MGS FFL 10 Year Anniversary SPECTACULAR!

[pensodyssey]

Hard to believe, but it’s now been ten years since this league has been together. When we first played, Finny was nothing more than your average, everyday head on a pillow, Jonzr was still looking for his pipe, Y2J was fresh off his early success as Cowher’s number one wire man, and AJ posted what was to prove the first in a long line of legal disclaimers, none of which has prevented him from relentlessly pimping on-line gambling ever since.   We were young and stupid; we hadn’t yet learned to noodle for flathead and none of us could even imagine that Mrs. Bud Tarken would be dead within the year. 

We were young and stupid, all right.  Hell, we all still had our left nuts.  What did we know?

What follows is a summary for each active manager since 2002 plus one of the n00bs.  Jar will be excluded, rightly or wrongly, and so is Vinman, who finished 3rd in 2009.   Also I’d like to officially note here how much of a giant wuss Otis is for never playing. 

I’ll do it in order of Olympic-style medal count.

I apologize for any oversights or omissions, as I have been writing this post slightly drunk since 11 p.m. tonight.

I remember way back in '03 when men were still men and there was a flathead for every pan. Ah, those were the days.

You should consider locking this thread.  Be a shame if someone accidentally deleted it.
