SuperBowlMania III: The Main Event
While Greco is setting up tee times, the fantasy football world is about to EXPLODE. Crank It Down, infused with the power of Hughesamania, will take on the Excellence of Execution, Warm Scotch, the team with no margin for error.
Warm Scotch has been riding Fast Willie Parker all year. Edgerrin James, a disappointment all year, has finally started to put up serviceable numbers. GM Scott Isaacs made a genius move acquiring T.J. Whosyamama for the frustrating Willis McGahee. Todd Heap is one of the best in a weak TE crop.
KEY QUESTIONS: Which inconsistent quarterback will step up, Matt Hasselbeck or Vince Young? Is Hines Ward healthy, and will he bring the 30 point performances we were seeing earlier this season?
STARTING LINEUP: QB: Hasselbeck/Young RB: Parker, James WR: Ward, Whosyamama TE: Heap DEF: Patriots K: Carney
Crank It Down struck gold with Tony Romo on the waiver wire. Combined with getting Greco to lower his outrageous demands for Terrell Owens gave GM Josh Hughes a killer passing attack. But the running game is where Team Crank really excels. Steven Jackson has been great all year. But you never know when you'll get hit with a GORE GORE GORE.
KEY QUESTIONS: Consistency. Romo is still young, and as proven a couple of weeks ago, can have a rough outing (which hurts Mr. Spittle). The 49ers are equally up and down. You never know if Gore is going to disappear or put up 25 points. GM Hughes cannot afford to have a repeat of two weeks ago, when his offense disappeared against the stingy Scotch defense led by Mister Coach Klein.
STARTING LINEUP: QB: Romo RB: Gore, Jackson WR: Wayne, TO TE: Shockey DEF: Ravens K: Rackers
PREDICTION: PAIN. Warm Scotch will do what it takes to win, but Crank It Down is just too strong offensively. It will be close, but I don't see anyway Josh doesn't take this one.

