Tim Tebow Plays Baseball (for a reason)

All hail Kellie, heir to the Caggiano throne, champion of The Sunshine State, aka Tebow4EVER, aka AlwaystheOnlyGirl, ruler of CBPFFL!

To achieve Fantasy dominance, Kellie uses a remarkable system of team Management: never make a transaction. Not. Ever.

Kellie drafts and those are her guys. Regardless of if they are playing football, or selling cheese graters, they WILL be on her roster. I mean, she still drafts Tebow, and he plays baseball...

Of the nine owners that have played six or more seasons in the computer age CBPFFL, Kellie has made an INFINITESIMAL amount of roster moves. Murat, the dirty deal master, leads the way with 245 moves; Kellie has just 12(!!!) in seven years.

She rode this management style to a runner up finish in 2014, and now the trophy in 2015.

Jason had similar finishes during the same time period (1st in '14 and 3rd in 2015). He made 42 moves.

Murat also lurked around the top at the same time (3rd in '14 and 2nd in 2015). He made 86 (!) moves.

In two seasons, Kellie made two. T-W-O.

Here's to player loyalty, and our reigning Champion! Girl Power!

History of the League

In the fall of 1991, six young boys entered the hallowed halls of the Banfield Academic Center to embark upon a journey that would make them into men. They were lead by the eponymous Carl Brown and his obsession with Dennis Hopper. His group, which gathered each day in their private, brick-walled alcove, consisted of Steven Caggiano, James Pickard, Sahil Tak, Hank Zakroff, and Murat Zincir. Though other people drifted in and out, this was the core of the entity that would come to be known as the CB Posse.

CB Posse FF officially began in 1993. The early years of the league would be dominanted by Murat and Pickard, who took the trophy three time each. It wasn't until the seventh year of CB Posse FF that this dynamic duo of NFL knowledge failed to capture first place. Sadly, in 1999, as the Posse members finished college, only four owners played, and, due to lack of interest, the league would begin a decade long hibernation.

In 2009, Pickard asked Hank whether he would be interested in getting the league back together. After an emphatic "YES!" from his friend, Pickard made some phone calls and the league was reborn like a glorious phoenix from the ashes. The 21st Century has revolutionized FF into a more competitive monster. CB Posse FF went completely digital, and unless you can navigate the nearly endless amounts of NFL information available on the internet, you don't have a chance. Sahil would emerge as the dominant force, and he destroyed the league for back-to-back championships.

21st Century CB Posse FF has seen significant expansion. Murat and Pickard have lured several local friends into the ranks. Murat's New York crew has been dominant, consistently finishing near the top, and even claiming several championships. CB Posse FF has also become multi-generational, as young Jack Caggiano has boldly followed his parents' footsteps. Even the trophy underwent massive expansion, and is renamed The Caggiano.
