The BDFL fantasy football season wrapped up on January 23rd, as Scott, Todd, Kurt Albin, and I met up to watch the NFC Championship Game at Gilligan's on Eisenhower Blvd.  Scott didn't have the trophy to present to Kurt yet to signify his Brutal Bowl IX championship, but he had a check to hand to Kurt for his winnings!

Our Brutal Deluxe Football Podcast season is now done!  I hope our listeners enjoyed it.  Scott and I sure did!  Please don't hesitate to leave us comments here on the blog or forum, or on our shared items on Google Reader and Buzz.

Draft night is Friday, August 27th, 2010 @ 7pm.  Please be prompt or early. All are welcome to join me at Brutal Deluxe Headquarters, aka my house, where the beer will be flowing freely.  By freely I mean free, as in no charge.  I will provide beer and some snacks, you are welcome to bring something if you would like.

Just over five years ago I rolled out my home grown blogging engine here on Brutal Deluxe with a WYSIWYG editor to make posting of news stories and podcasts easy for everyone.  That worked reasonably well over the years, but the BrutalDeluxe.us website went through a few redesigns since then and the CSS had become broken.  I was in the middle of another redesign, in which I scrapped, and decided to not only redesign the website but to fix the WYSIWYG editor that I implemented within my home grown blogging engine.  While I am not completely finished with some of the design, including a new logo, and I have some more upgrading to do to the PHP powering the website, I thought I would let everyone know about the updates that are becoming quite visible.

The CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, that tell your web browser how to layout everything you see here, including the text had become very ugly over the past couple years.  I was not happy with the appearance of the blog posts announcing the latest podcasts and Alex had run into some odd behavior over the last year.  So I set about cleaning up the design so that the posts looked more professional and the site looked cleaner.  The last redesign of Brutal Deluxe was minimalist, mainly because the prior design was no longer working for us.  I wanted a website that looked less minimalist and more current.  I think this new design pulls that off and hope that the owners, listeners and readers feel the same way.  

The big change that only the owners will notice, as they are the only ones that get to use this feature, is the update of the WYSIWYG editor.  I had integrated the FCKeditor back in 2005 into my Buff blogging engine and I have been using  it with some updates since then.  In 2009 a group of folks created the CKeditor, based off the FCKeditor and they made it OpenSource, which technically I do not think the FCKeditor was.  The CKeditor is more modern and updated more regularly for the current browsers.  I purposefully reduced the number of features available to those doing posts so that only the features that were actually used are visible.  Also the spell checker within the CKeditor works!  

The other area that I have been tweaking is the list of BDFL champions, which you can navigate to from the navigation menu along the top.  The previous listing just had the logo from the team and the team owner.  I thought it would be more interesting to include the outcome of the game, including the MVP of the championship game.  I intend to spruce up the page a little more by possibly including logos for each of the Brutal Bowls.  This season we will be playing Brutal Bowl IX, which means next season will be our tenth!  I will have to see if I can come up with something special for our tenth season, suggestions are welcome and we have an entire year to think of something.  Look around the website and see if you notice anything not working properly.

According to Rotoworld:

Police in Charlotte have confirmed that Chris Henry died Thursday morning.

Henry was on life support since reportedly falling out of the back of a pickup truck following a domestic dispute with his fiancee on Wednesday afternoon. Henry, 26, had a string of arrests but had recently turned his life around after getting a second chance from the Bengals. Coach Marvin Lewis is scheduled to address the media at 11 a.m. ET. Our condolences go out to Henry's family and the Bengals.

(AP Sportswire - Middletown, PA) - The Middletown Brewers announced during their recent impending defeat that they will be donning throwback uniforms for the remainder of the season.  Following back to back Mid-Penn championships in 2007 and 2008 the Brewers changed their uniforms and the letter on their helmet. Ever since S.U.C.M.A. Gamecocks owner Kurt Stambaugh forced the Brewers franchise from playing a partial schedule in Hanover and owner Scott Buffington changed the name from the Hanover Hellions to the Middletown Brewers, the Brewers had donned blue and burnt orange uniforms with the letter B on their helmets, (pictured in the prior linked article).  This season the Brewers donned new black and purple uniforms with the letter M and a football slashing across the helmet, the team has struggled the entire season except when playing the Calorie Outlets.  But it is not the old blue and burnt orange the Brewers will be sporting the remainder of the season.

