The Commish belonged to another fantasy football league, and he branched off to start his own league amongst co-workers and friends. September of 1999 the L.N.F.F.L was born.

This league was created not only for football lovers, but also for competitive individuals. So the Commish went to all his co-workers he thought would be interested and came out with 12 franchises; The Outsiders, The Chicago Airstrike , Ruff Ryders , The Wolfpac , The Mad Mack , The Warriors , The WS Hustlers , Da Hit Squad , The Outlawz , The MOC , The Killer Fins , and the Killa Beez. Let get started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Season 1 (1999 Inagural Year)

During the season competition was good, but half the league was new to fantasy sports, therefore they didn’t know exactly what to look forward to. Midway through the season the competition level picked up but for some teams it was to late. The Ruff Ryders broke out the gates recording a record of (9-0) behind the play of the self proclaimed 3 Amigo’s (Harrison, R.Moss, I.Bruce), until they went to Mackville and played the Mad Mack and lost to Marshall Faulk & dirty Kurt Warner. That’s when Da Hit Squad who was on the Ruff Ryder’s tail all year long made there push. During the last 7-week’s of the season the Ruff Ryders and Da Hit Squad battled to the finish line. The Ruff Ryders struggled but managed to finish those last 7 games with a record of (4-3), while Da Hit Squad poured it on and went (5-2) to even both teams records at (13-4). During that stretch Da Hit Squad scored 50 or more points 6 out of the 7 weeks to help tem win the championship on a tie-breaker. The Ruff Ryders came in 2nd place due to the tie-breaker. The WS Hustlers who was in this thing all year finished with a record of (10-7) and came in 3rd. While the Killer Fins finished 4th. the Mad Mack and the Outlawz had good years also finishing (9-8), while the Airstike finished .500 at (8-8). As for the rest of the league experience was a big factor and with a year of fantasy football under their belts, I’m looking forward to next year. We lost three franchises to other business ventures, The WS Hustlers, Warriors, and Wolfpac. Good luck in the future, and we have filled those spots with three new franchises; Assassins, Freeze, and the Terminators. So there you have it our Inaugural Season Champions are “DA HIT SQUAD” and next year all teams will be prepared! 1) DA HIT SQUAD ("99" CHAMPION) 2) RUFF RYDERS (lost on tie-breaker) 3) WS HUSTLERS 4) KILLER FINS

Season 2 (2000)

The draft was held at the home of the Freeze. The draft was a success the only major surprise was the Terminators selecting D.Culpepper as the first quarterback selected. Other than that I don’t think anyone team could truly say they liked the team they drafted. I say that because right after the draft GM’s were at each other discussing movement of players. At the beginning of the season things looked like it would be a dogfight to the finish. The Predators (formally known as the Killer Fins) was tough at the beginning, The Ruff Ryders started off great again. But to my surprise the Assassins played great early, they defeated Da Hit Squad last years champion in their first game of the season on Da Hit Squad championship day. The champ season didn’t look to good early hanging down at the bottom of the league in the standings. The Killa Beez early in the season played strong, The Wolverines also was in the thick of things, The Bodysnatcherz formally known, as the Outlawz was right there for the finish as well. The Outsiders played well at times. Throughout the whole season the competition was fierce and each week you didn’t know what would happen. Public Enemy formally known as MOC was an upset special; The Freeze was a team many didn’t want to play in the middle of the season. The Mad Mack predicted by the Commish Office as the team to look out for, was disappointing but only due to early injuries that hampered this team early.

