The Professional Football Federation and it's rich history was established in 1997 in the Tulsa OK area. It began as a scoring league; TD's, Fieldgoals, and Extra Points only. In 1999 the League became a peformance league. In 1998 the league moved from the Tulsa area to the Wichita KS area. In 2001 the league was restructured and moved into the Paramount Bowl Era, and it was set in stone as an improved league that would build the foundation for the greatest Fantasy Football League to ever be built. Things went so well that in 2003 we voted to expand to a 16 team league.

If you take home the Paramount Bowl Championship Ring in this league, you have taken with you the equivalent of a NFL Super Bowl Ring. In this league, Fantasy Football is not something in your life, it is a part of your life. In this league it's all about being on top. Second place here is the first looser. The Professional Football Federation is the League that sets the standards for all other leagues. The Professional Football Federation: The Ultimate Fantasy Football Experience.

1997- While looking at a magazine rack at Albertson’s Grocery Store, 51rst and Memorial, in Tulsa Oklahoma, Tony Dodson stumbled upon a magazine called Fantasy Football Firsts. Due to Tony’s huge interest in football and the NFL, he picked it up, looked at it for a couple of minutes, and then bought it. Once he got it home, he read the entire magazine and loved the concept of this game called Fantasy Football. Since the NFL season was less than 2 weeks away, he had to act quick. At the time Tony was managing a Rib Crib Restaurant and hit up everyone there. Tony decided to start simple to help learn the game and it’s concepts, so the league would have 8 teams its first season. Within 2 days, Tony had himself, the CEO of the company, the Director of Catering, another General Manager, 2 head cooks, a line cook, and a waiter. The first Draft was held at the 81rst and Yale Rib Crib in the Bar area where all the beer was free and all the food was half price. We were a league. Our name would be The Fantasy Football League and would stay that way until the 2004 season. Terrell Davis- RB- DEN was the first pick ever. We were a scoring league only. TD’s, Field Goals, Extra Points, and 2 Point Conversions. Entry fees were $5.00 a week for a total of $75.00 by season's end and the first season recap was written at season's end. The waiter in the league, Aaron Moody, and his team the Allstars, defeated Donnie Blackwell’s Stars in the first League Championship Game.

1998- Two weeks before this season would start, Tony Dodson and his family moved to Augusta Kansas. Since no one wanted to take over the League in Tulsa, Tony brought the league with him. That would leave very little time for Tony to work the magic that he worked just one year previously. So, Tony called his cousin Jon Pennycuff who also lived in Augusta and he and his 2 brothers agreed to play. Aldans, Kamakaze, Roadhogs, and Hot Flashes were in. But that was only half of what we needed. Then Tony remembered that Jack Kipp, who had played the previous season in Tulsa had moved to Hutchinson Kansas a few months before. Tony contacted him and he was ecstatic to still have an opportunity to be part of the building of this great league. Jack brought in his 2 brothers and his best friend who also lived in Hutchinson. Now we had Slayer, Legion Of Doom, Hardcore and Slick. We were once again a league. The league was split into the 2 Divisions, The North Division (Hutchinson) and the South Division (Augusta). The South Division agreed that they would travel to Jack's house in Hutchinson for the Draft, but they would have to travel to Augusta for the End Of The Season Party. In the middle of this season, Commissioner Tony Dodson, was wiped completely out in the Augusta Flood and lost everything including all the stats from 1997 and all of 1998 to that point. But, in the end, Tony Dodson’s Aldans would defeat Angela Pennycuff, who took over Legion Of Doom in Mid-season, in the second League Championship Game. The rules and the fees were the same this season as the season before.

1999- A big change happened in 1999 when we lost the Hutchinson owners. So in stepped Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage, Clarence Martinez’s Over-The-Hill, Chris Burgardt’s Touchdown CJB’s, and Mark Olenberg’s Blitz. And once again, we were a League. The league fees were dropped to $50.00 this season and not many up’s or down’s happened. The Draft was held in Augusta at Jon and Angela Pennycuff’s home. In the end of this season, Chris Burgardt’s Touchdown CJB’s would defeat Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage in the third League Championship.

2000- Big changes came again in 2000. The first being that we had our first ever expansion. We became a league of 12 teams. So in stepped the expansion teams. They were Brock Adkinson’s Dream Team, Chad Harding’s Hurricanes, Clovia Burgardt’s Clover, and Casey Dodson’s X-treme. Second, we became a scoring and performance league by adding points for yardage. The original 8 teams kept their mandatory 2 keepers in which Over-The-Hill kept Kicker Martin Gramatica. The Draft was right outside of Augusta at Chris and Clovia Burgardt’s Home. This would prove to be a very fun and exciting season. It brought with it our first league website that was run through Web TV. But just when things seemed to be going great, the castle fell. Due to a very unethical trade the week the playoffs started, which was technically legal because it was not specifically in the rules, and there was no Commissioning Committee at the time, the league started to take sides and the people started to split. The first End of the season packets came out this season and in the end Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage would defeat Clovia Burgardt’s Clover in the forth League Championship Game.

2001- After the big problems that we ended with in the 2000 season, Commissioner Tony Dodson vowed not to start a new, but to bandage the league, revise and restructure it, and finally make it the best Fantasy Football League ever to be assembled. First, he only took back the best owners and the most ethical owners from the previous year. They were Brock Adkinson, Casey Dodson, Kaylynn Dodson, Chad Harding and Tony Dodson himself.  The majority of the owners that were left behind started a branch off league that was very generic in nature and finally folded after the 2002 season. Now that we had our base of owners, it was time to find great people who would help bring us to glory. So in came David Smith’s Barracudas, Mike Barkley’s Aeros, Scott Mariani’s Diablo's, Terry Townsley’s Blitz, Tanner Rowland’s Rush, James Clendenin’s Highlanders and returning owner from 1997 Donnie Blackwell’s Stars. This restructuring would bring with it a very thorough rule book, an optional 2 keeper rule, a $75.00 entry fee, Rocky’s Picks, among many other things. But the most important thing it would bring was 12 of the best owners in the Fantasy Football World. Because of the restructuring, all the players would be thrown back into the Draft and a fresh record book would be started. The Draft was held in Wichita Kansas at James Clendenin’s home, and the first ever Draft After Party took place at Raytheon Lake immediately after the Draft was over. These 12 owners were now in place to set the foundation for the greatest Fantasy Football League on the planet and they would become the “New” original 12 owners. In the end, Terry Townsley’s Blitz would defeat Brock Adkinson’s Dream Team in Paramount Bowl I.  Yes, the Paramount Bowl Era has began.

2002- The biggest change in league history would happen this season when the league would be introduced to Fantasy Football Software. For the first time ever there would be no pouring over the stats in the Newspaper to configure scores and no more of those tedious Weekly Packets. Halfway through the 2001 season, Brain Beedle replaced Donnie Blackwell, and in 2002 we had every single owner back. The plan was working. We were becoming one of the greatest leagues on the circuit. Because things had ran so smoothly in the 2001 season, other than offseason trading, no major changes were made for 2002. We did have many minor changes that would help the league become better and stronger. We were introduced to the FFL Times league newsletter, the fees went to $100.00, and we got our first ever Draft Board. The Draft was held in Andover Kansas at the Pizza Hut in their Basement room where the air-conditioning was broken. The small fan they brought down to us helped, but was far from solving the hot problem. In the end Tony Dodson’s Midwest Thunderstorms would defeat David Smith’s Pearl Harbor Barracudas in the Paramount Bowl II.

2003- More big changes would happen this year. First, we would expand the league again, this time to 16 teams. The expansion teams were Scott Staib’s Texas Twisters, Kim Staib’s Great Plains Fury, Kelly Rowland’s Sacramento Sirens, and previous owner from 1999 and 2000, Chris Burgardt’s Mid-Kansas Shox. We also lost 3 owners from the previous season and to fill their spots we brought in Terry McGrath’s Bora Bora Bengals, Josh Brown’s Wichita Witness, and previous owner from 2000, Clovia Burgardt’s K.S. Clover. We added Decimal Scoring this season, our first Rookie Draft, we went from helmets to Logo’s to represent our teams, and we had our first Owners Meeting during the off season. Many changes came this season, all of which once again made the league better and stronger. We started a New Public Website and joined the International Rankings. The Barracudas would set the record for the best record in league history with a 15-1 and the Bengals would set the record for the worst record in history with a 2-11. The Twisters would possibly pull off the biggest mistake in league history when he had no QB playing in his Conference Championship Game. The Draft was once again at Pizza Hut in Andover. In the end David Smith’s Pearl Harbor Barracudas would return to the Championship game for the second season in a row, this time to win and defeat Tanner Rowland’s Chicago Rush in Paramount Bowl III. Our first Championship Ring was introduced this season but looked like a huge gold bolt sitting on your finger.  But it was what it was.  On to 2004!

