Fantasy football franchise owners....do I have something for you!

After years of playing fantasy football myself, I have learned the single most agonizing aspect
of the game.  That would be preparing for the draft!  After long hard hours of reviewing stats
and buying the up to date cheat sheet magazines, I still invariably would miss someone that I
should have picked.  Why?  Usually because after round 5 or 6, I either forgot this player or
my cheat sheets didn't go deep enough.  So I began to fork out big money to get "well
prepared" cheat sheets.  Of course none of these actually fit the scoring my league used or
compared every position.  And I still ended up finishing second of third because I missed a
key draft.  So I began to compile stats of all the offensive players in the league.  This way I
could sort the stats as I saw fit.  And since then I've won 9 leagues in two years. I know you
are saying only the offensive players?  Well my first year in doing this, I just didn't have the
time to do every player in the NFL so I just went with offensive players.  To my wonderful
surprise I realized a couple amazing facts.

          1. Leagues that let you pick an entire team as defense and special teams.
               ***The difference between the number one team and number last
               wasn't  big at all.  Was it really worth taking a defensive team in the
               10th round when I only gained 2.3 points per game over a pick in the
               last round?  What was actually happening was that I was losing a
               potential offensive scorer. (Where there happen to be second strings,
               there are no second string teams)

          2.Leagues that let you pick individual players from defenses.
               ***WOW! What a waste of time.  Good quality picking will only gain
               you somewhere between 20 and 40 points a year!  Is that worth putting
               off a first string full back? No way!

I won three leagues that year and my last picks were defenses and, here's a surprise for most,
kickers.  Kickers, as long as you get a first stringer, won't vary much between number one
and number last either.  

But back to what I have for you.  I have 1994's stats for all offensive players in dbase 2
form, and willing to give them all to you for only $5.00.  Don't stop reading, I'm not done yet
I am also willing to sort these anyway your league scores.  Just write me a description of
how your league scores.  I'll also give you a list by each position.  These lists will include
every player from 1994, sorted exactly how your league scores.  All you have to do is send
me a description of how your league scores, a $5.00 check, and your E-Mail address.  All
requests will be E-Mailed within 24 hours of reception.  

So stop trusting someone elses cheat sheets and start making your own. And in the mean time
START WINNING!
