Nathan Hale (Bradshaw-shank Redemtion)
The "commish" as he's known to his friends, comes into this season with a lot of aspirations not only for his team but also for the league. He did not play fantasy football last season but is coming out of retirement this year in order to run the league and a team. Many have compared Hale to a younger Roger Goodell, we will see if he lives up to the billing.

Jonathan Perry (Show Me Yo TD's)
"JP" is in his first season serving as Assistant to the Commissioner. This is a role that he relishes and is very excited to fill. JP has come a long way since his first fantasy football draft, where he drafted Nate Kading (K) in the 4th round. Now JP is an accomplished fantasy player, who has made the playoffs 3 straight years in other leagues. However, his borderline obsession with his team, his penchant for tinkering with his lineup and his (at times) a-hole antics, have led some to call him the Ruxin of the league. We will see if he can put the rumors and murmurings behind him and focus on the game. Also of interest, JP is currently on the lamb for a slew of chainsaw murders.

Kevin Gibbs (#TMT topszn)
Kevin "TMT" Gibbs is by far the George Steinbrenner of this league. His bottomless pockets will make it difficult for other teams to compete, as will his ruthless determination to win. He was once banned from being a Big Brother, after the organization found that he had punched an underprivileged child over a game of "Old Maid". His antics also include yelling to a mentally handicapped person playing basketball "hey you're not handicapped you piece of S%@t." Some have suggested alcohol played a part in these incidents, however Mr. Gibbs' representation was unable to be reached for comment. Regardless of his off the field antics, Kevin is a ruthless competitor and a seasoned fantasy veteran.

David Hauser (Teddy's Cassel)
Hauser is no stranger to fantasy football. He is willing to do anything necassary to win. The only thing he hates more than losing is the Green Bay Packers. Hauser once broke up with a girlfriend of 3 years because her 4th cousin by marriage, twice removed, once sat next to Aaron Rodgers on the subway. Don't expect this guy to take the Packers defense or Mason Crosby for his team. Hopefully for Hauser, he will have more success this season than his Vikings have had in recent years.

Brandon Nicholas (Team Brandon)
Unlike some of the other members of this league, Brandon is completely new to Fantasy Football. There will certainly be some growing pains as this young rookie learns the unwritten ways of Fantasy sports. Some have said Brandon will be the "Taco" of this league. I have much more faith in him, I expect he we excel and I expect at least a playoff berth from him.

Brent Kirkley (Asking Madden)
Brent is one of the most experienced fantasy players in the league, however, the bulk of his fantasy experience is in fantasy baseball. Some commentators have compared this move from baseball to football, to Michael Jordan leaving the NBA to pursue a career in baseball. Let's hope for his sake it yields better results. When I talked to Brent about the possibility of playing fantasy football he seemed excited, but told me "I've maybe watched 5 football games in my life." Only time will tell how this Cinderella story will end.
Note: it is unclear at this time if the above picture is of Brent and his significant other. If so, Brent may be this league's version of Michael Sam. We will see if he will be able to live up to the constant media scrutiny and hype. Also the above comment about this being a Cinderella story, was not made in reference to Brent's possible sexual orientation.

Lucas Morris (Total Domination)
Like the chupacabra of his native Mexico, many claim that Lucas is a myth. I can tell you with all to much certainty that Lucas is real. The lore surrounding his trades is true as well. If you receive a trade offer from Lucas there is a better than decent chance he is trying to screw you. I believe in his heart of hearts Lucas doesn't intend for his trade offers to seem so one sided, but they often times don't come across that way. Lucas will most likely look to trade with Brent and Brandon, quite a bit. He doesn't bend and that is the secret to his success. Watch out, like the chupacabra he is real and he is viscous.

Ryan Domingos (Beats By Ray)
Ry Guy (pictured left) comes to us from Colorado which of course means he is half baked 24/7. This is a positive development for the rest of the league as we should be able to catch him in extremely friendly and laid back moods. In all seriousness though, Ryan is an experienced fantasy player and loves the Broncos. He posses the number 1 overall pick so it should be interesting to see what he does with his first pick. He may come from the Mile High city, but he's as down to earth as they come.
Note: they don't call it the mile high city for it's altitude. Ok.... that's the last weed joke.

Britney Fressel (Sack Lover)
Rest assured Britney's inclusion in this league has nothing to do with Title IX. Although she is the only female member of this league, she looks forward to the challenge of breaking down the stereotype that girls can't play fantasy football. She hails from the mean streets of Detroit, MI and won't be pushed around. Close personal friends with Eminem and Kid Rock, Britney knows what it takes to be successful. Look for a great year from this fantasy veteran who is as tough as the city she calls home.

Shawn Sovine (Manning 4 President)
Were gonna play to one song and one song only, lady humps by the black eyed peas.
"Whatcha gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside my trunk. I'm gonna, gonna get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady hump. My hump, my hump, my lovely lady hump".
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS, BUT IT'S PROVOCATIVE!!! IT GETS THE PEOPLE GOIN!!!

Tyler Riggs (NW Baller)
Tyler came into the group through Kevin Gibbs, but he has since been inducted into the wolfpack. Not much is known of his fantasy prowess, but his enthusiasm should lead to solid results. He will be moving to Cleveland soon in order to be closer to Johnny Manziel. Reports are that he plans to draft Manziel high, if this is the case look for some inside information from this team as he will certainly be in Manziel's inner circle.

Trey Nicely (Nicely Done)
Trey is the second Vikings fan in this league. I am intrigued to see him and Hauser fight over who gets Adrian Peterson. In all seriousness Trey adds more depth to this fantasy league, he is a seasoned veteran who lives breathes and eats football. Look for him to make a deep playoff run this year. He is already made prognostications of where he will finish this season, he is also making claims of a "secret" weapon that he plans to draft. Confidence is not lacking in this veteran.
