Some other takeaways:

  - RodnRoln might need to add a 3rd Co-Owner/General Manager (Hahahahaha!!!!)
  - The Stewie Griffins were this year's Buffalo Bills/Virginia Tech of the League (Great Start, 

       Bad Finish).  Started 5-0, Finished 2-6;  7-6 Overall 

  - Possibly allowing Draft Day Trades

  - Possibly reserve The Green Turtle for next year's draft party again

  - Possibly adding a Survivor's Pool or Pick 'Em League for $10/$20 Winner Take All
  - Drafting a QB first overall might not be so bad

  - Weather can hurt you sometimes

  - It's all about the NFL team match-ups

  - Remember that Team DEF includes points from Special Teams TDs (e.g. Devin Hester)

  - NEED TO VOTE ON CERTAIN RULES FOR THE LEAGUE!!!!!
