The Reckoning Journey, A Manager to be Feared and Respected

   Many managers around the MFFL know The Reckoning as one of the best managers in the league. Their beliefs are reinforced by a 2nd place finish last season and his never ending work ethic. His aggressive managerial style has been a lighting rod for excitement, controversy, and most importantly team success. But what most people do not know is the story of this manager's humble beginnings, and why his past indicates you should be even more nervous about his potential.
      In 2009, The reckoning was invited to join the prestigious FFFL. It was the crowning achievement in his fantasy football resume. He join a stellar field of highly respected managers. He finally had the chance to test his skills against the best in the world. The new attention focused towards his managerial skills pushed him to the edge, and he ultimately failed. His team endured a (2-12) record in his first season, followed by a (4-10) record in 2010. The first two seasons in the FFFL nearly broke him as a manager. He questioned everything, even his ability to play the fantasy game altogether. But when his chips were down, he showed his true colors. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes he continued to dedicate himself. He never faltered. In 2011 he finished (7-7). His hard work was beginning to pay off, and just when he saw a winning season on the horizon, he was dealt a killer blow; his 3 year stint in the Fisher league was quickly coming to an end.
    The relationship between himself and the other managers of the FFFL had soured and he knew he could not have fun while maintaining a managerial position under Commissioner Fisher, so he resigned. He was once again cast into darkness. His fantasy football career seemed to be finished. He had no where to turn. But just when all hope was almost lost he received a call. It was the current commissioner of the MFFL. Commish explained to Reckoning that he had been watching him from a far for quite some time. He was extremely impressed with Reckoning's work ethic and improving success. Reckoning was offered a position, in the soon to be Prestigious MFFL, on the spot. Reckoning had new life. He accepted the invitation immediately and began to prepare. But he had changed as a manager. He had been to the brink and stared the devil in the face. Gone were the days of fear, pressure, and second guessing. He no longer feared anything, he was pure confidence. His confidence translated to immediate success in the MFFL. He started (7-0) in 2012, and finished in 2nd place. He had finally reached the top.
    Now that Reckoning has earned his respect and has seen the riches of success, he has no plans of returning to his dark ages. He is perpetually haunted by his FFFL career. It drives, molds him, and guides him. He may present the image of constantly having a chip on his shoulder, well its true, he does have a chip on his shoulder. His (2-12) season will continually be perched directly on his shoulder, reminding him of where he has been, and what it takes to get to where he wants to go. It is for this reason that you should fear Reckoning even more. When someone has hit rock bottom, and gotten back up, you must fear them. He will never go back to the way he was, ever. The Reckoning holds the 9th pick in the upcoming MFFL draft in September. It is another difficult test for him. Know this though, he will be prepared.