Coming down the stretch it was tight; it went down to the last game of the season. Da Hit Squad fought there way back from the basement of the league to fight for the title, The Ruff Ryders once again was in the hunt. The Wolverines had the title in reach as well, and the Assassins in the franchise first season was looking to take home the gold. The Predators were looking for the mountaintop as well. This was a very exciting season that went down to a photo finish. Let me set up the scenario, week 16 the game between the Wolverines and Predators also known as the game of the 2000 season. Whoever loses this game could find there chances of wining the title slim to none. The Predators had this game in the bag, until a late touchdown by T.Holt to give the Wolverines the victory costing the Predators a shot at the title. But they still had a chance to make the payoffs. Week 17, all the Ruff Ryders had to do was win against the Outsiders and they would be champs, if the Ruff Ryders lose and Da Hit Squad beat Public Enemy then Da Hit Squad would be champs again. The Wolverines needed to win, and hope that the Ruff Ryders & Da Hit Squad lost to become champ. The Assassins need to win to make the payoffs and the Predators need to win and Assassins lost to make the payoffs. Now that the scenarios are set, here are the results. The Ruff Ryders lost to Marshall Faulk and the Outsiders, Da Hit Squad in a shocking upset lost to Public Enemy, The Wolverines won by one point against the Terminators, Assassins win, and the Predators lost. There you have it the Wolverines are your 2000 L.N.F.F.L CHAMPIONS. 1) WOLVERINES "00" CHAMPION 2) RUFF RYDERS 3) DA HIT SQUAD 4) ASSASSINS

Season 3 (2001)

This is the first year for the trade committee. The Committee was formed to make trades more even in the eyes of league officials. The Committee includes the Commish Royal Spearman, Tommy Bowling, and Dannie Bell. The Draft order selection show was April 23, 2001 and here is the draft order; KILLA BEEZ, PUBLIC ENEMY, MAD MACK, ASSASSINS, FREEZE, TERMINATORS, WOLVERINES, RUFF RYDERS, PREDATORS, DA HIT SQUAD, OUTSIDERS, BODYSNATCHERZ. The Draft was held Aug 25, 2001. With the #1 pick the Killa Beez select Randy Moss. We have a new member a former XFL owner of the Stalkers and former assistant to coach Mandel Johnson of Da Hit Squad, Anthony Johnson. Anthony has brought his expertise to the L.N.F.F.L and joins forces with the Public Enemy to make up the new team PE/S Corporate. But after one week the collaboration folded for unknown reason. On Sept. 16, 2001 the games were postponed due to the attack on America. The season got back on track after a week off. The Killa Beez, Bodysnatcherz, Da Wolfpac, and Public Enemy looked tough. The Assassins and Ruff Ryders struggled big time. Week 4 Da Hit Squad changed their name to Da Wolfpac. Week 6 the Bodysnatcherz changed their name for the second time to the Hot Boyz, and Public Enemy changed their names back to the M.O.C. Week 7 coach Johnson of Da Wolfpac formally known as Da Hit Squad declared war on the MOC formally known as Public Enemy because he believes his former assistant Anthony Johnson betrayed him. He thinks Anthony infiltrated his camp and gave MOC some vital information from his franchise. So he declared war, and the war was won by the MOC and the pupil has beat the teacher. From this point on MOC showed that they are a dominant force in the LNFFL. The Ruff Ryders are off to it’s worse start in league history starting the season 1-6 abut after beating the equally terrible Assassins the Ryders started to win. The Killa Beez this year has made some smart moves to hold down 1st place after week 10. The Terminators have lost 4 games on Monday night scores; they officially have the Monday Night Jinks. The Outsiders sent in a letter to the commish that they would be folding their membership in the league due to finding problems. At the same time the Commish has offered that vacant spot to the former co-owner of the PE/S Corporate Anthony Johnson who has agreed to join the league and bring the Stalkers to the L.N.F.F.L.

As the season go on things in the bottom division is getting tight. All teams are eligible for the payoffs except the Outsiders and they are not going away lightly, beating the Wolfpac, Ruff Ryders, and Wolverines to spoil their payoff’s party. Reminds me of a saying Nino Brown once said, “If I’m going down I’m taking a whole lot of teams with me.”

