The Racingwithbruno WiththeWorks Fantasy Football league was super exciting this year, we had 12 horseplayers line up on the gridiron.
Racingwithbruno Staff and customers were among the players.
It came down Racingwithbruno and Brian Lauzurica 'Laz''.
Laz had been the best the entire season with the best record of 11-4. Racingwithbruno barely was over .500 at 8-7 but had exploded in last two games led by Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry.
Last years champion Michael's Chompers, Amy Kearns, got the consolation prize finishing third.
For the final both Racingwithbruno and Laz had to go to the bullpen as players were rested on the real gridiron. Racingwithbruno didn't have Barkley and Laz didn't have Josh Allen, but Laz found Baker Mayfield wondering about the Laz 'Under A Hold' facility and was pressed into service
Racingwithbruno made an team executive decision and used Bo Nix as his starting quarter back at the last minute and picked up Khalil Herbert when Barkley was declared/scratched.
There was one highlight we have to mention during the season, and that was how Michael's Chompers got to the semifinals, her match up was vs 5th placer Victory Circle, Mike Miakisz, our NY clocker at Saratoga.
Michael's Chompers was leading in her game by .20 points with Victory Circle's having the ball with less than two minutes to go. All he needed was his running back to get 2 yards and he wins. Baker Mayfield scrambles tosses the ball to Mike's (Victory Circle) running back, whom rambles for 5+ yards, but fumbles the ball and defense recovers. Mike is deducted 1 point and he loses on that play and is out of the playoffs. Brutal beat for Mike, while Michael's Chompers, Amy Kearns were celebrating.
Michael's Chompers is named after Michael, the sweet puppy whom went thru heart surgery in 2018, as you might remember. Michael is doing awesome and has gone on to win championships in Fantasy Football
The Racingwithbruno Fantasy Football league was a lot of fun as always congrats to everyone who took part in it.
The Podcast
We have been asked why we are no longer posting podcasts.
About a year ago, Anchor, the source of our podcasts was sold to Spotify.
Spotify dismantled Anchor, a one stop podcast producer, which Spotify is NOT, thus to build a podcast, one has to go to a number of different sources to record, edit, build and post.
Anchor was an excellent format and Spotify bought it and dismantled.
That is the reason why we haven't had a new podcast up I simply do not want to jump thru a number of hoops to produce and post.
