Giving Birth to PoV

We're back at it again, my dear select-GM's.

Can you believe that this is the fifth year of the Randy Leagues? It all began with Randy's Redemption (2013), a shortened season due to the NHL Lockout, followed by full seasons in Randy's Tri-Hard! (2013-2014), Randy's V (2014-2015) and Randy's Wring (2015-2016). I can't even begin to imagine how many words I've penned over the years, though I believe there is a hard-copy of my works somewhere on my bookshelf, bound by only the finest mahogany leather. I bet the Pope himself would appreciate its scripture.

With that being said, here I am, in the fifth year of penmanship. I therefore give birth to Randy's PoV.

Keep pushin', Rachel Greene.

What is the story behind PoV, you ask? Well, not only is the abbreviation Burg's favourite filter when browsing adult film --

"HEY!" shouted Burgundy, alt-tabbing in shock.

-- but it also celebrates our fifth year of operations. PoV, officially, stands for Party of Five, a great way to symbolize five years of greatness and five years of commitment. It's not everyday that you are able to find five select individuals (i.e. select-GM's) who are willing to put time and energy aside to compete on the greatest stage, all the while maintaining irreplaceable comradery. Therefore, PoV is a reminder to all of us that very few things are more valuable in this world than friendship. Is this the cheesiest writing Mr. Fucking Randy has ever penned? Perhaps. But you know what they say; the stinkiest cheese tastes the best.

I'll take five slices, please.

Unofficially, PoV also stands for Point of View, which is exactly what the Randy Reports are all about. Being the author of the Reports, it is obviously bias because it's mostly based on me (Morpheus Fucking Randy) and my thoughts and perspectives, but I try to incorporate everyone else when time permits. This will be the case soon, as Commissioner Randy will be off to the Orient once again for about a month, so Reporting for the first few weeks of fantasy will be delegated to authorized correspondents.

However, before I depart I will surely be covering many topics, including the annual Draft which took place last Thursday evening. Apologies for not having published anything sooner; my hands were significantly tied up, figuratively and literally, as I am a busy man and I have a soft spot for kinky brunettes. Assembling the five select-GM's was also quite labouring this year (extra Rachel Greene) so my energy levels were too low immediately following the Draft. Not to worry though; Mr. Fucking Randy is poutine-charged and ready to slam out Reports before flying away, and he intends to do it in style and flare. Hell, maybe he'll even get to analyzing some shit and publishing the great annual Combine.

"Aren't Combine results always proven useless to --" said Dick Burns.

ENOUGH DICK.

"That's what she said," said Dick Burns.

Wise words, Dick.