"I take partial blame for this season, while I have had some inconsistency the crux of the problem was a poor draft", said Buffington.  Buffington unveiled the throwback uniforms of the Hanover Hellions, the crimson red, white and black that was amongst the most feared in BDFL history.  "We had a proud history as the Hanover Hellions and we are hoping to awaken the ghosts of old for a little help the rest of the season", added Buffington.  The Hellions were Mid-Penn division champs and Brutal conference champions in 2005, losing to the Steel Curtainites in Brutal Bowl IV.  

Buffington vowed to deck out the entire stadium in Hanover Hellion colors and logos for the remainder of the season and no doubt this will anger S.U.C.M.A. Gamecock owner Kurt Stambaugh who found the Hellion team name to be offensive.  Hannover Doppelganger owner Andrew Bolin was pretty excited saying, "I was the Hellions biggest fan and while I was tempted, I never parted with my Hellion Devil Horned Hat!"  Bolin never really wears any gear for his current team whose name has changed more often than Apollo Creed's nicknames.

After a bout of strep throat, Scott is ready to talk NFL Draft 2009 with me tonight.  Our first preseason podcast of the 2009 season should be published by Wednesday.  Fire up those podcatchers! 

No promises to update this list in the future, but this list addresses most of the big trades and free agent moves.  I focus on fantasy football positions, but at the bottom of the free agent list are notable Offensive Line and Defensive free agents, no kickers.

Trades:
QB Sage Rosenfels - Minnesota Vikings
QB Jay Cutler - Chicago Bears
TE Kellen Winslow - Tampa Bay Bucs
TE Tony Gonzalez - Atlanta

Free Agents:
Note that the final two columns of each line is first the players 2008 team followed by the team who signed the player for 2009.  Some players still remain unsigned for the 2009 season, so you will see only one team listed.

Hanover, PA - It's official!  "I'm a PC" is the new team name of the Lost Knights of Revonah...for now.  Owner Andy Bolin in a press conference today said he was changing the teams name "until we collect our first win of the season". 

Fans fear name will stick for the entire season.  "They suck this year!" said one annoyed Knights fan.  "I don't see them winning a game all season" he added.  Another more optimistic fan said "Well at least we play the  Brewers soon, we might have a chance to get our name back this year."

Until then the Knights, err "I'm a PC" unveiled it's "I'm a helmet" design at the press conference.  Best of Luck the rest of the season?!

(AP Sportswire - Middletown) The Middletown Brewers franchise clinched their second division title in three years with a solid win over the Nitschke's this past weekend.  The Brewers rebounded from a difficult 2006 season in which the team missed the playoffs.  The franchise formally known as the Hanover Hellions was forced to relocate and change their name after S.U.C.M.A. Gate, which occurred in the off-season.  Hanover's favorite son, owner of the Middletown Brewers, Scott Buffington left another team in Hanover, the Lost Knights of Revonah owned by Andy Bolin.  Despite accepting the new team and bidding a fond farewell to Buffington and the Brewers, Hanover now wants Bolin and his Lost Knights out of town following a cheating incident uncovered during week one of the season.

The Brewers had high hopes for the 2007 season and with three weeks remaining in the regular season have clinched a Mid Penn Division Title.  Buffington said that he is going to rest his starters the remainder of the season, which will basically consist of supplying his team with some heavy winter warmer brews from his Middletown Brewery.  "We're calling it a season and will give our competitors a shot at beating us in the remaining weeks by playing every game even more drunk than usual", announced Buffington.  The Middletown Brewery Beers are solely responsible for the drunken look on the face of Tony Romo every time his photo is snapped and one would expect that grin to grow even more drunken looking for the remaining three games of the regular season. 

Buffington's Middletown Brewers have been receiving support from somewhere unexpected this season, especially after Lost Knights owner Andy Bolin declared Hanover his town prior to the season.  The Lost Knights have been playing to stadiums empty of home fans since week one and even their home games have turned into away games.  Andy Bolin and his Lost Knights will receive an asterisk if they would happen to win the BDFL title this season after being caught stealing defensive signals in week one of the season.  Hanover Mayor Maggie Hormel has been vocal on wanting Andy Bolin and his Knights out of town.  "The Lost Knights are truly lost, because Hanover is no home to cheaters",  said Hormel.  "We are very proud of our history with the Middletown Brewers and have adopted them as our home team away from home", added Hormel.  Hanover fans have been commuting to Middletown or wherever the Brewers are playing all season, breaking league attendance records.

