the Jag Zone

I've been involved in Fantasy Football since the early eighties.. the days of manually tabulating scores on a Monday or Tuesday following each weeks games. Using whatever Newspaper available that posted consistent statistics for us. After a season or two we began to use the USA Today paper on a regular basis until the computer age provided a much easier mode of handling that. I began as most did then, basic scoring leagues with buddies. Then there came the Yahoo, CBS, ESPN, etc Leagues. Over time I began to study the Fantasy Football game a little more and subsequently got involved in the deeper Dynasty formats during the early 2000's.

As times evolved I've played free leagues, $25-$50 /person leagues, as well as competed in high stakes Championship Leagues at several levels. WCoFF, different Leagues with Media members in the Midwestern United States as well as Sportswriters, Reporters, News Editors, and of course with random Owners all over the country. At one point one of my online competitors that I talked football with mentioned to me about the set up at Zealots Field Dynasty Leagues and asked if I would be interested in checking it out. I Filled out an application and joined a league. It was an incredibly enjoyable fantasy football experience.

It didn't take me long to realize that Dynasty League success had pretty much become my favorite. At that point the money had very little to do with it. I’d backed off of the deep cash leagues because I found that the biggest satisfaction for me personally was from either starting a team from scratch via a start up Draft and creating a consistent winner or taking a team that a previous owner may have destroyed and in two or three seasons turning the team into something consistently competive.

In the early 2000's I joined and subsequently remained a part of Zealots Field Dynasty League Football ( http://www.zealotsfield.com/ ) until recently (2021). I joined their leadership team in 2004. They had been in existence for a couple of years at that point. In the mid 2000’s (maybe 2005) Zealots Field began looking to expand. A new and larger community Message Board was set up via Invision Boards that would be able to handle the traffic. Since that time constant work has been done by many to consistently work to improve the Zealots Field Dynasty Football experience. Although I may be biased I have no problem telling anyone interested in playing simply for pride and/or because they love the competition that in my opinion Zealots Field has been the ultimate in a “play for the love of Dynasty Football” type experience.

At this point the bottom line for me is that I really just enjoy playing against competitive, dedicated, yet also level headed owners in varying Dynasty League formats. I completely understand and appreciate that as owners none of us has the same opinion regarding different leagues, player values, etc.. Over the years I've competed in as many as 35/40 leagues per year in various seasons. Currently I’ve dialed it back to 20 active and very well run Leagues. I've been very fortunate to enjoy some great success in many leagues over time. Now it’s mostly a matter of my personal enjoyment, interaction, and solid competition in the leagues I’m a part of. I love competing against the many different strategies that various owners bring to the table as well as just conversing about football and the many aspects of the game that come with it. 

I’m married with two grown children (one played the game through his collegiate years and now coaches it). Obviously despite my love of the game of football itself I’m still very much a a “family first” individual.

As I said, I do love talking football so if you care to please feel free to message me anytime.. 
I’ll respond as I am able to!
