Week 4 Press Release

The Perpetual Dynasty vs The Real McCoy

Date: October 1, 2017
Time: 1:00PM
Place: TPD Field House

Starting Lineup:
QB: Tom Brady
WR: Odell Beckham Jr.
WR: A.J. Green
RB: Jacquizz Rodgers
RB: Ameer Abdullah
TE: Travis Kelce
FLEX: Chris Hogan
K: Ryan Succop
DEF: Pittsburgh

Week 3 brought about the first loss for the TPD franchise since week 11 of last season. It was a devastating turn of events as TPD had the 3 highest scoring outputs of the match-up, but also had to watch in horror as 3 players, Jacquizz, Travis, and Amari, each scored 1 point apiece, torpedoing any chance TPD had at winning. Days like that are few and far between, and he will try to quickly move forward for a big match-up against the McCoy franchise.

TPD is still off to a strong start for 2017 and while last week was disappointing, his hopes remain high for this season. The last thing TPD wants to see however is the string of bad luck and circumstance that cursed this franchise during many of games of the MFFL in years past. Last week felt like those previous moments, but TPD still feels they have turned a corner in that regard and want to move away from such things this week. TPD's gameday managing was not as strong a week ago, but looking at his roster there weren't any conceivable changes that he should of been made, still he looks to get back to starting optimal lineups. He also received strong performances from bench players further building TPD's confidence in their current value and season long prospects.

Brady has been carrying the torch for this franchise over the last two weeks and TPD will once again use that leading light as the guiding force for this team. Beckham and Green showcased what a starting lineup with each of them in it can mean for opposition, and this week they both have great match-ups on paper. The RB situation continues to be fluid, but the addition of Gillislee should help to steady the ship for the short term. Kelce has to perform better, 1 catch, on 1 target, for 1 yard is simply unacceptable. TPD's RBs and FLEX will be gametime decisions. A new kicker is on the roster, and he is the NFL's leading point scorer. If Succop can continue this pace TPD may of found a diamond in the rough, but that is a big if. TPD will continue to roll with Pittsburgh D, as they have been usable in every week this season much to the franchise's surprise.

After two weeks on the road TPD is back in the friendly confines of TPD Field House. The fans will be out in droves for this mega match-up. The NASTY was all crushing in his first home game this season, and the barrels have been restocked with the excess run off for Sunday's battle. No amount of detailed schematics in the world will help TPD's opponent when the NASTY inches towards them with thundering impetus. It's just NASTY baby.

Player Profile: Travis Kelce
Kelce hurt TPD last week. He hurt him deep. But TPD will illustrate his confidence in his players by promoting Kelce to the player profile for this week. Kelce will be on display in primetime on Monday night. Anyone who knows Travis knows that he shines brightest when the spotlight is on. He wants to play big in these spots. It will happen this week and Kelce will get back in the good gracious of TPD. Fans will tighten hands towards their face in awe as Travis makes plays that could only be described as "Oh so NASTY" similar in nature to his dance moves.

Week 3 Press Release

The Perpetual Dynasty vs El Pollo Loco

Date: September 24, 2017
Time: 1:00PM
Place: Burritoville

Starting Lineup:
QB: Tom Brady
WR: Odell Beckham Jr.
WR: A.J. Green
RB: Jacquizz Rodgers
RB: Ameer Abdullah
TE: Travis Kelce
FLEX: Amari Cooper
K: Blair Walsh
DEF: Pittsburgh

TPD's 2017 MFFL journey enters week 3. He put on a show a week ago scoring the most points in the league. He is now (2-0) for only the 2nd time in franchise history. The previous time he started (2-0) his team set the individual game and overall season points record. Dating back to last season, TPD has now won 9 of 10 games including the playoffs. It's an incredible feat, though TPD knows it could be shattered at any moment. Like this week for example, when he faces the high powered Loco franchise.

Loco is no longer TPD's rival but ironically enough this season's match-up may be the most hyped of the series. Though the season is young, both teams look heavy at the top with fire power few teams can match. Loco is ready for this one and can't wait to put all their eggs into one meeting against TPD this season. It's a match-up expected to dazzle all fans of MFFL football.