The BDFL commissioner came down hard on Andy Bolin and his Lost Knights, stating that he would indeed place an asterisk on the trophy plate if the Lost Knights win the Brutal Bowl.  "This is an infraction that may well benefit the Lost Knights into next season and has no doubt benefited the season we are seeing from Tom Brady.  With the power vested in me I have no choice but to mark the occasion with an asterisk if it should occur." Buffington said solemnly.  Buffington continued, "Andrew Bolin, you have disgraced the BDFL and all of which it stands for."

Bolin refused to comment on the incident instead trying to get the Deluxe Football Conference to come to his aid.  Deluxe Football Conference president Scott Wood would not support Bolin, instead offering this response, "During my time above the Mason Dixon line I have witnessed nothing more offensive than the acts committed by Andrew Bolin.  May GOD have mercy on your soul Andrew Bolin because the Deluxe Football Conference will not."

CYG's new "calories kill" helmet design was unveiled today in the hopes of pushing 0 trans fats as a snacking alternative.  Team owner Alex Harden was inspired to create this design while watching his real life beloved Bills during their recent blown victory over the Dallas Cowboys as time ran out.   "I realised while watching the game that maybe the boys aren't snacking healthy" Harden was quoted.  "They had all the symptoms of unhealthy snacking, the offense shut down and the D lost their energy by games end." Harden added.  Harden's BDFL team plans to wear the helmets a few times a year starting this week with their game against The Yossarains.  "My Hope is this will create a better awareness of unhealthy snacking, hopefully what we can learn here is that healthy snacking will give a person, a team more energy in the end." said Harden "maybe through my team we can inspire a team, say the Bills, not to finish around .500 for the umteenth year in a row, heck maybe even win one Super Bowl!"

Coach Bolin was quick to down play the Legs misfortune, "I was right there last week and let me tell you it isn't fun knowing (watching) you should have won!"   Despite the help from the Legs the Knights posted a season high 122 points lead by the bookends QB Tom Brady (34 BDFL pts) going 23/29 311 yds and 4 TDS passing and the Patriots Defense (15 BDFL).  When asked about the "bookends" knowing what plays were coming due to taping allegations, Bolin's response was "I don't really care what they do in real life, this is the BDFL it's all on tape".  Marion Barber Jr continues to be a point machine (23 BDFL) and rookie Brandon Jackson and Alge Crumpler score their first TDs of the season.

• The Hated Legs 82, Cyg's Calorie Outlets 120:  The Cleveland offense couldn't have picked a better week to make history; Jamal Lewis' 27 BDFL points carried the Outlets to victory over their divisional foe.  Coach Steck was seen looking out at the field to make sure his two franchise RBs were out there.
• Middletown Brewers 127, The Steel Curtainites 110:  Coach Buffington called this a "shellacking"; I call it a polished victory.  This is a game that shows how a pair of great WR performances can propel a team to victory.
• The Tramps 126, SUCMA Gamecocks 105:  Another high-powered matchup produced The Tramps' first victory of the year.  Bengals were on both sides in this matchup, but the re-emergence of Cadillac Williams saved the day.
• Yodelin Yossarians 126, John Elway's Teeth 129: By their skin, the Teeth, led by the dominant Minnesota defense, scraped out a win over the Yossarians in a matchup that could have gone either way.
• Baltimore Banyanators 88, Shady Spring Tigers 94: A close game decided by a nice outing from Rudi Johnson and a solid game from the Jaguars D.
• Lost Knights of Revonah 100, The Nitschke's 107: The Nitschke's continue their improbable season by sticking with Jake Delhomme and getting great RB production.  The Patriots D excelled, but fell short by only a few BDFL points.

