This season we're going to stick with the blog News & Notes format that we've used with some success these past few seasons. So whenever the mood strikes, be it stats night on Wednesday, the middle of the 4PM game on Sunday, or maybe even a Thursday morning before I leave for work, I'll come here and post entries. Sometimes it will be a paragraph or two, sometimes longer.

I'll make sure I put a date on everything so you can easily tell what's new from what you may have already read. So feel free to come to this page often, or continue checking in once a week as the stats update, to check out and catch up on the latest entries in what I hope to be a season long "All My Rowdy" blog.

If anyone else has anything to contribute, I'll be more than happy to post it here, with all credit given to the author of course. And if we get one of our infamous 20+ reply e-mail threads going, I may also opt to copy that into this space as well so it's saved for all posterity.

Congratulations to Bo Knows The Reaper on winning this season's Rowdy Friends Championship and setting a new league record for most wins in a season! The only blemish on what could've been a perfect season was back in Week 9 when Bo Knows lost to Like Hell 33 - 28 in a week when they dropped the Raven's RB LeRon McLain to pick up the Dolphins Ricky Williams. Well as fate would have it (or someone else perhaps, they were playing Like Hell after all) McLain scored that week and Williams didn't. Had they gotten those 6 points that would've been a victory. And the rest as they say, is history...

Did someone say "history"? Well history indeed is being made as for the first time I've chosen to publish not one, but two Sports Illustrated covers! One each for Charlie and Joe, in honor of their 4th Rowdy Friends title and record breaking season. Think of them as "collectors editions". Print them out and save them for your kids. You never know, they may be worth something someday...

Thank you all for yet another fantastic season amongst all my rowdy friends. I look forward to the next one, which will mark our 19th year in existence. But who's counting?