A Look Back at the Draft
First Round: 10 Players still on rosters
Best Pick- LaDainian Tomlinson (Erin and Eric), good thing for Derek Larry Johnson isn’t exactly Sam Bowie.
Worst Pick- Cadillac Williams (Kevin), while trading out of the 3 spot has left a hole on Bill’s roster for 2007 and Scott chose to ignore all prophecies of a dropoff in Edge’s production. Kevin picking the hapless Williams on the hapless Bucs over Steven Jackson was a difference maker for his squad making Cadillac the biggest first round bust.
Second Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Brian Westbrook (Jeff), kind of a surprise that the best pick in the Most Important Round of any draft was by a non-playoff team, and there are a lot of candidates for this slot, but as of this writing, Westbrook was #3 among Running Backs in FFL points.
Worst Pick- Domanick Davis (Derek), a complete waste was put on IR a week after his selection.
Third Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Willie Parker (Scott), more of a falling to than a foresight pick. We all should’ve seen Parker having a big year, given the situation in Pittsburgh.
Worst Pick- Randy Moss (Mike), apparently neither his Head Coach, his position coach or anyone that used to be called “Coach” could motivate Moss this season.
Fourth Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Reggie Wayne (Josh), especially if he is Peyton Manning’s Angelina Jolie and Marvin Harrison was his Jennifer Aniston.
Worst Pick- Santana Moss (Bill), had one big game, and for that he was on Bill’s bench.
Fifth Round: 9 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Joseph Addai (Derek), the rest of the league fell just short of chanting “REACH!” in unison for this Combine Champion but he has outproduced all other rookie RBs including Reggie Bush taken four rounds ahead.
Worst Pick- Daunte Culpepper (Dan), was clearly uncomfortable in Week 1, was hurt and dropped by Week 5. He is the reason Donovan McNabb will be available in next year’s late rounds.
Sixth Round: 10 players still on rosters
Best Pick- T.J. Houshmydada (Beers), traded to Scott for the unpredictable Willis McGahee, Housh was the only standout of the four receivers taken in this round.
Worst Pick- Deion Branch (Derek), taken with the belief that he would settle with the Patriots and be Tom Brady’s go-to guy giving Derek several 10 point plays, he ended up forcing a trade to Seattle and trying to build a relationship with Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace. He has somewhat in his first year but not enough to produce fantasy-wise.
Seventh Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Frank Gore (Josh), the best pick of the draft made better by the fact he actually “gored” Jeff while making it.
Worst Pick- Nate Burleson (Dan), a victim of both Branch’s arrival and Hasselbeck’s injury. He actually had two touchdowns on Sunday to showcase his funny bathroom endzone celebrations.
Eighth Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Deangelo Williams (Dan), in a ho-hum round Williams is at least a prospect that Dan can start to build his team around.
Worst Pick- Rod Smith (Erin and Eric), usually a “sure-thing” for 1,000 yards, he fell off the face of the Fantasy Earth this year.
Ninth Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Laurence Maroney (Derek), no one went wrong with a rookie running back this year. Maroney actually had a couple of 25 point games for Derek and is valued prospect in the 4th and Lynches organization.
Worst Pick- Drew Bledsoe (Dan), no explanation necessary
Tenth Round: 8 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Vince Young (Scott), a lot of rookies contributed this year, but "VY" (God, I hate that) may be a fantasy star for Scott for four years.
Worst Pick- Michael Clayton (Dan), at least got a touchdown this year.
Eleventh Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Terry Glenn (Jeff), lit up scoreboards as Drew Bledsoe's go-to guy, his numbers didn't drop all that much when Tony Romo took over.
Worst Pick- Mike Vanderjagt (Scott), at the #2 Kicker a complete reach for as botch as he was, combine that with Bill Parcells infamous lack of patience with kickers and it really shouldn't surprise anyone that he isn't on an NFL roster, much less a fantasy one.
Twelfth Round: 7 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Drew Brees (Bill), the #2 quarterback in the Twelfth Round. I'd say that's a pretty good pick.
Worst Pick- Ben Roethlisberger (Josh), given the motorcycle accident and appendectomy and Super Bowl hangover off a season in which he didn't produce fantasy-wise anyway. Hey, they can't all be Frank Gore selections.
Thirteenth Round: 6 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Ravens D (Josh), a surefire fantasy defense in the last four rounds he couldn't pass that up.
Worst Pick- Roddy White (Derek), Roddy White 2nd year player from UAB who I thought was going to be thrown to a lot by Vick in the red zone. That's who.
Fourteenth Round: 4 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Jaguars D (Erin and Eric), I must be honest none of you should be that proud of your picks in this round.
Worst Pick- Curtis Martin (Scott), he vows to come back next year so Scott, you can draft him again in August.
Fifteenth Round: 4 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Phillip Rivers (Derek), some much needed cap room for 4th and Lynches going into next season.
Worst Pick- Mewelde Moore (Kevin and Tony Kornheiser), I'm hoping Tony K was full of shit when he said during the Minnesota-New England game that Moore was on his fantasy team.
Sixteenth Round: 6 players still on rosters
Best Pick- Greg Jennings (Josh) traded to Erin and Eric and maybe a keeper if they hope to keep LT, Ocho Cinco, and Carson Palmer.
Worst Pick- Koren Robinson (Scott) because he got arrested for DWI the week before the draft and was destined for a year suspension for twice violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Best Pick- LaDainian Tomlinson (Erin and Eric), good thing for Derek Larry Johnson isn’t exactly Sam Bowie.
Worst Pick- Cadillac Williams (Kevin), while trading out of the 3 spot has left a hole on Bill’s roster for 2007 and Scott chose to ignore all prophecies of a dropoff in Edge’s production.

9th Players due Thursday 8pm
Josh, Brian, Scott, Erin & Eric.
9th Players are due by Thursday's Steelers-Browns game. Whether you have players on your roster in that game or not. No Exceptions! No Leniency! No Nothing!
Teams that don't enter a 9th player will not have that player's points count towards their total in the event of a tie.
Ties in the playoffs are broken by the total of a team's two tiebreaker players. Make sure you're protected in the event of a tie. Get your lineups and 9th players in!

That's What He Said
I have scrapped the idea of doing a Draft Lottery in 2007 but I wanted you to read some interesting words from Dan Greco in August...
Well, my point about the coup was that this should have been discussed up front rather than on the back end.
However, I am with you that it should probably be $12 or equal value of a 5th round selection.
I am also really like the idea of a lottery for the non-playoff teams.
This way someone cant tank there season just to pick #1 the next year.