• Pittsburgh 26, Buffalo 3: Is Pittsburgh that good, or are Cleveland and Buffalo that bad?
• Houston 34, Carolina 21: Houston is the most improved team so far this season, so far.
• Jacksonville 13, Atlanta 7: Atlanta is in a freefall.
• Tampa Bay 31, New Orleans 14: The Saints will circle the wagons in the Superdome after an 0-2 start.
• Green Bay 35, NY Giants 13: Brett Favre and the Packers are looking pretty good.
• San Francisco 17, St. Louis 16: Only in the NFC West.
• Cleveland 51, Cincinnati 45: Only in the bottom of the AFC North.  But are the Bengals worse than the Texans right now?
• Indianapolis 22, Tennessee 20: Always a slugfest with these two, Indy's still a great team.
• Detroit 20, Minnesota 17: This could have gone either way if not for two missed FGs.  Detroit is 20% away from Kitna's 10-win guarantee.
• Dallas 37, Miami 20:  Is Dallas that good, or is Miami that bad?
• Arizona 23, Seattle 20:  Cyg's upset special of the week.  The Cards get a W.
• Baltimore 20, NY Jets 13:  SO?
• Denver 23, Oakland 20:  Elam's leg should be bronzed.
• Chicago 20, Kansas City 10:  ZZZZZ.
• New England 38, San Diego 14:  The Pats are that good.
• Washington 20, Philadelphia 12:  Donovan needs to improve his play.  He does have good receivers.  The media wants you to think he doesn't.

(AP - Sportswire, Middletown, PA) - While many teams in the league have been releasing the goings on of their teams and spilling rhetoric about how much this player or that player loves their old team or new team, the Middletown Brewers need not talk about it, and they are careful not to spill a drop.  One would find it difficult to find a Middletown Brewer without a smile on his face.  This is partially due to the new practice of offering any of their hundreds of freshly brewed beers to the players during and after practice.  The idea is so popular throughout the league that players were offering to pay owner Scott Buffington to draft them.  Peyton Manning and Ladainian Tomlinson were two players that tried to get out of their contracts in order to play for the beloved Middletown Brewers.  Rudi Johnson was so distraught about having to leave the Brewers that he entered grief rehab last week.

"We wish all the players could play in Middletown, but despite being commissioner I am handcuffed by the same rules as all the other owners", Buffington said.  He added, "If I allowed all the players that wanted to come to Middletown to play here, we would not have a league, just a team". 

Ladainian Tomlinson has been trying to get onto Buffington's team for years.  "I am stuck in this never ending torture that is playing for the Hated Legs", said Tomlinson.  Tomlinson continued, "Instead of enjoying fresh crisp beer I am forced to play for this team and owner that I absolutely hate".  Tomlinson was not the only Hated Legs player to express interest in playing for the Brewers.  A team meeting held the day following the draft found that unanimously all the players voted that they would rather be playing for the Middletown Brewers. 

Similar sentiments were heard elsewhere in the league, some of the players were just happy to be near the Middletown complex.  "Although I have to wear this stupid Scarlet Letter, at least I can drive down the road, hang out with the commish and enjoy some fine brews", said Hines Ward.

The Middletown players cannot seem to contain their happiness; Maurice Jones-Drew was drafted by Buffington as a rookie and has been welcomed back for another season in Middletown.  "I have been so happy that I cannot decide which last name to go with.  Buff told me to just use both", said Jones-Drew.

Tony Romo who was brought in to lead the Brewer offensive attack is so happy that no one has seen him without a smirk on his face.  "I can guarantee that everyone will be seeing this stupid grin on my face for the entire season", said a stupidly grinning Tony Romo.  "How can you not be happy being surrounded by the world's freshest and tastiest beer", Romo added with a beer mustache smile.

AP Sports Wire - Easley, SC --  Monday, fans didn't appear to be to impressed with this year's Tramps at this afternoon's rally for the 2007 squad.  Anxious about seeing this years club for the first time this season most fans had that dazed and confused look as each player was introduced.

Some of the South Carolinians also appeared to have a distaine for the state of Michigan reasoning of which at time of printing was unclear.

As for the new look Tramps, some fans tried to make it work.  Many fans however were chanting "We want Hobo" for the former team mascot, who was let go midseason 2006.  The forgotten Hobo had to take to the streets for money for karate lessons when his family was abducted by ninjas last season. Allegations of the accused ninjas being fellow BDFL team owner Scott Buffington's notorious ScottBuff Ninjas of the BADFL (Brutal Arena Deluxe Football League) are still under investigation.

Tramp talk 2007
Here are a few rumors from the Tramp Camp

 Word leaking out of the spacious football compound of the Tramps is that owner Ray “Streeter” Vampran is very happy with this year’s squad. “I think we have a solid team, we make a move with the backup qb, but that will be about it.” Coach Streeter has been heard around the compound criticizing Trent Green and a source close to the team said the only reason Trent is on the team is because Mr. Automatic Drew Bree’s has a bye early on in week 4.

