It's the end of an era. The Swarm closed out our final @i9Sports season with another #Superbowl Championship. It was a great run with a great group of kids! 20+ seasons... nearly that many championships and so many great memories. Let's go Swarm! @diamondanalyst #i9sports276

It’s a wild start to the season. Injuries and byes are striking very early this year. I have several teams with over 5 players inactive this week. The real battles this week are on the waiver wires….
WEEK 6 FANTASY UPDATE: After a Davante Adams resurgence, our Gamma Bombs fall to 3-2. Can we triumph over @RussellRhoads lovable losers this week? @ScottNations climbs to 2-3 to take on the resurgent Buc-ees. Nickelz looks to break his losing streak against Fidelity’s Da’ Generation squad. @carleygarner takes on the uber scary producer’s squad. Can @stardales be the one to topple the mighty Football Queen? Meanwhile both @BrianOverby and @KGBULLANDBEAR look to improve from 2-3. Who will win? Stay tuned…
I think i still have that tie in my closet somewhere...🤣
Weak jobs data, rising stocks and puzzling volatility trades. @RussellRhoads and @vixologist join us to unpack the mixed signals, unusual $VIX options activity and the prospect of perpetual VIX futures on "Volatility Views 697: Nothing Makes Sense."

Can’t believe my squad survived that 0.0 start by Doubs. This season is already off to a crazy start…
Week 1 is in the books! After a dismal start, The Gamma Bombs somehow managed to score a victory over @carleygarner’s Hot Commodities to move into a tie for 1st w/ @BrianOverby, The Queen & others. Meanwhile @ScottNations, @RussellRhoads, @stardales, @revongorges & last year’s winner @KGBULLANDBEAR are battling it out “in the cellar”! Who will take the crown this year? Stay tuned…
The first player from the @Options Gamma Bombs squad hit the gridiron last night...
with a resounding thud!
Don't think I've ever had a player score 0.0 after playing a full game. That's impressively bad. I smell collusion with @carleygarner. 🤔

Skeletor is in Fortnite. Killing tweens with an evil cartoon character from 40 years ago just feels right...

Is it time for a cinematic event 40 years in the making? Yes... yes it is. Take that @MikeTosaw & @OptionPit. Real fans go early!
I was privileged to witness the end of a bitter feud yesterday. @MikeTosaw finally paid the blood debt to @Dan_Passarelli that was incurred during our Election Night Special in 2020. Years of interest took their toll, but now the two lifelong nemeses can bury the hatchet.
