A long time ago in a fantasy league far, far away…
EPISODE VIII
The World Flipped Upsidedown
Bluegrass SuperLiga
Astronomers have been dazzled by recent discovery of bizarre solar systems with two, three, sometimes four stars. Here, in our boring old system, scientist thought we were in a solar system that contained one star, our Sun. Amazingly, and unexpectently, scientist discovered another star, one aliminating the world with brilliance, and knowledge. This star sits at the center of the fantasy universe, inviting you, no imploring you, to be trapped in its massive gravity…and be taken Inside the Fantasy. So shut the door to your room/office, turn the lights down, and stop breathing so heavy (your coworkers hate it), because your about to go “Inside the Fantasy” ©
Jeffrey’s Boys:
On August 20th of this year, a puff piece was written by Hater’s manager J. Herrington entitled “Jeffrey’s Boys.” The article, which was bizarrely centered around league doormat Hater’s, did little to analyze “Jeffrey’s Boys” real world chances of attaining fantasy immortality. Inside the Fantasy wants to take you dear reader, to an in-depth look at two of these boys, brothers Sardar, and rewrite the article to better reflect reality. Randall Herrington and John Copper, the other Boys, seem to be about where everybody expected, and will not feature in this article.
The Sardar Brothers: Jeffrey’s Big Brothers
Born on the mean streets of Chicago, the Sardar Brothers grew up in a household built on sacrifice. Their father worked his ass off, mother too, to make sure these boys became men. Both borothers know what it’s like to go to sleep hungry, and both know how to let that experience drive them forward, forever hungry, forever driven to achievement. The teams the put together at the beginning were sickly, anemic, and the league ridiculed them, chastised them, tried to make them feel like the outsiders that they were. But the Sardar family spirit, la cosa nostra, has been driving them both to the top of the table, despite the Haters. Inside the Fantasy asked Zaen Sardar, league leader, how he and his brother had defied expectations? He smiled, saying its in his blood, summed up by the Sardar family motto, “Success is a Choice.”
Faris Sardar exemplified this motto last week by shocking the world (it should be less shocking now) by executing a Pro Wild Card against his former mentor turned student J. Herrington. With his team in shambles, Faris Sardar turned the tables, putting together a formidable team capable of keeping his team at the top. “When I commit to something, I strive to be the best, no half-assing it,” said Faris. Upon seeing Faris team, J. Herrington knew he was beat. “This year has been no fun, just getting blown out every weekend is not very exciting.” Though J. Herrington would not admit it, the Sardar brothers deserve the Credit for brilliant play! Each are their brother’s keeper.
