(from l-r) Reginald, Thaddeus and Frank shortly before the first-ever draft of the T.G.I.Sundays Fantasy Football League.
Started in 1965, at the midpoint of the Vietnam War, a triumvirate of men, sullied and soured by the non-interactiveness of the game of football, decided to take matters into their own hands. They formed what would become the world’s first fantasy football league, also know as the T.G.I.Sundays Fantasy Football League. Seeing that more fun could be had rooting for your own personal team instead of just watching the games, these visionaries were bent on creating a league of “GMs” complete with a draft and scoring system. The game of football and competitive betting would never be the same.
After the passing of the three founders, the league changed hands of several commissioners, each one faithfully fulfilling his duty to the role. Then, in 2003, a young up-and-coming commissioner by the name of AJ Cadman took the reigns of the league, and from there it has seen many years of growth and flourishing.
JV’s first studio in 2009 where he began the one-man production.
At the start of the 2009 season, GM John “JV” Vasquez, using his technical knowledge of audio and transmogrification, started the RMDL Fantasy Football Podcast. Consisting of weekly recaps, predictions, news and funny sound effects, JV brought the league into a whole new level interactivity and professionalism. Now branded the Ladies and Edelman Fantasy Football Show, the podcast has been updated with a more contemporary feel for the modern age.