TPD will try to sustain a 2nd strong week in a row from his lineup, a challenge TPD is perhaps the most historically able at doing. Brady bounced back in a big way, scoring 3 TDs in the first quarter. Even in a tough match-up at home, Brady is expected to be a star for this franchise all season. TPD is back at it again, making trades akin to the wild west. This week he acquired A. Cooper, a bright young talent that spent time on TPD's roster last season. The WR core now features Beckham, Green, Cooper, and Hilton as TPD's top 4 WRs. He is no stranger to such WR cores, but the accumulation of such talent before week 3 is quite remarkable. Only time will tell if TPD's moves will garner success, as most of his moves have an inherent amount of risk attached to them. The RBs will be jumbled together this week but he is happy to still have a RB in a feature role in Rodgers for the next two weeks, even with tough match-ups. Kelce played up to his standards a week ago and TPD's drafting of Pittsburgh has paid off as they have had relatively easy match-ups to start this season. TPD's excellent gameday managing has perhaps allowed him to win both of his early season match-ups. He will once again attempt to put his best foot forward for week 3.

All told TPD's roster looks stronger, at this stage of the season, than it has in previous installments of MFFL football. Work remains of course, but TPD is ready to go to war with this team all season, and his confidence gives franchise employees and fans hope. His confidence can best be illustrated by the incredible might of the NASTY ooze engulfing fields, players, and coaches for all who challenge TPD. The respect between TPD and his opponent this week is extremely high. So much so that these two use to share the same headquarters on Thanksgiving, where TPD would serve this manager a hefting bowl of NASTY each year. The invitation to  the Thanksgiving meal will remain, as well as the respect, but the NASTY will be served weeks earlier for this massive early season match-up. Both squads will come hungry, ready to eat. Watch and find out if TPD's stomach will succumb to the most wretched tasting burrito even folded, or if TPD's NASTY juice will force Loco to crumble into submission and into multiple bathroom visits.    

Player Profile: A.J. Green
A lot has been made about the lack of production coming out of the Bengals offense, but Green scored 12 in week one and 11 in week 2, both games against extremely tough defenses. If this is his rock bottom floor then Green is set to have some huge games in the near future. Green is salivating for the ball and don't be surprised if he gets it this week against a high scoring team on the road. The color of the NASTY this week will be GREEN. OH NO!

Week 2 Press Release

The Perpetual Dynasty vs ShowMeYourTDs

Date: September 17, 2017
Time: 1:00PM
Place: TD's Brothel

Starting Lineup:
QB: Tom Brady
WR: A.J. Green
WR: Chris Hogan
RB: C.J. Anderson
RB: Jacquizz Rodgers
TE: Travis Kelce
FLEX: Odell Beckham Jr.
K: Blair Walsh
DEF: Pittsburgh

For the 2nd year in a row TPD began his season in style, with back to back week one come from behind victories on Monday Night Football. Fans of the franchise rejoiced as TPD's stellar gameday managing once again put his players in a position to perform their best, and they came through with a huge victory. TPD picked up Blair Walsh a day before the match-up began and he started C.J. Anderson in place of Ameer Abdullah. Without each of those moves TPD would not have won the match-up. It's the nature of the beast in the MFFL, one flip of a coin changes the fortunes of all, but one thing that gives TPD and his fans confidence is his ability to more times than not make the right decision come gameday morning.

Week 2 begins tonight and TPD is squaring off with a familiar foe. The TDs franchise is the typical week one opponent of TPD, but they had to settle for a week 2 match-up as TPD did battle in a championship rematch. The TDs franchise is always confident and this season present perhaps their toughest challenge. Their roster is very solid from top to bottom and the differences in talent are negligible when comparing specific player match-ups.

TPD will look for a much stronger showing from Brady. If it does not come this week against the Saints then serious questions will arise regarding Brady's long term value. TPD is looking for bounce back weeks from his other stars as well, and better performances from Green, Thomas, and Kelce seem like a positive possibility. The late additions last week will remain in the starting lineup, Anderson and Walsh, while TPD could change it up in his flex with a possible free agent pick up from earlier this week.

Week one victories for TPD are somewhat of a rarity, but having it happen two years in a row gives him confidence. TPD is not forgetting though that he lost 3 straight after week one a year ago, and his team struggled to score points during that span. While a week 2 victory may not be a necessity, it would be a huge boost for a franchise plagued by slow starts. Giving this team an early buffer could spell doom for many a manager of the MFFL. While the NASTY may not have been maxed out on Sunday, it was still oozing everywhere as TPD scored over 100 points while his best four players combined for only 36 points. That's some scary NASTY. The TDs franchise is as confident as ever, but a NASTY display come Sunday may remind them of the awesome oozing power they have fell prey to in the past. The quest to conquer the East begins this week.

