2025Manager
vannweinkauf — Inaugural Champion
Took Josh Diddy's Roster to 17–4 and the league's first title, then watched the final from the top of every record list. The standard everyone else is chasing.
2025Trade
The Fox Blockbuster
Week 4: Huff n' Puff sent Onyeka Okongwu, Naji Marshall, Keon Ellis and a 2026 1st to QBs Gremlins for De'Aaron Fox — four players and two picks, the biggest deal in league history.
2025Trade
The Tatum Deadline
Week 21: with the title in sight, Josh Diddy's Roster paid RJ Barrett plus 2026 and 2027 firsts for Jayson Tatum. The rich got richer — and then won it all.
2025Moment
1.5 Points
Semifinal, 2025: papichooter edged Reaves Dropper 275.0–273.5 — the slimmest margin of the playoffs — then ran into a buzzsaw in the final. So close to glory.
2025Moment
The Worst Season Ever
QBs Gremlins went 1–20 with 20 straight losses in 2025 — and turned the misery into the #1 pick, which became AJ Dybantsa under new manager NeuralNets. Rock bottom had a plan.
