Ight guys we got a new franchise in LA with the Lions so welcome to the league LA. They will play in the Patriot league. On March 10th at 12:01AM EST is the keeper cut off date. You need to have your keepers selected and saved because any player not selected by this date will be taken off your team and placed on the draft board so so play smart guys. The tentative draft date is March 28th at 2:30PM EST I figure its a sunday but if a change in date or time is need we have much time to fix accordingly. Okay Commish is out!

hey guys, I hope you all got the email. If you didnt and you wondered why we didnt draft it is because our last member backed out of the league and as you know unless we have a full owners list we cant draft. But to ensure that we draft this week on tuesday at 8pm we will have a draft and I will take over control of the Boston team if I cant get another owner and set them to auto pick. So please be ready on Tuesday, ill be sending out emails.

competitive start to the season. FYI a physical championship is being made and will be awarded to the winner each season for bragging rights I guess. Its basically being made by me as i try and figure out how to take apart the john cena title belt jakks made. What im figuring is the championship will be awarded for 6 months and you send or hand it back to me for keeping till the next winner.