The Killa Beez were in the midst of breaking the best record record but there’s a roadblock against the Freeze that has put a halt to that record. Week 15 the Killa Beez Def scored a TD on a fake field goal but the Commish didn’t’ count that as a td for the Def. The Killa Beez sent it to the league officials for review, but the rule strongly states that Def Td’s are for fumbles, Int’s, Kick Return, Punt Returns Td’s only. The Beez proceeded to send this for review to the Commish Office and league official basically stuck to the rules and denied the touchdown costing the Killa Beez the lost. Even though this little contraversary came up the Freeze proceeded to leave the league due to time restraints, and the Killa Beez went on to win the 2001 L.N.F.F.L TITLE finishing wit h the best overall record in the L.N.F.F.L at (14-3). 2nd place went to The Wolverines. M.O.C finished in 3rd. And the Hot Boyz finished in 4th place. 1) KILLA BEEZ "01" CHAMPION 2) WOLVERINES 3) M.O.C 4) HOT BOYZ

KILLA BEEZ 2001 LNFFL CHAMPIONS

SEASON 4 (2002)

The Draft selection show took place April 22, and the order is; Wolfpac, Warriors, Killa Beez, Hot Boyz, MOC, Terminators, Mad Mack, Ruff Ryder’s, Killa Fins, Wolverines, Stalkers, Assassins. The Stalkers replaces the Outsiders, and the Warriors coached by Joaquin Garza replaces the Freeze. Draft day is August 31, 2002 at the Wolf’s Den home of the Wolfpac. The Warriors sent a letter to the Commish Office stating that he has a problem making the draft due to his friend getting married. The Commish told the Warriors that he need to make arrangements for his team. The Warriors will rely on the owner of the Hot Boys to draft for him. League officials starting making claims that the draft will not run smoothly if the Warriors are allowed to draft via satellite. The Commish tried to get the Warriors to join forces with former member Jason Richardson of the Outsiders therefore a member of there organization would be present, but the owner of the Warriors felt that the possibility of creative difficulties my destroy the team. Like we do everything in the league we took it to a vote. While the polls where being created, the owner of the Warriors decided to sell his team to former league member the Jason Richardson of the Outsiders. August 31,2002 the draft took place at The Wolf’s Den the home of the Wolfpac. There was a after draft party in which was not sanctioned by the LNFFL, therefore I will not add the details of the party to our history, but I can say this if you missed it, you missed one hellava shindig and if I tell you about it, I will have to kill ya. Now on to the draft. Here’s who were selected in the first round. The Wolfpac selected Ricky Williams, The Outsiders selected Marshall Faulk, The Killa Beez selected S.Alexander, the Hot Boyz selected R.Moss, The MOC selected K.Warner, The Terminators selected T.Owens, The Mad Mack selected E.George, The Ruff Ryders selected Ah.Green, The Killer Fins selected M.Harrison, the Wolverines selected C.Martin, The Stalkers selected A.Thomas, and the Assassins selected Ed.James.

The Hot Boyz didn’t waste no time in making trades pulling off 2 trades before week 1 even got started. They traded D.Boston & D.Levens to the Ruff Ryders for P.Buress & M.Anderson. Then the next day they traded J.Bettis & D.Terrell to the Killer Fins for B.Franks & TJ.Duckett. Can the Hot Boyz win in the LNFFL with rookies at running back we will soon see. 3 week in the season and we have 4 teams undefeated; Terminators, Da Hit Squad, Ruff Ryders, and the Killer Fins. These 4 teams jump out fast against the other teams, but the Terminators look stronger than ever. Ever since the Killa Beez coach left on there honeymoon, there assistant coached haven’t been able to keep that enthusiasm going in this team and they have lost the both games since the coach went on vacation.