A public riff may soon surface between the Tramps and the Lost Knights, according to a fly on the way in the lushes halls of the Tramp Camp compound Coach Streeter thinks that the Lost ones owner/coach Andy (whom the Tramps front office refers to as Y-dna, because Andy likes to be backwards about everything) has over stepped the BDFL boundaries.  Coach Streeter said “ You wake up after the draft and the first thing you see is Y-dna posting about Championships, dude needs to get a grip on reality because the road to the BDFL gold runs through the Carolina’s and as soon as Y-dna realizes that  the better off he will be.”  This may be the first shot fired at the Lost Knights, we will keep you posted!

A source close to the Tramps has alleged that Scott Buff is a secret cowboy fan. The source said “All during the draft the guy is talking about Americana stuff and we all know the old propaganda about America’s team being Dallas, and then Buff drafts Romo?” The source continued with “Look we at the Tramps Camp do not believe in coincidences, we simple look at the facts and make our own assumption about stuff.”

Interesting message written on the chalk board in the Tramps war room, which was full of profanity about the CYG and Buffalo Bill’s connection. The board had a lot of sophomoric type humor about the calorie outlets and Buffalo wings which seem to be a reference to the Outlets first round pick, which by the way was the Tramps guy at number 7. “Alex changed our whole draft board, we spent months on a strategy that had to be revised on the fly because Alex wanted his hometown teams new guy.” “We understand that logic and agree with it, however we WANTED the kid and Alex %^&#ed us!”   

 The Tramps new uniform is a hit, according to the folks at PBS this is the first time any major sports club has incorporated one of their characters into a professional sports marketing campaign. Ms May’eye Raisemoney from PBS headquarters said “The Tramps asked and we allowed, it’s a match made in heaven, the tramps understand PBS and we think that the tramps in time will understand us.”

56) Art Monk is almost as proud of his relative anonymity as he is the record-setting numbers he compiled over a 16-year NFL career.

57) When Monk spoke, it was usually with tough catches in the clutch moments of big games.

58) Nothing came naturally for Monk, who spent countless hours on the practice field and many more behind the projector.

59) I never saw Monk drop a pass. Period.

60) Monk’s 40-yard catch with eight minutes left in the first quarter of SBXXII was Doug Williams’ first completion of what would be a record setting game.

61) Named in a 1992 poll during the team’s 50th Anniversary Season as the most popular Redskin of all time.

62) Participates in a “Kid’s Fishing Day” for underprivileged kids

63) Has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, reciting children’s fairy tales with musical accompaniment.

64) “He’s more than just his receptions. Few players have been able to achieve what he’s achieved.” –Richie Petitbon

65) “He is a gifted athlete who takes great care of himself. He’s a guy who works at his craft, and responds to any challenge. However, he does it so quietly that his accomplishments are sometimes overlooked.”- Joe Gibbs

66) Selected to the 1989 All-Madden Team

67) Early in his career, Art arranged and scheduled charity basketball games for the Redskins.

68) “I can’t see how a receiver could be more valuable to a team.” –Gibbs

69) Fame is often hard earned. Character is often elusive to define. A man of great character himself, Art Monk encompasses what it means to be a candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

70) Monk wasn’t a “SportsCenter” type of receiver — more like a “Masterpiece Theatre” type.

71) You wouldn’t see Monk pull out a Sharpie to sign a ball after scoring a touchdown.

72) “He embodied the old school, and for that alone he should be enshrined so that when a father takes his son through the Hall of Fame, he can say, “Son, here is a man who once caught 106 passes in a season when no one was catching 100 passes. Here was a man who caught a pass in 183 straight games. And not once did he ever pull a cell phone out to make a call after any of those catches.” –Thomas Loverro, Washington Times

73) Football is a game of first downs and Monk was the receiver who would move the chains.

74) He has since been passed in this pass-crazy era, but in the context of when he played, Art Monk was a Hall of Fame receiver.

75) He did this while never playing with a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback.

76) Critics will say Monk benefited from playing in Joe Gibbs’ system. What might be the case is that the Gibbs system benefited from having Monk.

77) “I believe he’s a Hall of Famer. I was a pro scout when he was playing, so it was my job to know who those guys were. I would put Art in that category, but apparently there are a lot of Hall of Fame voters who don’t feel Art Monk was in that category. It’s hard for me to believe they ever saw him play.” –Bill Polian, President Indianapolis Colts

78) He was the anti-Terrell Owens.

