Congratulations are in order to my old buddy Lane Widick, the winner of this year’s League of Extraordinary Gentleperson’s Fantasy Football League. Lane’s squad, the adroitly named Wide Load, steamrolled through the regular season with an 11-3 mark before lapping the hapless Jive Turkey in the championship game, 137 – 60. Buoyed by strong QB play (Peyton Manning), an upstart rookie running back (Chris Johnson), and a stalwart defense (Titans), Wide Load plowed through our league like Jerome Bettis decimating the Oakland Raiders defensive line. Which is to say, we never had a chance. Congrats, Lane. Is this two years in a row for you? One more victory and we’ll have to banish you so the rest of us can have a chance.
As for yours truly, a 4th place finish is all I can brag about. That and a narrow victory over my wife, who turned in a 4-10 mark in her inaugural fantasy football season. With a strong consolation bracket run, she finished in 7th place, which isn’t too shabby. But fantasy baseball is more her thing anyway. It runs in the family.
already & not yet 
Thanks for the props. It is indeed two years in a row, but last year I rode the coattails of one Tom Brady. This year, Peyton didn’t really give me much hope until the very last game when he had the game of the season.I’ll try to do worse next year.
One more championship and you’re banished. Just kidding! Sort of.