The Hot Boyz are heading south in a hurry, The Assassins, Outsiders, and the Mad Mack can’t get any productions from there main horses. The MOC might have competition for Bye-Week from the newcomer the Stalkers both team starting off 0-3. The Wolverines are having a tough go around this year so far due to injuries in there camp. Halfway through the season we have one team holding down that first place spot. The Terminators are dominating in all area’s right now with Da Hit Squad, Ruff Ryders, Wolverines, and Killa Beez on there tales. The Wolverines started off slow, but have won 4 straight games putting them right back in the title hunt. The Killer Fins are starting to slip from the elite. The Assassins have been the most disappointing team thus far, with all that talent they should be one of the elite. After the 11th week of the season Da Hit Squad are in 1st place, followed closely by the Terminators, Ruff Ryders. The Wolverines and Killer Fins are still in the hunt as well. The Game of the Week for Week 11 was Ruff Ryders vs Killa Beez with the loser leave New York City. The Ruff Ryders won the game 30-24 and the Beez were sent packing to Detroit. A member of league had someone from U-Haul call to confirm a rental, the U-Haul bandit still haven’t come clean, but that was classic, very funny…. The following week the U-Haul bandit came clean and declared war on the Killa Beez. Tommy Bowling coach and owner of the Killer Fins is the culprit. He’s the mastermind behind this wonderful prank. The only reason he did this is because earlier in the season (Week 6) the Killa Beez and Killer Fins played a game for the rights to call themselves Killa/Killer. The Killer Beez won that game and the Fins used that as motivation behind the scheme and the rematch week 12. The Fins won the rematch and regained Killer rights. Also Da Hit Squad has opened up a 2 game lead and with Michael Vick, Ricky Williams, and Priest Holmes playing the best football right know and they all belong to Da Hit Squad we can see why. The league has also decided to cancel the membership of the M.O.C in the LNFFL next season. We believe that their coach and owners don’t really care about this organization or team, The Commish will seize control for remainder of the season. Heading down the home stretch Da Hit Squad still has that 2 game lead but in Week 15 all the top teams (Da Hit Squad, Terminators, Ruff Ryders, Wolverines.) The Killer Fins won getting them back in contention. The Ruff Ryders could of gained a game on Da Hit Squad but a lost to the Rook (Stalkers) put them in a tough situation with games against the Killer Fins and Wolverines coming up for the final 2. P.Holmes the leading candidate for MVP for Da Hit Squad also might be out for the season beginning week 16 could this cost Da Hit Squad the title with games coming up against there nemesis the MOC and the tough Terminators. The end of the 4th season of LNFFL sports was great. Even though Da Hit Squad lost P.Holmes for the season, the damage was already done plus with the Terminators and Ruff Ryders losing Da Hit Squad won the title. The Killer Fins finished in 2nd place with a end of the season surge to the top. The Terminators slipped a little but still finished in 3rd place. The Ruff Ryders played what might be the game of the year or could be the game of LNFFL history when they met the Wolverines week 17. Once again the Ruff Ryders had to win to finish in 4th place. If they were to lose to the Wolverines, the Ruff Ryders would fall from the payoffs and the Wolverines would take their spot. The final score was 31-30 Wolverines pulled off late game heroics and kicker J.Elam kicked one final point to secure the victory. The Ruff Ryders once again in the words of Jaye of the Wolverines “The Ruff Ryders have circled the wagon once again like the Buffalo Bills.” Da Hit Squad is your LNFFL Champion for the 2nd time. 2nd place went to the Killer Fins, 3rd place finisher was the Wolverines, and the Terminators finished in 4th place. 1) DA HIT SQUAD "02" CHAMPION 2) KILLER FINS 3) WOLVERINES 4) TERMINATORS

SEASON 5 (2003)(ANNIVERSARY)

