Bragging Rights League Rocked by Former Employees Alleging Harrassment, Citing Toxic "Bot" Culture

By CLBB Staff Major Players in Italics A few months after Taylor "Tee" Meachum began working for Rowdy Rhinos in 2018, he settled into a daily routine: he would meet a fellow Fortnite novice in the bathroom during their lunch breaks, he said, to comiserate and weep about their lack of success in the hit video game known as, "Fortnite" . The tears were not due to performance in the job they were hired to do, nor their treatment of other employees. But the belittlement, insensitive remarks and threats spawned directly from Meachum's inability to stay alive in Fortnite, his commitment to jumping from the Battle Bus early, and talent for bringing the team down. This game, and the culture around the game within the Rowdy Rhinos building, ultimately drove Meachum out of Fantasy Football front offices in April 2020 admist a global pandemic with no warm feelings, and plenty of therapy needed.  Though team owner Alex Sloan is not directly connected to any of the verbal...

Bragging Rights Awards through seven years (part one)

After seven years, it’s time to hand out some awards. Greatest team in league history So, there are a few ways to go about it. We could take the easy way out and go by straight statistics (cause that’s how this game is measured), but that’s not as fun. Tyler’s 2014 team still holds the record for points scored in a regular season, with Pat’s 2016 team falling just short of that threshold. One thing I’m not sure anyone had dug up yet is total points on a championship run, each of the seven years. So here’s that: 2013 – I’m Just Here to Pick Romo – 231.20 2014 – I’m Just Here to Pick Romo – 216.68 2015 – Rowdy Rhinos – 288.16 2016 – Stairway to Evans – 195.48 2017 – Cobb’s Bubble Route – 236.3 2018 – FFCA – 219.04 2019 – Bunns of Steel – 233.6 Did anybody remember Sloan’s Tour De Force from 2015? I sure as shit did not. Drops a steaming 157 right on Everybody’s Favorite Information Security Guy in the semis, then follows it up with 130+ in the finals against you...