Player Profile: Jacquizz Rodgers
Remember last year in this same match-up when TPD's stunning selection of DeAngelo Williams paid off on a Monday night comeback victory over this very franchise. Well TPD remembers, and this week he will attempt do something of a similar sort. In steps Jacquizz Rodgers as the lead back for Tampa Bay, and with it big opportunities. It's a quintessential TPD move, and one that reeks of NASTY. Do it Jacquizz...do it.

Friday Update: TPD made a massive splash just before the Thursday kickoff. He acquired Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ was an invaluable piece of the championship puzzle last season and having him back in the fold for this year is truly remarkable and unexpected. TPD has taken on risks with a few trades of late, but the rewards could be exponential. TPD is working out a Beckham dance as we speak. NASTY.

Week 1 Press Release

The Perpetual Dynasty vs Unstopa-Bo

Date: September 10, 2017
Time: 1:00PM
Place: TPD Field House

Starting Lineup:
QB: Tom Brady
WR: A.J. Green
WR: Michael Thomas
RB: Ameer Abdullah
RB: Rob Kelley
TE: Travis Kelce
FLEX: Stefon Diggs
K: Adam Vinatieri
DEF: Pittsburgh

The 2017 MFFL season knocks at the door of a champion. The time for reverence and fulfillment concludes, for a moment, and the time for focus and preparation now ticks. It is time for TPD to embark on yet another journey. The chronicles of 2016 are etched in stone. A championship for the ages. 2017 brings the same uplifting of nostalgia and anticipation, but with a new sense of foundation. TPD has always needed to exorcise their demons from the previous season when the MFFL turned a new, but not so for this season. A new approach, one built on foundations of gold, is what's in store for this esteemed manager.

Its unclear how the new emotions leading into a season will affect TPD. Perhaps it will allow him to grow even more as a manager, as the weight of his troubled past fails to bring him down. All that is certain is that TPD's focus and sharpness are at an all time high. His focus this week is on the task at hand, against his most recent opponent, for a huge remake of last season's championship affair. Unstopa-Bo was dealt a major blow to his lineup this week as Mike Evans and Jay Ajayi can not be started in week 1 as their game has been moved to week 11. This occurrence can only be viewed as a positive for TPD, but as we have learned from many a season in the MFFL, never count anyone out, ever.

TPD's lineup is mostly set, with the exception being his RB slots. Jacquizz Rodgers is no longer an option, so the choices are down to three. Abdullah, Kelley, and Anderson will all be in play come Sunday, and the decision will likely occur just before kick off. His QB will be Tom Brady. It is the first time in 15 years of playing fantasy football that TPD has had Brady on his roster. It is impossible to predict an outcome of Brady's presence on TPD's roster, as the rarity of the selection brings about questions. But if TPD's past history with 3rd round QBs, and Brady's own history, are any indication, the combo of Brady and TPD could be an outrageous positive. He is set with Green and Thomas at WR, and although Thomas has a bad match-up to start the season, TPD once again will rely on his WR's to set the tone for his starting lineup. Travis Kelce is a superstar TE, but may have a difficult night if the Pats try to take him out of the equation. Still, Kelce could have a monster season as KC's surefire beast target. The flex slot is all but certain as Diggs has a tremendous match-up but it is possible a change is made by gametime, though unlikely. TPD most deal with not have Gostkowski as his kicker for the first time in seemingly forever, but Vinatieri may have multiple opportunities for an offense doomed to stall during drives. Pittsburgh D could be in for a big day as they face a rookie QB who struggled winning 6 games in college a year ago. All told TPD is ready, and although his opponent is not at full strength, and close game is still expected.

The gravity of this moment, the fact that football is back and TPD is hours away form taking the field, is truly difficult to describe with words. TPD reached the mountain top last season. The climb was all that mattered. But after the reverence filled descent TPD is ready to once again embark on that journey, with a new foundation and pride. After all, what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. TPD will be carrying with him a jam packed, overflowing, grossness, all encompassing supply of NASTY. The NASTY devoured all opponents late last season and now it is hungry for more. Raising TPD's championship banner at TPD Field House on Sunday will be the perfect location and backdrop for the NASTY to once again feast on a TPD opponent. Beware all would be challengers, the NASTY seeps towards you.

Player Profile: Tom Brady
Many were in the running for this week 1 player profile spot, but at the end of the day, there could be no one else. For years UB has used Brady as their ultimate weapon, but this season the firepower will be pointed directly at them. Brady is now a TPD, and come Thursday night he will show exactly what that means for all who witness. This scary display of NASTY cannot be fathomed. Those with weak stomachs should avert their eyes. The NASTY in week 1 will be spelled BRADY. Let the 2017 season begin. How sweet it is.
