I needed another fantasy sports team like I need a sharp rock in my shoe when running a marathon, but here I am taking the reigns of a new Fantasy Basketball franchise in the newly formed league, The Library. Allow me to introduce the newest franchise of mine from the sport of NBA basketball: Flat Soda Bombers
Yep, you might think does this have anything to do with my library? You bet! This league is made up from employees in the library including myself, Benjamin the library clerk, Heidi and Ryan (league commish) from the IT department, Dan and son Mason (English Dept), Nate (World Languages), Brian (Social Studies) and someone who I think is Ryan's friend.
Confession: since the Jordan era, I can probably name about as many players as I have fingers and toes. I can pronounce even fewer of them, and that last item (about names), only shows my own cultural ignorance. I have really come to lean on saying, "that guy from Milwaukee." Anyhow, we did a live draft and I actually drafted this team shown below. I feel like it is a good collection of players, but the first week didn't go so well. The Bombers dropped the first week to a team named by my youngest daughter (14 yrs) for Heidi a self proclaimed team owner who only joined because we couldn't find anyone else to even the league out and has no idea who she drafted. Yeah, the Flat Soda Bombers lost to them. That feels real good. Oh, their name you ask? 67 Dino Nuggets (of course!). Anyone who has a teen in the house or works in a middle or high school can appreciate that name. Well, here is the Flat Soda Bombers.
Week 1: Flat Soda Bombers vs. 67 Dino Nuggets 5-8-1"Flat Soda is a Good Description of Week 1" (5th in League)
Week 2: Flat Soda Bombers (5-8-1) vs. Forum Blue and Gold ( 9-4-1) 3-10 "The Bombers Forgot the Season Started" (6th in League)
Week 3: Flat Soda Bombers (8-18-2) vs. Mello Ballerz (6-21-1)
