GM Impressions

Andrew: It daily amazes how this little league has spawned a community of friends. Imagine if we all really did live in the same neighborhood? Yikes - our wives would kill us. We would all probably hang out constantly. Trade talks would last well into the night. Draft Night would take place in someone's two-car garage or basement, with tables all lined up and everyone using their own PC to track players. Good grief, we would do the sims on a big-screen TV. Man, would any of us ever get our yard work done?


If you want to know something about a guy, ask his buddies. Here's what these guys think about their fellow competitors:

Andrew: 
Andrew Lewis : Could there be a sexier Commish? I submit that there CANNOT!  
Garritt Grandberg : Mr. Dream Vacation (you gotta hear the places he goes to each year) 
Mike Manuel : Consistent (no one has won a many playoff games as he - without winning a title) 
Tim Arkwright : Wonderkid - now Average GM (you have to think he will return to form soon) 
Todd Ricotta : Thorough (if he had designed the PPPs four years ago, he would be a FBPRO celebrity)
Claude Boman : Quiet but determined (his persistence demands respect) 
Tom Edwards : Pidepiper (I think he's brought over twenty people into the league) 
Joe Malloy : Where have you gone, Sammy Stacy? 
Bill Barnwell : Would do better in the old USAFL - needs to modernize plan 
Ben Breeden : Breeden - he has brought even more honor to that name
Frederic Hurtubise : "3bm0u5e" Abrasive Humor King (I never laughed so hard)
Flip Sides : Mr. Burning Man (you gotta see pics of his annual quest to the alternate universe)
Aaron Webb : Maybe once he moves, he will getaway from Tim's funk and shine! 
Martin Lemay : Will the Jets ever be a champion? Lemay is their best shot yet
Jean Lefebvre : Model of Excellence  - new GMs should use his template for success
