I saw some talk about amount of teams and focused or for fun teams. When I first started MFN I was lucky enough to join Moguls and get the Memphis franchise. I was in the I guess, AFC. It was opposite of LA and SF. Back then I don't think norm had gotten over the hump and won a championship yet. I could be wrong. I thought the whole other Conference was one person with multiple accounts ( I think I was reading some threads about collusion and other beefs).

I had a lot of fun with that team. I named them the Hound Dogs, had George Lemmons, 100 in everything, I picked up a champ QB that had been cut Gil Johnson, had a WR that was top shelf but I forgot his name, 2 DE's that were monsters. But I couldn't get any wins. So I picked up another team to get more practice and all of a sudden I had 4 or 5 teams.. It made the game not fun. So I wouldn't recommend getting too many teams. But it's hard to realize that when you are new.

But anyways League 22 went bankrupt, Memphis was like 12-0, in my mind I was headed to the Super Bowl. I stayed in that league until it was stricken from history.

Then I was shocked when norm contacted me and invited me into Moguls. After all the complaining I was doing, He said "You can bring back your Hound Dogs" and I was in. I tried updating the teams look but it wasn't right. So teal and purple were the colors again. The team was resurrected!

The Hound Dogs are my pride and joy in this game. i care about all my teams but this team is my baby.

It's been fun competing with all of you guys. I look forward to hopefully many seasons and some well fought for games. Win or lose, I have a competitive spirit and the competition is what makes it fun for me...so no matter what, when you play the Dogs, you better get a good nights sleep, eat your Wheaties in the morning and have the wife or mommy pack you a good lunch (with some Anicin in a little tupperware container) cause your gonna need it.

I'll vouch for that... we've had some fun, entertaining ones.

(tears for Cust 22... BTW... That was my best season too... either one of us could have won the division, if not the league.)

Let me also be clear that this league is most definitely for fun. It doesn't matter how many other teams you have, how focused you are, or whatever. So long as you have fun playing with us you are welcome here. Best of luck to everyone and let's keep making this league great.

What a blast from the past, a look back into memory lane that is cust22! I was really sad to see that league wither away from lack of participation but I'm glad we were able to migrate over the main crew over to here (norm, ssid, bill, billyvan, bananas, chaospika, daniel3ooo, and the ever quiet but never forgotten brohl).

And while it is nice to have the cust22 crew here, I'm happy to see that we have gained a lot of new and committed users. This league wouldn't be the same without all the newcomers and is what has made this league so fun.

(Shoutout Gilberto Johnson, you were the man!)

Here's to many more seasons of fun and antics.

Highlights/Notable Events of Moguls

1. Billyball (all pass and no run makes billy a ̶d̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶o̶y̶ bipolar offense).

The ever so infamous billyball, coined from the creator billvan, consisted of stacking the offense with all 90+ rated WRs and overwhelming the defense by passing every single play to great success. The gimmicky offense stormed through the AFC in the first 2 seasons and overwhelmed teams on their way to 2 straight Superbowl appearances. If not for MFN commissioner jdavidbakr stepping in and updating the game engine due to "Football Reasons", billyball may have continued indefinitely. Billyball has since died down in usage but has made a resurgence this past season as it stormed its way to the AFC title game, only for billyvan to attempt reverse psychology by talking about billyball in the chat, only to play a more balanced offense to his demise in the AFC title game.


Good billyball


Bad billyball

2. What is parity

A brand new league, everyone starts off on a clean slate, we are all equal. Sike! Norm dominates the first 3 years, winning 3 straight titles and proving to everyone that his team is just too Xtreme. Seriously, he went 18-1 in each of the first 3 seasons, and somehow turned a QB with the arm strength of a 10 year old into a Hall of Famer. Parity? No such thing in the beginning.

Here's a reminder of what the first 3 seasons looked like under ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶M̶a̶d̶ ̶K̶i̶n̶g̶'s Norm's reign.


1st title


2nd title


3rd title

3. A Kurse on the league

If there was ever an underdog story, from an unknown to a success story, you would only have to go through a few thousand google results before we come upon kursetheday! The man appeared out of the blue one day and immediately dominated the league. He would try his darn hardest to convince the league that he had no idea what he was doing and that he was truly an underdog.



Kurse started off his first full season going 18-0, only to be stopped by the Xtreme dynasty. Reeling from his first loss, the underdog pulled himself up by his bootstraps and fought his way to the title game again, only to face MFN legend lellow. This underdog had no fear and dominated TE cheeser lellow to give the underdog story the happy ending we all wanted and needed.

4. Heel turn and rise from the ashes

With the conclusion of the 2020 Superbowl, fan favorite kursetheday made the shocking heel turn in front of the thousands of fans, as he repeatedly leg dropped the league with reminders that he was the league champ.



Buried and burned from years under Norm's reign, the always benevolent Demon's woke up and rose from the ashes to take on super heel ̶H̶o̶l̶l̶y̶w̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶H̶u̶l̶k̶ ̶H̶o̶g̶a̶n̶ kursetheday. As told by stories, Goliath always wins.



5. Well Aubie damned

Aubie, the playoff team that always goes under the radar finally put it all together to take down the Kurse AFC reign and stopping "billyball" in its tracks. But would that be enough to stop the Superbowl shuffling Bears?



Defense wins championships. The Colts rode a wave of 3 and outs, timely fumbles, and a bit of magic on their way to their first tile.



6. Who's music is that?


Booger has arrived, and there's no chance in **** we're stopping him from turning his team into the WWE.


(I will likely be moving this to it's own thread at a later date, but figured this would be a good time to talk some Moguls history!)

I LOVE THIS

but the gifs caused me to use all of my phone data plan when I check it during Lunch.

You owe me $20

This is amazing!

For what's it worth, as your FORMER champion, I still have no idea what I'm doing.

I heard the new guy in Atlanta might have $5 for you. Good luck!

Still $15 short

That's a case of cheap beer

Gotta have priorities
