We're back!
A new season is upon us. 2.5 new members, all new teams, can't wait to get started.
Let's start by meeting the new players:
Blake Grewing - 14.0 - Easily becomes the best player in the league 100 yards and out, possibly the worst player in the league from 100 yards and in.
Skee Hardin - 9.8 - First single guy in league history, but has agreed to the new league rules that went into effect for the 2025 season.
Patrick Amoroso - 29.2 - A fire fighter, a real man's stach, and 16 strokes on the front nine. What else could you want in league memeber?
Draft Grades:
Team Saller - A+ -
Sometimes a draft plan just comes together. Collier first over all, no brainer. Blake and Zinski at the turn, easy decision. Then, getting a 29.2 handicap to fall in your lap when the commissioner of the league is already on the team? Hope the league members enjoy net shambles.
Team McKnight - D
The only reason the team did not receive and F is Ben, Eddie and Erik are defending champs, and Erik has won 3 league championships in a row. But you replaced Big Phil with Joe. The high draw for the bitch cut, good luck with that.
Team Davenport - F
All downhill after Elliot. The rest of the picks, specifically Josh, were reaches.
Mr Irrelevant:
The team with the last pick in the draft has won every year of men's league. Josh the first year and Erik the last three. Erik could not attend this years draft to see the torch passed on to Patrick but I was able to catch up with Erik after the draft to get his thoughts:
CC - Last year you joined elite company by winning three championships in a row, what do you attribute your success too?
EC - Well, the first two years I had Jack, MD and KC on my team. I also think Josh played one or both of those years, I can't remember. If he was he didn't do anything memorable. They, the first three, really carried the load and I contributed when needed. That team was great and all but they didn't really let me be me. Jack would get mad when I got my remote control car out on number six or MD would get frustrated when I went to one handed putting. Then last year the Puff Caddies had no choice but to pick me and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. By the time we would get through the haze of smoke on number one those guys didn't give two fucks. Really let me spread my wings and fly as a player. I owe a lot to that team.
CC - Anything you worked on in the offseason to improve your game?
EC - No.
CC - Do you agree with Ben potentially retiring the Puff Caddie name?
EC - Hell no, Puff Caddies are synonymous with Thursday Night Men's League. It would be like the Cowboys changing their name just because Tony Romo doesn't play for them any more. It's a brand that I'll be proud to tell my grandkids that I was a part of.
CC - Any goals for the upcoming season?
EC - My only goal is for Collier to update the damn website weekly, is that too much to ask?
CC - Fair enough.
