Rivalry Games


Along with a new league comes great rivalries in the making. Most managers have known each other for a long time while others are still getting to know one another. It will be exciting to see how these rivalries unfold throughout the season. Rivalries are as follows (In no particular order):

1. The Real McCoy vs Brax To Da Max

This rivalry has been shaping up for years as these two were roommates in college for 4 years. Brian Johnson, manager of The Real McCoy has been known to fly under the radar as far as smack talk. However, Brax To Da Max brings the smack talk out of this "untalkative" manager whether it be in football, basketball, or a friendly debate. Manager Demetrius "Train" Hill never backs down from a challenge and is well known for his smack talk. You can be sure that these two managers will go back and forth all season long as both are competitive and ask a lot out of their respective teams.

2. Gothams Reckoning vs Tesus Crusades

Similar to the above rivalry, these two managers have been roommates in the past. While both managers respect one another to death, things can often get heated between the two. Neither manager is afraid to say how they feel and that should bring out the best of them in this rivalry. Both have been successful managers in past leagues and have competed against one another in fantasy football before. Look for both managers to try to become dominant over the other as this year unfolds.

3. Perpetual Dynasty vs El Pollo Loco

These two managers have gotten to know one another while being colleagues at work. They both "know there stuff" and have yet to face one another in a fantasy league. Manager Steven Miller is known to be a dominate fantasy football manager, but you can be sure that Josh isn't going to give anything away. This is one of the more intriguing rivalries as people don't know what to expect.

4. ShowMeYour TDs vs Beaus N Hoes

Again, these two managers have lived with one another. They have also competed against each other in fantasy before. These managers know how to get under each other's skin, and look for both of them to exploit that during this season. Manager "Bo" is one with immense knowledge of the NFL but others shouldn't disregard Zach when it comes to fantasy knowledge either.

5. La Flama Blanca vs aTeamToBeNamedLater (Note: Not actual name)

This is another interesting rivalry as these two have gotten to know one another through trips to Pirate baseball games. These trips have started to brew a rivalry that has much room to grow. As one of the more unfamiliar rivalries, these two managers should be active in smack talk so the other rivalries don't overshine them.
