History of the WarZone Fantasy Football League

The WarZone Fantasy Football League was created in 1999 by Steve Brooks. This was the second league that Mr. Brooks created. The first league that Mr. Brooks created was the GPFFL (Greater Pittsburgh Fantasy Football League). The GPFFL was created in 1995. Both the WarZone and GPFFL coexisted for 3 years from 1999 to 2001. In 2002 the best owners from the two leagues were combined to form what is now the best fantasy league on the planet, The WarZone!

 

History of the Brooksman Trophy

The Brooksman Memorial Trophy Award (usually known colloquially as the Brooksman Trophy or the Brooksman), is awarded annually to the team deemed the most outstanding in the WarZone. It was created in 1999 as the Shelbourne Drive Athletic Club Trophy and it was renamed a day later following the death of one of the commish’s brain cells!

Famous Phrases and Words created thanks to the WarZone:

Vinny Testicle Rule - Rule created that lets team GMs change their line up closer to game time because of Vinny Testeverde being injured in the final walk through before the game and the team GM could not change his line up.

Sleeper Keeper - Draft strategy that allows a GM to keep a player the following season.......said player must be picked in the 12th round or later and stay on the GMs team roster all season

Tard-o-phile - Someone who takes advantage of a Fantasy Football Tard

Tard-o-phile Lair - Creepy home of said Tard-o-phile

Trapist - The team GM who trade rapes a fellow league GM

Said Piece of Pizza - A piece of pizza purchased as part of a Big Kahuna at The Northstar (League Draft Lottery HQ) was famously thrown in on a trade offer to push the unsure offeree GM over the edge and accept the deal. 

Mourning shit pick - The art of sneaking into the funeral home bathroom to make your draft selection while mourning a loved ones passing

sCruzing - The act of knowingly trading an injured player to an unsuspecting GM

sCruzed - What happens to the GM who unknowingly accepts the trade of said injured player

Kicking your sister - This gem was texted to me during week 1 of the 2022 season when referencing a tie game - "A tire is like kicking your sister"

The Bachelorette - Thinking that you are in love with a man on the waiver wire - picking him up and then immediately dropping him.  To the surprise of no one!

Liar's Remorse - The tactic of claiming players off the waiver wire on game day morning and then immediately dropping them so no other team can claim and use them in their lineup.
 

Liar Liar Commish's Phone on Fire - The fallout of the Liar's Remorse tactic - The commish's phone blows up with text messages because of the Liar's Remorse tactic asking the commish to override the 24 hour waiver period rule and push a transaction through. Which the commish will gladly do!

 

Disclaimer - The WarZone League CEO is not responsible for the foul language you will spew forth or revenge plots that you hatch as a result of Snake-N-Jake's incessant and ridiculous trade offers. You have been warned. You can change your cell number or user burner phones.
