Hello, MZNFL:

I apologize, MZNFL representatives, for my absence. (I've been kept busy by the "real" world. :D)

As a result, I believe the S49's Fan Bowl should be vacated. Sorry to all participants of the Fan Bowl, especially those enthused about its potential.

Also, I will be stepping down as president--effective immediately. It was a pleasure meeting you and speaking with you all, and I do not see why our rapports should be discontinued. (You can contact me whenever, and I'll get back to you--eventually.)

If the NFL Federation persists under the leadership of one of its outstanding VPs or Reps, then - for documentation purposes (and not to put you on the spot)- new MZNFL representative frankiejhoffa is a Lions fan.

Take care,

MWS

Don't miss out on our seasonal senior league: S2 - MZNFL - League A, which is free; S2 - Money in the Bank - U18; and S1 - Money in the Bank - U23.

You have until April 23, 2014 to accept invitations to this friendly league, before I extend invitations to non-federation members to fill these leagues.

If you need token assistance to participate in one of the Uxx leagues, leave a message in my guestbook.

Invitations for season two of League A have already been sent out. It's a first-come, first-served league; so if you want to participate, accept the invitation as soon as possible!

Oh, by the way, it's free. ;)

Also, I'm in the process of creating an U18 and an U23 friendly league given the push for both. (So, there will be ample opportunities for a federation members to earn points for their team.) Which matchdays do you prefer for the U18 and U23 leagues?

The NFL Federation welcomes its fifth champion to "The Champions Pavilion": gatto13 and his Chiascio Giants, champions of MZNFL's premier league ("S1 - MZNFL - League A"), which begs the question - "should the premier league be called 'Gatto's Premier League'?" (Though, I kinda like the sound of "Chiascio's Premier League.":D) What do you guys think?

What's important to note is that maxiromamanny's Indianapolis side made things interesting by providing the first tally in the league final against the champs. However, gatto13's side was able to (1) stave off the flurry, providing 5 goals of its own to win 5-2, and (2) stave off the overall charge by second-place finishers: dowopado and his stalwart Casino Royale side.

In terms of the team competition, again, the Dallas Cowboys conglomerate - gatto13, dowopado, and kyleriese - left no doubt as they selfishly gobbled up the available fantasy points (per se) to secure first place, for the time being, in the Fan Bowl.

I know an individual winner has yet to be decided for League A, but a collective winner is readily discernible.

Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys conglomerate—gatto13, dowopado, and kyleriese—on winning the inaugural season of the MZNFL’s premier league: “S1 - MZNFL - League A”! :)

(I’ll be doling out token rewards shortly.)
