Looks like we've cleared out most of our CPU teams (although one was sold right back to Uncle Bort after the temporary owner renamed it the Kiskunfelegyhaza Gravediggers...wtf)
We have added two new teams that are sporting awesome "Z"s instead of an "S." Congrats to both the Woland Gangstaz and the Los Angeles Ice Chillz for being so creative in the naming process.
League Breakdown
West
Last season's champion, the Woland Begemots, has been sold - apparently to pay off a gambling debt. I assume this because the team name has changed to the "Gangstaz." As I indicated previously, having a "Z" in your name is fuckin cool as hell. I am currently trying to decide whether to rename my own team "Wagnerz Meat" or "Wagner Meatz."If anyone has any suggestions, please, flood my inbox. If the Gangstaz are able to pick up any players at all, I still predict season 10 failure for them. Prediction: 4-12
Mississississippi Mud Dogz 15-1 last season. One of season 9's most exciting ground games looks to be back on track. Both QBs look ready to run the rock and I'd be surprised to find out that Ace and Jag aren't modeled directly after Tommy Excel and Made in California. Watch out for these guys. Prediction: 15-1
Wagnerz Meatz - 14-2 last season, conference championship loser. Until these guys start boosting, they are never going to be competitive. Prediction: 10-6
Wezt Virginia Mountain MENz - 12-4 in season 9, their roster is looking a little thin this season. Plenty of running backs, not much backup on the defensive side of the ball. I have faith they'll get it together and fill that roster out before whenever it is that games start. They've added Eric M Vos as a defensive coordinator, so look for their historically good defense to continue. Prediction: 11-5
Phoenix Ducks - 12-4 in season 9, lost championship game to the Pee Wee Destroyers. Very solid team. I hate them. Prediction: 14-2
Philly Pitbullz - Boats n Hoes are dead and gone. All that's left is half a roster from Philly. Looking better than the Gangstazz at this point, so I'll rank them a little higher. Prediction 5-11
Hamilton Tiger-Catz - 9-7, first round exit on the playoffs. Full roster - with 1, 2, 3! QBs. Team looks improved from season 9. Prediction: 10-6
Bridgeport Money Makerz - 8-8 in season 9. After an incredibly slow start, the Money Makerz came on strong in the second half to finish up with a playoff berth. In season 10, their roster is incredibly shallow at this point - 30 players. They can make a go of it, but will need to add some guys in order to be competitive. Prediction: 8-8 (lower if they don't get some more dudes on that roster)
The rest of the league has teeny tiny rosters and will need to make vast improvements in order to compete in season 10. Sucks that CPU teams were given out so late.
Predictions
Mud Dogz 15-1
Phoenix Duckz 14-2
Wezt Virginia Mountain MENz - 11-5
Hamilton Tiger-Catz - 10-6
Wagnerz Meatz - 10-6
Bridgeport Money Makerz - 8-8.
Looking at this now, it's ridiculous to think that any of the top 5 teams will lose any more than 4 games. Go ahead and mentally switch everything around so that I don't have to go back and edit this thing. There will end up being at least 5 CPU teams by the end of the season I am betting
I'll get to the East or I won't.
