Hartan's secret to success: Tapatio

How does a team overcome finishing in 8th place the last two years? Hot Sauce. And lots of it.

During the 2011 season, the Hartan have secretly employed a "get hot, stay hot" program to help keep their team motivated and in the playoff hunt.

The program is centered around Tapatio, a popular hot sauce used mostly in Mexican dishes, and became known as "Tapatio Tuesdays," where players were given shots of the condiment to help their performance on the field.

BDiddy Sets AFFL Record with 194 pts, and Sleeps Right Through it.

Late Sunday Afternoon, BDiddy owners Baret and Mike were informed that they had set a new AFFL record for most points in a game. They also didn't seem to be upset that someone woke them up from their nap.

Having slept through their record breaking 194 point performance, Baret was as excited as a person could be who had just woke up and didn't know where he was. The first sentence he said was unintelligible, but after a moment of getting his thoughts together, he commented on the historic day.

"Indeed I am the owner of the team that haa set the record," he said, and then went back to sleep.

Andre to Avo: We're done. You run the team. I'm out!

Reports surfacing out of Hangin' and Bangin' camp claim that co-manager Andre has abandoned ship. After the injury to Schaub and the subsequent acquisition of Aaron Rodgers by Bomba, friends say that Andre feels he no longer "has a shot" at the title, and has handed over complete control of the coaching duties to Avo for the remainder of the 2011 season. He also gave Avo a rosary and a Bible for guidance, though both were reported to be for personal reasons.

"They make fun Prime Time, no good for them," said Daw Mookjai, a local rug salesman who bleeds Prime Time colors. "You make fun, we beat you!"