2004- Once again, more big changes happened in the 2004 season. We would change our name from The Fantasy Football League to the Professional Football Federation. We would lose three owners and would replace them with one of the best rookie classes ever. They would be Matt Carney’s Great Plains Fury, Tim Bishop’s College Hill Miners and Ron Meskie’s South Central Bandits. One of the major changes this season would be adding one point per reception for WR’s and TE’s. About a week after the Owners Meeting, the league would find itself in a uproar about the one point per reception rule. Some in the League felt that there needed to be a vote to re-vote whether RB’s should get the point also. In the end the Commissioning Committee voted not to re-vote. We also added this season for DF/ST to get one point for every 25 yards in return yards on Punt returns and kick returns. The Draft this season would be held at Double D’s Restaurant in Augusta KS in their Banquet room. The Draft was a great one. Then came the season. Dream Team finished with the best record in the league and the second best of all time with an 11-2 while the Clover set a new record for the worst season ever with a 1-12. Clover won week one and never won again. With the high scores this season many records were broke. One of the most impressive records was set by the Chicago Rush. The Rush made it all the way through the season and the post season scoring over 100 points every single week. This was a very impressive feat. Rush became the third team in league history to make back to back League Championship Games and in the end would finish this season as League Champion and the winner of Paramount Bowl IV. He would defeat the Twisters in this one, and finally have the glory of being the best team in the Professional Football Federation. We would also upgrade the Championship Ring this season to a much nicer ring that looked like what is represented...a Championship Ring!  Something now to play for other than money, a finger full of bling!

2005- Just as all the previous years before, the 2005 season came with its ups and downs and it’s highlights and lowlights. We had our draft at Mascio’s in Augusta KS. It was warm, but they had a nice room for us and good food. A couple of owners came with a little Buzz, and were not too happy with the Commish Tony when he sent out a letter after the Draft showing his disappointment in the way the Draft turned out due to this "Buzzing" problem. This year we would welcome in 4 new owners. They were Jason Mayer and his South Central Screamin’ Eagles, Ronnie Blackwell and his Mile High Broncos, Josh Brown and his St. Louis Savages, and Nick Brown and his East Leon Mercenaries. All 4 owners would prove to be strong contenders in the season. This season, we lowered the Weekly Winner to $20.00 which gave more money to the Playoff Teams. For the First time in League History the Paramount Bowl paid out $500.00. One of the other big changes this season was we added consolation games for teams that lost out of the Playoffs and Toilet Bowl Tournament. Doing so, every team played all 16 weeks. It was a lot of fun. We also added fines for the first time ever for owners that play players on Bye Weeks or that are hurt. One of the good stories from this season, was the Bora Bora Bengals. After winning only 7 games total in the past 2 seasons, the team started out 0-4, then 1-5. All this before going on a 9 game winning streak to make it all the way to Paramount Bowl V. In that Paramount Bowl, the Great Plains Fury, with their owner, Matt Carney, won it all in just their second season with the PFF and became League Champion. Rage, who had the longest playoff appearance streak going with 6 years, missed them for the first time ever. The current longest streak was now held by the Rush who have made it 5 times in a row. The Outlaws miss the Playoffs again, now for the 6^th consecutive season. One of the biggest losses for the league came with the announcement from 2003 League Champion and owner of his Pearl Harbor Barracudas, Davis Smith, that he would retire after this season. For the next 9 months the Great Plains Fury will be able to enjoy his Championship before he has to start defending it from the 15 other owners that live and die to someday be Champions of the PFF!

2006- Another season in the books. This one was special for Commissioner Tony. The 2006 season brought with it the 10 year anniversary since he started this league. Ten years! Amazing! He would have many memories throughout the season of those days long ago. The most amazing part of it may be that the 10^th year brought with it the best year ever. We went into the last week of the regular season with 14 teams still with playoff hopes. We had the Draft at B.G’s Bolton's in Wichita KS where the room was a little small, but the staff there was the greatest. Beer Towers!!! The Draft Party was at Tim Bishop’s house this year where it started raining cats and dogs while Tony and Ronnie swam in his pool with his dog Max. This year we would bring in 3 new owners and 1 old owner. The new were, Mike Warner and his Westside Wolverines, Joey Martinez and Rick Steel who would run the Old Town Ballerz together, and Casey House and his Rocky Mountain Silver Bullets. The old owner was not old in age, but old as in coming back after a year off. James Clendenin bought the Pearl Harbor Barracudas after their owner retired and James changed the team's name to the Kansas kings. Once again, 16 strong. Only one big rule change would happen this year at the Owners Meeting when we made it where you can keep your Rookie Pick for one extra season if you choose. You must use it as your rookie pick the following season and you can only keep that player one time before letting him go or making him one of your Franchise Players (Keepers). Other than that, not much changed. What did feel like a change though was the parity. In 10 seasons, this league has never seen anything like it. The Outlaws make the Playoffs for the first time in their 7-year history, but they did lose in the first round. The Dream Team made it back to the big game after a 5 year wait only to lose the big game for the second time in 5 years. The Rush start out 1-4 and then 3-6, only to win out. Yes, 7 in a row to win Paramount Bowl VI. The Rage, after making the playoffs for 6 straight seasons, now miss 2 in a row. The Rush are now leading the league with 2 Paramount Bowl wins, 3 Paramount Bowl appearances, and a 6-season playoff appearance run. The End Of the season Party / Awards Ceremony was held at Mike Warner’s Home. We cannot forget that the Fury did not win “Back-2-Back,” but did finish with the best record in the regular season with an 11-2. Now for the offseason. Eight months of waiting and waiting and waiting…

2007- Another year older and another just begun.  Wow!  Can you believe it?  We came into the 2007 season with high hopes, and it finished with a huge bang.  For the first time ever, we would bring 16 owners into the season that all played the season before.  What a wonderful testament to our league.  Not only did the same 16 come back, but we didn't add any new rules.  After making the Playoffs last season for the first time ever, the Outlaws back it up with another Playoff off appearance.  The Dream Team and the Ballerz win their Divisions in the Red Conference, but both lose in the first round.  In the black Conference, the Miners and the Wolverines win their Divisions and they both win in the first round.  The biggest story of this season was James Clendenin.  After dropping out of the league after the 2004 season, he buys the Barracudas in 2006, changes the name to the Kansas Kings, goes 6-7 in 2006 and this season finishes one better with a 7-6 record.  Oh, and by the way, they snuck into the Playoffs, won the Conference Championship Game against the Outlaws and represented the Red Conference in Paramount Bowl VII.  In that great game the Kings smoked the Miners 138.4 to 77.7.  The Kings did what they set out to do, win a Championship.  The Draft was at BG Bolton's for the second year in a row and after, we once again moved the party to Tim Bishop's Home for the Draft Party.  And yes, Tony ended up pant less and swimming with Max.  Man, Tony loves him some Max.  The end of the season Party was not so good.  Thanks to Bolton's throwing a new $600.00 charge on us the day of the Meeting, we moved the Meeting to Old Chicago where we had no room and lots of noise.  We made it through and moved on to our second "End of Season Party After Party" at Scotch and Soda.  We had a blast and let's say...so did Dancin' Mike.  Great season, great times, great people.  Hope for another 11 years with all of you.