Faces Of Coaching Greatness
Congratulations to Warm Scotch, for overcoming injury and underachievement to win six in a row and make the playoffs! Hey Derek and Dan, enjoy the draft lottery! Now let's win this thing!
Playoff Matchups Set
After the Week 13 games, Erin/Eric, Scott and Derek all tied with 8-5 records after Scott's Fraud Team's upset of Crank it Down, because Jake Delhomme forgot Steve Smith played on his team.
The tiebreaker between three teams is the record of each team against the other two. Erin/Eric beat Derek but lost to Scott's Fraud Team (1-1), Derek split with Scott but as previously mentioned lost to Erin/Eric (1-2), Scott's Fraud Team split with Derek but beat Erin/Eric (2-1). Through this method Scott's Fraud Team and Erin/Eric make the playoffs and Derek is shut out. ESPN broke the tie by points, I had to adjust it, so that's why the seeds seem funny.
Therefore your playoff matchups are.
1. Crank it Down (Southern Comfort Champion) vs. 4. Jamesburg PaternityTester (wildcard)
2. Bringing Sexy Back (Northern Lights Champion) vs. 3. Scott's Fraud Team (wildcard)
For the rest of you, next year's draft order is:
1. Dan
2. Jeff
3. Bill
4. Mike
5. Kevin
6. Derek
7. Semifinal Loser with worst record
8. Semifinal Loser with best record
9. Runner-Up
10. Champion
Thank you all for a fun season. Enjoy the Playoffs!

One Player, One Playoff Spot
Josh, Beers, Erin/Eric are in. If Steve Smith doesn't come up with 20 points, Scott's Fraud Team is in too.

Scott's Fraud Team
Apparently Warm Scotch fans, players and coaches are riled up at 4th and Lynches Owner/General Manager Derek Lynch's remarks that Warm Scotch was a "fraud team" as both teams are in playoff contention with Warm Scotch "controlling its own destiny (if it could be controlled, it wouldn't be destiny)". Here are the facts:
Warm Scotch has had 859 points scored against them or 78 points per game, by far the lowest in the league. The next lowest total is Jamesburg PaternityTester with 917 or 83 points per game.
Of the eight teams Scott has played so far (he plays Josh for the first time this weekend and is hoping for another anemic performance by an opponent) five have had either their worst or second worst performance of the season against Warm Scotch.
Except for a 110 point performance in Week 6, he hasn't broken 90 points yet this season. Except for a 111 point performance by Beers in Week 4, no other team has scored 90 on him.
If Warm Scotch makes the playoffs and 4th and Lynches doesn't. Derek Lynch has a right to be pissed.

Playoffs?!?!?!?!
The Playoff Scenarios were e-mailed to everyone this morning. E-mail me if you didn't get a copy. For those that did, here is a much simpler break down.
Josh- In
Beers- In
Erin/Eric- In with a win.
Scott- In with a win.
Derek- In with a win and EITHER a Scott OR Erin/Eric loss.
Kevin- In with a win and BOTH a Scott AND Erin/Eric loss, but if Derek also loses, he'll have to get in on points.
You people love poker so think of it this way. Josh folds pre-flop with high stack. Beers folds pre-flop with second high stack. Erin/Eric have jack pair. Scott has a pair of 4s, Derek has A-K off suit. Kevin has 2-4 suited.
That may give you the same odds as everyone involved has of making the playoffs.
Josh- In
Beers- In
Erin/Eric- In with a win.

Derek- In with a win and EITHER a Scott OR Erin/Eric loss.

Dan Greco (Nov 27, 8:46 PM): an interception on his first pass is nice.
Dan Greco (Nov 27, 12:49 PM): Considering you got NO production from either RB or your primary WR, yes...I hope Hasselbeck throw's his arm out of his socket on the first pass tonight.