The season started off with the draft as usual and we welcomed Troy to the league and he had #1 pick. We also franchised players from our team the previous season so here’s who was franchised; Troy (franchising from The M.O.C squad) Jam.Lewis, Outsiders- M.Faulk, Assassins-Ed.James, MadMaxx-E.George, Killa Beez- S.Alexander, Stalkers- C.Dillon, Hot Boyz-C.Portis, Ruff Ryders-D.Culpepper, Terminators- L.Tomlinson, Wolverines- D.McAllister, Killer Fins-M.Harrison, and The Champ Da Hit Squad Franchised- R.Williams. Then we went on to the draft with Troy and the CT Hustlers selecting D.McNabb with the #1 pick in the draft, #2 Outsiders selected P.Holmes, #3 Assassins selected T.Henry, #4MadMaxx selected Step.Davis, #5 Killa Beez selected R.Moss, #6Stalkers selected T.Owens, #7Hot Boyz selected W.Green, #8 Ruff Ryders selected Ah.Green, #9Terminators selected E.Moulds, #10Wolverines selected T.Barber, #11Killer Fins selected J.Horn, and #12 Da Hit Squad selected F.Taylor. Week 1 and the Outsiders were out to dominate, he went to Da Hit Squad and won on championship ceremony night. The CT Hustlers first season, first game, first win over the Terminators. The Ruff Ryders start fast as well. The Assassins, The Ruff Ryders, and the Outsiders look like they were trying to get to the playoffs as fast as possible until the Outsiders ran up against the Terminators and lost leaving only 2 undefeated Week 5 the Assassins (4-0) ‘vs’ The Ruff Ryders(4-0) was for sole possession of first place. This had to be one of the best game ever played in LNFFL history. The Ruff Ryders started fast leading by 25pts going into the 4th quarter. The Assassins didn’t go away quiet and came back in the 4th to win a controversial game 59-57. The Ruff Ryders claim that the ref’s blew a call on the Chiefs kickoff that cost them the victory. The Ryders then went on to lose to the Outsiders and Killer Fins. As you can tell I haven’t mentioned previous powerhouses because they are struggling this season. Last years champ Da Hit Squad midway through this season is (4-4) and having a rough time trying to repeat. The Wolverines has got to be the biggest disappointment thus far and they come in @ (2-6) and they started the season losing there first five games. The Terminators from the start struggled but are starting to put the pieces together for a run at it but they are (3-4-1). For the rest of the league midway through the season the Stalkers, and the MadMaxx could still make it but will have to win out the second half. For the CT Hustlers even though they beat Da Hit Squad and upset the first place Assassins week 9, They are not in a good position to go for the playoffs. The Hot Boyz has been a very disappointing team as well with the talent they have but midway through the season look like they could battle The Rook for the Bye-Week Title. Week 10 The Outsiders and The Assassins met to determine who will have sole possession of first place. They both came into this game (8-1). After the game The Outsiders stood alone in first place with a 38-34 victory over the Assassins. The Terminators continue to climb up and is challenging the Killer Fins for 4th place. While The Ruff Ryders are still in 3rd. The MadMaxx and Da Hit Squad are right there in striking distance. It's getting down to where teams separate themselves from the pretenders. Week 14 The Assassins are in, The Outsiders are in, The Ruff Ryders are in. Now that final spot is trick. The Killer FIns own that spot as we speak, but The Terminators, Da Hit Squad, and The KIlla Beez still can get that spot. When it was all said and done, The Fins are the 4th team and we are own to our first playoffs in the LNFFL. For the payoff playoffs- The Outsiders beat the Ruff Ryders and The Assassins beat the Killer Fins to set up the first ever title game with the Outsiders 'vs' Assassins. The Outsiders won the game easily and are the 1st LNFFL BOWL I champ. The Fins beat the Ruff Ryders for 3rd place. For the Consolation Bowl The Terminators beat Da Hit Squad to take the prize of the 5th pick in next years draft, while the Beez beat the Maxx for the 7th pick. In the Toilet Bowl The CT Hustlers beat the Stalkers to for the second year in a row have the #1 pick in the draft. The Wolverines beat the Hot Boyz for the 3rd pick. There you have it folks, the OUTSIDERS are your LNFFL BOWL 1 CHAMPIONS. 1) OUTSIDERS "O3" CHAMPION 2) ASSASSINS 3) KILLER FINS 4) RUFF RYDERS

