FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

League prepares for third season, which promises to be best yet

Changes to names, rules highlight offseason

Preseason caucus set for August

BEACON FALLS, Conn. — As the nation slowly begins to shift its focus back toward football, so too does the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League. In about one month, the league’s 12 franchises will prepare to draft for a third season.

To help the league’s owners and legion of fans get back into gear and set the scene for the upcoming season, Commissioner Kyle Brennan has a series of announcements pertaining to the start of league business.

“I’m thoroughly excited for the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League’s third season,” Brennan said. “We have a powerful and clear Constitution in place after our productive owners meeting in January, a fascinating draft lineup and a terrific defending champion — all of which look to make this fall our best season to date.”

While the league is still coming into shape for this fall, Brennan advises owners and fans to disregard any divisional or schedule alignments automated by Yahoo!’s engine. The league office will straighten out all such issues once all owners have re-registered their teams.

Among the announcements are new team names, reminders of rule changes passed in January, proposals for the preseason caucus and a look-ahead toward the season’s structure.

Unprecedented league activity paces typically dormant off-season period

NEW YORK — One thing I’ve learned since covering the Bobcats4Ever Fantasy Football League is to expect the unexpected. Commissioner Kyle Brennan has encouraged his owners to think about their teams all year long.

And boy did they ever.

I was out of the country on a personal journey during the month of February. It was a very rewarding life experience and I’m thankful my new employer allowed me to pursue it. But opening up my email upon my return and seeing league release after release was rewarding in its own right. The league is full of 12 passionate owners and to cover this league takes a special kind of reporter. Let’s jump right into some of the news and notes we missed last month.

McGibblets GM Releases Statement on Draft Penalty

MR. McGIBBLETS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

‘I did not violate any bylaws or rules at the time’ — Mr. McGibblets Owner Matt Eisenberg

SNOOZEBURY, Mass. — Mr. McGibblets GM Matt Eisenberg will appeal his sanction of a “Tebow-esque” selection of his sixth-overall pick in the 2015 draft for his role in the November trade(s) involving Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. Eisenberg’s penalty for his role on the November 3rd trades is being forced to choose Tim Tebow or a backup kicker as his sixth overall pick, as voted on by other league GMs.

For several reasons, Eisenberg deems his penalty unwarranted, but thinks the steps the GMs took in their league meeting took in preventing measures like this from occurring again are a positive for the league.

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY NEWS

Decision rendered at last night’s owners meeting

HAMDEN, Conn. — In a “fascinating” turn of events, Mr. McGibblets Owner and GM Matt Eisenberg was assessed a draft penalty during last night’s owners meeting by unanimous vote.

Stemming from his controversial practice of colluding with two owners during his November firesale, Bobcats4Ever owners voted to strip Eisenberg of his sixth-overall draft pick in this summer’s draft.

“I figured some of the ownership wanted to give Eisenberg a hard time and make him a little nervous during the penalty phase, but I didn’t actually think they’d vote to penalize him for tampering,” Bobcats4Ever Commissioner Kyle Brennan said.
