In the inaugural season of the GPFFL, there was many different things that made the league memorable.
Rob Allen's pickup of Greg Hill (right before he broke his leg and went out for the year ... Greg Hill, not Rob), Rick Gloady drafting both Steve Young and Fred Taylor (who knew), Ethan Wyckoff taking Randy Moss (ha, ha, ha ... oh, he scored how many this week?), Greg McIntyre picking up Randall Cunningham in the first re-draft (thanks to Andy Wilkin NOT taking Brad Johnson's backup), Pete Leone lucking out and getting the Seattle Seahawks defense very late in the draft (again, who knew), and these are just to name a few things!!
All in all the league went well. We had a few teams stop calling in near the end of the season, but hopefully they have learned from their mistakes and will draft better to be more competitive next year.