79) He was the standard-bearer, the mold-maker and the receiver every team of his era wished they’d had.

80) He’s already a Hall Of Famer off the field.

81) It’s time.

(AP Sportswire - Denver, CO) - The fifth BDFL season completed with John Elway's Teeth defeating the heavily favored Hated Theismann's Legs, 108 to 91.  The game was particularly huge for Ron Dayne who keyed an otherwise sluggish Elway's Teeth offense.  Bill Temple who a week earlier masterfully restructured his entire defense on his way to a semi-final victory this time not only again changed his defense, but he picked Ron Dayne from the waiver wire just days prior to Brutal Bowl V.  Who would have thought that Ron Dayne would not only see major time in the championship game, but dominate it?

The BDFL routinely awards the Brutal Bowl MVP award in the days following the game and this season Ron Dayne was today awarded the MVP.  Dayne, a Heisman Trophy winner, has had a disappointing pro career, but with a Brutal Bowl MVP award he is now immortalized in BDFL history. 

The championship was the crowning achievement for Bill Temple who not only made some bold moves to win multiple BDFL playoff games but also beat the Hated Legs after owner Tom Steck guaranteed victory.  Tom Steck has since denied making the guarantee, but he did successfully earn his team yet another opponent who hates his team.  Temple after the game said that he had no hard feelings toward Tom Steck and denied hating Tom Steck's Theismann's Legs. 

"Nah, I understand his confidence, I mean look at my quarterbacks.  So no I do not hate the Hated Legs", said Temple.

The Eagles-Cowboys game turned out to be as important to the two teams in Brutal Bowl V as it was to the two NFL teams that played it.   The consistent Brian Westbrook (double-digit BDFL points in almost every start this year) led John Elway's teeth to the coveted BDFL Hood Ornament for the first time.  Theismann's Legs' feared RB combo of LJ and LT was held to 32 points, their second-to-lowest non-bye-week combination of the season.  This and the huge game by the KC defense were other contributors to the Teeth's victory.  Congrats to Coach Bill Temple!

Thanks to everyone for another fun BDFL season!  I believe we're the best fantasy football league in the world.  Kudos to Commissioner Scott Buffington for another smoothly-run season!

On behalf of the Deluxe Football Conference, it's members, teams and owners.  We congratulate John Elway's Teeth on their victory over the defending Brutal Bowl champions the Steel Curtainites and the conference championship.  Best of luck next week verses the Legs.  We look forward to seeing you bring another championship to the Deluxe Football Conference.  The best conference in the BDFL!

(AP Sportswire) - All that is left is the dotting of "i's" and crossing of the "t's" as the Hated Theismann's Legs and John Elway's Teeth both won their semi-final matchups.  The Hated Legs defeated The Tramps in a workman like performance that saw the Hated Legs doing what they have done all season, running over opponents with LT.  John Elway's Teeth smashed the defending champion Steel Curtainites with a huge defensive performance and a good quarterbacking performance from Ron Mexico as well as a  big rushing performance by fast Willie Parker.

The victory by John Elway's Teeth guaranteed that a new team will grace the BDFL Championship Trophy.  The Hated Legs have been a favorite for several years and have always fallen short.  Having finally made the championship game with perhaps the most feared rushing attack in BDFL history, the Hated Legs are an early favorite in Vegas.  John Elway's Teeth have been putting up large point totals all season long, they have a much more balanced attack than the Hated Legs, but who can argue with success. 

Christmas weekend will see the fifth Brutal Bowl played, be sure to tune in for this battle of the body parts.  Who will win, the legs of Theismann or the teeth of John Elway?

Dateline:  Mt. Holly Springs, PA

For a lot of Yossarian fans, the past several weeks have been eerily reminiscent of the miraculous 2004 season in which the team overcame a 0-5 start to sneak in the backdoor ultimately out-hustle the playoff bracket to enter the that exclusive club of Brutal Bowl Champions.  The team is riding the longest active win streak in the league and if not for a league-high 2 ties (one of which a result of a very hung-over head coach), would have claimed its second consecutive division title as a result of its 3-1 division record. 

