Welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast, brought to you by the chalkboard app.

I'm your host James Anderson, and my guest tonight is a fellow Madisonian Jim Tomini, who won the 2020 main event overall.

He's had a top five finish in the draft champions overall, and he's currently

leading the 2025 NFBC draft champions overall. Jim, way to make Madison proud. How you doing,

man? Thanks for joining me. It's fantastic. It's an honor to be on a RotaWire podcast.

RotoWire has a special place in my heart. We both live in Madison. The RotoWire

headquarters are here in Madison a few miles away. My very first big splash of the NFBC

was winning the RotoWire Online Championship in 2016. And I was in

second place on the final day of that season. My team was called the rally caps. And I indeed

rallied and ended up winning by something like 20 points at the time. It was the narrowest

championship ever. So anyway, that was my big splash.

And as I was mentioning before he went on in the air, the essential resource I think I've

used for the 10 plus years I've been doing at NBC is the rhodo-aware website.

I'm on it, logging on dozens of times a day for the starting lineups, the news,

the injuries, articles,

podcasts, waiver wire pickups on Sunday. I mean, it's really kind of one of the go-to-to-resources,

and so I feel a connection with rotowire. And now I feel like I finally made it my very first

rhodo-wireo wire podcast well it's

been a long time coming jim I I know we we talked about doing it a long time ago with like

you and me and John fish maybe in one of those like ice uh igloo type setups in the winter but um
