2022 CincyItIsUs Fantasy Football League

And that's a wrap!!

After fourteen, hard-fought regular season games, a wild-card round, a championship series, and a finale to end all finales, our 2022 Fantasy Football season has come to a close. Unfortunately, the season ended on quite a sad note, as Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest in Cincinnati on Monday Night. The much-anticipated matchup between the Bills and the Bengals was postponed, although I think we can all agree that was for the best.

As such, Rob Battista, manager of the Bussy Boiz, has agreed wrap up the season with Seth Hood, manager of Team Hood, as the winner this year - despite the fact that the Bussy Boiz do still have one player in play (Dawson Knox of the Bills). I want to take this moment to thank Rob for being so gracious here: I know it's unlikely that Knox would have been the difference-maker, but I know you're a Bills fan and it would have been pretty nice to win 1st prize, too. I can't imagine Monday night was very fun for you. I really appreciate you being such a good sport about all this.

On the other hand, congratulations to Seth for winning the Championship this year! Seth, you've been in this league for years now. You're one of our longest tenured members. It's awesome that you finally broke through - and you've been close before! Don't spend all that money in one place (or do, because sports gambling is legal in Ohio now and you can just put in all on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl).

It's been a really fun year. I can't wait to do it again next year. Before I sign off for at least the next eight months or so, I just want to pose a few questions, so let me know in the comments your thoughts:

1. As Sully put forth earlier this year, how do we feel about getting rid of divisions?

2. Is there any interest in doing an auction draft or a league with individual defensive players?

3. Does anyone have any suggestions on other rule changes, scoring, league format, etc.?

4. Let me know if there's anything else on your mind as well! I'd love to hear more about how I can improve the league.

I created a poll below to gauge everyone's opinions, so please vote!

So, that's it. That's all I've got for you guys. It's been real. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and enjoy 2023!
