HILLSBORO VILLAGE—The Goodrow A Go Go was the scene of a fabulous private gala last night, as the Nashvegas Fantasy Football Association welcomed its newest owner, Suzy Fine, to the league family. Village Green co-owner Dave Goodrow, who is an old friend of Fine's and was one of the owners pushing hardest for her admittance to the league, played host for the star-laden event that was the talk of Nashvegas. 

Fine arrived at the soirée in a black stretch limo escorted by NFFA founder Dr. Jorge Linardo. Like many of the owners, Fine is a protege of the enigmatic Linardo. Her franchise, the South Franklin Independents, replaces the Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs, whose owner, Tirik Obobber, died under mysterious circumstances at the end of March.

The guest list included a number of celebrated couples, such as Green QB Aaron Rodgers and his girlfriend, Danica Patrick, soon-to-be Cambridge Animals QB Tom Brady and his wife, Giselle, and Pie Town Ballers owner Mojo D and his wife, The Pompatus of Love.

Atlanta Smack Daddies owner Lex Dominica caused a stir when he arrived with Stormy Daniels and her attorney, Michael Avenatti. Fortunately, President Trump, who is the majority owner of the Village Green, was not in attendance.

Former East Nashville RB DeMarco Murray (who is now part of the Black Dogs' broadcast team alongside play-by-play man Gus Johnson and sideline reporter Pamela Des Barres) was also in attendance, accompanied by the Money twins, Mo and Cash, the GM and president respectively of the Black Dogs. Their father and team owner, Bill Money, was in Maryville last night where he was holding a rally for his campaign as an independent for Tennessee's open U.S. Senate seat and unable to attend the festivities at the Goodrow A Go Go.

London Bakers owner QCurl Sharif, who is convalescing at a farm south of Nashville, made an appearance at the event via Facebook Live. Sharif, who has often been called the heart and soul of the league, spoke directly to Fine: "Ownership in this league is a privilege few have enjoyed. Welcome to the greatest fantasy football league in the history of the world."

In addition to Dr. Linardo, the West Nashville Beelzebubbas were represented by Saddam Hussein, who made an extremely rare appearance outside Club Gitmo, and Michael Che, who with the passing of Art Bell is the new host of the 'Bubbas' call-in show.

"With Suzy Fine in charge, we had to greatly improve that team's odd for this season," Hussein, who runs the Club Gitmo Sports Book, said. "The Independents could be the team that meets the Bakers for the championship."

Besides having worked with Dr. Linardo, Fine previously worked with Goodrow and Mojo D and has been friends with them for decades. Even so, as the party wound down, Fine pulled no punches when asked about her team's chances. "I was glad to learn we're in the Jorge division, the same division as the Green and the Ballers," she said. "I figure that's a sure four wins every year, and halfway to a playoff berth."
