"You believe you know what it means to be a monster. You have no idea..but I'm going to show you."

It is time! TPD's march to an MFFL championship begins on Sunday. The long sweltering summer is but a beed of sweat now on his battered brow. So much has changed, so much will change. What was once perpetual, is now Peaking. And oh what a time it is to peak. TPD sets his sights on the horizon once again. Cast in glory, then etched in stone, before finally golden. TPD and his legendary band of warriors set forth, and the reaper takes flight. Week 1 is upon us. The league quivers in fright. 

TPD's epic poor circumstance bit him again last year. But no matter, no matter. Things have changed now. TPD willingly took the 1st overall draft slot in this years draft, and with it he constructed an army with a single purpose...to destroy the likes of MFFL men. Managers sat in awe as his team took shape, one dominant selection after the other. The star studded cast is elite at the top, and with depth to spare. Lamar Jackson is set to have his best season since his MVP year. The new OC will unlock Lamar's peak potential. Justin Jefferson should have been a TPD star last season, but it was not to be. Patience is a virtue, and J Jettas finally gets a chance to rock the classic TPD colors. A contract year for him and his QB? Are you kidding me? Look out for a 2,000 yard season. Jaylen Waddle and Chris Olave are destined for greatness. WR1 seasons are in their future. White and Cook are young and ready to eat. They will peak at the most opportune moment. Waller has grown even stronger in his new giant form. For he is the WR1 at his new home. 

The bench has already been bolstered by great trading, and a savvy early season pick-up. Scary Terry is WR#4. Jerry Jeudy is WR#5. Gabe Davis is WR#6 And Nico Collins is WR#7. Is that a joke? No team has ever had that much depth at a single position before the season has even started. However it shakes out, whether it be trades or elite insurance, TPD is ready for whatever is thrown his way. His team is ready to dominate. For they always dominate. 

Perhaps their domination comes from a source. In fact, there is no perhaps about it. We all know its true form. And now, with the changing of the guard of their name, the NASTY, from Dynasty, finally yearns to peak. What combination could possibly be more deadly? A peaking NASTY, and a NASTY peaking. The weight of such a fusion will be felt by all within the MFFL. For what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. I may be down for a moment by I always come back. 

Player Profile: Justin Jefferson

The wait is finally over. Jefferson's long awaited debut with the MFFL's premier franchise ends on Sunday. It is a match made in heaven, for both break the mold, setting records anywhere they step. Welcome to nirvana JJ. We will do great things together, creating a symphony of memory. Let your NASTY out, for it is time to peak.

Reflections: Welcome to TPD 2023

 "I might be down for a moment, but I always come back."

What once was, is now lost.

TPD has long endured a haunting nameless shadow. For years it has followed him, sucking the life from his veins. For the world is a vampire, sent to drain. Not a single other combatant in the MFFL can match the unrelenting poor circumstance that TPD faces in repetitive motion. Some have called it the balancing of the scales. For TPD's dominance is so large, the league may have crumbled under the weight of his awesomeness long ago, if not for the shadowy circumstances holding him back. It is his counter part. TPD is memory, precious and pure. He shines on, he shines bright. The shadow is a void. He and it, locked in a prison of perpetual war. But TPD will once again walk out of darkness and into freedom, as once was.

Last season TPD finished in last place for the first time ever, spanning many season and multiple leagues. It's in moments like these when TPD begins to reflect, and also see reflections of his past. Mirrors of the past shine bright with lingering pain, for TPD's 2022 played out eerily similar to another one. Though, if history is to repeat itself, TPD is in for one hell of a bounce back. 

The season we speak of was 2015. He missed the playoffs for the first time. This on the heels of three devastating playoff defeats the three previous years. 2015 took a man on a teetering stack of madness, and dropped him to his knees. The league devoured TPD in 2015. Six teams scored at least 140 points against him. He had the league's toughest schedule by a whopping margin of over 100 points. Fate once again seems to be not without a sense of irony. For in 2022 the exact same number of teams scored over 140 against him, six. He also had the league's toughest schedule like 2015. Both seasons came and went like a raging tsunami, with TPD incapable of preventing the utter devastation, though he tried.

In both seasons TPD wielded arguably the best team in the league. He had total point finishes of 3rd in 2015, and 4th last season. If not for the league smashing against him, the playoffs were inevitable. In fact, if not for bad luck and poor circumstance, TPD would have an undefeated playoff appearance record. You see, nothing has changed. TPD is the same. His bad luck the same. His dominance the same. The fear in the hearts of those would be opposers, the same. The NASTY, the same. After 2015, there was a shift in the wind, and he can feel the breeze once more. 

Everyone now knows the tale. TPD hardened after 2015. He won three straight championships in 16,17, and 18. A dynasty like no other. A true 3peat. TPD had finally cemented his rightful place at the top. An emotion everyone already felt, but now they saw and knew. History is repeating. 2023 is a smash year for TPD. How dare you give this man the 1st overall pick and expect nothing less than greatness. His mind hardened. His wits sharp. TPD has seen this evil before, and vanquished it. It now returns, but once again it will meet its same sticky end. The brilliance of TPD's glow will shine out the clearer. For what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. This is a resurrection, i'm back from the dead. Everything after is my legacy, like it or not. The crown looks wrong on your head, I want that. 

For you must feel it. This brief slide is soon to stop. TPD's rise back to the top will be swift and terrible. All will crumble under the weight of his awesomeness. For he carries with him a new weapon of destruction. He adopted it following the loss if his perpetual nature. You see, one is not perpetual in last place. So he searched in the dark for new meaning, and found it. It is one of the utmost timing. For The Perpetual Dynasty is no more. Give rise to The Peaking Dynasty. A franchise built around perfect timing, cunning, and preparedness. "I see you."

Now the NASTY from dynasty has a new counterpart. They are the bash brothers. All shall kneel. You down with TPD? Ya you know me. TPD, once shattered, then mended, etched in stone, and finally golden. The path shall be traveled once more.
