The Deadbeats traded Gronkowski to the Headbangers for the Headbangers' second round rookie this year and sleeper next year.

What's in a name?

You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay.....

For those who remember the 1970s, or was it the early 80s? that  phrase might make sense. For the youngsters who play COD see the link below. 

Marlton Johnson is a bad ass nerd

The official news release said:

"After careful consideration of various options, which included current baseball league name "The Next Generation" and the Three Dog Night and Manning QB themed "Eli's Slumming" (which I really liked but will inevitably not make sense at some point), I have decided to name my team...

 

The Marlton Johnsons 

 

Three things to explan this name:

1) I live in Marlton, NJ;

2) Johnsons are always funny; and

3) This: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Marlton_Johnson.

 

 

Thanks

The other guy from Notre Dame is drafted

Tight End Tyler Eifert has been drafted in the last pick of the first round by the Ambassadors. Eifert became a star at Notre Dame after Kyle Rudolph left for the NFL in 2011.

Kyle Rudolph, is he even Catholic?

The important thing is, he has a real girlfriend.

He's a Rebel, will he ever be any good?

You can believe it, Xavier Rhodes the Florida State D back is a hot pick and he's on his way to Ashburn. There he will join the likes of Leon Hall and Jimmy Smith competing for a place in the Rebels' secondary.

Xavier Rhodes, right, gets on his Urkel with Fl State team mate Ronald Darby

You would be forgiven if you thought the Rebels drafted Steve Urkel, instead of one tough DB.

An Old School Quack Attack

Old school has taken on Dion Jordan DE Oregon. Jordan, who moved from TE to DE on Chip Kelly's defense, will need to put on some bulk for the SFL but is known as a determined player. Jordan overcame injuries received in a house fire during his senior year in high school to shine for the Ducks.

Dion Jordan, "I'm very happy to be Old School, know what I'm sayin baby?"

Eric is a Head Banger

Free Safety Eric Reid will join the Long Island Football Head Bangers as their first pick of the 2013 draft. The LSU Tiger is known as a hard worker and maintained a solid academic record.

Chance Warmack will be living down in Allentown

Chance Warmack could be the key to the next Ambassador dynasty

The Allentown Ambassadors took no chances by selecting Chance Warmack, G, Alabama as their first round pick. The Ambassadors, who have not won a championship since 2005 will be looking to strengthen protection for QB Peyton Manninig with the addition of the 6'2" 317lbs lineman.

Domination call on Longhorn for secondary needs

Dormont Domination manager, Eric Smochek, looks at shuring up his secondary with the addition of Texas DB Kenny Vaccarro. Domination left their decision to the last minute due to what has been described by insiders as "personal issues" between Smochek and some local rampaging vikings.

Kenny Vaccarro a welcome addition to Dormont

"I would like to say I spent all day in quiet contemplation and studying all of the angles - but I really just fell asleep while putting the marauders down for the night," he said.

Rampaging vikings have caused a delay in Smochek's decision making a team spokesman said.

Ertz prepares for move down under

"Chip you are cool and handsome," Kelly said.

2nd Pick 1st Round

The Melbourne Wombats pick Manti Te'o LB out of Notre Dame.

The bizarre Manti Te'o saga may have cost him a chance to be a first rounder in the 2013 NFL draft, but not in the SFL.

Manti Te'o looks for his girlfriend in the crowd

Joe picks Joeckel

Joe has selected Luke Joeckel OT out of Texas A&M.
