The Renegade Fantasy Football owners meet on Saturday September 4th to start the draft for the coming football season, which will start this Thursday September 8th.

The owners also had some old business to conclude from the previous season.

The most important one was the awards ceremony, in which the owners get to take the trophies for their teams accomplishments for the previous year 2004.

The Super Bowl winner for the year 2004 was the team Eagles Wing.

Eagles Wing beat the Cruisers owned by Mr. Ravanis to take the Big trophy.

The owner of Eagles Wing Orlando Morais accepted the trophy and was excited for his team. Eagles Wing got knocked off the play-offs last year by Mr. Carl DeVito owner of the Crusaders, and in the year 2002 finished last and was awarded the Toilet Bowl trophy.

The draft started around 10:30am and went very well, all the owners had to learn some new rules for the 2005 draft, as the League became a keeper League for the first time since it started, this meant each owner could keep up to three players form last years roster.

After everyone got their paper work ready and got their favorite snack and beverage, the first round started with a time limit of 2:00 minutes per pick for the first 10 rounds. Later rounds the time limit was 1:00 minute per pick for a total of 18 rounds.

I think everyone came out of the draft thinking their team would be the one that would take the Big trophy for the year 2005. One of the teams to watch for this year I believe is Ragen Cagens owned by Mark Newton, which in my opinion improved his team the most from the previous season.

Sleeper player of the draft was Ryan Moats a rookie running back, which might be a surprise to all this year.

I wish every one success and let the games begin.
