POCONOS, PA - The Super Merger Fantasy Football League has officially ushered in a new era of leadership, announcing back in April that LJR II, widely known around the league as “Bus", has been appointed as the league’s fifth commissioner in its storied two-decade history.

A longtime pillar of the league dating back to his entry in 2007, LJR II brings a decorated résumé into the role. He is a two-time champion, capturing titles in 2014 and 2016, and has accumulated an impressive 11 playoff appearances, cementing his status as one of the most consistent and competitive managers in the league.

League members described the appointment as both a nod to legacy and a move toward the future, elevating one of the long time competitive forces into a leadership position as the league continues to evolve.

The League would also like to extend special appreciation to IceMan for his six years of service as Commissioner (Kommish), recognizing his leadership, stability, and contributions during his tenure.

ESPN sources: the Chicago Bears are working to finalize a trade that would send WR D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills.

Compensation still is being discussed, and the trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins, but both sides are pushing to make it happen.
