The Elite League (Off Field) Awards



Let’s be clear, as much as we all love fantasy football, this league wouldn’t be anything without all of the off the field incidents, events, etc. Therefore I’ve put together some of the best for your consideration…if you feel as if someone got robbed, speak up!

RIVAL OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS

-          The Educators vs. Gotham Knights

-          The Educators vs. Sons of Thunder

-          The Educators vs. Sesame Street Gang

WINNER: The Educators vs. Gotham Knights
Synopsis: All of these are pretty close and it’s funny that Dan makes the cut each time, but due to recent events, this became the clear winner. Also, “I feel ya homie” gets me every. time.
 
STORY OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS

-          Justin Demps, “Christmas came early

-          Jonathan Brassington, “JB’s Pick 6; Week 8”

-          Justin Demps, “Fantasy Football Blues

-          Jonathan Brassington, “Whom is who 3?

WINNER: Justin Demps, “Christmas came early”
Synopsis: While there were multiple stories, they were primarily all written by two or three authors. The big deciding factor in this came down to the imgur (though I’m a huge Gif fan). I want to one day Google search ”Dan” and find this and show my kids. Classic.

CHRISTIAN STORY NOMINATIONS

-          Hery Diaz, “Time

-          Heathens, 0


WINNER: Hery Diaz, “Time”
Synopsis: Again, I was a little surprised this year. You can always count on someone to remind us that God made us special and He loves us very much, but there was only one this year.


VIDEO OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS:

-          Steven Hutchison, “Breaking .500”

-          Hery Diaz, “Week 8

-          Jonathan Brassington,

-          Steven Hutchison, “Are you excited?”

WINNER: Steven Hutchison, “Breaking .500”
Synopsis: Let’s be honest, Steve won first, second and third place (Helu, Helu) this year..."Are you excited?" was probably the favorite but, "Breaking .500" was brilliant (and he won that week).    

CREATIVITY OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS:

-          Jonathan Brassington, “JB’s Podcast

-          Steven Hutchison, “Ugly People

-          Justin Demps, “diddanlose.com

WINNER: Jonathan Brassington, “JB’s Podcast”
Synopsis: This was a TOUGH decision…a podcast, song and website were created this year in the league. However JB produced a podcast with background music, special guest, GM involvement, etc. The other two were great, great ideas but they didn’t involve having to work around other people’s time (which automatically makes anything tougher). Well done JB, well done…and congrats to all of the 2013 winners!!! Till next year…   

When you look back on all the great memories of the year, you could almost have to ask, “how does one stay off the page!?”

If 25 trades were processed this year that means there were at least 75 trades rejected… #weektwelve

The East vs. The West: A History Lesson


5-2.

The West has five championships. The East has two. [Spoiler Alert: You may not like what I’m about to say…] At first I consented upon the playoff change, it made sense, but I’ve recently had a change of thought which I now present to you.

Tuesday Morning Special

Co-worker: Wow! Stories? Podcast?? Songs!? WEBSITES? I’m surprised you haven’t made t-shirts about wins…” Me: “Hm. That’s a great idea. I’m sure it’s only because no one has thought of it yet…” #weektenpreview

Christmas Came Early This Year...


BREAKING NEWS!

(Taken from this morning's Washington Post)
"In a stunning turn of events, GM Daniel Martinez of "The Educators" loses to Bishop Demps of "The Gotham Knights" by 0.70pts after a scoring update via NFL.Com. This, after Martinez incessantly indulged in his "Daddy" fetish on the Elite League's message boards for four days. Sources close to Mr. Martinez are stating that he is on a 48 hour suicide watch to prevent him from harming himself or the message boards any further."

Wow. Just...incredible. I don't know what to say. *Shrugs* Dah, well, anyway, check out my new website if you haven't already guys! I know you'll love it. Especially you, Dan. I know it's not Father's Day, but I figured you'd appreciate it anyway "Dad". It's GREAT (make sure you click where it tells you to on the site as well): http://www.strikingly.com/did-dan-lose
