Can you believe that the TTMFFL has lasted 40 years?!

I didn't see that when I started looking in the crystal ball.

For those of you who like spoilers, here is what will happen during 40th TTMFFL season before we binge (?) watch it a week at

a time. I got this straight from Pigskinisis, who I ran into on the golf course, which explains a lot about my golf game.

First of all, he said that Morbus, Fiction, and the Steelkings would be the division winners. I almost stopped him right there as

I assumed he was just yanking my chain. But he was serious, saying that he loved Love this year, Marvin Harrison was the

second coming of his father, and Josh Allen was enough to win that division all by himself. So I asked him who else was going

to the playoffs. He said the Prosecutors, Knights, and Coyotes. Well, you can imagine my skepticism, but I thanked him for

the information and hit my next (errant) shot as his laughter faded into the ether. When I got home, I pulled out the crystal ball

to see if it agreed with Pigskinisis or not. It was pretty murky in there, but darned if it didn't at least agree in principal.

Apparently Purdy, Kyren Williams, and Amon-Ra is a good foundation for winning games in our league. DeShaun Watson(!) to

JaMarr Chase with Aubrey making like Justin Tucker works for the Coyotes, and it turns out Stroud and Nacua weren't flukes

last year. The Knights had to fend off Hurts and the Wolf Pack to claim their spot. Also losing out on the tiebreakers are the

Grid Rats and Vikaneers.

Week 15, and the #3 seeded Morbus host the #6 seeded Vikaneers. Montgomery scored a TD that put both the Lions and

Morbus over the top. Rachaad White and Barkley stepped up for the Knights as they bested the Prosecutors. Deebo was

stopped on a run at the 2 yard line which would have made it a nail biter. In Toilet Bowl action, the #10 Band and #11 NWO

faced off both in the NFL and in the TTMFFL. Mahomes threw a TD to Kelce, giving both teams points, and Murray threw one to

McBride giving both teams points. In the end, Koo outscored Fairbairn to give the Band the victory. Meanwhile, the 9 seeded

Pack has a close call against the 12 seed Mints. Caleb Williams is no longer a rookie and his strike to Kupp gives them a lead

which lasts until yet another tush push clinches the win for the Pack.

Week 16, a wicked hot one, dawns on the #7 Rats facing the Band while the #8 Vikaneers take on the red-hot Pack. The Rats

get 12 from Prescott and Lamb, but Mahomes to Mitchell leads the big parade for the Band. The Vikaneers Minnesotans roll

over the Pack's Floridians to set up a White division showdown for the porcelain pigskin prize. In Fatasy Bowl competition, the

#1 Steelkings face Blue Division rivals the Knights and their stellar running game. Barkley and Walker provide most of the fire-

power for the Knights, but Allen to Dell and Pickens proves to be the difference. On the other side of the bracket, #2 Fiction

and Morbus meet in a rematch of fantasy bowl XXXVIII. This time, the Morbutii behind Hill and Laporta are victorious. Kittle and

McCaffrey contributed 18 points in the fictional loss. The Coyotes and Prosecutors met to decide 5th place. Ladd freakin'

McConkey provided the Coyotes with the deciding points. (Who else starts him?) The Pros are reminded that fame is fleeting.

And, in the all-important fight to stay out of the basement, the Mints put up another valiant effort, but can't hang with the Order

for the full 60 minutes. Colts fans are happy to see Johnny T score a pair to lead the way to a New World.

Championship week, rainy with a hint of winter in the air. K C and the EZ boys await the onslaught of the marauders of the

north. The Vikaneers strike Swift-ly, Brown does for them, and they top it off with Olave oil. The Band is led by the brothers

Gibbs, get a couple of FGs which is Koo, but eventually Bowers down to the Vikaneers.

The coup de gras, which you who are still reading have been waiting for, is Fantasy Bowl XL. This one was the toughest to

predict due to the level of smack talk between the two participants. It was entertaining stuff, however. In game action, Morbus

gets two TDs from the Reed-Love connection while the Steelkings fought back with Bijan and Etienne finding the end zone.

After the dust settled, the Steelkings found themselves in the familiar position of runners-up and Morbus was celebrating their

third ascent to the pinnacle of fantasy footballdom.

I find myself, maybe more than ever, feeling the need to caution you, dear readers, against trying to duplicate this feat on

your own. This is a dangerous and possibly life-threatening endeavor that is best attempted with the support of a group of

experienced pigskin prognosticators. I don't need to remind you that the potential fallout from failed future fortune-telling can be

hazardous to the health of you and those around you.

My eyes and my brain are tired from the exertion, so I am going to go to sleep and dream about my latest 3rd place finish…

in the Toilet Bowl. The Vikaneers are on the clock for their draft slot.
