I know, I know…it’s way too early for you to be hearing from me in May. But the 2014 NFL Draft is only a week away so Season 3 will be upon us before you know it. That’s really just a bullshit excuse for me to roll out the red carpet on TheLombardiThree.com!
I hope this finds everyone as anxious and excited for Season 3 as I am. As you can see, I’ve been busy. We have managed to step up our game each season so why not have a slick, new website. A virtual one-stop-shop for all your Lombardi Three needs.
Did someone say “shop”? Lombardi Three swag??
Don’t worry; I’m not there…yet. Maybe next year.
Jesus, now I’m wondering how I can get The Swallops’ horse-bird logo on to a wife-beater or flannel shirt. I digress.
I have backfilled the first two season’s correspondence to date and uploaded a surplus of league materials. Check out the League History page for a detailed, statistical look at our first two seasons. I have also linked various resources to aid in this year’s weekly analysis. These will be updated throughout the year as the season progresses.
We’ve given it two good trial runs and fleshed out the bullshit. Time to play for cash like the big boys. Check out the final breakdown of League Dues and how to pay. Paying your dues confirms your intent to play this coming season and guarantees your current position in the Draft Order, or better. If you do not intend to play this year, please let me know soonest. I have had lots of interest from new teams looking to join and I’d like to solidify the League Roster over the next few months.
DRAFT LOCATION: The Regal Beagles have transitioned to San Diego this year and offered to host the live draft over Labor Day weekend. With a few left-coasters in the vicinity, this could make for a fun draft location. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves though as this is all still TBD.
DRAFT ORDER: Assuming the same 14 teams return this season, the draft order would look something like the below, per the rules laid out in the Constitution. The random drawing for 1st overall pick will be held prior to the beginning of the NFL preseason and announced on this site. Again, this is all TBD as the fantasy season approaches and we lock down the league roster and draft logistics.
*Once the 1st overall draft pick winner is chosen, the above order slides up to fill the empty position.
Take a look at the site at your leisure and please make sure you sign up to follow the site postings. This will replace all email correspondence. As always, I’m looking forward to everyone’s feedback, comments and suggestions.
