I have entered in the 2009 Draft order, including the draft pick trades made from last season. You can find the draft report at: REPORTS>>LEAGUE>>DRAFT from the top menu. As always – review for any glaring errors.

The 2009 TBFL Draft takes place Sunday September 6, 2009 at Noon EST
The Franchise Player Deadline is Sunday August 30, 2009 at 9pm EST

Link to the Potential Franchise Player list at the TBFL Blog is here.

Officially 2 Months and 10 days till the Franchise Player Deadline – remember you can check the potential list that I have posted here.

I have officially gotten either verbal/written/or cash verification from all owners except Marauders (You reading this TP?) that they are returning this year.  Everyone be sure to bombard Tod with emails encouraging him to return so we can bring back all twelve teams for the first time in league history….

I am working on the 2009 Rulebook Re-Write – look for some message board posts real soon to clarify some changes we proposed last year but never completely ironed out….

No Arena League this year has left my entire Spring and Early Summer a vast wasteland of football anticipation and I am hungrier than ever to get the season started….

Hope you guys are as geeked as I am

In the early years I did not understand the importance of vector images…my apologies…

Special thanks to CBUS and the 2007 NHL Draft…

Yes it’s that time of year again when the Commish climbs out of his Spring hibernation and into the empty offices of the TBFL headquarters.  In only 95 days, these offices will be bustling with runners taking phone calls, rushing out press releases, and providing the international media with pick by pick updates as the 2009 TBFL Draft takes place.  Our twelth season is already looking to be a good one as teams get their first chance at taking advantage of rule changes that allowed the trading of future picks last year.  I’ve already got confirmed returns from half of the league owners, and even have new additions to the waiting list before we even post the 2009 site.