2008- I cannot believe that it is over. The twelfth season for this league and the second season in a row where we bring all 16 owners back. If we are not the greatest yet, then we are being compared with only a League that God himself started and plays in. This year we finally passed the rule that you get more points for longer FG’s. We also voted that in 2009 we will raise the league fees to $125.00. There were a few other changes, but nothing major. After making the Playoffs 2 seasons ago for the first time in their Franchise’s History, and then following it up last season with another Playoff berth, the Outlaws got back to staying home in the postseason and posted the worst record in the Red Conference and tied for worst in the league. That worst record also went to the College Hill Miners. The Kings of course won it all in 2007 and this season owner James Clendenin decided to come back just to show he was for real, and that last season wasn't a fluke. Boy did he. James’s Kings finished with a league's best 10-3 and James has declared that he is here to stay. Rush kept his Playoff streak alive with 8 straight seasons but lost in the first round to the to the Fury. The Thunderstorms, Rage, and Ballerz all got in the playoffs and lost in round 1. Twisters beat the Kings and the Fury beat the Wolverines to both become Conference Champions. In the end the Fury beat the Twisters in Paramount Bowl VIII. It was Twisters second time to make it to the big game and lose, while the Fury have made it twice and have walked away both times with a Championship. The Draft was held at Emerson Biggin’s in Wichita, and it was a nice place. After the Draft we made our way to the Draft Party which was once again at Tim Bishop’s home.  Swimming with Max?  Of course!  Have we said..."Man Tony loves him some Max." The End Of Season party was held at Terry McGrath’s home. The 2009 season will bring with it the start of possibly another 12 seasons. I hope they are even half as good as the first 12.

2009- Finally, it happened!  Two things that we thought never may.  One, we passed the rule that RB's would get a half point per reception.  A long time in the running for this rule.  It has a history of its own I assure you.  Second, we traveled for the Draft.  The Draft this season was held at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, OK.  It was a Great Draft Weekend.  Some of the Kansans made it down on Friday Night to start the party early.  Tim entertained us with his huge fruity drinks, while we partied into the night.  The next morning Golf for some, disc golf for others, and for some, they just arrived and kicked back.  The Draft was held in a Suite at one of the Casino Hotels. Draft Party came after at the Casino and what a night it was.  We drank, ate, danced, and sang until the early morning hours. We lost Chad's Outlaws this year and in stepped Collin and his Moon Shadows.  It was a great season capped off with the Screamin' Eagles and Silver Bullets making the Playoffs for their first time and the Silver Bullets and Broncos playing in Paramount Bowl IX and it was the closest Paramount Bowl Game in League History.  The Silver Bullets won by only 1.2 points. The biggest memory of all, may be the Club Division.  The Rush finished as Division Champion with a 7-6 record while their division mates finished 5-8, 4-9, and 4-9.  After years of dominance, the Club Division was at the bottom of the League.  The Rush made the Playoffs for their 9th consecutive season and not only holds the longest streak, but the team has never missed the Playoffs in their existence.  It was a great season with the finale coming at the End Of The Season Party at Terry McGrath's home for the second straight year in a row.  The After Party was a hoot with Karaoke and lots a drinking.  The Champion, Casey House, bought the entire league a shot with his winnings.  He may be saying, money means nothing, I will have a lot more coming in the future.  The 2010 season will be the Leagues 14th while it will be the 10th since our restructuring in 2001.  A decade plus....We all hope for another decade as great as this one! 

2010- The 2010 season was one of many surprises and many disappointments for some. A season after the Broncos, Screamin’ Eagles, and Silver Bullets owners all make the Playoffs for the first time ever, only one of them would make it back this season and that one be it the Silver Bullets who would not only make it back, but would win it all and become our first Back-to-Back Champion in League History. Silver Bullets Owner, Casey House, joined the League in 2006 and was no threat to anyone in his first 3 years. Then in 2009, Casey took his Silver Bullets to a Division win, a Conference win, and then a League Championship. Some called it a Fluke. So, in 2010, Casey repeated the whole thing and beat the Fury in Paramount Bowl X. Hush to the critics!  The season all started in April at the Owners Meeting at Emerson Biggin’s where we announced that Collin and James would be leaving us and in would step, for the 3rd time, Donnie Blackwell and his Dallas Stars and Hunter Rowland who would keep the name Kansas Kings for his team. The interesting part is that Donnie is brother to current owner Ronnie, and Hunter, brother to current owner Tanner. No big rules would come out of the meeting. Then in August we drafted at the old Lola’s Bar Location in Wichita thanks to Tim and his company. From there we moved to Tim’s house where he and his family would once again throw a stellar After Party. We partied into the night with Owners and friends of the league. Then it was time to get it on with kick off just right around the corner. The season started like any other but ended very very different. For the first time in League History, the Chicago Rush would miss the playoffs after finishing with a 5-8 record. The Blitz would make it back after missing for the past 6 seasons. Both Rookies, Donnie and Hunter would miss the Playoffs while Fury, after missing last season, would make it in this season and play in Paramount Bowl X. The End Of The Season Party was at Back-2-Back Champions, Casey House’s House. What the future hold for the League? Will Casey and his Silver Bullets ever lose again? Will there even be football in 2011? Time will tell! We are a League that never stops, and no matter what happens in our future, the past will live on forever!

2011- Will there even be football this season?  That was the question all summer long that we had to ask while the NFL was in a lockout.  But yes they would play and they would even start on time.  And we were ready.  During the lockout, PFF business went on as usual.  The Owners Meeting in April was once again at Emmerson Biggins in Wichita.  No major votes would come out of this Meeting.  The Bora Bora Bengals would change their name this season to the Bora Bora Beagles when Owner Terry's wifewas battling Breast Cancer and she loved the name of the new Beagle they had bought, and Terry wanted to honor her with the name change.  Fast forward to Draft Day.  Scott helped plan this day as the League moved south to the First Council Casino in Newkirk OK.  Most of the League would meet in Ponca City for a Pre-Draft Dinner at Napolis Italian Restaurant.  Huge Portions! At that Dinner, Ballerz owner, Rick Steel, would reveal that he was going to blow everyone's mind with the first pick.  An hour later he did just that when he picked WR- Ochocinco- NE first overall. The rest of the Draft went fine and lasted about 3 hours.  The Casino put us in a very nice room where we all had everything we wanted to drink and eat.  The After Party was inside the Casino where we all gambled and drank the night away before going to our rooms at the Casino Hotel.  Then there was the season.  Three Rookies came into the League this season.  Two were in the Spade Division and one of those would win the Division, Chris Hayes and his 3rd Rock Blackshirts, while the other, Jordan Stucky and Kyle Jensen and their Whitewater Warriors would barley miss the post season.  The third Rookie who owned the New York Empire, would lose his first game, win the next two games and lose the last 10 in a row to finish with a 2-11 record.  Who was that Rookie?  None other than Jordan Dodson, the son of Tony and Kaylynn. So how would they do?  Well, Kaylynn's Rage won their Division while Tony's Thunderstorms would sneak in the Playoffs with a Wildcard.  Three weeks later these two teams would meet in Paramount XI.  Yes, the first time a Husband and a Wife would ever meet in the biggest of games.  The Thunderstorms would win the game and be crowned as the League Champion.  The Thunderstorms did it with Rookie Pick QB- C. Newton- CAR due to P. Manning never seeing the field one time in 2011 due to neck issues. Second year for Kings owner, Hunter, would win his division and make the Playoffs.  Rush, after making the Playoffs for their first nine seasons would miss for their second straight post season.  The Blitz, after missing six straight post seasons, made it for their second straight time, only to lose in the Playoffs to the Thunderstorms for the second time in as many years. The Twisters and the Dream Team would once again fall short of the Playoffs, and the Wolverines for their first time in 5 seasons, would come up short too, finishing dead last in the Spade Division.  Bengals and the Miners would come up short also this season, but the Bengals made the best of it by winning the Toilet Bowl Tournament and getting the first pick in the 2012 League Draft.  The Ballerz would make the Playoffs for the first time since Rick's co-owner Joey Martinez left 3 years ago and the Fury would win their Division for the first time in 5 years.  No, the Silver Bullets would not win it for the third straight season, but they did make the Playoffs for their third straight season.  End Of Season Party was at Mike Warner's Home where the food was great, and the stuffed peppers were maybe the biggest hit in League History. Another year older and sweet 16 ahead for us.  What lies ahead?  I'm sure something big!

