. So obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Tapping into something as huge as FF has become (36 million participants) with some kinda operation similar to what ESPN does, should have been done years ago. Lets say you are right (for the sake of argument) about the convention being nothing more than a Star Trek convention for Jocks.....those conventions make lots of money. So whomever attends them, they are successful and make loads of money, so it remains an idea worth pursuing. Plus, it would get listeners who are into FF competition, more engaged with the station. Whenever a listener attends a remote or some other station event, it has to be a postive.

I'd like to see evidence of that.
