Owners who are salivating over Ohtani: the Circle has been in communication with CBS.  At the present time, anyone who drafts Ohtani will have to choose whether he is a pitcher or a hitter.  They are working on a logarithm to allow both, but it does not look promising.  We have suggested to them to allow leagues to draft him twice, one as a hitter and once as a pitcher.  Stay tuned.

Curt,
 
Thank you for contacting us back.  Your suggestion is actually one of the options being considered.  As previously mentioned, it is still a bit too early to know what will be done yet.  We appreciate your patience.  
 
We appreciate your continued support in making CBSSports.com your number one choice for Fantasy Sports.
 
Regards,
Commish William

Just wondering would we drafting him once as a a hitter and once as a pitcher, if CBS implements that suggestion?  Or would the BBFL team drafting him get both CBS versions of him on their team?

Curt,

Tell them the draft is next week and you need an answer before then.  You pay the damn bill they work for you.  Fix this ****.

The same owner might get both versions, but, no, he would not get both with one pick.

I already told him you were in this league, JR, and the response was, "then who gives a sh!t."

CBS is offering $30 off for re-ups.  Anyone not in favor of re-upping with CBS?

Well I wish the CBS fellow hadn't made the unfortunate comments in the post previous to this one, but I'm fine with reupping with CBS.

Out of curiosity can anyone look up the history of the league?  I know I started this thing with old spreadsheets and manually looking up stats in USA Today's Baseball Weekly rag.  I know we wont have any history going that far back because I didn't save it digitally.  This is what I did dig up from our Football History on the Bears board.  I know we did Baseball before Football...

*************************************/**********************************************************

Wow.  I just looked at this on CBS.  We have a little tradition.  I had to add Fantasy bowl 1, 2, and 3 winners because we were not using CBS back then...

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
 
2016 - Downward Legion
2015 - Packer Smackers
2014 - Pekin Dragons
2013 - BASTARDS
2012 - BASTARDS
2011 - Hog Butchers
2010 - Apache Renegades
2009 - BearFans Buzzards
2008 - Hog Butchers
2007 - Gamunu United
2006 - Gerbschmidt
2005 - Lavender Flamingos
2004 - Lavender Flamingos
2003 - Bills Bombers
2002 - The 54s
2001 - Payton's Place
2000 - Team Old Style
1999 - Buff's Stuff

We have been playing this league almost 20 years.

The 6 OG's:
Bill's Bombers
Team Old Style
BASTARDS (AALWAYS original name)
Payton's Place
Pekin Dragons
Hog Butchers (I don't know if he should be included since he quit during the first ever draft and then  rejoined later in the draft)  ;)

Hell we have owners now that were not even alive when the league originated.

Downward Legion is trying to be the third team to ever repeat.  We have not had a threepeat.

Not one team has more than 2 championships.

That appears to be intended for the Bears board and football fantasy.  Perhaps needs to be moved.