2012- Last season we were worried that we may not even play football due to the NFL Players lock out. This season they played, but with replacement Refs. That happened for four weeks and due to all the bad calls and ridiculous things that were happening, you never know how it truly affected the League and our points. Nonetheless, once again, we brought back all 16, well, 17 owners. For the first time since we have had Owners Meetings, this one was cancelled due to a couple reasons. One being the Commish had moved 10 hours away just weeks before. The good news is the money deadline was pushed out a few weeks and every single person paid on time. Maybe the first time ever. New rules this season made it where you can now make 3 adds and drops a week. Also, you can add and drop past Friday and up to game time for your players. When the Rookie Draft came around, owners changed their ways of drafting QB's after watching Cam Newton in his Rookie year win a Championship with the Thunderstorms the previous season. So, Andrew Luck and RG III were big on the radar. The Dream Team picked up 2 RB studs in the Rookie Draft, Trent Richardson and Doug Martin. The offseason was long and we were ready to get the season going. The Draft this season was at Emerson Biggin's and due to their double booking, we had the Draft out in public in the dining area. It was OK but not preferred for the future. First pick after Keeper T. Brady was the Empire who selected RB- Chris Johnson- TEN. After Draft Party was once again held at Tim Bishops Home where there would be great food, but no swimming, not 100% attendance, and after the grading of the rosters, it was over. This would be a changing point for the League's future going forward. The season was played and for the 2nd time in a row the Wolverines came in dead last in the Spade Division while all the rest of the Spade Division would make the Playoffs. That meant Division winner Blitz would be the only team from the once great Clubs to make it. In the Red, the Diamond Division would send everyone to the Playoffs except the Empire who set the record for the Longest Losing Streak in League History from season to season. The Heart Division winner, Ballerz, would be the only ones to make it from that Division. In the end, the Texas Twisters would play the 3rd Rock Blackshirts in the big game and the Texas Twisters would finish the 2012 season as the Paramount Bowl XII Champions. Yes, Scott Staib after 10 years won himself a Championship. End of Season Party was at West Acres Bowling Center in Wichita where we Karaoke'd, ate Pizza's, and Bowled the night away. It was one of the best parties we have had in a long time. So, 16 in the hole and 17 coming up. What will it bring? I'm sure we will find out!

2013- It all started in February with Commish T sending out a letter to the League questioning their passion.  Then came the Guarantee in 1-3.  It was a renewal of fire and passion for the League and most took it to heart and it showed throughout the season. At the Owners Meeting in April, there weren't many rule changes. We did vote to move the Owners Meetings from first Saturday in April to the third Saturday in April, but something big did come out of that meeting; it was voted that the Draft be in Colorado Springs CO. Longtime owner Tim Bishop and Commish Son, Jordan Dodson, would step down and ride off into the sunset, while new owners Curtis Eply and his Chadsworth Orange Crush and Brandon Wade and his Sin City Shinobi would step in and fill their spots. So, August would come around and the entire League made their way to Colorado. We would stay in the beautiful Academy Hotel with nighttime lighting and trees in the lobby, swimming pool and a free full buffet to start each morning out. Most of the League made it out to Seven Falls on Draft Day Eve for a beautiful nighttime display of God's wonder. The next morning Commish Tony would lead the convoy up into the mountains for some great scenery and fun. That trip finished off at Helen Hunt Falls. Now back to the Hotel to get ready for Pre-Draft Dinner at Amanda's Fonda, where the League covered everyone's tip, and then to the Draft Room. New owner, Curtis and his Orange Crush had the first pick, and he would use it on RB- C. Spiller- BUF. The Draft was great! The After Party was held in the Hotel Lobby where we ate and drank and talked a lot of trash. The next morning everyone ate the Buffet and headed home. The season was very interesting. The Thunderstorms would put up the best regular season in League History, not in the Standings, but in breaking the record for most points and TD's in a season. The Blackshirts would score the second most points in League History but would miss the Playoffs. In fact, they were the only team in the Spade Division to miss. In the Club Division, Tanner and his Rush made it back to the Playoffs for the first time in 4 seasons by winning the Division. For the second straight season, the Kings and the Beagles miss the Postseason while the Ballerz put up a huge season and make it for the 3rd season in a row. In the Diamond Division, Rage misses the Playoffs for the first time in 6 seasons while last year's Champ, Twisters, miss also. Rookie, Brandon Wade and is Shinobi make it in and the Dream Team won the Diamond Division. In the end the Dream Team would play the Wolverines in the Paramount Bowl and it would finish as the closest one in League history with the Wolverines winning by just 0.55 points. What a great game by two of the League's best! The Black Conference won the Pro Bowl for the first time in 10 years and the Blackshirts were Toilet Bowl Champs. The End of Season party for the first time in this Leagues 17-year history was canceled due to the great news of the League Home Offices moving back to Wichita KS where it belongs, just a couple of weeks later. 17 seasons in the books folks and we aren't even slowing down. Just think, next season the League will be old enough to buy a Lottery Ticket and a pack of smokes. Don't miss it!

2014- 18th YEAR!!!!  This offseason started with another letter from the Commish to the League.  Last year's Guarantee in 1-3, became this year's Ownership Galore in 1-4.  Another letter encouraging the League to build off of last season's renewed passion for the game and the League.  We brought back all 16 owners but 2 of the owners had name changes for their Teams due to special circumstance.  The Chadsworth Orange Crush would now be the Universal Shockers and the Old Town Ballerz would become the Arlington Cowboys.  The Owners Meeting would be at Larry Buds where they waived their $200.00 fee for us to use their Private Room.  Great Place!  At the Meeting we paid off Matt Carney for winning last season's NFL Picks game.  We had a few Owners miss the Meeting which would bring the League to release just days later, "The 5 things you must do to be an Owner in this Great League", one being not missing Meetings.  The only Rule Changes would be increase fines for anyone playing a line up with hurt players, etc, to $25.00.  Also a partial vote that would now allow Player for Player trades in the offseason that do not involve Draft Picks.  In the May Rookie Draft, the Twisters would have first pick and they drafted WR- B. Cooks- NO while the Rage picked WR- S. Watkins- BUF in the second slot.  We had our first "P.F.F. Preseason Kickoff Gathering" at Rocco's Bar in early August just to discuss the upcoming Draft and pick each other's brain's a bit. The Draft, after being in Colorado the previous season, would be back in Wichita, this time at Emerson Biggin's again.  Other than some Draft Board problems like it falling off the wall, and they only sent enough Draft Board for 15 teams, it all worked out and things went well.  The After Party was at Mike Warner's new home where he and his wife out did themselves and put together a great spread of food and drinks.  This Owners Meeting was a little stale for the spouses of the League and will be looked at in the future to try to add more excitement for everyone.   Then came the season.  The Thunderstorms, after having the best season ever, statistically last season, has their worst season in their Franchise History only putting up a 4-9 record.  The Blackshirts finish as top record in the League with an 11-2, but lost in the Black Conference Championship Game.  Rage wins the Diamond Division for the first time in 3 seasons, while the Kings win the Heart Division for the first time in 3 seasons.  The Shockers and the Cowboys finish with the Thunderstorms at 4-9 and last in their Divisions.  Twisters also finish last in their Division too with a 5-8 record.  The Dream Team finish with an 8-5 record and play the Rage in the Red Conference Championship Game.  The Rush and the Blackshirts meet in the Black Conference Championship Game.  The Dream Team and the Rush meet in Paramount Bowl XIV, and become the first two teams to make it to the Big Game 4 times.  In the end, Brock Adkinson and his Dream Team win Paramount Bowl XIV.  Brock has been in the League since 2000 and finished this season with his Dream Team being the winningest Franchise in History and finally winning their first Championship.  The End of Season Party / Awards Ceremony was at Brock's Home where we ate Pizza Hut that Rick had to go get and he was sent to the wrong location.  Due to one of the worst seasons with teams playing illegal line ups, something that goes against what we stand for as a League, Commissioner Tony implemented new rules at the End of Season Party.  $50.00 automatic fine if you miss one of our 3 mandatory Meetings, and $25.00 automatic fine if you do not play a full line up.  So another end comes and another new beginning is on the horizon. Dream Team, Wolverines, Twisters, and Thunderstorms are the past four Champions.  All with owners that are great and have been around awhile.  Will new blood prevail in 2015?  Or will the "Old Timers" continue to collect rings?  We will all see in 2015, our 19th season. 

