2020 TLM Season Review

It seems like only yesterday when the first article dropped, and a buzz of excitement could be heard from each corner of the league. Mere hours ago when Bryce infamously called T.Y Hilton a “homewrecker.” And only a few minutes since Zack rostered 9 quarterbacks to screw me over.


And yet the end has come. One that we expected in a sense, given Zach's roster makeup during the preseason, and at the same time came upon us with possibly the quietest championship week yet to date. It’s a sweet victory for one, bittersweet for most, and a bitter year for Heery. So, with a clear heart, full mind, and hope for years to come: your very own TLM Blog gives you…


 

The 2020 Season Recap

 

Our season began with Zack, Austin, and myself beckoning in the season with bold predictions and projections for our league. We thought we had it all figured out, and as you will see below, we really weren’t too far off, except for bold predictions. Which again, are supposed to be bold…

Bold Prediction Record = 4/26 (18%)


Final Standings (Preseason Projection)

Zach 9-4 (11-2)

Bryce 11-2 (11-2)

Tom 6-7 (9-4)

John 8-5 (8-5)

Corey 6-7 (7-6)

Reagan 5-8 (7-6)

David 7-6 (7-6)

Zeke 8-5 (6-7)

Jordan 5-8 (5-8)

Bettis 8-5 (5-8)

Zack 3-10 (2-11)

Heery 2-11 (0-13)


But none of that is important. What matters is the season, the moments that made up the utter craziness that was this year, and below, we compiled a list of the highlights and lowlights of the season…


Highlight: HiltonGate

Perhaps this season will be remembered as the season in which a single prank outshined the championship itself. It was almost too surreal to actually happen, but it did, and prove Bryce is most likely the most gullible person to ever exist.


Lowlight: Groupme Interactions

It was an overall quiet year in the chat except for the random messages aimed at me from Zack. The blog can only carry so much of the league on its back per week…


Highlight: Bryce outscoring both championship teams

This may have been the fantasy god’s way of paying Bryce back for his slander against T.Y.


Lowlight: Reagan playing without a QB

It was a tough year in general. This was the icing on the cake for me.


Highlight: More trades than ever before

The holy trinity of fantasy football is Drafting, Trades, and trash talk. And we as a league knocked trades out of the park. With a bit of help from Zack.


Lowlight: Bettis starting David Johnson who was hurt during the wildcard

The white flag had already been waved before the game even began.


And yet, none of those things would have been possible without the players on our roster. Meaning it was only necessary to compile a list of our studs, duds, and breakout players that made this year possible…

Superfan Addie's Parting words:

“I am glad I got to be a part of the TLM website and be a super fan and featured correspondent. I knew I made the right decision when I subscribed to email updates. Can’t wait to see what’s next for TLM. “

Below were her favorite moments

Bryce’s interview: GREAT content. I hope for more videos in the future

Becoming a cover star: I love that my beautiful homecoming photo is the cover

photo for the iconic Hiltongate prank

TLM Class Superlatives: overall great content. Very funny


It was our pleasure to have you join us on this journey.


 

And as sad as it is, that’s all we got. It was truly a pleasure to produce content for you guys on a weekly basis and I hope you enjoyed them. Big shoutout to Austin for editing my terrible grammar and Zack for aiding in some articles, giving me ideas when the content ran dry. I poured my heart and soul into about half the articles, and can’t say it wasn’t a joy to do so.


Until next year,


Reagan Cotton

Proud TLM Owner


2021 TLM champion

It was based on preseason ranking vs actual ranking through week 16, so he actually underperformed even though he finished strong
