With calendars across the fantasy universe turning to June, PD embarks on his 12th fantasy football season. The past twelve years have featured the construction of a fantasy football resume few could imagine. PD's humble beginnings in the FFFL portrayed a brash rookie, smitten with early success, that would morph into a prestigious veteran. PD's fantasy football nature was once an unspeakable dream, you could only whisper it, anything more than a whisper and it would vanish. PD's history became legend, his legend became myth, and for 9 years his fantasy football happenings began to spread. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the manager of power perceived his time had now come. He abandoned the FFFL, and assumed a position of absolute responsibility as Commissioner of The Miller Fantasy Football League. Mangers across the globe could now witness first hand the gravity of PD's fantasy football enterprises.
PD was engulfed in expectation and liability; governing the most prestigious fantasy football league of all time, while maintaining the high bar of success he had achieved as a manager. While other managers would have crumbled under the weight of such standards, PD excelled. Dominant regular seasons led to consecutive #1 seeds entering the playoffs. Consecutive first round defeats awaited him. While building his resume in the FFFL PD never questioned the need for luck when striving for championships. His teams in the MFFL have operated above a level of luck. Simply put, PD did not need luck. As has been stated many times before, once the playoffs start records get thrown out the door, regular season success is meaningless. Year after year teams squeak into the playoffs and later find themselves holding the championship trophy. All of PD's success has not been enough, and it will never be enough. He will need luck in order to take home the crown. PD now speaks to the rest of the MFFL:
Do not misconstrue what has happened these first two years. Any failure obtained has only enhanced my myth. I achieved levels of success others could only dream of, and I did it without an important variable in the championship formula, luck. Once this variable enters the equation, my legend will be unquestioned. The time will come when I hold the trophy. Any visions of the contrary are foolish. Truly enjoy the time left you have to condemn me for my lack of a championship, it won't last much longer.
