Off Season Report

Last year was arguably the most exciting season of PSAS.  Great participation set the stage for some remarkable drama and high turnover in playoff teams.   But what's become of the top-half of our valiant contenders in their time off?  Let's take a look:

TakingTigerMountain -          

-Where we left them:  Be-laureled, praised by gods and men.

- What they did:  decided not to sleep for the next eighteen years or so.


-Where they'll be:  Nothing is certain.  Calls for the embattled comish to step down faded during the off-season.  But as yet he's made no public statement on sharing power.  It's easy to say that the Mountain has been worn down by responsibilities, but he's up at odd hours - always a fantasy wildcard.

BuildingDwellingThinking -
-Where we left them: crushed by untimely injuries.

- What they did?  The Heidiggerian GM fronted a popular commercial band for the Free Credit Score.com company.

-Where they'll be? the fantasy titrations of this squad have wandered in recent months as their baseball teams have been abandoned to negligence.  Then again, it's hard to count out a Texan in an election year.

SanFranciscoFerries -
- Where we left them?  A hot and cold season finished strong with a victory in the 3rd place game.


-What they did?  East Coasters can only guess at the hours of relaxation enjoyed by the Ferries after their move back to the Left Coast. We're envisioning sleeping on an outdoor couch, drinking microbrews, opening a medical marijuana dispensary, buying Facebook stock on the first day (one can hope).

Where they'll be?  Hard to say.  Is it possible for a place to agree with you too much?  If so, the Ferries may have to prove the haven't lost their edge coming out of the gate.  This is still a Brooklyn centered league and the auction draft, like the streets, can be a lonely, rapey place.



AEthernauts -

Where we left them:  the upwardly mobile explorers topped out in the second round of the playoffs.

What they did:  starred in a stage adaptation of Repo Man.

Where they'll be:  The Nauts have improved every year since their induction to the PSAS.  This time nothing less than the championship game will do.


Tusken Raiders - 

Where we left them: the Star Wars franchise was more prequel than O.G. down the stretch  last year.

What they did:  returned to Dagobah, completed training.

Where they'll be: When you go against the Empire, you go hard, or you don't go at all.





The Pelican Brief   
Where we left them:  Another early exit from the playoffs - another year of talent wasted.

What they did:   Considered changing name to King of Torts.

Where they'll be:  "This has got to be the year right?" - 2011
