1998- Two weeks before this season would start, Tony Dodson and his family moved to Augusta Kansas. Since no one wanted to take over the League in Tulsa, Tony brought the league with him. That would leave very little time for Tony to work the magic that he worked just one year previously. So, Tony called his cousin Jon Pennycuff who also lived in Augusta and he and his 2 brothers agreed to play. Aldans, Kamakaze, Roadhogs, and Hot Flashes were in. But that was only half of what we needed. Then Tony remembered that Jack Kipp, who had played the previous season in Tulsa had moved to Hutchinson Kansas a few months before. Tony contacted him and he was ecstatic to still have an opportunity to be part of the building of this great league. Jack brought in his 2 brothers and his best friend who also lived in Hutchinson. Now we had Slayer, Legion Of Doom, Hardcore and Slick. We were once again a league. The league was split into the 2 Divisions, The North Division (Hutchinson) and the South Division (Augusta). The South Division agreed that they would travel to Jacks house in Hutchinson for the Draft, but they would have to travel to Augusta for the End Of The Season Party. In the middle of this season, Commissioner Tony Dodson, was wiped completely out in the Augusta Flood and lost everything including all the stats from 1997 and all of 1998 to that point. But, in the end, Tony Dodson’s Aldans would defeat Angela Pennycuff, who took over Legion Of Doom in Mid-season, in the second League Championship. The rules and the fees were the same this season as the season before.

1999- A big change happened in 1999 when we lost the Hutchinson owners. So in stepped Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage, Clarence Martinez’s Over-The-Hill, Chris Burgardt’s Touchdown CJB’s, and Mark Olenberg’s Blitz. And once again, we were a League. The league fees were dropped to $50.00 this season and not many up’s or down’s happened. The Draft was held in Augusta at Jon and Angela Pennycuff’s home. In the end of this season, Chris Burgardt’s Touchdown CJB’s would defeat Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage in the third League Championship.

2000- Big changes came again in 2000. The first being that we had our first ever expansion. We became a league of 12 teams. So in stepped the expansion teams. They were Brock Adkinson’s Dream Team, Chad Harding’s Hurricanes, Clovia Burgardt’s Clover, and Casey Dodson’s X-treme. Second, we became a scoring and performance league by adding points for yardage. The original 8 teams kept their mandatory 2 keepers in which Over-The-Hill kept Kicker Martin Gramatica. The Draft was right outside of Augusta at Chris and Clovia Burgardt’s Home. This would prove to be a very fun and exciting season. It brought with it our first league website that was run through Web TV. But just when things seemed to be going great, the castle fell. Due to a very unethical trade the week the playoffs started, which was technically legal because it was not specifically in the rules, and their was no Commissioning Committee at the time, the league started to take sides and the people started to split. The first End of the season packets came out this season and in the end Kaylynn Dodson’s Rage would defeat Clovia Burgardt’s Clover in the forth League Championship Game.

2001- After the big problems that ended the 2000 season, Commissioner Tony Dodson vowed not to start a new, but to bandage the league, revise and restructure it, and finally make it the best Fantasy Football League ever to be assembled. First, he only took back the best owners and the most ethical owners from the previous year. The majority of the owners that were left behind started a branch off league that was very generic in nature and finally folded after the 2002 season. Now that we had our base of owners, it was time to find great people who would help bring us to glory. So in came David Smith’s Barracudas, Mike Barkley’s Aeros, Scott Mariani’s Diablos, Terry Townsley’s Blitz, Tanner Rowland’s Rush, James Clendenin’s Highlanders and returning owner from 1997 Donnie Blackwell’s Stars. This restructurment would bring with it a very thorough rule book, an optional 2 keeper rule, a $75.00 entry fee, Rocky’s Picks, among many other things. But the most important thing it would bring was 12 of the best owners in the Fantasy Football World. Because of the restructurment, all the players would be thrown back into the Draft and a fresh record book would be started. The Draft was held in Wichita Kansas at James Clendenin’s home, and the first ever Draft Party took place at Raytheon Lake immediately after the Draft was over. These 12 owners were now in place to set the foundation for the greatest Fantasy Football League on the planet and they would become the “New” original 12 owners. In the end, Terry Townsley’s Blitz would defeat Brock Atkinson’s Dream Team in Paramount Bowl I.

2002- The biggest change in league history would happen this season when the league would be introduced to Fantasy Football Software. For the first time ever there would be no pouring over the stats in the Newspaper to configure scores and no more of those tedious Weekly Packets. Halfway through the 2001 season, Brain Beedle replaced Donnie Blackwell, and in 2002 we had every single owner back. The plan was working. We were becoming one of the greatest leagues on the circuit. Because things had ran so smoothly in the 2001 season, other than off season trading, no major changes were made for 2002. We did have many minor changes that would help the league become better and stronger. We were introduced to the FFL Times league newsletter, the fees went to $100.00, and we got our first ever Draft Board. The Draft was held for the first time in Andover Kansas at the Pizza Hut in their Basement room where the air-conditioning was broken. The small fan they brought down to us helped, but was far from solving the problem. In the end Tony Dodson’s Midwest Thunderstorms would defeat David Smith’s Pearl Harbor Barracudas in the Paramount Bowl II.

