(WatchBlog McGee is a fictionalized blogger but reports on actual, flesh and bone, real-life fantasy football leagues. This year, he is embedded deep in the CFFFL, and will be periodically blogging on league matters.)
WatchBlog here again. I was given unprecedented access to internal league affairs last weekend, and the CFFFL news is alarming. This special WatchBlog issue will focus on these hot league issues coming out of the meetings. Let’s get to it.
League Fall Meeting in Arkansas
The Executive Committee of the CFFFL abandoned the home office last weekend to meet in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The Executive Committee, made up of 6 of the 10 team’s managers in the league, made the odd choice of meeting mid-season, and of conducting league business in the midst of week 2 games. An inside league source speculates that the weekend’s abrupt get-together would be better classified as an emergency meeting called by the Executive Committee to deal with recent corruption allegations levied against Commissioner Gary Cook. Here are just a few things I’ve learned from sources at the league meeting.
Performance Enhancing drugs?
A new scandal is developing with the 47ers, managed by Jerry “My team is falling apart” Cook. With the rash of injuries the 47ers have had since draft day, the league chatter suggests that more than bad-luck is at play. Many suspect that 47ers management has been requiring their players to “juice,” and thus the disproportionate amount of hurt players. (The 47ers cut and replaced over one half of their team since draft day in an effort to combat the injuries. Some would argue a horrible draft was more to blame for the turnover...)
WatchBlog under attack!
Last Thursday, a concerted effort to silence WatchBlog was mounted by one CFFFL manager. Amanda “I only check my email once a week” Cook complained to the league that WatchBlog’s postings were a bunch of “malarkey” and attempted to prevent my blog from even being posted. I assure my dedicated readers that WatchBlog will not be intimidated by these powerful league forces, and that I will continue to exercise my first amendment rights to free speech and freedom of the press! I am apparently getting close to blowing the lid off of sensitive league issues, so I will continue to be vigilant.
Inattentive Managers?
In a disturbing trend, several CFFFL teams seem to be ignoring their teams. In week the PlowBoys started, Dez Bryant, and inactive player, despite having other receivers on the roster that could have scored some points. Huh? Watch also for this weekend and the Hottez wit da bodiez game. If Miles Austin is inactive, will he still be in the starting lineup? If so, I think we may have a point shaving scandal on our hands.
WatchBlog out.
