The Franchise. The Creator. The Punisher. Jesus. Well maybe not the last one, but maybe the first three. Well Mark is sorta becoming The Franchise. I guess The Punisher works, I mean he did play for The Hardware last year, but he didn't really punish anyone. But one name is for certain, The Creator.
Yes, I may have done all the internal setup with the ESPN stuff and junk, but it was Marcus Paguliarulo who actually came up with the idea for Sunday Funday (not sure who came up with the name).
Let us start off with some backstory. Pags was still playing football, and I had just put his knee into a bad place. Pags and I were leaving lunch and heading for the elevator near the weight room to head to the legendary Ms. Dobsons English class. I'm pretty sure this was the second or third day of school. Either way, as they waited for the elevator to come down, Pags announced that he has never tried Fantasy Football, and then said something to the likes of "we should totally make a league" or "Let's do this." I have no idea, it was almost a year ago. August 27th to be exact. Pags and I then began the search for members, with the first being Graham, then Sam, but ESPN required at least five for a league. Mark was an option, but screw him, we brought in DelGatto #HailBranchez. And like that, Pags had created one of the greatest things everyone in this league has today.
But it isn't just his imagination that has made this league. He actually plays the game well. He drafted a solid squad starting with Adrian Peterson and he just went off from there. He tore through the leagues first four game, starting off 4-0 and scaring the poo out of everyone. He then skidded to finish the season 1-5, but managed to make the playoffs, thanks to his strong opening performance. Playoffs came along, and went on to defeat Suck my Ditka (greatest name ever) but failed to gain The Hardware from Mark.
He isn't done though apparently. When I asked him what he wants this year, he dropped a bomb and left the mic sitting right on the ground.
"What I want? I want a reign of terror and destruction that catapults me into victory. Not only victor but the complete destruction of all foes. I'm on a war path baby and I'm about to get medieval on your honky asses. Si vis pacem, para bellum."
Good Fellas opens the season against The Barth Knight Rises.
"If you want peace, prepare for war."