SEASON 6 (2004)

This is the second season of franchising players, here’s who teams franchised; Outsiders– P.Holmes, Da Hit Squad– F.Taylor, Killa Beez– S.Alexander, Hot Boyz– C.Portis, Ruff Ryders– Ah.Green, Terminators– L.Tomlinson, MadMaxx– Step.Davis, CT Hustlers-Jam.Lewis, Assassins– Ed.James, Killer Fins-M.Harrison, Stalkers– T.Owens, Wolverines– D.McAllister. The Outsiders changed helmets and then set out to be the first team to repeat as LNFFL Champs failed to win against a former champion the Killer Beez week 1. While Da Hit Squad opened the season putting there foot all in the Hot Boyz butt 64-33. This had to be the week of big wins because the Ruff Ryders also broke there foot off in the MadMaxx azz beating them 71-16. Both participants in the 1st ever LNFFL Bowl last year lost there first game of the season. The Commish after the draft pegged the Wolverines the team to beat, and they started out 0-3 losing all 3 games by 20 plus pts. By Week 5 The Stalkers were sitting pretty in 1st place undefeated while everyone else had at least 2 losses. On the other hand Da Hit Squad was sitting in last place at 1-4 and having the worst season in there history thus far. After that fast start, the Stalkers ran into the tougher opponents midway through the season and came away 3-2-1 and still look like they are the team to beat this season as they hope to become the youngest and fastest to win the title. While the Stalkers were tearing through the league, the Wolverines on the other hand were stinking up the joint. By week 12 they were 2-10 with a 7 game losing steak mid-way through the season. The Killer Fins had a up and down season win a few lose a few throughout the entire season not a good way to play if you want to make the playoffs. By week 10 the Outsiders 7-3-0 have come back and are .5 games behind the leading Stakers who sit with a record of 7-2-1. The MadMaxx quietly sits in third place while the Terminators, Assassins, Killer Fins, and CT Hustlers fight for the 4th spot with a half game separating them. The Ruff Ryders, Da Hit Squad, and the Wolverines continue to struggle this season.

The MadMaxx were sitting pretty until a late season losing streak cost them to blow there chances at a playoff bid losing 3 straight games to close out the season. The Terminators on the other hand snapped and went on a 7 game win streak to claim the top spot from the Stalkers who faltered down the stretch and fell to the 4th seed. The Stalkers after week 10 went 1-4 but still managed to stay in the hunt. The Outsiders are looking good and are right where they want to be going for a repeat. While the Assassins have quietly moved in contention and sit in 3rd.

When it was all said and done the Outsiders and Assassins both teams that went for the title last year, are in the playoffs again alone with the #1 team The Terminators and the Stalkers who almost turned a promising season to a lost season. The Killa Beez were highly disappointed in not making the dance once again.

In the playoffs the The Stalkers who started out strong went toe to toe with the #1 seeded Terminators who ended strong and had hopes of taking it to the house. But the Stalkers pulls off the upset and goes to the LNFFL BOWL II. In the other final four matchup, last years bowl participants squared off in a rematch but the results were the same the Outsiders once again  squeaked out the victory. In the bowl game the Stalkers looking like the did at the beginning of the season gave the Outsiders all they could handle behind a great game by J.Plummer, Jul Jones and Randy Moss. The Outsiders without injured P.Holmes last season star were unable to deny the Stalkers who became the youngest and fastest LNFFL CHAMPION!!!! 1) STALKKERS "04" CHAMPION 2) OUTSIDERS 3) TERMINATORS 4) ASSASSINS

SEASON 7 (2005)

