Hunter:
Once a champion in 2011, the Bethany Hall's fell to an abysmal 5-8 record in 2012, followed by an embarrassing 2nd round exit to the eventual champ, Phil. After much hard work, dedication, late night pizzas, frustrating breakups, Hunter was ready to reclaim glory.
After stumbling to a mediocre 2-2 record, Hunter the Great ripped off an improbably 6 game win streak, riding the red hot Aaron Rodgers. Until....disaster struck. The Chicago Stupid Bears brutally injured Aaron Rodgers, forcing the fast acting manager to start Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and finally Ryan Tannehill. All hope was lost. Hunter ended the season on a 3 game losing streak.
The playoffs began, Hunter quickly ousted Devan in a barn burner, 188-185, thanks to a huge performance by T.Y. Hilton. Next came Hunter's foe, the man who knocked him out last year...Philip. It was an intense matchup, one that saw Hunter take the lead and win 167-147. Finally, the Cinderella story was about to meet it's match, the red hot team owned by Ethan Isaacs. They said Hunter couldn't pull it off. Ethan was favored by 20 points. But they cleared Rodgers to play! And play he did. Hunter ended up stomping the fucking shit out of Ethan's bitchass team to reclaim his former glory. Hunter is now a 2 time champion.
Ethan:
Coming into the league late last year, Ethan looked to make a name for himself. As the season started, like Hunter the Magnificent, Ethan was sitting at 2-2. He then went on a tear and finished the season 7-2, with the hottest team in the league. Nobody wanted to play him while he was on a tear. Ethan was constantly hammering teams by 30+. After a close call in the 2nd round, Ethan pulled out the win 194-192 against Ryan Tuttle.
Ethan then went against a red hot Danny Colemire, winning CONVINCINGLY 197-114. Everything was falling into place for Ethan to win the championship. He was going against an injury riddled Hunter Saylor, whose fans were becoming antsy with anticipation due to the extraordinary expectations to begin the season.
"Hunter who??" Ethan said before the big game. "His time is up, he's old. He won the championship in a 6 man league, he's with the big boys now. I don't give a fuck about no Hunter GAYlor".
Ethan lost the championship.
Philip:
There is nobody in the league more decorated than Philip Bagnoli. He has the most wins in the league, is a 3-time MVP, defending champion, and owner of 2 pennants and 2 division titles. Every year his team is a force to be reckoned with. Phil started the season off against the Cinderella team he beat the year before in the championship, Troy Tinsley. Phil won 296-167.
Phil finished the season 9-4, just like he previously had for the past 2 years. He grabbed the top seed and the MVP along with the division title. It all looked too easy for Phil, as he was the favorite. He moved into the second round against a warm up opponent, Shane Jennings. Phil laid Thor's Hammer down to continue his dominance over the league.
"Yeah, I don't even look at who I'm playing anymore. I just set my lineup and win. It's crazy." He was set to face his rival, Hunter Saylor for a trip to the championship.
"Hunter? Oh yeah. He won a championship in the 6 team league. I don't think anyone really counts that though. I'm a defending champ, I don't even know half the names in this league."
Phil lost by 20. He's still under the impression that he won the championship.
Danny:
Quietly a top feel good story. Danny began the season in style, racing out to a 5-0 start and looking unbeatable. He would only get 2 more wins the rest of the season. But luckily he played in a dogshit division and ended up winning the division title. He was headed into the playoffs as a number 2 seed, but a massive underdog.
He was going against Troy, the Cinderella team from last year who looked to continue his post season run.
"Ya know, I'm really just happy to be here. A lot of my fans are content with finishing in the middle of the pack. They really understand fantasy football ya know? They understand you have to rebuild and that takes patience."
Danny had Jamal Charles and Alex Smith. Troy never stood a chance.
"FUCK YEAH BITCH WE'RE GOING ALL THE MOTHER FUCKING WAY" an excited Danny Colemire exclaimed. Unfortunately, he ran into a red hot Ethan Isaacs in a sound, convincing defeat.
"It was humbling, yeah. We're going to get back on the practice field in the offseason and hope we can pull together a few wins and contend for the championship."
Ryan:
The Return. A highly anticipated event for the young manager. After a torrid 4-9 season, a season in which he took over a terrible team and made them competitive, the Fantasy world was excited to see what Ryan could do.
"Every day is a challenge. Last year I worked with what I had and got the most out of my players. I'm hoping to continue that success this season."
Ryan was considered one of the brightest young minds of the Fantasy world, in high demand, ultimately landing on a team in need of a rebuild.
Unfortunately, injuries plagued the prodigy's team and they finished a dismal 6-7 and a quick exit in the playoffs.
"It's hard man. We came out here and competed to the best of our abilities. Injuries happen, that's a part of the game. Hopefully we can come out here with a healthy core next year." Ryan walked out of the press conference disappointed. A lot of teams are trying to hire him to manage their Fantasy roster, and there is much speculation about what he'll do when his contract is up next year.
Devan:
He came in the middle of the season and coached his team to their first finish over .500 in their team history. Unfortunately he had a forgetful season and was bounced out of the playoffs in a nailbiter.
"I really wanted to win, ya know. I inherited this mess and fixing it will take a while. I ask the fans to please be patient." Devan said.
Fortunately, his fans are used to being the most mediocre team the past 3 years of the league's existence.
"We love our team, we had a crook owner before, but this new guy, he's all right. He got us over .500 for the first time ever and made us competitive," Roy, a self proclaimed super fan, said. "We got some good young guys, we're going to be good....hopefully."
Devan is also considered an up and comer in the league. Let's just hope they can afford him when his contract is up. At this rate, it seems Devan and Ryan are the new Magic and Bird.
Neil:
A massively disappointing season for a fierce competitor. After 2 years in the league, Neil has 2 division titles and a championship appearance. Unfortunately his team took a small dive last year and an even bigger dive this year. A 4-win season is not going to please the fans.
"I don't know what happened. It's like the fucking guy never checked his lineup. Has he even played Fantasy football before???" A fair question asked by Lavondell, a big fan of Neil's team.
"Unfortunately we did not meet the expectations that were on us at the beginning of the season. We will try to come out and take back our division next year" said a disgraced Neil.
With fan unrest, it'll be interesting to see how long Neil can hold out as manager. Rumors are swirling of a potential firing. This has been a long fall from grace for the once appraised manager.
Troy:
Constantly one of the worst teams in the league. Considered by some to be the worst Fantasy owner in history. Troy made a spectacular run in the playoffs last season, coming up short by 9 heartbreaking points.
Expectations were high for Troy heading into the season, but alas he went on a 9 game losing streak and finished dead last. But the playoffs were coming up. Anyone who knows Troy knows that he is one of the best minds when it comes to the playoffs. Nobody is as creative or smart as the young manager from England when it comes playoff time. He coasted in the first round, looking to continue his post season dominance. He was projected to win big agains the ice cold Danny Colemire.
The Cinderella story looked to continue. The fans rallied behind Never Had One. This was the year. Greatness awaited. The world believed. He was the heavy favorite, there was no possible scenario for him to lose.
He went against Jamal Charles and Alex Smith. Nothing was the same.
Kyle:
He traded AJ Green for Terrelle Pryor. He finished in last place.
