Season 6 is officially just over 7 hours away.
Let us bask in our own supremacy knowing that we are a part of the greatest fantasy football league of all time.
Set those rosters and let er rip.
Good luck to each and every one of you.
You’ll notice that on the bottom left of the homepage here, there is another poll. This is to determine your 3rd commissioner for the season. If you’re unsure of what the 3rd commissioner of FFBMCO does, please check the 3rd Commissioner section of RULES at the top of the homepage.
And with that, here are the candidates’ replies to the same set of questions:
CANDIDATE ONE
1. What is FFBMCO’S biggest strength?
The number of owners that have stayed in the league over the years.
2. What is FFBMCO’S biggest weakness?
Too many keepers and relying on Yahoo.
3. Thoughts/ideas on how to address that issue?
Go down to 3 keepers. It will let owners keep the core of their teams while shaking it up more from year to year.
4. If you could change something about FFBMCO what would it be?
An in-person draft would be fun but I know it’s impossible. Or an end of season party.
5. How do you feel about the monthly prizes that have been awarded in the past? Is there a prize that hasn’t been given that should be?
I like it! Gives everyone a chance to win something.
6. Any ideas to tweak/update/change the user experience on the FFBMCO website and or Facebook group?
More side bets!
7. Will you bring any fresh/new ideas to the commissioning unit to benefit the league? If so , what?
Probably not.
8. What should happen if someone performs the unthinkable and earns a perfect season?
They get kicked out of the league and have to quit fantasy football.
9. Describe your favorite TV program as if the person reading has never heard of it/has no idea what it is.
A comedian with a Jew fro lives in New York and has the derpiest friends and comes across the most random characters of all time. It truly is a show about nothing.
10. Any closing remarks?
I will balance out Brian and Shaun’s Trump-like rule.

CANDIDATE TWO
1. What is FFBMCO’S biggest strength?
Matt L and Mike L and Marc K and Mike D and Red Right 88 and everyone else who isn’t Commish—I will be your champion!
2. What is FFBMCO’S biggest weakness?
The draft…20 team 5 person keeper league makes the draft a bit tough. Between lack of talent depth available and a lot of research into rookies and sleepers, it is tough for a lot of teams who now have families and such.
3. Thoughts/ideas on how to address that issue?
I don’t have the solution but I want to listen to the people this year and have some resolution to vote on by the end of this year in order for it to be in effect next year.
4. If you could change something about FFBMCO what would it be?
Add IDPs. We are a high scoring league with bonuses…why not have some fun with an IDP as well…at the least it could add one more round of caring to the draft.
5. How do you feel about the monthly prizes that have been awarded in the past? Is there a prize that hasn’t been given that should be?
Amazon digital gift cards can cover just about anything, or the beer option if you opt out of amazon card
6. Any ideas to tweak/update/change the user experience on the FFBMCO website and or Facebook group?
Look into a mobile solution for entire league trash talking during the games. This was very successful using Slack in a different league I had a few years ago. I believe the low utilization of the website is due to mobile difficulties.
7. Will you bring any fresh/new ideas to the commissioning unit to benefit the league? If so , what?
You made me answer this in questions 3, 4, and 6… This is why we need me as a strong, intelligent 3rd commish to keep these things from happening sheesh.
8. What should happen if someone performs the unthinkable and earns a perfect season?
Free entry the following year and everyone else pays an extra $3 to cover the difference in appreciation of the awe inspiring year.
9. Describe your favorite TV program as if the person reading has never heard of it/has no idea what it is.
It’s about a stud with the greatest name in history, Charles. Charles Bartowski or Chuck for short. He has a super computer for a brain and a smoke show of a girlfriend and can karate your face off. He can also hack while chugging white wine. Oh and he saves the world, just like I will save this league!
10. Any closing remarks?
My Fellow FFBMCOiains,
I come to you to ask a simple ask. Please vote for me. I will simultaneously improve this league, while also laying my life on the line to control the tyranny from our hailed Commish. Also, Shaun and I will probably lead a Mutiny against Brian, so that could be fun.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Please note that this poll is open from now until 12:30 this Sunday 9/9.
Respectfully asking all owners to vote per the above information.
Since the season starts tonight, FFBMCO has done something unprecedented and consulted both candidates on what the September side game should be. After a healthy SMS group chat, the September Contest is – HIGHEST SCORING DRAFTED PLAYER during weeks 1-4 (including the 10/1 MNF game).
-This means the player was not a keeper.
-This means the player was not a FA/waiver pick up.
-Points scored while not starting on an FFBMCO roster will not be counted, that is, only the points accumulated to an FFBMCO roster will be counted in the 4 week sum.
In keeping with the theme of draft success, the prize for this will be the NFL franchise hat chosen by the FFBMCO winner (since draft picks always throw them on as they hit the pdoium). This can be the official New Era 2018 draft hat, the khaki Brownie dad hat that John Dorsey rocks 24/7, and anything/everything in between. Just provide a link or pic of what you want with your head size and it shall be done.
Finally, since this league is more than just a fantasy league and is more of a soul enriching brotherhood, we celebrate life milestones. That said, your courageous and innovative league co-creator and commissioner Brian LL’s 2nd heir to the throne officially entered the solar system on 8/23/18.
If anyone is in a minister-like position of any faith, GO AHEAD AND BLESS’M THEN!