Scott Isaacs (Nov 26, 7:29 PM): kneel before scrod

Obscure New Rule should be Remembered this Week
Under Waiver Rules:
Is there anything different in Waiver Claims than Last Year or every other league or am I wasting my time reading this? - No you’re not. Here is the biggest difference in waiver claiming and free agent signing from previous years to this years’. As a rule, after the end of the regular season, only teams alive in the playoffs are allowed to make Waivers and Free Agent acquisitions and put them on their permanent rosters. While this rule will stay in effect ANY WAIVER CLAIM OR FREE AGENT ACQUISITION OR RELEASE WILL BE REVERSED AT THE END OF THE FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON.
What this means is this week is the last week to make waiver claims for this offseason. Non-playoff teams rosters will be frozen after the Week 13 games and Playoff teams will have any waiver pickups and drops reversed after the team is eliminated from the playoffs. So if you see a "diamond in the rough" on the waiver wire, this week is your last chance to get him.

Trade Deadline Passes
The In-Season Trade Deadline has come and gone without even a whimper. My theory is that the imbalance of 8 teams in the playoff hunt (buyers) and 2 teams not (sellers, especially these 2 particularly infamous for high demands) created a market that many eyeing a playoff push weren't comfortable dealing in. There is too much uncertainty right now. Three very good teams and five teams that COULD be good enough. I do expect a busy and fun trading offseason as owners try to manipulate the keeper cap system to their advantage.
Trading Deadline
Everyone on my team is on the trading block.
Time is ticking away.
What will it be?
Deal?
Or No Deal?

Cranked!
(AP) New Brunswick, NJ - The 2005 World Champion Scope Creep team raised the white flag and looked to the future by trading WR Terrell Owens to Crank It Down today for a 3rd round draft pick in the 2007 player draft. Along with trade is a conditional agreement which states that if Crank It Down wins the 2006 title they would also send a 7th round selection to Scope Creep in exchange for Creep's 10th rounder in the 2007.
The Scope Creep organization for some time had been trying to make moves to remain competitive, but given its winless state the team decided it was best get value now and prepare for future. In a brief press conference, GM Dan Greco noted, "While we are not giving up on the season we realize that 2006 post season is out of reach. The organization has made a transaction that we feel will help us be competitive in 2007. We are continuing the evaluation process which could result in more transactions in the very near future". Greco add, " We wish Mr. Owens the best in his future endeavours and hope that he will not feel like in second fiddle with his new organization either on or off the field".

The Main Event: Election Day!
Fellow owners,
It is time to exercise your right to vote! As your commissioner, I am proposing two ballot initiatives that are probably better to be settled before season end. If anyone has any other issues for 2007 that are better settled now by all means e-mail them to me. For now I propose
Question 1: To set next year's draft order among non-playoff teams determined by random drawing, day of draft like the whole order was done this past August.
YES- Adopts the "Draft Lottery"
NO- Keeps the "Worst Record, First Pick" system we've always used sorting order by inverse record
Question 2: To set the 2008 Keeper Cap to the estimated Average Keeper Caps of each team in the league. For example, if the average of the 10 teams Keeper Caps is 41.9, the Keeper Cap is set at $42 for the following year.
YES- Adopts the "Average Cap Rule"
NO- Allows Commissioner to set the 2008 Keeper Cap in August 2007
Discussion will end Tuesday, November 14th when YES and NO votes will be solicited.

Previously on The Main Event...
I have been out of pocket with the weekly updates for the league. For that I apologize. I am working on trying to get access to the league site from work so that I can be a better Fantasy Football Commissioner going forward. Here is a first half recap.
Josh, Beers, Mike and Kevin look like the class of the league at the halfway point. In fact, Beers (Weeks 3,4 and 6), Josh (Weeks 1 and 2) and Kevin (Week 5 thanks to tiebreaker player Maurice Drew) have taken all the High Points Week Titles.
The High Points Player Awards have been both controversial and confusing so I'll track the history. Frank Gore (Josh) won High Player Points for Week 1, no controversy there. However in Week 2 Peyton Manning (Kevin) and Ravens Defense (Josh)tied for HPPW both owners split the money awarded for that week. In Week 3 Brian Westbrook scored high points which would have earned Jeff his first winnings of the season, but he didn't start him so by rule the money accrued to the next week, when Santana Moss went nuts earning Bill his first winnings of the season, but of course he didn't start him either so the award for High Player Points for Week 5 was $15 and there was a tie between Donovan McNabb (Bill) and Jaguars Defense (Dan) both owners split the $15 pot. LaDainian Tomlinson (Erin/Eric) earned Isabelle Hughes' first $5 towards her college fund with the best of many insane performances in Week 6.
For those owners that feel they were screwed out of High Player money by the bench rule. Reconcile in your head that you didn't have the High Player for that week in the first place, someone else did, they just weren't smart enough to start them and for that more owners besides you should benefit. Also keep in mind the Bench Rule is a Participation Initiative, second of all in place for a reason.
Your Winnings So Far
Josh: $17.50 (2 High Points, 1 High Player, 1 Tie for High Player)
Beers: $15.00 (3 High Points)
Kevin: $7.50 (1 High Points, 1 Tie for High Player)
Dan: $7.50 (1 Tie for High Player-3 Weeks Accrued)
Bill: $7:50 (1 Tie for High Player-3 Weeks Accrued)
Erin and Eric: $5.00 (1 High Player)

