The Players

The Mantasy Blog is designed to provide access to the world of fantasy football though the happenings of one league that has been in existence since 1999, when the ten league members arrived at Bowdoin College. Here is a quick list, with some personal notes, of each league member.

Play on, players.

Tim (The Ninth District) - Known for ridiculously over-zealous picks in the early rounds, Tim epitomizes going with you gut and ignoring "facts" and numbers. This often does not pay off.
Real team of choice: New York Giants

Chandler (Maurice Jones-Jew) - A very wily owner, no doubt, the New Orleans native playoff drought and inability to win the big game is well-documented. He has an affinity for the waiver wire and certainly knows his proverbial shit.
Real team of choice: New Orleans Saints

Rick (Do Your Balls Dangle Low?) - He has won two of the three previous years and has the confidence of Zack Morris during the high school years. He claims that "he and Peter dominate this league." Needless to say, he is lovable and everyone enjoys his company. He also loves Larry Fitzgerald. Rick is certainly on top of the hill right now and his team is ready to repeat.
Real team of choice: New England Patriots.

Fuller (Ray Rice Penis) - Last year, Chris owned Ray Rice and Chris Johnson and did not come anywhere near winning. He is the anti-Chandler when it comes to waiver wire work and we're all looking for some transactions this year. He has the talent of Adrian Peterson and the dedication of Maurice Clarett.
Real team of choice: New England Patriots

Sabo (Milk Steak And Jelly Beans) - Mike can be found at George Keeley - an Upper West Side bar for legends - consuming fine ales and knowledge that he gets from his iphone. The man is pure heart and dedication and it shows in his body of work. He has perpetual fantasy success, but is waiting to have the Big One. Think Stephen Jackson and turn him into a fantasy owner.
Real team of choice: New York Giants

Bart (That's gold, Jerry!! Gold!) - This year Bart owns the Patriots. This will, in typical fashion, probably hold him together for long enough to hand out some defeats before he falls apart mid season. He teaches in Arizona, plays golf, and sometimes needs to be reminded to set his lineup. If Tom Coughlin was his fantasy coach, he'd miss a lot of first quarters.
Real team of choice: New England Patriots

Judd (Chris Henry's X-treme Parkour) - Judd approaches fantasy football with hybrid strategy. Part scientist and part mystic, he is unpredictable and sometimes too heady. However, when it all comes together, his teams have been raging balls of pure energy that stomp out previously winning sides. He is always feared.
Real team of choice: New York Giants

Drew (Team 2010) - This southerner loves him some Titans football and some Albert King. His team name says it all. He has a certain post-modernist approach to the fantasy game that allows for guiltless picks such as Michael Turner at fifth overall. This attitude is a gift and a curse as it also landed him the mind-numbing Brandon Jacobs.

*Note: Since this was posted, Andrew has changed his team name to The Grundles, and accompanied it with a picture of George W. Bush. Keeping it real, political-style.
Real team of choice: Tennessee Titans

Brendan (Gym, Tan, Smoosh) - He is a man of numbers and his teams always have tons of NFC East players who aren't Giants. Although this draws the ire of several league mates, Wakeham is not concerned with such things and Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Chris Cooley, to name a few, have always made him a dangerous opponent. This year is no different and he looks to take the belt from Rick, who he called out numerous times in the war room.
Real team of choice: New England Patriots.

Pete (Debbie Does Dallas Clark) - Lately, Pete has played second fiddle to his football watching pal and current champion. Losing to Rick in the finals might feel okay now, but I'm guessing that he has plans to dethrone his Batman and make the statement that being Robin is only cool when played be a younger, sexier actor, which doesn't always happen. He has the savvy to win and all the tools to rebound from any obstacles that the Fantasy Gods place before him.
Real team of choice: New England Patriots.

Good luck, Gentlemen.
