The 2011 Rookie Class
(Editor’s note: before each season, we like to meet our expansion franchises. This year, we only have one new team – Bud Fox.)
Bud Fox – Bud is yet another two-person collaboration project to join the Funny Money Football League. Both of the beasts that make up this two-headed monster are well-versed and proven in the fantasy football realm. However, many are skeptical that their skills will translate to the world of Funny Money. However, their participation in the league should be kept quiet, as they are both still on probation for the Bluestar Airline incident of 1987.
Bud was turned onto the league by Mr. Marbles. In seasons past, Marbles would share his picks with Bud each week. But now play time is over and the ventriloquist dummy’s mouth will be shut.
One possible hurdle for this franchise is that one of the co-owners is expecting a baby in December, which is sure to be a distraction. Rumor has it that if they struggle early, Bud has an “insider” named Blue Horseshoe that is sure to give them correct picks each week.
Welcome Bud. Here’s fair warning: when it’s Week 15 and your wife is upset that you’re not paying attention to your newborn because you’re analyzing why the Lions spread moved half a point on Friday, you can’t blame us. You volunteered for this. Good luck.
(special thanks to Mr. Marbles for his contributions to this post)