Scope Creep GM announces fire sale
The 2005 World Champion Scope Creep team today announced a fire sale on all of its players citing that injuries and players not living up to expectations have driven this decision. Dan Greco , General Manager of 2005 Champions stated that "We're going no where this year. The entire organization has discussed our options and we believe that now is the time to make moves to ensure we are fielding competitive teams for the future.

Lynches Address Texans RB Debacle, Acquire Lundy
Obviously in "Damage Control" mode, 4th and Lynches managed to put a stranglehold on the Houston Texans RB situation after starter and Second Round Pick Domanick Davis was put on IR by Houston. This morning 4th and Lynches re-signed RB Ron Dayne after he agreed to a one-year deal with the club that runs an offense very similar to the Denver Broncos.
In the 11pm hour 4th and Lynches made a trade with Jamesburg Paternity Tester to acquire named starter Wali Lundy for a 4th Round Pick in the 2007 draft.
To make room for the new acquisitions 4th and Lynches released Davis and will release Vernand Morency when the trade is approved by the league. Keeper Cap reasons were cited as the reason Dayne was retained over Morency. Dayne only counts for $3 on the Keeper Cap because he was selected in the 13th Round. General Mamanger Derek Lynch did not rule out reacquiring Morency with the team's #1 Waiver position if he takes over the starting job.
"While we weren't dealing from a position of strength not having a second starting Running Back on our squad, we are happy to acquire Lundy and very happy with the potential of our Running Back corps as the season goes on. We'd like to wish Domanick Davis the best of luck in his recovery".

A devastating day for Derek... his second round choice, Dominack Davis, was put on IR, meaning he is out for the season. The second kick to the testes? The Raiders cut He Hate Me.

Chucky's Baaaaaaaacccccccck!
AP (New Brunswick, NJ) August 25th -Due to the now imfamous "Clayton Incident" Scope Creep owner Dan Greco was forced to unveil both his new head coach & mascot earlier than anticipated this afternoon. In New Brunswick, at a special press conference in "The Tower", Greco introduced John Gruden and his alter ego "Chucky" as his new Head Coach/Mascot combination.
As a stunned, seemingly frightened media looked on Greco noted that, "In a cost cutting environment, where job consolidation is prevalent, we decided to embark on a ground breaking concept of combining the roles of both Head Coach AND Mascot. And, from our perspective, there is no better a person to fill this role than John."
Gruden is a respected, championship caliber coach who's demeanor changes to almost "Chucky-like" when he needs to put the fear of god into his team. Greco further stated that,"We're truly excited about this move for our team and fan base. We now just need to and extra security during games AND tag everyone in case people start disappearing like at Gruden's last gig. But, that's neither here nor there, we are excited AND we're saving a s***load of money too!"
Gruden added that he was looking forward to the challenge of getting Scope Creep back the to championship in 2006. Chucky put the entire team on notice by stating that, "He would have no problem ripping into any player that did not live up to expectations".
Scope Creep begins its title defense against the NJ Thrillers on week 1. Tensions are already running high over the recent "Clayton" debacle and the Gruden/Chuckie signing will surely send a message to Coach, umm, Coach that Scope Creep is ready.

