Sorry for the delay gentlemen, but the final Post Game Buzz of the year is up! After a busy NFL season, I took a much needed week off from doing any work on the fantasy league. Although I did get to order the trophies and will start getting out End of the Year balances. But before we get into that, there are a couple things to go over…
**Quick Hitters**
The 2016 Draft Player Pool
First, I wanted to post the top players returning to the draft for the upcoming 2016 fantasy draft. Now I know the season just ended but for those of you who are already looking ahead to next season, here’s a list of the top players by position. You can view this report here.
The 2016 Scheduling
The 2016 scheduling format has been completed although when you play what team has yet to be scheduled. The teams that you will face next season can be seen here. The actual regular season schedule will come out closer to the start of the 2016 season.
League Awards
Secondly, The E.L.S.I.E. nominees for league awards are up with the award winners being named this Friday, Jan. 8th,2016. You can see the award nominees here. Stay tuned for the big winners… =)
End of the Year Balances
Lastly, I want to remind everyone to please keep in mind that if you are coming back next season and have money coming to you that is less than $50, this balance will be deducted from your league fees next season. It makes absolutely no sense for me to have to ship $15 or $25 on top of paying the shipping cost. Not happening guys…
NOTE: If you are local and I can catch up with you and hand you your End of the Year balance, then this does not apply to you.

As mentioned previously before, a negative balance DOES NOT mean you owe anything, it just means that if you have prize money coming to you (the $500 1st Prize, $250 2nd Prize, $50 3rd Prize, $50 fromE.L.S.I.E. Island or the $50 NFL Confidence Pool Picks), the negative balance will come out of the money owed from there. So in example, if you won E.L.S.I.E. Island and have $50 coming to you but have a negative Bounties & Fines balance of $-10, then your payout will be $40.
