Good Morning Ladies & Gents - Jerry and I would like to welcome back all of our coaches kicking off our 2015 FFL season!

Initial headcount - If you plan on participating this year please contact myself or Jerry directly and ASAP. 2 leagues. Entry fees are 200$ and 100$ respectively. We will not have fees for Adds/Drops/Trades

League Fees - We prefer you pay in full on the day of the draft. You may also direct deposit to Jerry’s account or Sean will have PayPal available as well.

Rule Changes - Overall the rules remain the same. We’ve decided to drop the required TE and replace with a Flex spot (WR/TE/RB). Waivers will change slightly so that those teams with the better records will be lower in the order week to week (basically the reverse order of the standings). Playoff spots will be decided on the day of the draft. If you have questions/concerns/suggestions on the rules, let us know ASAP.

League Details found here.. http://bbqsmoke.football.cbssports.com/rules

Draft Party - For the most part everything will be the same. Keg Beer / Margaritas / BBQ / Music / DraftBoards. Time of the first and second draft will be firmed up. We will let everyone know how much we will charge for beer / liquor and/or bbq.

I expect this to be another great year and we look forward to seeing everyone!

Mark your calendars! August 29th it is! More details to come!

PING!! It's getting closer!! Who's ready?!?!

Happy New Year to all of you! 2014 is in the books! Jerry and I would like to take a moment and thank all of you for a great season and congratulate our Winners! Jerry has been out of pocket on vacation for the last couple of weeks and plans to send a follow up email early next week which includes this seasons payouts.

As for 2015 we already have great ideas (see the teaser at the bottom) to make our league/s even better! If you have suggestions of your own please let us know!

A special shout out from myself to our boy Jerry for running this league…… without you Perm…. this wouldn’t ever have been possible! I’ve been in a few different leagues over the years and I have to say our this far surpasses any of the others from draft day through seasons end. This is due largely to the great people involved year in and year out and we will no doubt continue to evolve. Have a great new year and we look forward to seeing you all again in September!!

BRING ON THE WINNERS CIRCLE!!!
