It's a family affair here at the IFL.

The story of one young doctor’s lust for greatness and SICK win-at-all-costs mentality. While it began with fantasy football stardom, it ended with a disaster no one saw coming, and a monster even Dr. Herzog could not contain.

Hear me and rejoice! You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Doctor. You may think losing all these fantasy seasons is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become "Children of Jackos".

As strange as it may be for me to be posting this at 1 AM and stay up dreaming about Brady and I fist bumping our rings (once I get mine), and as weird as nine year old me was things just got a whole lot stranger.

Drew didn't have time to make us an epic photoshop creation for his team name, so I put together something crude on my phone to give a visual for the epic name.

What do the songs “Mandy,” “Somewhere in the Night,” and “Ready to Take a Chance Again” all have in common? They put you in tears with the very first note played, and then hit you where it really hurts at the end with a awe-inspiring, big finish. Similarly, the focus for my fantasy team this year will be to start out hot early on, and then save the best for the end. Additionally, through some networking experiences since my recent move to Ohio, I’ve had the opportunity to form a close friendship with Barry himself, and he graciously agreed to have the team named in his honor. He will be playing a key role in the front office, second only to myself in a 51-49% partnership. As such, the team will be known as “Barry Manilow’s Big Finishers.” They'll get ya in the end!
