Name: Leo Bacino
Team: Casey’s Crusaders
Years in CSFA: Seven
Occupation: A little of this, a little of that. Let’s put it this way, I make enough to pay my CSFA dues. I used to be the power behind Don’s throne.
Interests beyond football: My true religion is baseball. I also read enough to be in the nerd category (like everyone else in this league). My new rescue dog, Nickolai, is a particular joy. We lost Casey suddenly almost two years ago and Nicky has really filled a void. He is also a Siberian husky and is quite a character.
Why my team will win the CSFA championship: The law of averages.
Why chicks dig fantasy football: I doubt that the “chicks” who dig fantasy football are the kinds we would want to meet.
Now the truly serious questions that separate man from beast.
Wilma or Betty? Sorry, but neither of them ever really did it for me. I always liked Jane Jetson. I think she is the most underrated cartoon babe. I also like the new esurance babe with the pink hair.
Beatles or Elvis? John Lennon said it best: “Before Elvis, there was nothing”.
Secondary question if your answer was Beatles, Paul or John?
Which Stooge are you? Either Steve or Don.
Cubs or Cardinals? Cubs, of course.
Crime or punishment? This doesn’t apply to me because I’ve always been sort of a fair-haired boy. No crime, no punishment.
This is interview number eleven in a series of twelve.

Coaches Interview: Minnesota Northboars
Name: Steven Rodrick
Team: The Minnesota Northboars
Years in CSFA: I had the first pick in the first ever draft of the CSFA. So you could say I’ve been in the league longer than anyone.
Occupation: I sell clothing to old ladies. Sad, but true.
Interests beyond football: reading, long walks in the rain and puppies. Lots of puppies.
Why my team will win the CSFA championship: I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me.
Why chicks dig fantasy football: Who are we kidding? They don’t. We’re dweebs. Yes, you are.
Now the truly serious questions that separate man from beast.
Wilma or Betty? Six, from Tripping the Rift. It’s just wrong.
Beatles or Elvis? These would be musicians that my older brother listened to. Therefore, I must hate them.
Secondary question if your answer was Beatles, Paul or John? I always thought Ringo was the best actor of the bunch.
Which Stooge are you? Well, Given the assumption that Rick is Moe and Don is Larry (no, not Fitzgerald), then I must be Curly or Shemp or whatever one is left.
Cubs or Cardinals? We kinda like the White Sox around here. Cub fans feel entitled to something they haven’t earned, while Cardinal fans are kind of slow, if you know what I mean. And don’t get me started on Yankee fans.
Crime or punishment? Crime is more fun……or maybe punishment is. What is the punishment, exactly? Anything involving fur-covered handcuffs, count me in.
This is interview number ten in a series of twelve.

Coaches' Interview: Cheeba's Homecats
Name:Mike Dexter
Team:Cheeba’s Homecats (Team was named after family pet who has gone on to the great litter box in the sky. How many cats do you know who leave that kind of legacy behind? I’m just saying. That was some kind of pet.)
Years in CSFA: This is my 20th season.
Occupation: Head Football Coach- Cheeba’s Homecats. Moonlight as a pastor of Trailhead Christian Church. It is really the front for an extremist cult, but they haven’t found us yet. Montana is pretty big.
Interests beyond football: Family, church, reading, guitar, hunting, fishing, camping, good coffee, a warm fire, and cheesecake. I believe cheesecake and coffee will be served in Heaven. I don’t have it on strict authority, but I’m confident.
Why my team will win the CSFA championship: This is my 20th season. The stars are in alignment. I just wish I had more on my team. But, I like our chances. As long as my Mannings don’t get hurt, and TO would give me a TD now and then. The Bills wouldn’t make the college top 25. Well, they probably would, but nobody would be really impressed.
Why chicks dig fantasy football: They do? My wife thinks I’m nuts for playing this for 20 years. Are you saying she ain’t a chick? This interview is over.
Now the truly serious questions that separate man from beast.
Wilma or Betty? Ok, I’ll keep answering. Is Dino an option for this question?
Beatles or Elvis? I like both. But have to go with The King.
Secondary question if your answer was Beatles, Paul or John?
Priscilla. Sure sounds better than Wilma or Betty.
Which Stooge are you? I’m Booger, third cousin, twice removed. Sometimes you see me in the background. I’m the one with my finger up my nose.
Cubs or Cardinals? Braves. Rockies. And I really don’t feel sorry for the Cubs. They can keep losing.
Crime or punishment? Redemption my boys, Redemption. Say it out loud to yourself. Redemption. That is the order of the day. Praise and glory.
This is interview number five in a series of twelve. Each coach should feel free to add questions, especially in the second half of the interview which will allow those of us who have already suffered the opportunity for additional suffering. What could go wrong with that? Josh, you’re on the clock for next week.
