2015 Chris Thomas 5 Star Pick 3 Contest – Week 01 Picks
“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”
Okay…we got a late start on Week 1 of the year…but the Virtual Piggybank is back for another season long outing…We lose Josh from the field of degenerates…but we gained Money Inc owner Tim Dobbins…leaving us with 10 players again for 2015…The Dolphins are the hot play in Week 1 with 6 Units wagered…and Hernandez named them our Lock of the Week…Thursday Night action provided 3 Pushes as missed kicks by Scobee left the outcome right on the number…but left newcomer Tim with a loss as the total did not come in…Still working on a way to semi-automate this thing this year…but until then…here we go… (more…)
2015 TBFL Draft Communications
As has become custom now...we will pile as many people as Skype will allow into a group to talk while we draft. The Commish can be added to your contact…
Rule Change Proposal for 2016
With the Franchise Players now assigned for the 2015 Draft…some owners approached me about the seeming lack of talent because of all the franchise tags. Some wanted to limit the number of franchise tags…some just want SOMETHING done. I have an idea I have been holding off on…because If it ain’t broke…but maybe it is time…
2015 Franchise Player List
The 2015 Franchise Player deadline has passed and 77 players will be returning to action with their same teams…this is the most since 2012…and 1 short of the record set in 2010 (78 for math challenged)…essentially a full 6.33 rounds of the 2015 TBFL Draft are completed before we even begin. It was quiet for a few weeks…but everyone came alive in the last couple days with a flurry of trading…resulting in a player being franchised in every possible round.
No Kickers received tags this year.
The full position breakdown:
41 Wide Receivers
25 Running Backs
8 Quarterbacks
3 Defenses
The complete listing is below…now sortable by Pick or Franchise…and searchable to narrow down by position. (more…)
Statistically Speaking – Husslenomicon
As we continue our march toward the Franchise Player deadline (Today at Noon EST) I am running through last year’s TBFL prediction posts…Husslers started a new column in 2014 (that I hope continues into the current year) where he made his weekly predictions and Smack Talk runs called…HUSSLENOMICS…
His 1st post appeared on the Message Board HERE and is preserved for posterity HERE as well…Let’s get to it…

Statistically Speaking – Podium Breakdown
As we continue our march toward the Franchise Player deadline (This Sunday at Noon EST) I am running through last year’s TBFL prediction posts…Every couple of years…Playground Legends owner Danny Miller emerges from the shadows like a forgotten spectre…then rises up to lay down a surprise rant of Smack Talk toward his fellow owners…how long these rants will last until Danny disappears silently back into the ether…no one ever knows…

Statistically Speaking – 2015 BAT-tleship
Not a good sign that I am starting the 2015 TBFL season behind by 2 weeks…especially when I only have 6 days to go till the moved up Franchise Player Deadline (Sunday August 23rd for those not paying attention)…I managed to post every week in 2014 on schedule…and to keep things rolling along…we continue the now tradition of grading the previous year predictions. Last year we had 4 teams participate and each will get a detailed breakdown…but we start as always with a new edition of BAT-tleship and the post Draft predictions of our perennial Fantasy Bowl participant Bay Area Thrashers…The original post can be found HERE…but since MyFantasyLeague will eventually stop archiving it…it is preserved for posterity HERE as well…As in our past posts…each prediction will be examined and then graded as either:
A *HIT*
or
A *MISS* (more…)
