Bluey's Fantasy League Return!

First, Bluey and his Ellwood City/Oakmont Rangers lit up the EHL (Existential Hardball League) to the tune of 5 fantasy baseball titles in 10 seasons (1994-2003).

Then, Bluey and his Pitt/SCM Piewizzards rampaged through the FHL, winning 6 fantasy hockey titles (4 of them consecutively) in 10 seasons (1996-2005).

Now as an encore, Bluey will tackle the Gridiron this year as his Hail Mary squad will take the field and look to continue it's fantasy success on a little patch of astroturf in Washington, PA.

Some of its' participants have already began trash talking Bluey's ability to unseat their former champions. Saying that the chance of that happening would be similar to that of an eighty yard hail mary pass with :01 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Thus the inspiration for the team name.

Bluey will be joined by Highmark as the two newest additions in a fantasy football league hosted by Tay's family members, Cali, B and Flav.

Let the punishment begin...

Hail Mary's chances... There is a reason that name was chosen for the last play of a game, from a team in the last gasps of desperation. It's appropriate for Bluey's team name.

With respect to the renown achievements of said fantasy overachiever, everyone does begin with the same opportunity to win. With all the intensity and desire to scrawl his name into the annuals of the WashPa league, Bluey is making an almost religious investment in his research of the NFL.

I predict with confidence that this research will pay off for him, and that a middle of the pack finish is achievable. But, as Bluey must know from his previous two fantasy champions, the stats just don't always tell the whole story. You may have better luck in year two Bluey, but this year you've got a Hail Mary's chance to be in the money.