Hold the Phone!!!!!!!
AP (New Brunswick, NJ) August 25th - In a stunning move, the artist formerly known as "Coach", Mike Friedlander, has giddily claimed the signing of star WR Michael Clayton today. In a press release from the NJ Thrillers front office, "My first waiver pickup has been made and I am excited about it. Michael Clayton is now a part of the NJ Thrillers. There is no way that Joey Galloway is going to have the same year he had last year and Clayton will be the number 1 by week 4".However, Michael Clayton's rights are held by the 2005 Champion Scope Creep squad and cannot be courted, nor signed by another team. Commissioner Derek "My team gets an A + + +" has launched a full scale investigation to see if the NJ Thrillers are guilty of tampering and would have to be subsquently be sanctioned.
Dan Greco, mastermind architect of the 2005 Champion Scope Creep team, declined to comment on the situation only to state that " I am sure our commissioner will do the right thing to ensure league integrity remains intact".
Oddly, Scope Creeps first opponent in 2006 is the NJ Thrillers. Coincidence? We think not.

The first move is made
My first waiver pickup has been made and I am excited about it. Michael Clayton is now a part of the NJ Thrillers. There is no way that Joey Galloway is going to have the same year he had last year and Clayton will be the number 1 by week 4.

Scope Creep inks both first rounders!!!
In a stunning move, Scope Creep inked both of its first round selections today further solidifying there championship defense for the next three years. Both selections, Bobby Boucher and Daniel Bateman, are linebackers that not only bring intensity to every play, but also have a knack for making big plays.
When asked about predicting future contributions to the team Boucher said, "Mama thinks fooseball is the devil, but Mr. Coach-Kline doesn't." Boucher further stated that will ask ensure that the entire team is fully hydrated for each event. Bateman was a bit more intense when addressing this reporter in saying "I got the ball!!!!!!!...I got the ball!!!!!...I GOT IT!!!!" while blood soaked sweat flowed from a four inch gash on his nose.
In other Scope Creep news, General Manager Dan Greco has narrowed his list of coaching candidates down to five and will be scheduling final round interviews this week. Finally, Greco is leaving this week for one final "Princeton" scouting combine in an effort to finalize his draft shopping list before the upcoming August 19th draft in Delaware.

Real Men of Genius...
Here's to you, Mr. Fantasy Football Commissioner...
Mr. Fantasy Football Commissioner!
Every summer you get 10 of your friends together to draft, trade, and claim players like they're running a real professional football team...
We run the West Coast Offense!
Whether they drafted 3 Tight Ends, 2 Kickers, or Aaron Brooks. At no point is everyone as optimistic as they are at the end of six hours of alcohol inebriation that is your Fantasy Football Draft...
I'm going all the way!!
For it's the Commissioner that's able to write Keeper Rules, Scoring Values, and talk trash on the league bulletin board, because he is the only owner in the league...without a girlfriend.
He ain't getting no ass!
So here's to you Mr. Fantasy Football Commissioner. An Ice Cold Bud Light for allowing grown men and women at or approaching their thirties to still live out their fantasies...

Warm Scotch Names Coach
Unable to locate "Coach" to coach, Warm Scotch General Manager Scott Isaacs instead turned to a man who knows something about hustle and dedication, former Celtic and current announcer Tommy Heinsohn. Even though Tommy's forte is hoops, the crusty coach says the lure of winning Tommy Points on a weekly basis will be enough for Team Scotch to excel on the football field.
In unrelated news, I present pictures of Katharine McPhee.

4th and Lynches have named owner Derek's favorite Adult Film Star Sunrise Adams as "Head Cheerleader" for the 2006 squad. Adams beat out Stormy Daniels, Jennie Finch, Jenn Sterger and American Idol contestant Melissa McGhee in auditions, which unfortunately never took place.
You can see more pics of Ms. Adams in her cheerleader outfit here. Should you view them at work? Well, its a link to pictures of a porn star on the internet. What do you think?

Welcome!
ESPN is not as liberal as some other sites as far as comment and bulletin board posting. To skirt this issue I have reserved space on blogspot for us to post ANYTHING we want. Owners should keep in mind that anything NSFW will probably be posted on here so be careful checking this site at work. Owners who are posting anything NSFW should use this forum rather than the ESPN site. A link to this blog will be on our league page at all times.
Hope this blog adds to your Fantasy Football experience.
Sincerely,
Your Commissioner