This season marks the last year in our 3 year contract signed for franchising players. The players franchised this season are; Killer Fins-M.Harrison, Hot Boyz - C.Portis, Wolverines– D.McAllister, Ruff Ryders– C.Johnson, Killa Beez-S.Alexander, Da Hit Squad– Dom.Davis, MadMaxx-C.Dillon, CT Hustlers-Jam.Lewis, Terminators-L.Tomlinson, Assassins– Ed.James, Outsiders-P.Holmes, and Stalkers-Jul Jones. The Killer Fins once again grab the #1 pick after winning the Toilet Bowl for the 2nd consecutive year. They drafted Randy Moss with the #1 pick teaming him with Harrison. Week 1 started off with the Stalkers last years champs blowing the Assassins out 51-4 in a game that showed the team clicking on all cylinders behind 2 tds behind K.McCardell. The Outsiders also started out fast beating the Killa Beez week 1 30-25. Both participants in the title game last year have started off fast. The MadMaxx finally breaks the curse by beating the Ruff Ryders for the first time in 8 games. They haven’t beat the Ruff Ryders since there first meeting in 1999. The CT Hustlers and Da Hit Squad once again start the season with losses and seem to be in for another long season. Hopefully they can get things back on the right track. By week 5 The Terminators are having another strong season along with the Stalkers and the high powered scoring machine of the Killa Beez who all sit at 4-1. The Assassins and the Outsiders are still in the hunt and have made claim of being consistent teams throughout this 3 year contact of franchise players. The Outsiders have a two headed monster in P.Holmes and L.Johnson that is tough to overcome. The Ruff Ryders and Da Hit Squad who both had hopes of returning to there glory days are sitting at 1-4 with the CT Hustlers holding up the rear. And are a lost for words. The Ryders totally disappointed with the progress of there team are hit with the injury bug and things aren’t going there way at all. By week 10 the Outsiders are looking to win there 2nd title in 3 years in the Franchise Era. They are sitting in 1st place after going on a 6 game winning streak behind the tandem of LJ and Priest. The Killa Beez are putting up point in record fashing and are sitting in second. While Da Hit Squad has left the Ruff Ryders and Hustlers in the basement and have come back into the crowd and sits in a tie for 5th. This season has a lot of up and downs but one thing that’s consistent are the Outsiders and the Killa Beez. They seem to be on a collision course in the bowl game. The Terminators are sliding as well are the Killer Fins and the Hot Boyz. The franchise just can’t seem to get things going there way. The Ruff Ryders are in total disbelief at how the injury bug has torn through there team and how the other players aren't’ producing and this has been the worst season for this franchise in there history.

By week 15 the playoff were set and the Terminators and MadMaxx were on the outside looking in on the Outsiders, Da Hit Squad who came from the basement to the penthouse. The Wolverines who quietly slipped into 3rd and the Killa Beez.

In the playoffs final four round the Outsiders and the Killa Beez lit up the score board but the Outsiders came away with the victory 64-50 behind great games from L.Johnson & C.Chambers. The Killa Beez counted with S.Alexander exploding but it wasn’t enough. In the other matchup Da Hit Squad squared off against the Wolverines and pulled out the victory behind a good running game from M.Anderson & Ricky Williams. Setting up a title game against two arch rivals in the Outsiders and Da Hit Squad. In the title game which turned out to be closer than we thought. The Outsiders L.Johnson exploded for 24 fantasy points and that helped the Outsiders hold off Da Hit Squad who had a balanced attack going behind J.Galloway. The Outsider win’s there 2nd LNFFL Title being the only other 2 time LNFFL champ who was trying for there 3rd title. This has got to go down as one of the greatest LNFFL Seasons. At the conclusion of this season. The Killer Fins retired from the league to start there own League better known as the M.o.M league. We replaced him with Russell Robinson and welcomed the Ghost Ridahs into the league. We also expanded and added 2 more franchise for a total of 14 teams. As we welcome two teams that were in our LNFFL Shadow School. We would like to welcome the Reapers coached by Frank McGee & the Po Pimp’s coached by Herman Weaver. We also decided not to renew our contract for franchising players. 1) OUTSIDERS "05" CHAMPION 2) DA HIT SQUAD 3) WOLVERINES 4) KILLA BEEZ