2015- Can it be possible?  19 years?  As we finish up our second decade, the League slows down for no one.  What a huge year it would be with a bunch of new beginnings.  We lose Brandon Wade and his Shinobi this season but replace him with a great owner in B.J. Stansifer and his Nibiru Anunnaki.  We would find out at year's end that most owners in the League still had no idea how to pronounce the name of his team.  The Owners Meeting would be in the same building for the second year in a row, but this time it would be Caleigh's 88 Piano Bar that used to be Larry Buds.  A lot would come out of this Meeting.  We voted at last years End of Season Party to move the Owners Meeting from the 3rd Saturday in April to the 3rd SUNDAY in April.  At the Owners Meeting this year we agreed to make it permanent.  We also voted to make the NFL Picks by the spread this season and to get rid of the postseason consolation games we have played in past seasons.  We also voted to use a system for Schedule Making in the 3 out of Conference Games we play each season that will give us a true Strength of Schedule.  We also voted not to travel in 2015, but to move our travel year to 2016 which would be our 20th season.  Also, to set the Divisions first when declaring Wild Card Teams to stop "3 Way Ties".  The first pick in the Rookie Draft was RB- M. Gordon- SD by the Wolverines followed by RB- T. Gurley- STL by the Blitz.  Then to the Regular Season.  The Draft would be special one.  It would be at Lake Afton in an air conditioned building right on the water.  We would all bring food to grill on the huge outdoor grill which Casey House would be in charge of.  Man it was good stuff.  The Draft was awesome, location and content. The Draft After Party would be at the same location and was a blast.  The first pick in the Draft after Keeper P. Manning was WR- O. Beckham- NYG by the Anunnaki.  This year would bring with it the most offseason trades involving picks in League History.  Curtis and his Shockers led that charge.  The Regular Season would end with the Thunderstorms beating their teams last year's worst record ever with this year's worst record ever for their team with a 2-11.  This would also be the team's first time in their history to miss the Playoffs in back to back seasons. The Rage and the Cowboys would also finish bad with a 3-10 record.  The Club Division went off this season and beat their own previous record of 33 total wins by having 35 total wins this season.  The Blitz won the Division with a 10-3 record while the Rush match with their own 10-3 record.  Fury finished up with a 9-6 while the Shockers brought up the rear with a 6-7 record.  The Kings, Dream Team, and Wolverines all win their Divisions too.  The Rush make the Playoffs for their 12th time in 15 seasons which leads the League by 2.  The Dream Team now hold the longest Playoff Streak with 4 seasons while the Shockers hold the longest Playoff Drought with 8 straight seasons of missing the postseason.  Rookie Owner B.J. and his Anunnaki make the Playoffs in their first season and beat the Dream Team in the first round of the Playoffs. Kings beat the Twisters, Fury beat the Blitz and the Wolverines beat the Rush.  Then in the Conference Championship Games the Kings beat the Anunnaki while the Wolverines beat the Fury.  In the end the Wolverines beat the Kings 93.55 to 90.80 and win Paramount Bowl XV and also are the winners of 2 of the last 3 Paramount Bowls.  The Blackshirts beat the Silver Bullets in the Toilet Bowl and get the first pick in the 2016 Draft.  The End of the Season Party / Award Ceremony was at Casey House's new shop and it was awesome.  Commish gave out plaques to previous Paramount Bowl Winners and Certificates for various ups and downs of the season.  Tanner Rowland received the League's first ever Lifetime Achievement Award for 15 seasons of great success.  We also grilled on the grill great food and played Ladder Ball and threw the football around all night long.  So what will next year bring?  I know, 20 years!!!  The beginning of our 3rd decade.  Will the Wolverines  win it all again and become a true dynasty?  Or will one of our newer owners step up and win it all?  Will the cellar dwellers come up and take spots back?  All this will be found out in just months from now when we open up the 20th season of the Professional Football Federation.

2016- How many things do you own that are 20 years old?  How many things have you been a part of for 20 years?  Well, the Professional Football Federation turned 20 years old in 2016.  Simply....WOW!  2016 would bring in a big change in ownership.  We lost Scott Staib who had owned the Texas Twisters for 13 seasons.  Out the door also went Terry McGrath who owned the Bora Bora Beagles for 13 seasons.  We also lost Hunter Rowland who owned the Kansas Kings 6 seasons.  Last, we lost Jordan Stucky and Kyle Jensen who had owned the Whitewater Warriors for 5 seasons.  So how do you replace 42 years of experience in the PFF?  You replace them with as good as owners as you can possibly can find....and we may have done just that.  In the door came 3 friends, Adam Newbrey and his Delano Demons, Tony Hernandez and his Desert Pharaohs, and Aaron LeTourneau and his Lothric Black Knights.  All of these guys have played this game together and are now ready to fight the PFF Battle.  Also Jordan Dodson, past owner of the New York Empire, came back after a 3 year break to show the League he can play this game at this level.  His team name this time would be the Minnesota Gang Kidz which he would change after the season to the Santa Monica Aftermath.  One cool thing we would add this year is an official web address to our public website.  We have always had the address www.theffl.4t.com, now you can access our site with www.profootballfed.com.  The Coin Flip News, a spinoff of the National Inquirer, would make it's one season debut where funny made up stories of Owners and their dealings would be displayed with a "Cropped" pic of that owner leading the story.  2015 Champion Mike Warner had his pic up for most of the season showing a small package of manhood.  Remember, "Copped" pics. Our Owners Meeting this season would be at Quincy's Bar and Grill in Wichita where we would take up their very back room.  We voted in Text Threads as a way for teams to bid their Fantasy Dollars on Waiver Day instead of phone calls which we have always used.  We also voted in a new 16th round where WR's would be the only position allowed to be drafted there.  You no longer have to turn your Rookie Keeper in at the Owners Meeting, you now had until 48 hours before the Rookie Draft to do that.  And we passed that we would have this year's Draft at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, OK. The day after the Owners Meeting, Dream Team traded QB- C. Newton- CAR to the Shockers for WR- D. Hopkins- HOU for the first offseason trade of the year.  Another big trade happened right before the Rookie Draft when the Cowboys gave the 1st pick in the Rookie Draft to the Rage where they picked RB- E. Elliot- DAL.  Draft Day would be upon us fast.....Hard Rock Baby!  Owners met before the Draft at the top level of the parking garage at the Hard Rock where it was HOT!  We then carpooled to the Draft which was located at Lefty's on Greenwood where they would put us up in the Loft for our Draft.  Oh, on the way to the Draft we stopped at a local Tulsa phenomenon called the "Center of the Universe" which was a huge hit with the League.  Ok, not so huge but still cool.  The first player in the Draft was kept QB- A. Luck- IND by the Blackshirts.  The first pick came next by the Thunderstorms and was QB- A. Rodgers- GB.  Later in the season, Luck would be traded to Dream Team and Dream Team would trade the Thunderstorms for Rodgers.  The Draft would end on pick 256 with WR- R. Randle.  The Draft Party would be back at the Hard Rock where we would party the night away.  We started at their very cool sports bar and ended up outside at the pool.  Great times and great owners.  The season would bring lots of excitement.  Jordan came back to show the League that his first stint was just a hoax but showed the League his first stint might be just who he is when he finished 2016 at 2-11.  The Thunderstorms finish 5-8 and has their 3rd season in a row winning less than 6 games.  Attention came when new owner, Adam and his Delano Demon's finished tied for the best record at 9-4. Could this rookie make a splash in the Playoffs?  Wolverines and Rush also finished 9-4 winning their Divisions while the Black Knights with their rookie owner won the Diamond Division with only a 7-6 record.  In the Playoffs something crazy happened in week 1.  Both Division winners from the Red Conference were rookies and they both won their first round match up.  So we would have for the first time in the Paramount Bowl Ear, two rookies playing against each other in a Conference Championship game meaning we would have a rookie in the Paramount Bowl Game for the first time since Paramount Bowl I when Terry Townsley and his Blitz won it all.  In the end the Chicago Rush beat the Delano Demons 123.90 to 108.85 and became the first 3 time Paramount Bowl Winner ever!  Toilet Bowl winner would be the Thunderstorms.  End of Season Party / Awards Ceremony would be at Casey's House's place of business again.  This season we had basketball, a football target throw, and ladder ball at the party. Commish would play audio of rookie owner Aaron at the Draft Party talking major crap on owners Chris and Mike. A handful of owners went out to Karaoke after the End of Seaon Party but everywhere was crowded so we found a hole in the wall bar where we brought our own machine in and sang Karaoke in the backroom all night.  What a blast. So year 21 is upon us and what will it bring?  Who will win it all?  Who will fail? Time will of course tell, but this time for the first time, the League will be old enough to drink.  Hmmm...What will that mean for the Professional Football Federation?

