Championship League Roll Call

Our Championship League recently expanded from 8 to 10 teams - meet all 10 managers below:

Erin O'Brien (Crazy Flying Monkeys) - Erin is one of two females in our league, and is one confused football fan. She can't decide whether she likes the Ravens or Giants. She may be silly, but she's ours, and we root for her - when we're not rooting for another team.

Josh Conner (Screamin' Weasels) - Josh is the manager with the most children (4!) and hosted our draft last year. He had a rough go of it last year, but has high hopes for this year.

Matt Berbert (BuckNastyLlamas) - Berb is the only manager to join the league, leave the league, then come crawling back the following year. He enjoys full length documentaries, hat tricks, and surf ninjas. He'll write one of our weekly articles this season.

Jen Smithson (Lunatic Lunchables) - Jen is the second of our two ladies. She was relegated last year, a result of being distracted by her pregnancy. Now that she's birthed the little bugger, she'll be more focused and ready for the season.

Jim Hill (Novices) - Jim is the second manager who was a member of the Premier League last year. He went from the playoffs two years ago to relegation last year, thanks to Bernard Pollard and his season ending hit on Tom Brady. We'll see if his luck is any better this year.

Ryan Hossick (Off Constantly) - Ryan is one of the younger managers we have in either league. Don't be fooled by his youth, this Hokie is an experienced fantasy football player, and one to watch this season.

Cameron Butcher (girls gone wildcat) - The winner of the award for cleverest team name, this Dolphins fan will hopefully be one of our regular contributors on this blog. He snuck into the playoffs last year, and I'm sure he hopes to do the same this year.

Aaron Moore (skinsrule) - Aaron is one of the brand new managers to our league this year. A multitalented individual (and obvious skins fan), he's looking to make an impact on our league in year one.

Scott Moran (The Brunells) - Scotty is the youngest member of our leagues, a strapping junior in college at Grove City. He'll spend all season in Spain, where he may be at a disadvantage as the only football on his television will be Sevilla matches.

Ryan Bulger (What's in a name?) - Ryan is our second of the two brand new managers who took part in our expansion draft. He's played in a few leagues before, so we fully expect him to fit right in. A former semi-pro skateboarder, Ryan is one of several managers who spend last winter in New Orleans.

That about wraps it up for our Championship League Roll Call. We may or may not have more posts before the draft, but our next series will be a Draft Recap, followed by Draft Grades for both leagues. Bookmark this site to follow the action all season.
