The Owners and Teams

Who's gonna win the most prestigious fantasy football title in the history of fantasy football titles?? Who's gonna win the championship that makes the Super Bowl look like a Pee Wee Football league trophy??? Who's gonna win.....THE WAYNE MCGARRITY BOWL?????? 10 teams will try.......only 1 will be declared CHAMPION.

The Teams and Owners

Yours Truly-Rugged Raymont Harris- Last Year I finished 3rd despite drafting pretty shitty (First two picks Randy Moss + Ryan Mathews). And yes I named my team after the former Bears running back. I once spent 7 bucks on a Raymont Harris Toy....no bullshit

Kenny Bybee-Take Dat Wit Chu- Never have I seen worse fantasy luck than Kenny's last football season. Right off the bat in Week 1, he loses his starting QB in the first half of the Eagles-Packers game in Kevin Kolb. Then it was nightmarish loss after loss including losing the "Michael Vick goes apeshit against Redskins" game and even worse the "Matt Schaub leads the Texans to a miracle comeback against Baltimore only to lose in Overtime game" which ended up costing Kenny a playoff spot by 1 fucking point. At least if things go to shit this year, Kenny can fall back on the Mavs championship.

Albert Rodriguez-Channel 4 News Team- Last year's defending champion. Lost Romo early in the season, rode Orton for a while, then I gifted him Tom Brady and Peyton Hillis for "stud" Brandon Marshall and Ray Rice. If you ever wanna trade struggling name players for overachievers I'm your guy!! Just ask Kenny Bybee as well when I traded Arian Foster AND threw in Greg Jennings for Adrian Peterson. Yeah, I don't know how the hell I got 3rd place either.

Matt Gonzales-Dr. Wily's Robots- Matt's first foray in fantasy football was pretty successful, a playoff birth (Matt 1 Kenny 0, lmao), yet a loss to the eventual champion Albert. Matt made the playoffs DESPITE starting the season 0-3 as he went 8-2-1 in the last 11 games of the season.

Ryan McKinnis-Hoosier Daddy- Ryan could never get it going last year finishing 7th in the regular season and finishing dead last overall. Ryan's going to be an autopick team this year, so he'll need to be active in free agency and waiver wire pickups to keep with the pack.

Mike Posey- Salt and Vinegar Chips- I'm not gonna pretend to even come up with a reason why Posey came up with the name he came up with, but his claim to fame last year was being the guy who helped stopped Kenny make the playoffs. He finished 7-7 but that 7th win was the biggest blow to Kenny's quest for the playoffs.

Andrew Mata who finished 2nd and in every sport turns crap players to gold had to withdrawal from this year's league. I think I hear DeAngelo Williams and Brandon Marshall crying becasue Drew would've sure as hell stole them in later rounds and would've have magically got 1st round stats in return. Drew is the Midas of Fantasy Sports, trust me, Alex Gordon, Kyle Farnsworth, and Jared Weaver are three of many the owe Drew their LIVES. There were too many Ryans in a 8 team league, so the other Ryan who is in our league last year, is no longer with us as well. He got 2nd to last anyway, so no big deal.

This year we expanded the league to 10 and have 4 new owners. Let's meet them now shall we?

Robert Puente- The Bobofies- aka Mi Papa. Making his fantasy debut this year, he's been pretty hardcore about doing mock drafts and I have to admit, he's not looking like he's gonna be just a placeholder in this league.

Zach Schroeder- Shredders- This year's Kenny Bybee connection, according to sources (OK, according to Kenny) he seems to be gearing up and researching for the draft as well. People who know what they are doing= not good for me!!! Dammitt!!

Cindy Crisp- Da Boyz- Is it considered a failure this season if I lose to both my dad and a girl in the same season???

Leland Lawrence- The_Twin_Killers- The super duper secret surprise entry of DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! I sent an open call for the coveted 10th spot of our league and after millions nay BILLIONS of requests, Leland was the lucky player who received the email vote of confidence. Well that, or he was the first of the whopping three people that responded. Anyway, welcome to the group Mr. Lawrence, just please don't win.

Our league is standard Yahoo league format, non PPR, no bonuses just straight up regular fantasy football with 6 teams making the playoffs and the top 2 seeds receiving byes. Our draft is tonight at 10 (Me and Kenny will be their as always the only two that ever show up in the draft lobby at 9:30 no doubt cursing the draft spot we get). Results will be posted tomorrow sometime and we'll be ready to get the season started this next Thursday. Why am I doin this when probably only 2 people will read?? I dunno, cause I'm a nerd and felt like chronicling our season! Good enough reason for me. To those in the league good luck and see ya tonight, to those who read for fun, enjoy the ride cause it's gonna be pretty interesting!!