2017- We are 21 years old this year!  Test of Time...Check!  This season we would lose one owner.  That would be BJ Stansifer and his Nibiru Anunnaki,  It would open the door for Blake Legleiter and his Arrowhead Choppa'z.  This season started out the same as last year, Owners Meeting at Quincy's Bar and Grill.  At the Owners Meeting we voted a $50.00 fine for anyone that plays an illegal line up due to a Bye week.  Also, we voted to get rid of the WR only 16th Round that we voted in just the previous season.  Text Threads for Bidding Wars that started last season too were changed back to phone calls like we always have.  Next was our Rookie Draft.  The Demons had first pick and that pick went to RB- C. McCaffery- CAR followed up by Fury who snagged RB- L. Fournette- JAC.  A couple of other highlights from the Rookie Draft was Silver Bullets who grabbed RB- K. Hunt- KC 14th who had a huge season and Blackshirts who picked QB- D. Watson- HOU who started out the season a Fantasy Stud before getting hurt mid-season.  The only offseason trade was when Dream Team gave QB- A. Rodgers- GB to the Shockers for WR- A. Green- CIN.  We also have our 5th Annual Preseason Kickoff Gathering at Bourbon Street Bar and Grill where we discussed the Draft and Draft Party.  Then the day everyone looks forward to, Draft Day!  This season we would Draft at Tony Hernandez's new Auto Sales Location. The first pick in the Draft was by the Thunderstorms who took RB- D. Freeman- ATL and last pick was by last years Champion Rush who took WR- D. Amendola- NE in the 15th round.  Draft Location was perfect.  What got tricky was after the Draft.  Tony and Kaylynn did a DMI just a couple weeks before Draft Day announcing, in a big way, the Draft Party Agenda.  For the first time ever, the PFF would take a Party Bus around the Wichita area and party the night away.  The tricky part was that the same night, what some were calling "The Fight of the Century" was on.  This fight was between Mayweather (Boxer) and McGregor (MMA).  So half the League would be dropped off at Brock's home while the rest of the League would Party Bus it.  In the end everyone was happy.  The fight was satisfying and those that did the Party Bus had a great time.  The regular season was exciting as usual.  The Silver Bullets finished with the best record, 10-3, while usual suspects Dream Team, Rush, and Wolverines all finished 9-3.  The surprise was the Thunderstorms who after 3 horrible seasons finished 9-3 and Division Champions.  The Fury had a bad season and finished last in the League with a 3-10 record.  Another surprise was the Demons.  They came into the League last season and made it all the way to the Paramount Bowl only to follow up this season with a 5-8 record and miss the Playoffs.  The Playoffs surprisingly had Jordan Dodson in them for the first time every after finishing his season 7-6.  But his Aftermath lost to the Silver Bullets in the first round.  Thunderstorms beat the Blitz in that same first round.  In the end Paramount Bowl XVII would come down to 2 time Champion Silver Bullets vs. 3 time Champion Chicago Rush.  The Rush was too dominant for the Silver Bullets and won their 4th Championship 88.05 to 71.00 and the Rush became just the 2nd back-to-back Champion, the first being Silver Bullets. The Rush also finish this 2017 season as statistically the 2nd best Team for a season in League History second only to the 2003 Pearl Harbor Barracudas.  Pro Bowl was next and the Black Conference Coaches Tanner and Tony D. beat the Red Conference Coaches Casey and Brock 123.20 to 119.25. Curtis Epley won the NFL Picks game with a 134-112-10 record.  The End of the Season Party would be at Brock's new home in a great setting where we ate Pizza and drank the night away.  So 22 years is upon us.  What will 2018 bring us?  A 5th ring for Tanner and his Rush?  Or will new blood surface to the top?  That's why we keep coming back, to find out things just like that.  See you then!

2018- Year 22 and we keep on moving along. This season we would lose two owners.  They would be long time owner Chris Hayes and his 3rd Rock Blackshirts and one year owner Blake Legleiter and his Arrowhead Choppers.  That would open the door for Vic Thompson and his Dayton Street A-Team and Friends, Stephen Matousek and Humburto Cervantes, and their Gotham Knights. The season would start out the exact same way it did the previous two with the Owners Meeting at Quincy's Bar and Grill in Wichita KS.  There we would vote on 8 possible rule changes and we would only vote in one of them.  That rule would be to still set the following years Draft according to how you finished the previous season, but you would get a number of ping pong balls that would reflect where you are in the Draft Order and they would be drawn to see what spot in the Draft you wanted to Draft at.  Then on to Draft Day and it would be a memorable one.  This year's Draft would be in Eureka Springs, AR and would be a blast.  The roads leading in and out of town alone was worth the trip.  The Draft was held in a really cool room at the Basin Park Hotel which is a very historic hotel.  We all stayed at a hotel that had picnic tables set up outside where we talked and drank the nights away.  That weekend in Eureka Springs was Volkswagen Fest and they were everywhere.  We would finish the trip the morning after the Draft at the Forest Hill Restaurant where we all filled our bellies with a buffet before journeying our way back to Wichita. What a great time.  Also this season we were introduced to the Anchor App which would house our DMI shows.  The season would be another great one with the Dream Team and Fury finishing the regular season with a league best 10-3.  The Demons would finish as Division Champs with only a 7-6 record, and the Rookie Team Gotham Knights would win their Division with an 8-5 record.  Rookies, no chance of them winning it all.  In the Playoffs the Rage and Dream Team, and the Pharaohs and the Knights would be playing in their Conference Championship Games for a chance to make the Paramount Bowl.  Dream Team would only score 68.45 points in that game but it was enough to beat the Rage who only scored 67.95 points.  Yuk!  On the other side, the Gotham Knights led by two Rookie Owners would beat the Pharaohs 169.50 to 119.85.  Wow! So the big game, Paramount Bowl XVIII. Knights vs. Dream Team.  In the end the Gotham Knights would beat the American Dream Team 164.05 vs. 106.55.  The Knights were by far the best team in the League when it mattered the most.  The NFL Picks would be won by Tony Hernandez and the Team Brock and Adam would beat Team Matt and Stephen in the Pro Bowl.  End of Season Party would be once again at Brock's house and we would finish the year up that night at Quincy's Bar and Grill just like we started it. So 2018 would finish as the Year of the Rookie but next season will be here before we know it.  So get ready, season 23 is right around the corner! 

