IS COMMISSIONER MONEY GOING ‘ROGER GOODELL’ ON THE NFFA?
Commentary


By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press

One has to wonder, in these days of fear and terror, if Commissioner William D. Money hasn’t gone “Roger Goodell” on the Nashvegas Fantasy Football Association.

According to reliable NFFA sources, Money spent time with Goodell when the NFL Commissioner was in Nashvegas a few weeks ago. And last week, after he had quaffed four Touchdown Tasers™ in less than 90 minutes, Money allegedly told Devlin Redd, head bartender at the Cherry Bomb Café, that he considered Goodell his new mentor. “It was Roger this and Roger that, and how he had to crack the whip, like his precious Roger,” Redd recalled. According to the bartender, Money said Goodell had cautioned him to protect the league’s brand and specifically mentioned the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs and 12th Avenue Bakers as franchises who were hurting the league’s image. He added that Goodell considered Triki Bobber and G.Q. Denney “worse than Al Davis.”

Sources close to Bobber confirmed that the commissioner recently had "been up Triki's butt." In fairness, it should be pointed out that Bakers' mouthpiece Faith Popcorn said Denney "had no memory of the commissioner being up his butt."

Now, in light of recent developments in which representatives of at least two NFFA franchises sought to purposely breach the security of the league’s computer system, the AWP has learned that the commissioner plans to establish a powerful competition committee to be chaired by Atlanta Smack Daddies owner Lex Dominica. The mission of the committee will be to maintain fair play in the league. Dominica was apparently selected because he is the cleanest of all the NFFA owners, which speaks volumes about the league.

The AWP also has learned that Money has instructed NFFA attorneys to explore whether or not fantasy league commissioners were given sweeping powers as part of the Homeland Securities Act.

And the suspension this week of all-star wide receiver Marvin Harrison until 2011 for his alleged involvement in human pit fights held on Fidalgo Island represents the most extreme example of the commissioner's recent muscle flexing.

All of which causes this observer to wonder if Commissioner Money is out of control. And the answer would appear to be a resounding yes.

In a shocking development that could bring chaos at the next NFFA owners meeting, the commissioner’s office confirmed today that G.Q. Denney, owner of the 12th Avenue Bakers, was among those in the audience at a human pit fighting event on Fidalgo Island.

When journalists examined a screen-capture photo from one of the illicit videos, released yesterday by the NFFA, they quickly spotted a person that appeared to be Denney, sitting behind Marvin Harrison and near Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and actor Owen Wilson.

When confronted about the visual image, Bakers’ spokesperson Faith Popcorn confirmed that it was Denney.

However, she claimed, the NFFA had fully investigated the incident and cleared the Bakers’ owner. “G.Q. told the commissioner he had no memory of attending any human pit fight, and he passed a polygraph test to prove it.”

When pressed by reporters, Popcorn added that Denney had no memory of taking a polygraph test. She suggested that agents working for Triki Bobber might have drugged and abducted Denney and taken him to the fight on Fidalgo Island. “Let’s not forget,” she said, “that we’re dealing with someone who is criminally insane and tried to trick Mr. Denney a year ago into blowing up the Cherry Bomb Café. Now that he’s been cleared, Mr. Denney is committed to helping find the real killer.”

BREAKING NEWS: BOBBER ACCUSED OF BRIBERY


By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press

Triki Bobber, the beleaguered owner of the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs, allegedly paid an undisclosed sum of money to the internet company which hosts the NFFA to gain a competitive advantage over the league's other teams, the AWP has learned.

According to sources within league headquarters, commissioner William D. Money is in possession of an email from the president of Fanstar Football, which acknowleges that the company accepted a bribe from Bobber. The email states in part, "Sea Hogs have paid us off to subliminally get in your head."

Apparently, the commissioner learned of the bribery after several team owners reported their owner photos and team logos had been replaced by Bobber's photo and the Sea Hogs' logo. Money is expected to make an official statement on the matter by tomorrow, at the latest. Attempts to reach Bobber were unsuccessful.
