Congratulations to The Skyns: 2011 AldenLeague Champs!


Congratulations to Mike Hoskyns and The Skyns, winners of Fantasy Bowl XII and 2011 AldenLeague Champions!

The Skyns, in their first-ever Fantasy Bowl appearance, scored a 182.93-150.51 victory over the L.A. Ninjas to win the "Battle of Los Angeles." The Skyns needed approximately 50 points going into Sunday night's Green Bay/Chicago game, and got big points from the combination of kicker Mason Crosby (5 pts) and newly-acquired wide receiver James Jones (19.14 points). That put Hoskyns down 24 going into Monday Night Football, where QB Drew Brees and TE Jimmy Graham of the Saints were needed to seal the deal. And seal they did: Graham contributed a cool 12 points even, while Drew Brees lit up the scoreboard with 44.20, setting the NFL's passing yardage record, but most importantly, clinching Crittenden Division Champions, The Skyns to Fantasy Bowl glory.

The Skyns's victory is the third league championship in a row for members of the Crittenden Division (Ice Cold Bruschis in 2010, Most Murderous in 2009), and all four members have made the Fantasy Bowl within that span (Fireseed lost to I.C.B. in 2010). The Fantasy Bowl appearance also marks the L.A. Ninjas' second 2nd-place finish in 3 years, after earning the silver medal in 2009 as well.

A big congratulations to The Skyns for their championship. Also, a big congratulations to the following AldenLeague members for their various awards won this year:

The Skyns - League Champions, Crittenden Division champions
L.A. Ninjas - 2nd Place
Boys of Fall - 3rd Place, Westwood Division Champions, Most Points, Best Week
The Risen - Sandridge Division Champions
The Stigs - Toilet Bowl Champions

And of course, thank you to all AldenLeague members for your participation in the 2011 AldenLeague season, Andy Morrish for his hard work on the website, Erick Puzan for planning Draft Day, and Adam Wojnowski for his treasury duties. See you all again next year!

AldenLeague Keeper Predictions

Image
By: Ryan Hoffman  W e’re getting close to draft day, and with that, the deadline to declare keepers for this year’s draft. And to honor the League’s 15th year, our esteemed Commissioner has bestowed the honor of predicting this year’s keepers to yours truly. Can you believe it!? I picked Lamar Miller in the 3rd round and then traded my 2nd round pick, Matt Forte, to the future league champion for an over-the-hill dumpster fire (a.k.a. Steven Jackson). I clearly don’t have any idea what the fuck I’m doing, which clearly makes me the best choice. Like that stupid ass camel who helped predict the World Cup, or Jessica Simpson filling out her NCAA bracket based on the virility of the mascots... Anyway, let's get to it! Most Murderous : Does anyone really care? He’s just gonna spend the whole draft projecting his “masculinity” onto everyone else and call Steve a fag because he speaks proper English (cut to Erick: “That be true”). Plus, he has SO many options with how ...
