THE SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MANAGER
AWARDS
THE "TIS'
BETTER TO RECEIVE" AWARD
STEVE
Freeman, Owens, Moulds - 1, 2, 3. Who says
the secret to fantasy football success is to draft Running Backs and Quarterbacks
first??? And despite crappy years from all three of them, Steve wins 13
games, 3 weeklies, and 1st place in the Total Points!!!
Stephen Davis - a RUNNING BACK - had more than a little to do with that
though!
THE "RANDALL
CUNNINGHAM, PART II" AWARD
T / J
Kurt Warner???? After 16 games, you still have to ask - Who is this
guy??? And more importantly, where will he be next year!! Two years in
a row Tim and Jim have ended up with backup quarterbacks you couldn't give
away on Draft Night, but who have been right at the top of the QB position!
You've read it hear first - Next year, Jake Delhomme will be the T / J
Quarterback and will score 200 points!!
THE "IF
I HAD A HAMMER...." AWARD
PATRICK
....I'd trade it a for a Crystal Ball!! Patrick
got over the 70% mark in earning available points to his
team only in the last week of the season....
By the way, Patrick does have a hammer -
at least a boxful of them! As well as a list of tools that would make Home
Depot proud!!!
THE "PHANTOM"
AWARD
CHRIS Q
Nobody has seen him (except Pete), nobody
has talked to him (except Pete), and nobody has heard from him (except
Pete) - and rumor has it that all mail sent to "christopher_quinn@chase.com"
really gets forwarded to Pete!
But Chris - one of our two rookie "owners"
this year - came out on top compared to his brother!
THE "DAGWOOD
BUMSTEAD" AWARD
JIM
Dagwood is famous for two things - eating and sleeping. Jim only
one - sleeping. (Maybe for some other things too, but we want to keep this
as a family page!!) Has anybody ever called in as many players hurt,
benched, or on a bye week as Jim???
And yet, somehow Jim still won 2 weeklies and was a point away from another
in a week in which he forgot to send in his lineup (and in which neither
RB from the previous week played that week)) !!
Between Jim and Steve, it is now officially impossible to say Fantasy Football
is a "Science" !!
THE "EBENEEZER"
AWARD
C / E / R
Was there any other team that was more difficult
to make a trade with ??? C / E / R held on to their players like Scrooge
held on to his gold !!
But give credit where credit is due - two division titles and two finishes
in the top 3 for total points in two years - and two for two in Super Bowls
!!
THE "MOM
ALWAYS TOLD ME IF YOU HAD NOTHING NICE TO SAY.." AWARD
M / J
Nobody had fewer points scored
against them than Mark and Joe did this year !!
(C'mon, I'm really digging
deep here!!)
THE "WELL,
AT LEAST THE YANKEES WON!" AWARD
J / R / T
Its only about a month
and a half until pitchers and catchers report, and time to start rooting
for a Yankee 3-peat!! And that's gotta be better than rooting for Kordell
Stewart every week!
THE "I
GOT THE FIRST ROUND BLUES" AWARD
JEFF
Last
year - Barry Sanders (#3). This year - Steve Young (#5). NFL Players all
around the country will be checking our website next Septemnber hopig that
Jeff has not made them his first pick!!
Jeff
also gets the "MCI" Award for running his team entirely long distance!!
THE "JOE
B" AWARD
PETE Q
Joe set
the IOFFL standard for futility in 1998...or so we thought!! Lucky for
Pete that M/J was here this year!!
THE "WAIT
'TIL NEXT YEAR!" AWARD
B / G
Two years
in a row the "B" half of B/G has made it to the semi-finals, but has not
been able to get into the Super Bowl.....both times losing to C/E/R!
(Despite that, B/G still had an outstanding 1999!!)
and last but not least.............................
THE "I
LOVE MY FAMILY!" AWARD
FRANK
Who else
would put up this!?!?!?
(For
you astute observers out there, this is the same award I gave myself last
year.....saying something nice here guarantees I can do this again next
year!!)
