Trader Jame Defeats The Love Bus 119.20-77.36 in Championship Game; 15^th Consecutive Week Jame Eclipses 100 Points Scored

True to Its Roots, Key Trade Acquisitions Power Trader Jame to Championship

BEACON, N.Y. – January 1, 2024 – Fantasy football history was made on Sunday night, as Trader Jame defeated The Love Bus, 119.20-77.36, to capture a record third Bobcats4Ever league championship and become the winningest franchise in league history.

“First off, I want to congratulate The Love Bus on a great battle in the Championship Game and a fantastic rivalry all year, as all three of our matchups this season were true tests,” said Trader Jame GM Trader Jame. “You hate for injuries to play a role in the outcome and we certainly feel for Marc, CMC and Alvin, and hope they’ll be back to full strength for 2024. Overall, we’re just really happy for the team, especially our long-time QB Josh Allen who captures his second title with the organization.”

Trader Jame’s 119.20 points were punctuated by another stellar performance by WR CeeDee Lamb, who totaled 33.70 points on 13 catches, 227 receiving yards and a touchdown. After Week 5, Lamb exceeded 15 points in all but one matchup and recorded 20-plus points in six of 11 weeks. Lamb was acquired on Sept. 29 along with a 2024 ninth-round pick in exchange for RB Nick Chubb and a fourth-round pick.

“Definitely one of the trades over the past decade that we’re the proudest of,” said TJGMTJ. “We had to pivot quickly with the unfortunate injury to our good pal Nick, we know what ‘Eights’ is capable of, and he showed that down the stretch.”

Five of Trader Jame’s Week 17 starters were acquired via trade, including WR Nico Collins, RB Rachaad White, TE Dalton Schultz and WR Michael Pittman.

Trader Jame also boasted the top fantasy QB (Josh Allen), top fantasy WR (CeeDee Lamb) and two of the top five fantasy RBs (Raheem Mostert and Rachaad White) in terms of points scored in 2023.

“I think we’re most proud of our 10^th round selection of Raheem Mostert,” said TJGMTJ. “Obviously we’re known for our ability to wheel and deal, but I don’t think our scouting staff gets nearly enough credit for what they contribute to our roster construction. I know our group worked hard in the offseason to identify players that we thought would get to the late rounds and could make a difference this season, and that’s exactly what Raheem did for us this year.”

Trader Jame’s Week 17 output of 119.20 marked the 15^th consecutive matchup in which the squad recorded at least 100 points. Trader Jame went 3-0 in his rivalry matchups this season and defeated The Love Bus three times en route to the league title. Trader Jame concluded is media availability with some news regarding the 2024 roster.

“We’ll have to see…obviously, we can’t keep Josh any longer but we hope he’ll come back to us in free agency. Our running backs were great for us this year, but we also think we have a potentially strong wide receiver corps with CeeDee, Nico and Michael Pittman Jr…it’s possible we could see all three of those WRs kept on the roster for 2024.”

Commissioner Rules Second Floor Shits to Compete Under ‘No Proposals Until Playoffs’ Stipulation

BOBCATS4EVER LEAGUE OFFICE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Second Floor Shits Prohibited from Proposing Rule Changes Until Franchise Qualifies for Postseason

Follows Failure of Owner Lenny Neslin’s Six-Option Scoring Change Proposal, Subsequent Complaint from Trader Jame

Ruling Influenced by Franchise’s History of Shitty Proposals and Circling the Drain in Regular Season

BEACON FALLS, Conn. – The Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League has announced that the Second Floor Shits will be prohibited from submitting proposals for rule changes or additions to the league’s Constitution until the franchise qualifies for the postseason.

The ruling comes in response to an official complaint lodged by Trader Jame on the annual Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League Preseason Owners Survey, in which Second Floor Shits owner Lenny Neslin proposed an onerous, six-option proposal to change scoring settings for kickers and defense/special teams — choices included vague references to “sharply” or “slightly” reducing scoring. All six measures failed, with seven of the league’s 12 owners voting to approve none of the proposals.

The other two proposed rule changes — one by the Eisenbrowns to make all missed field goals from 0-49 yards worth minus-one point, and another by The Love Bus to allow pre-keeper deadline trades including any player on the previous season’s rosters — both passed, 8-4 and 7-5, respectively.

Fear Boners to Rebrand to The Love Bus

September 4, 2022 The Commissioner Leave a comment

TEAM UNVEILS NEW IDENTITY, INTRODUCING THE LOVE BUS TO THE B4E CIRCUIT

REPRESENTS FIRST REBRAND IN TEAM HISTORY

MORRIS PLAINS, NEW JERSEY — Schwartz Football, Inc. founder/owner Marc Schwartz announced that the organization’s Bobcats4Ever franchise — formerly Fear Boners — has now changed its name to The Love Bus, effective immediately. This represents the first rebrand in franchise history.

“After a long stretch of regular season success but postseason impotence, we felt it was time for a needed shaft, err, shift in the club’s identity,” said Schwartz. “It’ll be hard for us to move on from the strong, well-shaped branding we have established, but the time has come for us to take in what has worked, what has not, and adjust, even if uncomfortable at first.”

The new branding already has an accepted foundation in B4E lore. The Love Bus was an affectionate nickname given to Schwartz by many of his college friends and was totally not something he made up for himself on the spot.

“We considered some of our other great nicknames that we definitely did not come up with, such as Gefilte Fresh, The Horizontal Surprise, The Bear Jew, Jewish Chocolate, and more. Ultimately, we felt that bringing The Bus back fit both our short-term and long-term marketing goals,” said Schwartz. “Who doesn’t want to hop aboard The Love Bus?!”

Fear Boners enjoyed success throughout its long run. The club ranks third all-time in average league finish (5.33), all-time winning percentage (.561) and fourth in Neslin Awards (10). Despite all this success, the club has not won a league title, not finished in the top three since 2018, has not competed in the championship round since 2014 and ranks eighth in lifetime earnings.

“Simply put, the Boners failed to rise to the occasion when it mattered most, leaving those closest to the club confused and disappointed,” recalled Schwartz. “We feel our new identity welcomes all fans and renews our common purpose of bringing home wins.”