2003- More big changes would happen this year. First, we would expand the league again, this time to 16 teams. The expansion teams were Scott Staib’s Texas Twisters, Kim Staib’s Great Plains Fury, Kelly Rowland’s Sacramento Sirens, and previous owner from 1999 and 2000, Chris Burgardt’s Mid-Kansas Shox. We also lost 3 owners from the previous season and to fill their spots we brought in Terry McGrath’s Bora Bora Bengals, Josh Brown’s Wichita Witness, and previous owner form 2000, Clovia Burgardt’s K.S. Clover. We added Decimal Scoring this season, our first Rookie Draft, we went from helmets to Logo’s to represent our teams, and we had our first Owners Meeting during the off season. Many changes came this season, all of which once again made the league better and stronger. We started a New Public Website and joined the International Rankings. The Barracudas would set the record for the best record in league history with a 15-1and the Bengals would set the record for the worst record in history with a 2-11. The Twisters would possibly pull off the biggest mistake in legaue history when he had no QB playing in his Conference Championship Game. The Draft was once again at Pizza Hut in Andover. In the end David Smith’s Pearl Harbor Barracudas would return to the Championship game for the second season in a row, this time to win and defeat Tanner Rowland’s Chicago Rush in the Paramount Bowl III.

2004- Once again, more big changes happened in the 2004 season. We would change our name from The Fantasy Football League to the Professional Football Federation. We would lose three owners and would replace them with one of the best rookie classes ever. They would be Matt Carney’s Great Plains Fury, Tim Bishop’s College Hill Miners and Ron Meskie’s South Central Bandits. One of the major changes this season would be adding one point per reception for WR’s and TE’s. About a week after the Owners Meeting, the league would find it’s self in a uproar about the one point per reception rule. Some in the League felt that there needed to be a vote to re-vote whether RB’s should get the point also. In the end the Commissioning Committee voted not to re-vote. We also added this season for DF/ST to get one point for every 25 yards in return yards on Punt returns and kick returns. The Draft this season would be held at Double D’s Restaurant in Augusta KS in their Banquet room. The Draft was a great one. Then came the season. Dream Team finished with the best record in the league and the second best of all time with a 11-2 while the Clover set a new record for the worst season ever with a 1-12. Clover one week one and never won again. With the high scores this season many records were broke. One of the most impressive was the Chicago Rush. The Rush made it all the way through the season and the post season scoring over 100 points. This was a very impressive feat. Rush became the third team in league history to make back to back league championship games and in the end would finish this season as League Champion and the winner of Paramount Bowl IV. He would defeat the Barracudas in this one, and finally have the glory of being the best team in the Professional Football Federation.

2005- Just as all the previous years before, the 2005 season came with it’s ups and downs and it’s highlights and lowlights. We had our draft at Mascio’s in Augusta KS. It was warm, but they had a nice room for us and good food. A couple of owners came with a little Buzz, and were not to happy with the Commish when he sent out a letter showing his disappointment in the way the Draft turned out. This year we would welcome in 4 new owners. They were Jason Mayer and his South Central Screamin’ Eagles, Ronnie Blackwell and his Mile High Broncos, Nick Brown and his St. Louis Savages, and Nick Brown and his East Leon Mercenaries. All 4 owners would prove to be strong contenders in the season. This season, we lowered the Weekly Winner to .00 which gave more money to the Playoff Teams. For the First time in League History the Paramount Bowl paid out .00 including a Championship Ring. One of the big changes this season was we added consolation games for teams that lost out of the Playoffs and Toilet Bowl Tournament. Doing so, every team played all 16 weeks. It was a lot of fun. We also added fines for the first time ever for owners that play players on Bye Weeks or that are hurt. One of the good stories from this season , was the Bora Bora Bengals. After winning only 7 games in the past 2 seasons, this team started out 0-4, then 1-5. All this before going on a 9 game winning streak to make it all the way to Paramount Bowl V. In that Paramount Bowl, the Great Plains Fury, with their owner, Matt Carney, won it all in just their second season with the PFF and became League Champion. Rage, who had the longest playoff appearance streak going with 6 years, missed them for the first time ever. The current longest streak is now held by the Rush who have made it 5 times in a row. The Outlaws miss the Playoffs again, now for the 6^th consecutive seasons. On of the biggest losses for the league came with the announcement from 2003 League Champion and owner of his Pearl Harbor Barracudas that he would retire after this season. For the next 9 months the Great Plains Fury will be able to enjoy his Championship before he has to start defending it from the 15 other owners that live and die to someday be Champions of the PFF!
