WHAT: Facility Services Management

WHEN: 46 years old, married, 1, 9 year old daughter who is a huge Peyton Manning Fan! ( Yes I said 9 year old, I know , I know, got a late start!)

WHERE: Indiana

Who: Judge Smales

What: Engineer for one of the big 2 1/2 US car companies

When: 36, married, 2 little sports fans; 7 and 4

Where: Detroit area, unfortunately still a Lion's fan

Why: This is the best FFB site around by far. I think I've tried most of the other pay sites and this one has the best info and insight on the message bords, just wish I had more time to spend on the boards.

Bio: just finished my 10th season in fant football, 2-2 in the big games for my main league. Up to 2 leagues a season consistently, most I've done is 4. Started in fantasy baseball in the early 90's, baseball takes WAY TOO MUCH TIME. Commish my main league with same core of 10 guys for the last 5 years, always seem to have a couple of floaters to fill-up the 12 teams.

Man - rough industry right now. I'm very thankful that I'm not in automotive at the moment. Hopefully your position is safe as I know several folks who will be out of a job soon.

 

Come around more often - we need as much support on these boards as possible.

Who: BYoder (Yeah, I'm original. It's my first initial and my last name.)

 

What: I'm an accountant for a very small public accounting firm

 

When: Born March 23, 1981....currently 24 years old

 

Where: Ohio, just west of Columbus and a Bengals fan

 

Why: Because this is the best fantasy football site around. Not that I've been to the other sites, but when you know you have found the best there is no reason to keep looking.

 

Bio: Been playing FF since 1999 when my uncle' league needed a last minute replacement for his keeper league. I found The Huddle later in the season (I think it was free back then) and have been using the main site ever since. I found the message boards earlier this season and decided to give them a try.

Welcome Byoder. Can never have to many :D's around. We have several accountants around (myself, Cap'n Grunge, Nogohawk, TimC, Yo Mama (tax attorney I believe)).

 

I won't hold it against you that you are from Columbus and probably a Buckeye fan. :D

Cool.  If we have a rocket scientist on board, please come visit the Tailgate.  We could use the boost in average IQ over there  :D

You'd never know how many pieces of toilet paper the average Huddler uses if it weren't for the Tailgate.

The Lions are easily a top 5 worst franchise to be a fan of. Not sure if my Texans make that list or not, maybe if you said Houston and combined the oilers and the Texans, we might make top 5

We have a penalty for making it too easy for the newbies to guess the MH. Let em struggle with the search function just like everyone else.

What: Director of a disclosed company.

When: 25

Where: Memphis, TN.

Why: Fantasy Football Junkie, looking for indepth research and talk year round from everywhere, day and night.

Fantasy Bio: Been playing FF for 8 yrs, Top 3 every year. I have been out of the top 3 twice. Had to many leagues that yr both yrs. Other than that been 3rd twice. Rest of the leagues won all the championships (17). 5 times came second place finishes. This yr was the roughest. Came in 2nd place 4 times this yr. One 3rd place finish. And one championship this yr. But you learn from your losses. At least I do. So its great to see so many people like me. I shall be a great contributor to the board.

 

Person that brought me hear. Ziachild07 (Z) or Houston Hotpeppers. Glad he brought me hear I am in LOVE with this site!

 

Oh and if you wondering why Prodigy. Because I am not just a Prodigy on the fantasy sports level. But also in the workplace. Age ain't nothing but a number. And how many people u know run multi-billion dollar Companies budgets and all.
