We heard that the Juice needed some work to cover his green fees since becoming a free man in 2021.  Given the OFFL's long history of supporting retired athletes, we are here to help with trivia provided by O.J. Simpson.  This week's question is "Which team did Jerry Rice play his last career game for?"  The answer, Seattle.

Jerry Rice finished his career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2004.  He did sign with the Denver Broncos in 2005, but never ended up playing a game for them.


This week's question, "In 1992, which team started the season 0-4 and went on to still win their division?

a.  Kansas City Chiefs
b.  Dallas Cowboys
c.  San Diego Chargers
d.  Green Bay Packers


Per the Commissioner's Office, anyone associated with Football Trivia with O.J. Simpson is not allowed to ridicule any OFFL franchise that has the Midnight Riders on their upcoming schedule.  While we were not given a reason, one can assume that the Commissioner's ass it still sore from getting it kicked by the Fighting Fish last weekend!   With that out of the way, this week's trivia winners will recieve a dvd copy of  Jimmy Surin on AGT last year!







 

 

 



 

This week's checklist:
 
1.  It is the responsibility of all owners to update their roster for Thursday games.  The remainder of the roster locks in at 12:59am on Sunday. 
     This includes the Sunday late game players and Monday night players.
 
2.  Available Apps for MyFantasyLeague (MFL)
       a.  OFFL Game Day for PC, GAMEDAY APP. Use League ID 13439.
       b.  MFL Premium for iPhone.  League ID 13439
       c.  MFL Platinum for Android.  League ID 13439
            Side note:  The home page scoreboard at tmes is faster if you like to refresh and drill down on each game individually.
  
3.  Assistant Commissioner Jeff Kalish is Pete's backup in the event of a league emergency (i.e. go on the record, late moves, glitches, etc). 
     If you need to time stamp with an email for debate later--  Jeff's email is jeff.kalish@xsitedigital.com and Pete's is plpurvis@bellsouth.net.
