CLASSIC QUOTES
"Isn't that nice that Dale won a week" Mona Sakaba (Ibrahim) This was year one of FFL.
The Commish was dead last after 5 weeks. He won 2 consecutive weeks to start his comeback
to win the league in the strike year (1986). A monster was born.
" What is he going to do, kick PATs?"- Mr. Duval- He has many notable quotes
(re:Morten Anderson, prior to the year Anderson kicked 8 FGs of over 50 yards)
"Thanks Dale, for leaving us all of the good quarterbacks" John Mallett, Chris Duval,
prior to my best year.
"He'll be a good decoy" Mr. Duval, prior to Jake Reed's best season ever
"The best team I ever drafted" Commish, prior to finishing 3rd with 10
free agent pickups.
"Joe Howard, Wide Receiver for the Redskins" John Ellison at his first draft ever.
"Honey, let me take the cell phone to Coors Field tonight" John Mallett prior to leaving
home on the night of the 1997 draft. He spent a fortune on cell phone calls and
finished last.
"He's no Fred Lane" Guess who
*** JINXES ***
Mike Sherrard- The Commish had him 3 different years. He suffered season ending injuries
all 3 years in his first game activated, including once when Sherrard caught an over
the midldle pass, broke free, and pulled up at the 10 (58 yards downfield) with a BROKEN leg.
Jeff George- The Commishs' team always falls apart when he drafts Mr. George. Jim MIlls is
now under orders to inflict severe damage underneath the table upon the commish should he
EVER utter the words "Jeff George" at a draft
AND......
THE most famous jinx of all time-
The DREADED NHL FANTASY LEAGUE jinx. In 1994, after 8 weeks, Jimmy was dominating the
league with 42 out of 56 wins and had a 12 wins lead. The ever wise-cracking Commish declared
"Let's start an NHL Fantasy League. This one is over."
.... Five weeks later, the commish had a 6 point league and Jimmy had get 2 seconds in the last
3 weeks to move up from 3rd to 2nd.
Two years later, after 11 weeks, Perez has just won the league 3 consecutive weeks and had a 14
win lead with 82 of 99 possible wins. The Commish declared another NHL jinx. Mallett promptly
outscored Perez 35-17 over the next 5 weeks to win the season by one victory.
