D4: Here to present the first award of the night for #1 Overall Grinder of 2013 is your host of The Daily Fantasy Fix, and Grinders Live, DB730.
DB: The nominees are: Birdwings, Condia, Ehafner and Notorious. And you winner is………. Condia.
Condia: “Wow, thanks DB. First I’d like to thank RickMilitar for not signing up for Rotogrinders. Second, I’d like to thank AlSmizzle for having a family, or he’d destroy all of us. Wow. Sorry, I’m getting a little emotional. Thanks to everyone who makes my legend live on through rumor and random accusation!”
