Great work! Of course like any media / fantasy review guide - I head right to my team :) This will take me a few days to digest the entire guide. It will be nice and quiet at work tomorrow..... hmmmm

Also - thanks Shoeless for that mental image of Brett that is now burned into my head. This is all i will see in my head on every podcast :D :D :D

I'm amazed at all the amazing work people put in: the design/layout/editing, the team previews, the hall of fame series, just everything. Glad to be a part of this ludicrous world.

Chris just out of curiosity, where would Mitrani have slotted in (since he isnt a pantheon guy).

I haven’t placed any of the last few guys. Mainly because I have a notebook full of notes from when I started the project 3 seasons ago.

I think what I’ll do is a pair of reports next year where I release the Pantheon and then update the newest additions. Guys like Ricardo Diaz need added as well as Mitrani.

And I’d really like to go back and rank them all like I had originally.

I haven’t looked at the comparisons yet. Which makes me all the more excited to add the newbies next year as to where they fall.

Without looking, I’d probably have them in level 3.

Great stuff again guys!

You could definitely be right that we finally fall out of the playoffs this year, last year was close.

I'd pick Kevin Kerr as my personal sleeper. He reminds me a lot of Jimmy Brown, who had some nice seasons for us as a platoon player.
