Well, the AAFL News is back after a rather hectic week. Thanks to all of you for the good wishes and nice emails regarding the birth of my twins, Madison and Sally. They are doing great and unfortunately are like thier father in that they are nightowls. This week closed out the first half of division play and there were some big performances and some close games. The Regulators put up a huge score with two big scores on the bench while the Warthogs fell to 0-3 in their division and are looking like the first candidate for the Toliet Bowl come December.-Commish Vince
15 QUESTIONS - THE WEREWOLVES
This is the first in a series to let you get to know the owners in the AAFL. Each owner will be given the following questions until we cover all the teams in the AAFL.
NEXT WEEK - DAZED AND CONFUSED
1. Your name
Dan Elliott2. Your hometown
Spent first 18 years of my life in Tappahannock, VA. Raleigh, NC has been my home for the last 11 years.3. Number of years you have played fantasy football
This is my second year playing fantasy football.4. Your favorite NFL team
Carolina Panthers5. Your favorite NFL player
I have to break this down into two categories:
Favorite player of all time: Earl Campbell
Favorite active player: Bret Favre6. Top 3 fantasy players this year
Kurt Warner
Payton Manning
Stephen Davis7. Top 3 disappointing players this year
This question is made somewhat easy due to injuries:
Fred Taylor
Terrell Davis
Mark Brunell8. Superbowl prediction
Green Bay over Miami (27 - 24 with a last minute TD drive from Favre)9. Favorite source for NFL news
ESPN.com and Rotonews10. Favorite NFL memory
Tony Dorsett's 99 yard TD run on Monday night at Minnesota.11. One thing you would change about the AAFL
I would like to see at least one additional option for starting lineups. Instead of having to start 2 RB's and 2 WR's, I would like to have the option of starting 1 RB/3 WR to reflect the pass happy offense that some teams are
running now. I do think we should have to start 1 TE.12. Why you picked your team name
Werewolves, creatures of the night. Feared by all but fearful of none.13. Biggest surprise this season
Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams14. The one fantasy player you would love to have on your team that isn't on your roster
Stephen Davis. Would solve my sometimes spotty play at the RB position.15. Any comments you want to leave
With just 1/4 of the season played, I feel that the AAFL has been a success. I just hope the last 3/4 of the season is as exciting as the first 1/4.