Though the Yossarians have been in this position before, the team seems to understand that they are facing an uphill battle for sure.  When asked about the team’s pathetic 28.74 power ranking (lowest of all playoff teams), Kicker Jeff Wilkins, one of two current team members from that Brutal Bowl Championship squad, responded, “It’s a bit of a concern, yeah. There are a lot of good teams out there.  We need to step up.  We need to execute. We need to play within ourselves and take it one game at a time.  We can’t look ahead.  We’re in the driver’s seat.  You win or go home.  There’s no tomorrow.  We’re peaking at the right time and hopefully Jesus will help us meet our goal of nothing less than a championship.”  Wilkins, obviously stuck in a cliché loop, eventually pointed out that the 2004 team actually had a lower power ranking than the current team. 

The other holdover from the championship team, running back Shaun Alexander, says he learned a long time ago not to doubt Coach Hoyes.  “You gotta remember I was on that infamous 2003 team that led the league in narcotic violations and suspensions.   Our kicker was feeding the date-rape drug to pre-teens for chrissakes!  We had the worse record in the league that year and then we started the next season off 0-5.  But we turned that around to a championship and made the playoffs the last 3 seasons.”  

(AP Sportswire Easley, South Carolina) - This weeks Tramps opponent The Lost Knights of Revonah have made a generous donation to "Hobo" the Tramps mascot.

After arriving in town for this weekend's match up, the Lost Knights' Coach Bolin became aware of the mascots horrifying story.

Three weeks ago, after the Tramps last home game and 77-58 victory over the Steel Curtianities, "Hobo's" family was kidnapped by ninjas.  "Hobo" who is in desperate need of karate lessons to save his family was seen outside Tramps stadium with a sign telling his plight.   Coach Bolin approached the mascot upon arriving for a "walk through" at the stadium.  After speaking with the ragamuffin Coach Bolin reached in his pocket and handed him a $5 bill.  "I wished him luck and told him he could keep the change" Bolin said.  "I know life is tough down here south of the Mason Dixon" added Bolin "It's the least my organization can do."

Several calls were made to the Tramps front office for a response.  Their returned calls only said that they were unaware of the situation.  "It must have gotten lost in the excitement of making the play-offs" a spokesman was quoted.  "We've been on the road for the last 2 weeks, "Hobo" doesn't join us for the road games, he has a fear of flying and usually sticks to the roads and rails, this is the first we are aware of it"

Fans are left wondering why the organization would abandon "Hobo" in his time of need.  "He's a lovable Tramp" said one local fan.  The fan who decline to be idenified, having a sign of her own as she stood outside the stadium reading "Anyone But Amoroso" concluded that she wished the Tramps organization would have acted quicker to help the poor vagabond.  "I'm just happy Coach Bolin from the Knights helped him, it says a lot for him being a new owner in the league."

The Tramps(6-5-1) host the Lost Knights(6-5-1) this weekend at Tramps Stadium in the final game of the regular season.

Note: I thought I'd only watched the first three quarters of this week's MNF game and stated that in the 'cast. I still had it on the DVR; reviewing the end of the game today, I found I didn't give up on it until when Chicago punted before the offensive series that saw Brian Urlacher strip the ball from Edgerrin James, allowing Chicago to come within 6 points of the Cardinals. So I lasted about 3.5 quarters. ;)

Tramps Dangle Bell?

 As Reported by The Easley Progress

            Undefeated after three weeks in the BDFL sounds great, but for the struggling Tramps 1-0-2, this season is anything but grand. The team has two quarterbacks currently on their roster and neither one of them has stepped up to prove they are the leader. “We basically have a two headed monster at this point” said Coach Vamp.

            But the real weakness of this team appears to be the questionable Wide Receivers position. Javon Walker and Derrick Mason have both stepped up their games, but have yet to provide any real confidence among the coaching staff. Hines Ward has been hobbled by injuries and his production has been an area of concern for the offensive minded Tramps. “Any time you have healthy Hines Ward in the lineup you have a chance of having a fantastic fantasy week, we as a football staff have to get Hines healthy”, Coach Vamp recently said at his weekly press conference.

            The concerns over Hines Ward health prompted the Tramps to acquire the often-distractible Randy Moss off waivers from the Hellions this pass Thursday. “ Randy will start this week, we need to see what he has left in the tank”, Coach Vamp said when asked about the controversial Wide Receiver. Coach Vamp elaborated “ Randy was a keeper in this league a few years back, we need production from the wide outs on our football squad and Randy has proven in the past he is capable of producing.”

