I don't know if anyone has done something like did this before, but since I just got done reading the first edition The Book of Basketball for the 4th or 5th time (it is my go to toilet book...for those of you interested in my bathroom habits it is this book, a New York Times crossword puzzle, or the iPad) I thought this would be a fun league.  So here is the low down:

welcome...the pantheon guy is not necessarily the lynchpin...so we will not be banning anyone (especially when you look at who is in the other tiers.

Scud there's no doubt that gerryred's team was better than their regular season record indicated. IMO niether my team nor phunke1's  team were quite as good as our regular season records showed. If our teams had played in the same division as you, malone, and dman we might have been lucky to get 49 or 50 wins. That being said I think that phunke1's team is still the favorite to win the title in the first season of this league and if he comes back for season 2 I want another shot at him LOL!.
