An open letter to my Fantasy Team (NFFL) / And you

I just emailed my fellow Fantasy League Managers with the following letter.

Please be advised that you all are included in my sentiment and are included as my new adoptive family

The league, (NFFL) is a "old school" 16 team touchdown only league that has been in

existence since the fall of 1987.

Here is the letter that I sent to the other 15 Team owners.

The response was written in response to my declaration of mine informing them of my becoming a Packer fan after having been a Bears fan since 1967.

I am serious. No punking.

here it is......

You are going to see your mom?

Eddo,

Outstanding Comeback! What you replied really did make me Laugh Out Loud :)

But I'm gunna guess you know what I meant.

I wasn't joking about this, my cardiac guy and I had a heart to heart (No pun Intended), and best case scenario with my heart's present condition, ten years is a realistic run to expect. I'm neither being darkly dramatic, or overly "religious" with what I'm about to say.

I'm just not afraid of this diagnosis. I know where I'm headed....

I'm good with a decade of life left. (And if at any time, any of you maniacs want to discuss privately getting on board with "Team Christ", and want to firm up you final destination living place email me privately @ Bggrzzzz@gmail or call me at (715) 207-0249 and I'll fill you in on the info) I'm just sayin' 😉 I remember Bill Adler's plight, and that whole story is still very much alive in my memory how sudden he left us and the NFFL.

I still miss Wild Bill and I still pray for Him and his family.

I just am going to try to make those ten years mean something to everyone while I still have time left to effect some modicum of difference in the lives of those around me.

Now, that being said, I'm on to Gary's questions and observations...

No Gary, April, my wife, is not a Packer backer. As a matter of fact she doesn't like football of any kind, which is just how I like it.

I have never lived any part of my life with a woman who liked football. It's so much easier having a spouse who is not a football fan, trust me.

As far as the respect thing, well "Uncle Gar" you'll get over it. I just can't take Bears management anymore, and Cutler is Jeff George reincarnated. He piles up personal stats but NEVER get's his teams to the "promised land".

That brings me to Aaron Rodgers. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I really like and respect that guy. He's just a Good, genuine guy.

And one last thing, I believe He is the best Packer quarterback I have ever seen play in Green bay. That includes "Saint Bart the 15th" and "The Gunslinger #4", If for no other reason than that that is why I plan to Cheer the Team in GB, for the duration of my days on earth.

So I'll close this reply by saying that I hope all of you In our NFFL Fantasy league, yes even The Donkeyboy" my arch enemy 😉, have a great and blessed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year and know that I love all of you, especially the Founding fathers of the NFFL.

Thanks to all of you for being my friends,

Carry on Men!

God Bless, everyone!

Wow... that starts as a very deep letter followed up by the reality that is Jay Cutler and the marriage they struck with him. I truly think Trestman was getting on some very thin ice for a bit there.. probably still wandering close to that line even now.

There are arguments to be made that Rodgers is the best of the Packer QB's.. just like one could mount a discussion for Starr or Favre.

But welcome aboard.. and here is to you beating the prognosis.

dfosterf (3h) : Just gotta figure out how.

dfosterf (3h) : Could have been a worse start, so there is that.

beast (4h) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it

Zero2Cool (12h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
