The Lords of the Valley are off to a commanding 3-1 start, sending shockwaves through BAFFL. Nestled in the most remote and inaccessible corner of the league, teams dread making the arduous journey to The Valley. With a population so small the town isn’t even on Google Maps, opponents have to travel hours through winding backroads and sparse cell service, only to find themselves playing in a stadium that looks more like a high school field.
Word is spreading that the travel alone is enough to tilt games in The Lords’ favor. Several teams have already raised complaints, arguing that fatigue sets in before they even take the field. One source said “I’m done. The fried chicken at Finnigan’s Roadhouse is starting to taste like goose meat”. Whether it’s the isolation or just plain intimidation, it’s clear The Lords have a built-in home-field advantage few can counter.
But it’s not just the geography of The Valley that’s causing a stir. The GM of The Lords of the Valley, a notorious figure who seems to be riding a perpetual high horse, has made his presence known (like always), offering unsolicited start/sit advice to his fellow managers like he’s the messiah of fantasy football. And let’s not forget his ever-frequent appearances in the BAFFL group chat, where he’s dunking on his opponents after or during every victory, from backhanded compliments to full-on roasting sessions. His arrogance is starting to rub many the wrong way, while giving others the giggles. For the GM’s who let his antics rattle their cage, it’s only growing worse with each win.
But here’s the kicker: a leaked document has surfaced, revealing that the GM didn’t even draft his own team. That’s right—the GM, who couldn’t be bothered to attend the draft himself, sent a delegate instead. And what’s more shocking is that he provided a single name for the draft: **Travis Kelce**. For the rest of the draft? Well, really only rounds 2 and 3, he gave vague suggestions, like “grab a solid RB” or “look for value,” without even naming a player. Yet somehow, his team has emerged as one of the strongest contenders in the league.
Sources close to the situation say that league members are growing tired of the GM’s antics, from his holier-than-thou attitude to his constant dunking on fellow managers in the chat. “It’s like he’s not even trying, and yet he’s winning,” one anonymous manager complained. “He didn’t draft his team! He just shows up after the fact, takes credit, and acts like he’s a genius.” What’s making matters even worse is that while one of his keepers, Deebo Samuel, has been “Out” several weeks, he didn’t bother moving to the IR to fill his roster. Makes no difference to The Lords, who keep winning and dunkin’ in the chat.
As rumors of discontent swirl, it’s becoming clear that the GM’s antics might be wearing thin. Some league members are starting to wonder if The Lords’ success is more a product of luck—or that brutal travel to The Valley—than actual managerial skill. Whatever the case, the GM seems unfazed by the criticism, continuing to revel in his team’s early dominance and troll anyone who dares question him.
With the rest of the season ahead, the real question is: how long will the Lords of the Valley’s luck—or arrogance—last? One thing is for sure, though: the league is watching, and many are hoping for the day they get to knock The Lords off their high horse. Until then, every journey to The Valley will remain a dreaded one.
