Guess who's back, back again....
Hello all you lovable scumbags and welcome to Season 8 of the Zlockie Fantasy Football League where we'll cheer, jeer, complain about healthy players stashed on IR, and generally trash talk our way through to the anointing of the lauded Tiny Trophy 🏆 🪨🏆 and dreaded Pink Shirt 👚🪨👚 of familial shame.
This season we welcome two new football clubs to the league, FC Lizwe and FC Mark & Jon. For their benefit, and the rest of our Miller Lite™ 🍺 addled brains, here's a brief league recap since its immaculate 🙏 inception in 2018:
The league started in 2018 in Kulpmont, PA with 14 teams and in 2019 added the expansion teams, FC Justin and FC Nathaniel. The first league champion was FC Matt and a namesake Zlockie has yet to won the Tiny Trophy. FC Luke is the reining champion, and FC Noah is the only multiple time winner, 2023 and 2020. Astoundingly, we've already had one esteemed team that’s won both the Tiny Trophy and the Pink Shirt, FC Eric, which occurred humbly on back to back seasons, going first to worst in 2021 to 2022. The current lovable coal bin dweller and Pink Shirt champion is, FC Joel. Lastly, only one team in league history has won the Pink Shirt multiple times, FC Alex, in 2020 and 2019.