SEASON 8 (2006)

This years draft took place at the Home of the Terminators. Who also had the #1 pick and took Mr. Shaun Alexander who happens to be on the cover of the new John Madden 2008 football game. This jinx is serious and in week x it finally struck the Terminators. With the Killer Fins leaving and The Ghost Ridahs taking there place. With the addition of 2 expansion teams in the Reapers and Po Pimps. The LNFFL has expanded to a 14 team league. This season sure seem to be a battle throughout for everyone. Like I just mentioned surprise started immediately. Da Hit Squad with the 3rd pick passed on L.Tomlinson and drafted Ed. James a former Hit Squad player. Shocked is all I can say from the silence in the draft room but we move on and the new Ghost Ridahs arguable get’s the best fantasy players as a gift. On paper there are a few teams that stand out but all in all things are pretty even across the board. By week 5, 1 games separate half the league from 1st place and it’s still anybodies race. But surprisingly the MadMaxx sits in 1st place and seem to be putting on a strong display. Da Hit Squad and Outsiders once again sitting pretty as well as the Beez and Ruff Ryders. But to my surprise the Reapers and Po Pimps are right in the thick of things. While the Ghost Ridahs are off to a slow start. The Wolverines drafted Reggie Bush in the first round and they are not winning games on this move. The Reggie Bush Xperience through five games have given them a 1-5 record. Equally disappointed in there team performance are the Assassins who look solid on paper but thus far are only 1-4 and sitting in 14th place overall. But we all know history proves that the Assassins will be around til the end, don’t count them out quite yet.

By week 10 the MadMaxx are still holding on to there #1 spot but Da Hit Squad and the Reapers have gained on them and pulled into a tie for that top spot. Will the pressure be to much to handle and could the rookie Reapers go with the I have nothing to prove mentality.

Like I figured we are a little over the midway point of the season and 3/4 of the league still have a shot to making it to the payoffs/playoffs. But the Wolverines and the Reggie Bush Xperience sits in 14th place Midway through the season, The MadMaxx bottom fell out and the Rookie Reapers took over the #1 spot and didn’t let it go heading towards the playoffs. And after starting off slow, LT and the Ghost Ridahs are mowing through the competition and are heading for a playoff payday.

Heading down the stretch the Assassins couldn’t make the playoffs and they were up against all the potential playoff contenders and decided to play spoiler and go on a “Spoiler Tour” is what he called it. And not only did he beat the potential playoff participants, he mad the Outsiders have a difficult talk week 15, and he damaged any hopes the Ruff Ryders had.

Believe it or not we still had a host of teams with playoff admirations. But when it was all said and done the 4 teams fighting for a nice payday were; Terminators, Da Hit Squad, Reapers, and the Ghost Ridahs. These four teams appeared from the smoke and are heading towards the LNFFL BOWL IV. 2 Rookies made the playoffs and in there matchup many thought LT was going to use his power to get the Ghost Ridahs to the bowl game but The Reapers and there consistent play proved that they are still the #1 teams to beat. In the 2nd matchup The Terminators still fresh off the madden jinx verses the black sheep of the league. This game turned out to be a blowout. The Terminators were click on all cylinders and got a pretty easy victory. This game will go down as one of the best in LNFFL History. The Rookie vs the Veteran. They both came out on fire and putting up major points. All the stars were playing to the best of there abilities, All the critics after the Terminators demolished Da Hit Squad just knew that the rookie didn’t stand a chance. But when it was all said and done. The Rookie was holding the title. They held off a late charge by the Terminators behind P.Manning for victory 50-46. In the end, the veteran made the rookie mistake and stared the wrong defense and that was the difference in the game. The Terminators coach said, “ I feel like I just lost the Super Bowl!” in the other game for 3rd, DHS squeak past the Ghost Ridahs. 1) REAPERS "06" CHAMPION 2) TERMINATORS 3) DA HIT SQUAD 4) GHOST RIDAHS
