Tarquin, are you going to turn Harry Knopp into a running back?

Just tossing this out there like a holy hand grenade - the "Caerbannogs".

Not officially, he doesn't have the option. I might hand him the ball a few times.

I'm making a "Godzilla" play. Everyone on my team simultaneously points towards the horizon and screams "Godzilla!" When your team looks, that's when Harry goes in for the TD.

Both my QBs retired (with half my LBs) so I sent out 8 offers and these guys signed on. I still need a franchise QB.

Unless I find my franchise guy, I'm going with Sheppard. Knopp is the backup.

If anyone needs a backup QB (now that I've swiped a bunch), Cole and Smith are up for trade, cheap! Or, you could hope they hit FA again just prior to TC, and hope you're the only one bidding. ;) As always, my preference is future picks.

When the league admin gets off his lazy behind and actually inputs them....i.e. right about now if I've done them right.

Okay -- everything on my side looks like it took, so here's a change list -- if you want something done that isn't on this list, please let me know ASAP:

California Crusaders are now the New Jersey Crusaders, operating out of Rutherford (E. Rutherford wasn't an option...)

Aspen Wampas are now the Las Vegas Wampas, operating out of (obviously) Las Vegas.

Team helmets were uploaded for Columbus City Assassins and the Brooklyn Bombers.

Tennessee was assigned the Bandits nickname (as per owner pref)

Even though not requested, I changed the spelling to Golden Pterodactyls for Star City simply to avoid my spell check spazzing out nonstop over the former spelling. If there is a back story to why it was spelled the way it was, let me know and I can swap back.

Sorry for the delays...all the paperwork I had said my new round of courses started next week, so I piled on a lot of appointments this week to focus on academics starting Monday...only to discover that everything I was handed had the wrong calendar on it and classes started this past Monday...so now I have had choke reading, work AND all the appointments I scheduled...fml

One other change I forgot to mention since it impacted my own team, but the Perth Wallabies were relocated to Perth rather than North Dakota where the team had been headquartered out of.

Head Coach Charles Todd will always have a special place in his heart for Parlor City. After three consecutive Elite League Championships, he has indeed decided to canter off into the sunset of retirement ending his career probably on the most positive note possible.

Also joining him in retirement is Offensive Coordinator Tyrone Acosta and veteran all pro receiver Lawrence Owen. The whole team had a massive celebration at the Todd mansion where it is said that the former head coach of the Phantoms has a large replica of King Arthur's round table in his man cave.......along with three disco lights, poles, and cages for the go go dancers. A new chapter in Parlor City will begin next season, but the last three can be thought of as legendary.

Annnnd it just dawned on me today that by making Tennessee the Bandits, we now have two Bandit teams in the league. Enjoy the confusion on the weekly game schedule folks :) (sorry)