            Even with the Moss pickup and the anticipation of a healthy Hines Ward sources close to the Tramps situation have heard rumblings about the notion of moving running back Tatum Bell for a emerging receiver or a establish hard throwing quarterback. Coach Vamp even went so far as to say “ Look at the strength of this team, we have the best running backs in our history as a franchise!” “Tatum is a big part of that, so is DeShaun Foster, both of these guys could bring us much needed depth.” “ Edgerrin James and Ronnie Brown are our workhorses and that means Tatum and DeShaun have to wait in line to get carries.” “ Tatum and DeShaun are both too valuable to be inactive on any BDFL roster!” It should also come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the Tramps organization that Coach Vamp did not mention rookie Jerious Norwood. Coach Vamp has been long enamored by Norwood and has done everything in his power to keep him on the roster. This desire to keep Norwood a Tramp “may actually be the reason why Tatum and DeShaun could be available,” quoted a league source that wish’s to stay anonymous.

            No matter how you view the current situation around the Tramp Camp, one thing is certain Coach Vamp will be making the moves necessary to keep the Tramps in contention.

Press Statement:

Today, August the 22^nd 2006 the might Tramps football club is pleased to announce that it has hired David Lewis as head of its scouting department. David Lewis has close ties to the Tramps owner and has run several successful (and not so successful) fantasy teams. Often David Lewis can be found in fantasy leagues that are affiliated with the Nitevilla website and usually chooses the safe name of Dave’s Boingers as his team moniker.

David Lewis will immediately be in charge of the Tramps upcoming 2006 draft and will represent the Tramps in the online war room this Friday.

Owner Ray “ streeter” Vampran had the following comments:

“ David Lewis is a damn good football man and I am pleased to have him aboard. I first dangled this position to him at Turner Field as we watched a game between the Braves and Red Sox’s. Something about him in a Braves shirt and a Bo-Sox’s hat told me this guy could split his loyalties between his own fantasy teams in other leagues and running my Tramps organization.”

This is our second 2006-season Brutal Deluxe football podcast. Scott and I review the first full week of NFL preseason games. Some rookies made an impact, and some veterans looked good as well. Listen to see what we think. Also, Scott makes his yearly case for overlooked players who should be in the Hall Of Fame.

The 2006 Brutal Deluxe Football League draft will take place at 7:00pm on Friday, August 25th, 2006. We will again utilize the War Room, the same chat room that we used last season. I have upgraded to a newer version of the chatroom, so please test it out in advance to make sure it works for you. As I mentioned previously, everyone is welcome to join myself here at Brutal Deluxe Headquarters (my home), the more the merrier. If you do not have my home address from prior emails, let me know and I will provide you the address.  My home is easy to find right off of 283.  I am also going to offer you the choice of using Skype, all you need is a microphone we can chat just like we were on the phone.  My username is scotbuff on Skype and we can chat in advance to test it if you would like to use it.  If you intend to use Skype, let me know in advance so we can make sure it works for you.

I need each owner to RSVP to me on whether you will be attending. If you cannot attend, provide me with a wish list and I will try to provide you with the best draft I can. Previous years we have done this and have faired quite well for any owner that was unable to attend. I really need to hear from everyone, either comment on this post, email me or post on the forums. 

I will be updating the Rules section of the website to include the following new rules regarding the draft and smaller rosters.  This season we are trimming the draft to only 12 rounds, so that each team after 12 rounds of drafting would have 14 players (12 drafted + 2 keepers).  That would increase the free agent pool by 24 players since each team would be drafting 2 less positions.  The draft skeleton is also changing so that a team would have to fulfill the following roster requirement (keepers + draft):  at least 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K & 1 DST.  This skeleton accounts for 8 players and would have to be filled in the first 6 rounds.  This leaves each team with 6 draft picks to pick whatever they wanted.

Lastly, I will need to hear from everyone by August 18th with the two players you intend to keep this season. I do not need to know this until August 18th, this will give everyone a week to devise a draft strategy, particularly those who will be unable to join us on draft night. I hope everyone can attend and even more I hope to see you here at the house. There will be beer and at least snack food. If anyone would like to volunteer wings, that would save me the time of trying to get some.  At the conclusion of the draft I will get the rosters posted as soon as possible.  I realize the draft is a little earlier this season than last, but that is what you voted for.
