The season began at the Elmhurst Public House with the draft. Ed Hayes, Schrutes, took over MGD and Towering Inferno, David Speedwell and Matt Cunningham, for the Bulldogs. For the draft, a new draft setup, no trades after week 11 and tie breakers for the Championship and Toilet Bowl will be total reserve points. Cbssportsline will handle the add/drops and trades. The division winners were, E-Strange Brew, C-Texans and W-Bruise Brothers. Owner of the year - Texans, MVP - Tom Brady and Rookie of the year Adrian Peterson. SB XVIII winner was the Beer Guzzling Idiots. The banquet was also at the EPH and plans for the 20th season are underway. At the banquet new FFL89 HOF elected Michael Irvin and Marshall Faulk. There are now 21 players and one FFL owner, Donald Mueller, in the FFL89 HOF.

The 20th draft began with Marc Lucente, Florida, and David working. Red, White and Blue dropped out and Mark Stasch took over and renamed the team Shamrocks. The league now has 15 owners with Michael Lucente joining brother Marc, Warthogs. The draft was held at Mancini's in Berkley (new owners and name). A permanent draft board was made and will be used for now and many years to come. We drafted for 10 rounds and took a break for more pizza and beer. First drafted, Schrutes, Frank Gore, RB SF 49ers and last was Lynx, Jason Hanson, PK Detroit. Rule changes were, added more pickup nights(1 to 3), owners protected own players on CBS in set lineups and Super Bowl rosters are increased from 18 to 20.

Rule changes are, 1 point for 20 yards receiving, new draft serpentine will now be from rounds 1-18, draft order for 6-12 will be as to when eliminated in the playoffs and 3 or more teams, non division, will use H/H between teams involved. Three owners missing and they were David, Marc L. and Mike L. Italian beef, Sausage and peppers was the right touch. The Pub had more than enough room for the draft. No owner changes for 2009.
