TTR - Editor's Note

There are commitments that society dictates men adhere to without question or complaining; wives, children, jobs, regular prostate exams. Your commitment to this league is your silent rebellion against the boring day in day out shuffle, rising up and demanding our God given right to have a man outlet that we can secretly add to our upper echelon of priorities without our wives knowledge. 

If you read this manifesto with little interest or disdain nor have the desire for a year round man club, then this is not the league for you. Tuck your balls into your man-gina, grab a box of man-pons and feel free to join a $5 league in your local office pool. Don't waste our time. 

Bylaw 1- "The Reason" 

What was and shall be the primary reason for creating this league was to have the opportunity to have an annual no questions asked by the spouses Vegas Trip. All drafts are here-forth set in Las Vegas. The reigning champion shall dictate the actual draft details i.e. time, location within Las Vegas borders, attire, drinking rules/selection etc. If you don't like Vegas with 11 bros, don't be a part of this league. Trip budgets will be determined by April 1st and collected by commissioner(s) no later than June 1st to secure league spot for that year. NO EXCEPTIONS, NO I.O.U's. Any cancellations must be submitted in writing posted on the league LINE message board for ridicule no later than August 1st. Deposits are to be returned only under circumstances of financial hardship. 

Bylaw 2- "Online Drafts Are Asinine" 

Drafts are MANDATORY physical attendance unless approved by both Commissioners with consideration for absence ONLY under the following acceptable conditions. 

• You are incarcerated. A proxy will be allowed but must be present at the draft. Felonies will warrant your dismissal from the league with no refunds. 

• You are in a medically diagnosed coma where therein you are allowed a pre approved proxy to run your draft who IS required to be present. Nephews and wives are not allowed. 

• Any and all absences not sanctioned will immediately terminate manager from the league and/or forfeiture of monies given prior to the draft which will be used for liquid consumption by the entire league. 

Bylaw 3- "Bromance" 

Thou shalt create bonds with thy fellow man. You may not know everyone but by the end of an epic draft and a full season you will have 11 new men to call your bros. Managers are required to have made weekly attempts to shame members of the league and especially weekly opponents with verbal ridicule, insinuating photos of comical debauchery, and constant reminders of waiver errors, draft decisions, and 0.6 losses. If you're skills need improvement watch all seasons of The League prior to season starting. 

Bylaw 4 - "It's only money" 

A ManChild holds the value of League Champion Title over prize money. A ManChild cares only for the opportunity of a much needed excuse or scheduled opportunity to bond with his fellow man. If the league deems you are only an opportunistic greedy money whore and have zero cohesion with the league you will be subsequently disinvited the following year. 

Bylaw 5 - "Hall Pass" 

If you opt out of the league for financial hardships for one season, you will have waiting list priority for one calendar year if there is an opening the following year. Co-managed teams will only be allowed with a unanimous vote by the league. 

Bylaw 6 - "Don't Be No Bitch" 

(6.1) Thou shall not be a fantasy bitch. It is expected and encouraged to relish in every victory with no censorship or cap in any forum used to celebrate. On the same note, managers are expected to take defeats like a man. Whining, excuses, and tantrums will consequently get your team renamed IMA MAN-GINA for the remainder of the year. Under no circumstances shall a member of this league take part in any form of rage quitting, message board silence or abandonment of participation. 

(6.2) No manner of bitching or opinion shall be submitted to Commissioners through private means unless the content contains subject matter benefiting the league as a whole. No statements of generalization of league opinions can be made unless supported by a poll and voted on by managers. All potential complainers have the right to call for a vote at any time but are also subject to rants being posted publicly for the amusement of all and shall take all ball busting with the conditions of Section 6.1 being applicable pertaining to penalties for subsequent message board silence and or rage quitting. Welcome to the Thunder Dome bitches. 

Bylaw 7 - "This is not an AA meeting" 

Intoxication is expected, encouraged, and a pivotal backbone to the league itself. No transaction, draft pick, or bad decision will be reversed or forgotten because you can't handle your drink(s). This is forever known as "The Toby Gerhart" & "Reggie Bush in the 1st Round" 

Bylaw 8 - "It's my world" 

Thou shall only bring football and your inner man to the draft and league sponsored football venues. Any and all attempts to bring wives and children into a fantasy season/setting is neither healthy nor acceptable. While we support each other's home lives, it doesn't exist in the ManChild world of Fantasy Football.
