Fake News Preds are withdrawing from Frenzy due to the corruption of the NFL

I love the Frenzy, and am broken-hearted to write this, but in no way shape or form can I continue to support a completely corrupt and rigged NFL.

Due the blatantly evident cheating by the league in today's Bill-Broncos playoff game, I am OUT on all things NFL in 2026, which unfortunately includes this league.

I refuse to give the NFL another penny of my money or moment of my time. Unfortunately that means no fantasy football for me next year as well. I've already regrettably let Pat and Jim know to replace me.

A huge FU to the NFL. I wish nothing but financial ruin on the greedy corrupt cheating corporate bastards that run the league and cheat the fans and so many teams throughout the league.

Peace out and best of luck to you all, nothing but respect for this league and it's members. I'm sure you'll be just, fine, I just can't allow the NFL another moment of my time or emotions.

It was a brutal Saturday night game for Bills fans, for sure.
I'm so sorry to lose your participation in the league, Mike... but you have to stay true to yourself. You will be missed!

Especially brutal after two other games had basically same situation, and both ruled opposite way.
Going to miss you Mike for sure. You really brought much fun into these leagues...your legacy will live on!!!

Sorry to see you go Mike, it was always fun competing with you.


Can I ask how you think the NFL benefits by not having the Bill's advance?

Default Re: Preds are NO LONGER withdrawing from Frenzy due to the corruption of the NFL

After a couple weeks of chilling out in Hawaii, I've decided my hatred of the way the NFL is rigging games (alongside their partners in Vegas), shouldn't impact the years of friendships and fun I've had in the Frenzy. As a result, I informed Jim that I will return for 2026 if my spot hadn't been filled and have been greenlighted to retract my withdrawal.

I still think the league is rigged as can be by the league to maximize profits for both the league and Vegas. From this point forward I consider the NFL as nothing more than WWE level entertainment with results of many if not all games officiated to keep games close so the league can influence outcomes late in games in one direction of another to meet whatever narrative they prefer as well as every effort they can do to endure that both the league and their partners Vegas need to maximize profits. My hatred of the lying cheating dirty b@stards that run the NFL remains unchanged! The NFL still won't get a single penny out of me next year, and the only games I'll watch will be the Bills.

But to truly have done it NFL Players style... you would have waited until the last week of training camp to come out of retirement. Of course, we would have drafted your rookies for you (3 rounds of kickers!)... and given you all the good RFAs.

welcome back Mike!

*Maybe we can work out a Dallas/Minnesota Herschel Walker style trade before you retire next time
