DEC 30, 2024 (10:20 PM)  Owner of Enmity finally wins it all in his 9th season in the PFF.  Jordan Dodson, who joined the league when he was 18 years old, has won it all at the age of 31 years old.  Jordan has come and went from the league, holds some of the worst records in league history, and now has turned his luck around and is the Champion of the Professional Football Federation.

Jordan holds the record for the Longest Losing Record from Season to Season when he was the New York Empire.  He lost 16 straight games from Week 4, 2011 to Week 6, 2012.  But here we are tonight as he is now finishing #1.  Jordan has played Fantasy Football for most of his life and has won other leagues but seemed to struggle in this league.  But he continued to fight and continued to play until he perfected it.  This is a true underdog story, and the league is very proud of his success.

Jordan is the son of founder and commissioner Tony Dodson.  Tony started this league before Jordan was even in school.  Commish Tony was asked as he watched his son win it all how he felt.  "I think this is just so awesome.  I watched him fight, come and go, and never give up.  Very proud of him for his endurance and hope he truly knows how special this win is."

Congratulations to Jordan and his Enmity.  We hope you are ready to defend it because 15 other teams look forward to taking it from you!

The Roots of Fantasy Football

What do golf and football have to do with each other? Other than Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and The Match, fantasy football can actually trace its roots back to fantasy golf, the original fantasy contest back in the 1950s.

Wilfred “Bill” Winkenbach, part-owner of the Oakland Raiders back in the 1960s, actually invented fantasy golf. The original rules involved drafting golfers per tournament and compile their scores per fantasy team. The lowest score would win, naturally. It almost sounds like fantasy golf was the OG DFS contest, too.

Drinking cocktails with a couple of sportswriters in 1962, Winkenbach took his golf concept and created the first fantasy football league. It was an eight-team league called the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League. Too bad character limits won’t allow that fantastic league name on modern platforms.

Winkenbach’s invention allowed fantasy team owners to draft professional football players from any team to their own fantasy squads. A scoring system was put in place to accumulate fantasy points based on real game performances. So, for example, the original scoring system awarded 25 points for a made field goal. That, as you will come to see, is an absurd number of fantasy points today. It may not have been perfect, but Winkenbach’s creation would one day be the catalyst for the NFL’s explosive popularity.

Of course, it would take decades before fantasy football would hit the mainstream. It took dedication to compile fantasy statistics out of newspaper box scores. Only the most hardcore fans would play fantasy football. Then the Internet happened.

Perhaps the pinnacle of human invention, the Internet changed everything. That includes fantasy football. The mid-90s saw the rise of the original fantasy sites. They compiled fantasy statistics for players, lowering the barrier to entry.

Reasons to Play Fantasy Football

Love of the game. Friendship. Fun. Bragging rights. Money. Peer pressure. Pride. These are just some of the reasons why fantasy football is for you.

Once upon a time, I moved to California, sight unseen. Starting from scratch with no friends or family, I was invited to participate in a local fantasy league. Despite the modernization of fantasy leagues already, this league did a live auction draft. By then, I knew a couple of the guys in the 12-team league, but those relative acquaintances were all that I knew heading into the league. I left that league with several good friends, and a version of that league still plays together over a decade later despite the fact many of us have moved away. Looking back, it's too bad we didn't name it Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League Redux.

Fantasy football makes the most mundane matchup a potential thriller. Perhaps your running back needs to have a big game or you need your opposing quarterback to have a quiet day.

Championship History

DEC 30, 2024 (10:45 PM) The Professional Football Federation and it's rich history was established in 1997 in the Tulsa OK area. It began as a scoring league; TD's, Fieldgoals, and Extra Points only. In 1999 the League became a peformance league. In 1998 the league moved from the Tulsa area to the Wichita KS area. In 2001 the league was totally restructured, and it was set in stone as an improved league that would build the foundation for the greatest Fantasy Football League to ever be built. Things went so well that in 2003 we voted to expand to a 16 team league.

If you take home the Paramount Bowl Championship Ring in this league, you have taken with you the equivalent of a NFL Super Bowl Ring. In this league, Fantasy Football is not something in your life, it is a part of your life. In this league it's all about being on top. Second place here is the first looser. The Professional Football Federation is the League that sets the standards for all other leagues. The Professional Football Federation: The Ultimate Fantasy Football Experience.

Last Place Loser

May 30, 2023 (1:21 PM)  We here at the Professional Football Federation like to keep it Professional.  But are we missing out on one of the most fun parts of the game that other League's get to enjoy?  Punishment for the last place team.  From wearing embarrassing shirts to eating 40 pancakes.  From decoration your vehicle in embarrassing fashion to spankings with a paddle.  Each season it could be voted on what punishment would be handed down to the last place loser.  It would for sure keep everyone trying to the end.  Something to think about in the future.
