BFF Back In Swing

I act as the commissioner of pretty much the best fantasy football league around. The Beltway Fantasy Football League (BFF) was started over 4 years ago and has progressed into one of the most involved league I've ever heard about. We make use of a team salary cap with individual player salaries, franchise tags, injured reserves, rookie drafts, etc... We have a large league trophy which gets engraved each year with the new champion's name and it becomes their personal possession for that year. Last season, we started awarding the champion with a gold league blazer (You can kind of see Mike's in the picture below). We have two separate conferences based on each owners geographic location around the Baltimore Beltway. There is the Outer Loop Conference (OLC) and the Inner Loop Conference (ILC).
We held our annual BFF Draft/Auction at our house on Wednesday evening. It was another huge success!
Across the front from left to right we have myself, Will Rode, Zac Fisher, and Mike Maiste. On the couch from left to right there is Chris Walbert, Justin Smith, Dustin Pfeifer, Jared Pfeifer, and Greg Armstrong. Mike McNeive (last year's champion) is laying across their laps.
... here is last year's league photo...
The NFL season started last night, with the Giants beating the Redskins 16-7. My fantasy team is called the Camo Pirates. We're up against Dustin's team this week, the Berrywood Bombers. As of today, we're still tied 0-0.
