Out of the sandbox

We have had three trades announced today, as of the time we are writing this. Derek, Tirico and Steve made trades with each other as Derek traded with Tirico, then Derek traded with Steve, and finally Steve traded with Tirico. Steve added two 2nd round picks, when he had none at the start of the day, to move back two spots in the 1st round and gave up their 3rd round pick. The big news of giving up their 3rd round pick was they also gave up the player most would assume they would be keeping in the 3rd round, Odell Beckham Jr. This ends the teams relationship with ODB and Jennifer & Ronny were reached out to, to give a statement on this: " We would like to thank Mr. Beckham Jr. for his years of service to our team, both as Activities and these last few years as Jennifer & Ronny.

Ronny however, who is more quite and keeps to himself wants to get rid of the flashy wide out and keep the young RB with his high celling and very low risk being what round he ca...

As I start Season 4 of The League in re watching that wonderful program on HULU on my lunch break I got back to work and found an email. An Email that made me smile, an Email that made the clouds disappear and the sun to return to the sky. Our Fantasy Football draft is just four short weeks from Saturday!! Could this be? What wonderful news. It makes all things better, bad jobs, no money, can't pay bills, divorced, lonely or even the worst possible thing one can be, a western Michigan grad, no longer matters. Fantasy Football is back and life makes sense again. We have a lot of action that should take place before the trade deadline on July 27th. There are several teams with many good players who can be kept in the 9th round or later. With Keepers then due the following week, Saturday August  3rd, draft prep can finally be in full swing, for the 9 of us. BMR of course has been doing draft prep for several months and has a 156 page binder with every NFL teams depth chart and strengt...