2019- I know that 23 is not a very old person, nor is a Fantasy Football League, at least when it's one that plans on seeing at least 100 years old.  This season we would lose....Absolutely no one.  All 16 teams return with their previous years owners.  Yeah!!!  This season would kick off at Pizza Hut in Andover, KS where they would host us in a Party Room.  We did not vote any new rules in this season.  Last season the Dream Team played a QB out of Kansas City that would go on to win the NFL MVP Award.  This offseason the Dream Team would trade that QB, Patrick Mahommes to the Thunderstorms.  That could go down as one of the biggest offseason trades ever. The Draft would be held local at the Southside Bar and Grill in their side room which is virtually its own complete bar.  It was a perfect set up and we drafted the night away and eventually made our way back next door to the bar to drink and sing Karaoke as our After Party.  The regular season came and went and the War Eagles, Thunderstorms, and the Shockers finished with Division wins with 8-5 records.  And the Aftermath would win their Division with a 10-3 record.  Oh, by the way, that was only the 2nd Division Win in the 19 year History of the Shockers Franchise and their first Division win in 12 seasons.  The Rush had made the Playoffs 14 of their first 17 seasons now have missed them two seasons in a row.  The War Eagles and the Aftermath would be your Red Conference Championship Game while the Shockers and Thunderstorms would make up the Black Conference Championship Game.  The War Eagles would beat the Aftermath 120.05 to 88.95 while the Shockers would beat the Thunderstorms 145.30 to 82.90.  Paramount Bowl XIX would be the Universal Shockers vs. Warsaw War Eagles.  Unfortunately for the War Eagles it would not be much of a game.  The Shockers beat the War Eagles 152.90 to 78.60.  The Shockers had numerous good players but rode a QB named Lamar Jackson form Baltimore all the way to the Promise Land.  Jackson would be the first player in our League History to be our Regular Season MVP and our Paramount Bowl MVP.  Team Tony and Curtis would beat Team Dale and Jordan in the Pro Bowl 136.55 to 118.20.  The End of Season Party would be once again, for the third time in a row, be at Brock Adkinson's Home.  What makes this unique is that even though it was the third time in a row at Brock's Home, it was never in the same Place...Brocks likes to move.  At the End of the Season Party we voted to have the following season's Draft in Kansas City and then we sang the night away with Brock's really cool  music equipment.  Tony Hernandez would win the NFL Picks once again.  So there you have it, another great season in the books.  New Winners keep the game fresh but will that all change again next year?  Will we bring all 16 back again?  Year 24 will tell all.  Can't Wait!!!        

2020- *****Caution*****Caution*****Read at your own discretion*****. 2020 would be the most insane, sad, and weird year ever.  First, we would lose long time owners Mike Warner and his Westside Wolverines and Rick Steele and his Arlington Cowboys.  We could not have been luckier than to get 2 great owners to replace those long time greats. Dario Gloria, who shared ownership with Vic Thompson and his A-Team, would split off and take over the Wolverines, change their name to the K.C. Seminoles, and hire his son, Paco Gloria, to run day to day operations.  Humberto Cervantes, who shared the Gotham Knights with Stephen Matousek, would leave the Knights, and buy the Cowboys. That's how it all started back around the previous years End of Season Party......Then disaster struck!  Covid 19 reared its ugly head.  Everything was shutting down; mask was a requirement to walk out your door.  People were generally scared.  Rush owner, Tanner, was a frontline worker at a local hospital and had stories only you would hear from movies.  And Covid hit us right out of the chute.  There was no safe way to have our annual Owners Meeting in person. So for the first time ever, it would consist of each division having a conference call with the Commish.  It went rather smooth.  We would vote in 6 points for 60+ yard field goals. We would play the NFL Survivor Game instead of NFL Picks on the software.  Your "flex" player can now only be a RB, WR, or TE.  We also no longer have a tie breaker.  For the first time in 25 years, we could have a tie game.   So many changes were happening in the crazy world and now in our crazy world we call the P.F.F.. 2020 was a Travel year but we made the decision to skip the travel due to Covid and the fact that the next season we would be turning 25 years old and would travel then.  So what were we to do for a Draft? Get together?  Virtual?  Well.....the decision was made to have our very first outdoor, Covid-19 safe, Draft.  It would be at Brock's house. Draft Board would be in the back by the pool overlooking a lake.  Perfect!  But, fun and excitement turned to tragedy.  Due to Covid, we did not want everyone touching the stickers that go on the draft board, so Commish Tony brought in a dear friend and co-worker of his, Erin Swisher (Red), to run the draft board.  On the way home from our draft, Erin was involved in a head on collision where she and the driver of the other vehicle both passed away.  The worst scenario possible.  Erin had a great time at the draft.  She ate one of the biggest steaks ever and consumed a tray of 7-layer bean dip between breaks.  How she maintained her figure is maybe the greatest question ever.  She will forever be missed and even though for only a short moment with our League, forever a part of it.  A few big moments happened during the regular season like when WR- T. Hill- KC- War Eagles set the WR record for most points scored ever in a game with 57.90 points in week 12.  Or when TE- D. Waller- LVR- A-Team scored the most ever in a game for a TE with 45.00 points in week 13. Or a not so good moment like when the Thunderstorms scored the most points in league history and still lose with 151.20 points in week 12 losing to the Seminoles who scored 159.40.  The season would end with 8 excited teams making the playoffs.  A-Team would make the postseason for the first time 5 seasons only to lose to the Dream Team in round one.  Thunderstorms get revenge on the Seminoles from that week 2 disaster beating them in round one.  The Red Conference Championship Game would be the Lantern Corps vs. Dream Team where the Dream Team would only score 66.15 points in a losing fashion.  The Black Conference Championship Game would be Thunderstorms vs. Pharaohs.  Pharaohs would come out ahead.  Paramount Bowl XX would be the Lantern Corps vs. the Pharaohs.  The Pharaohs would lose this game in heart breaking form.  Pharaohs RB- A. Kamara- NO- started the Paramount Bowl Weekend off on a Friday Christmas Day Game where he scored 6 TD's and 155 yards.  Game over!  Not so fast.  The Lantern Corps chipped and chipped away until they overcame it all and became the victor of this historic game.   Warsaw War Eagles would win the NFL Survivor Game we would play instead of NFL Picks and Rage would win back-to-back Toil Bowl Championships.  We would finally venture out of our holes and finish the season at Brock's Home for the End of the Season Party.  Our beautiful traveling trophy would be handed off to our Champ the Lantern Corps.  Going forward what do we have to look forward to?  Lantern Corps owner Humberto won this year and just 2 seasons ago as part of the Gotham Knights.  Is he the one to fear?  A lot of new and old blood in the League now.  Season 25 will start to answer some of those questions.  All we can hope for now, is God willing, we never have another season like 2020 again. See you in 2021!!!

2021- What?  Year what?  Yes, it is true, the League would turn 25 years old in 2021.  Covid-19 was still a big thing, but things were starting to open up again and people were on the move. We started the season out at the Brock's Home for the Owners Meeting.  The NFL extended their season this year to 17 games so of course we did the same adding week 14 to our regular season.  During the Owners Meeting we voted to not add any fees so the Week of the Highest Scoring Team would be paid by the Lowest Scoring Team that week.  Also, the new Week 1 Weekly Winner would become the first team to score a TD on Sundays.  We would also change the order of our schedule as far as Conference and out of Conference Games.  A huge change would instead of waiting until the following week for a dropped player to become a free agent, that player would be available just in 24 hours.  And the Trade Deadline would be moved to the last week of the NFL bye weeks. The best news of all is that once again we would be bringing back all 16 owners.  The first pick in our Rookie Draft would be QB- T. Lawrence- JAC- Demons.  Now to prepare for the Draft. You know in season 25 we would do it big and big would be to return to Colorado Springs for the Draft.  We would stay at the Academy Hotel where we would lounge and eat a great breakfast each day at their morning buffet.  The Draft would be at the Tilted Kilt in Colorado Springs.  When we got there, they changed things up on us from when we reserved it.  They wanted to tuck us in a corner and share a little room with their normal guest.  After stressing out a bit, they finally gave in and met our needs.  The Draft ended up going off fine.  Paco had his huge draft board, and everybody noticed and commented. During the season the Shockers would add themself to the 200 Point Club when they scored 207.45 points in week 5.  Only 4 times at this point has that happened. Dream Team would break the ugly record of Most Points Scored and Still Lose when they scored 151.85 points in week 6 against the team that had the record before, Thunderstorms.  WR- C. Kupp- LAR- Fury would score 335.90 points this season and that would break the record for the Most Points Scored by a WR for a Season.  The Thunderstorms would tie the record for the most TDs in a season with 76 TD's.  And of course, we set a record for the Most Points Ever Scored by the League in a Season.  In the end, it would be a repeat of Paramount Bowl XI.  The Rage and the Thunderstorms would battle it out and just like in 2011, the Thunderstorms would prevail and become League Champs.  Then, things took a turn.  The End of Season Party would be scheduled at Brock's Home.  A week before the Party, Brock would inform the Commish that we could not have it at his house, and he would no longer be playing in our League.  So, the scramble was on to find a new location. What we thought was a lucky break was when we booked the upstairs room at the Rusty Nail in Wichita.  When we got there we were informed that they double booked us and there was nothing they could do and we needed to go.  After talking it through, they gave us 40 minutes.  We ran through it quickly and got our business done but what a horrible way to finish out a season.  In the end we survived and will be back better than ever next year.  Prepare world, the Professional Football Federation is going into the next quarter of a century.  Want to ride this train?  Buckle up and come for the ride.  Choo Choo!  See you in 2022!

