The Poster Board Year

This is the year that started it all. Six peasants from across the United States came together as comrades to form the Cowboys Suck Fantasy Football League (CSFFL). They then taped a big poster board to the wall in the kitchen of the very house pictured here, cracked some beers, and started the inaugural 2011 season of the CSFFL. The very first draft for the greatest fantasy league ever was held in August of 2011 in the very house pictured here on Paʻahana Street in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Check the date of the street view image capture…notice Jana’s moped??

The First Four Rounds

  • The first round almost collapsed the league before it even started. This epic first round is most memorable for the first mediation in league history, and probably the first mediation in Any, Esquire’s law career. It went like this:

    • Coach Rubs wrote in the Ravens D/ST on the draft poster board while proceeding to talk about how they were the best defense in years and he was going to win the league because he drafted them

    • With the literal next pick, Commissioner Stalin picked the Eagles D/ST….remember the ‘Dream Team’ year?

    • Apparently, this was who Logan had actually wanted to pick when he picked the Ravens one pick earlier

    • Coach Rubs proceeded to demand that he get the Eagles D/ST instead of the Ravens D/ST, despite the fact that he had physically gotten up and written ‘Ravens’ himself with a permanent marker onto the draft poster board while describing in detail how the Ravens were the best defense in years

    • Ultimately, Any, Esq. settled the debate and the plaintiff, Coach Rubs, was denied his appeal for the Eagles D/ST due to his completely asinine user error

  • These first few rounds had some grade-A humans. Mike Vick AND Ray Rice? Man that’s something

  • Shout out to Peyton Hillis (this was the year he was on the cover of Madden), Greg Jennings, and Hakeem Nicks for somehow sneaking into these top few rounds of the inaugural draft

  • Peyton Hillis over Arian Foster is unbelievable

  • The last few rounds were chosen to take a look at due to the incredible names we find deep in the trenches

  • Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson was taken for the only time in CSFFL history in Round 14 by the Sneaky Greek

  • Ahmad Bradshaw. Reggie Bush. Marcedes Lewis. Austin Collie. Kellen Winslow. Lance Moore. Danny Woodhead. Amazing.

2011 Draft Awards

Best Pick: Michael Crabtree, Round 16 by the Sneaky Greek. He actually had almost 900 yards this season, so good work by the Sneaky Greek with the first ever Mr. Irrelevant

Worst Pick: Peyton Hillis, Round 2 by Commissioner Stalin. What on earth

Most Incredible Pick: Sebastian Janikowski (yes, the kicker), Round 6 by the Sneaky Greek. The two players selected after him were Matt Forte and Larry Fitzgerald, both of whom made the Pro Bowl. Incredibly, 2011 was the only year Seabass ever made the Pro Bowl in his career and was also the year he tied the then-longest field goal record of 63 yards. Zack still missed the playoffs