2022- Can you believe it? We move into year 27 just like we knew we would 27 years ago.  Well Ok, it was truly always the plan.  We would start it all out at some old familiar stopping grounds when we had our Owners Meeting at Pizza Hut in Andover, KS for the 2nd time in the last few years.  They have a nice room to the side and of course the food that our leagues Matt Carney's family put together many years ago when they started the first Pizza Hut.  We voted on 5 items, all would all be struck down.  This would also be the 1st non-Brock year since 1999 after the fall out with the League and Brock at the end of the season last year.  First pick in the Rookie Draft was RB- B. Hall- NYJ- Blitz.  We lost Jordan Dodson and his Santa Monica Aftermath but picked up Cooper and his Hoth Troopers.  We also lost Tony H. and his Desert Pharaohs but picked up Chase and his Mile High Mayhem.  Three weeks before the Draft, the Commish announced that Brock was remorseful and wanted back in.  It would not happen this season.  A very exciting place would be the site of our Draft.  Lake Afton.  It had been 7 years since we have drafted there.  The great news is they double booked our shelter so for the same price, we got the biggest one they have.  It came with a full kitchen, bathrooms, and a huge space for the Draft.  It was great.  Casey, just like 7 years ago, manned the grill outside and we ate and drafted and picked football players.  Oh and don't forget the watermelon that Curtis was offering.  It was a crazy season.  The Spade Division had the division winner, Thunderstorms, go 12-2.  That does not happen very often.  Second place in the division, Seminoles, finished with their own 12-2.  Third in the division, Mayhem, had a 10-4 record.  It was the 1st time in league history where 3 teams in the same division had the record to win all 3 other divisions in the league.  WOW!  The Blitz finished on top of the Clubs, Wargs on top of the Heart, and A-Team over the Diamonds.  Brock’s old team, now the Tide was pretty stacked coming in to season but could never get it completely together.  The Rookie, son of Tanner, will have to show later if he is as great as his dad.  Rage would make the playoffs and lose in the first round like so many other seasons.  Last season’s champion, Thunderstorms, would lose in the first round also.  After winning his division and the hopes of his first ring, the A-Team makes it to the second round and loses to the War Eagles.  Blitz beat the Mayhem in the battle to go to the Paramount Bowl.   The Monday Night of our Paramount Bowl, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlins was hit in the chest and died on the field.  CPR was administered on national TV for almost 10 minutes.  Hamlins would go on to eventually make a full recovery, but the rest of the game that night was canceled.  Luckily the Paramount Bowl was decided on the 2nd drive of the game so we could put that in the books.  In Paramount Bowl XXII, the Blitz would beat the War Eagles 85.40 to 83.20 in a very close game.  The Toilet Bowl on the other hand was not decided so we decided that the Troopers and the Tide who were in the Toilet Bowl would share the title.  The Pro Bowl was won by the Red Captains.  Tony had been a captain for the previous 3 seasons and won but would lose with fellow captain Terry in this one.  End of the Season Party would be at Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Wichita.  When we needed something we had to go out front and get it, but the room was good and provided a screen and the equipment to put the laptop screen on it.  There it is, year 26 done and ready for 27.  Some of us are getting older and some of us are very young.  Commish will eventually want to hang it up but we all know the vision is for the league to exist on.  So who will be his protégé?  Time will tell.  On to 27!!!!

2023- Twenty seven years is upon us.  It is crazy!  This thing started at a magazine rack in a grocery store while a guy was on break.  The odds may not have been great, but go ahead, bet against us!  We started this season at Fuzzy's Taco Shops back room for the Owners Meeting.  Brock Adkinson would be announced back in the league and would be taking over the Lantern Corps whose owner, Humberto Cervantes, would be rejoining the Gotham Knights as Co-owner with Stephen Matousek.  Brock would rename the team American Dream Team, his past team's name for 22 years before stepping away last season.  Brock's Son, Peyton Bullock, would take over the Mile High Mayhem, but due to some personal issues, Peyton would be gone as fast as he came in.  Commissioner's son Jordan would return after taking a season off and would take over Cooper Fuksa's team the Gundabad Wargs and change the name to the Escondido Enmity.  At the Owners Meeting we would vote on 14 Rule Change Ideas.  Six of those would pass.  We moved the trade deadline back from the final week to week 13.  We voted that if anything happens to the Championship Trophy while in your possession, Commissioner would pick up and get fixed at the expense of the owner who had it.  You now, like always, must go through Commissioner to make any IR moves, not doing so will now be a fine.  Field Goals will now use decimal scoring, example, 53 yard FG will be 5.30 points instead of 5.00 points.  Written rule now saying we take a break after round 5 and 10 in the League Draft.  And we changed Fantasy Dollars from $100 to $150 a season and bid minimums went from $0.50 to $1.00.  We voted down unlimited add and drop transactions but moved it from 3 a week to 4.  The Rookie Draft came and A-Team started it out picking TE- D. Kincaid- BUF.  There was some good picks and some bad picks, like normal.  Now Draft Day was here.  This seasons we would travel to Shawnee, OK where we would Draft at the Grand Casino Hotel and Resort in the back party room of their sports bar, Grand Stand Bar and Grill.  Most owners would come in on Friday afternoon.  Those that did, ate dinner and made a spot upstairs at the Fire and Ice Bar where we would listen to the music of 1 man singing and playing his guitar.  It was fun.  On Draft Day, the Commish would make his way down to the Draft Room to check on things and noticed what was promised wasn't being delivered.  He and the manager of the bar and grill got into a heated conversation about our needs and what we were promised by the sales department.  By the time the Draft started we were given well enough accommodations to get the job done.  It was after the Draft where we tested them.  In the Draft Room, we would play our traditional Right, Left, Center dice game.  Everybody was into it.  We got loud, and I mean deafening.  Here we were, in a room in the middle of the casino, rolling dice for a "pot".  Some of us were just waiting for them to bust the doors open and tell us to get the heck out.  In the end it all worked went fine.  Most owners would make it out pool side after the Draft to enjoy a warm night with drinks.  In the morning we would be gone and another Draft would be in the books.  The Casino was fun. The elevator?  Sketchy!  But good times.  Now time to get down to business.  It would be a crazy regular season that in the end the Spade Division would dominate again.  All 4 teams would finish better than every wildcard team in the league.  Domination!  The Shockers would finish on top of the Club Division, Dream Team on top of the Heart Division, War Eagles would finish with the league best record, 12-2, and on top of Diamond Division, while the Seminoles would come out on top of the Spade Division.  Silver Bullets have now only won 8 games in two seasons.  The once mighty Rush would win only 4 games after winning only 6 last season. In the first round of the playoffs The War Eagles would beat down the Rage, 146.65 - 99.15.   The Troopers, Knights, and Thunderstorms would also move on to the next round, as the Dream Team, Shockers, and Seminoles would join Rage in a one and done.  Knights and War Eagles would meet in Paramount Bowl XXIII.  The War Eagles now have been in the big game for the 3rd time in 5 seasons, and just like the previous two, they would lose.  Knights are Champions again.  Humberto and Stephen joined as co-owners in 2018 and won a Championship that same season.  Humberto went off on his own and won a Championship in 2020 as the Edmond Lantern Corps.  This season they would rejoin forces and win it all again.  Blitz, after winning the Championship last season, would win the Toilet Bowl this season.  We ended the season where we started it, Fuzzy's Taco Shop.  The End of the Season Party was a great one.  Prizes, stories, votes, drawings for picks, and of course our dice game.  This time Casey would win it all when he and Dale were the only 2 left and Dale tried to be stylish with a roll behind his back which sent the die tumbling to the floor which means you throw in a dollar.  WOW!  After the meeting, everyone moved out to the bar area which was a great time.  We closed it down and at 10:30 PM half the league moved down the street to Walt's East Wichita where we had a great time.  Then it got really late, and really blurry.  What a great end to another season.  We can't wait to see what next season will bring.  We won't have to wait long, Owners Meeting in just a little over 2 months.  See you when year 28 begins!
