1	Just when you think you've reached the pinnacle of your career with three Fantasy Championships, Nightshade, once again, has company at the top of the mountain. Congratulations are definitely in order for you T-Gal, being that lucky irishman who finds his way to the end of the rainbow! As you stated in your speech, you started out rough in the beginning of the year as you held faithful to your franchise MVP "Gronk." David Johnson was not even drafted, yet he was the league MVP. What did you know at that crucial time that no one else seemed to understand about the free agent pool that early in the season?
	Whether you draft well or not, I've learned that it is always important to scour the waiver wire every week and churn your roster as needed. I had drafted Chris Johnson, so I had my eyes on his handcuffs in Arizona. David Johnson was 3rd-string but, every time that he touched the ball, he was explosive. I added him in week 3 before anyone knew who David Johnson was but reluctantly dropped him the next week because he wasn't getting the touches, and I needed the roster space. He was still on my radar all season, and when Chris Johnson got injured, I knew I had to pounce on David as a potential league winner. Luckily, I narrowly won him in the lotto (3 bids)!
2	You were very helpful in getting your son, Sean Gallagher, into the league in 2014 as the new franchise: White Death. Coming off an admirable FantasyBowl run, notching Most Points, and winning Rookie Of The Year (second in your household), Sean is poised for a bright future! Explain to everyone why Sean is such a solid owner. Is he a "chip off the old block?" Is he a manager that paves his own path in fantasy football? I'd like your insight as a father whose offspring can create quite a "dual threat" in our league going forward.
	Sean is definitely a "chip off the old block." He is just as OCD as I am. We consult constantly on all things fantasy, and (White Death) will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come!
3	Breaking league records has been a staple of your franchise since your rookie year in 2001. There is no enumeration necessary, for your fans know the facts and figures by rote. Even though 2015 was nothing special in this department, one of your dreams is to become the Best Team Of All-Time. Your 2010 & 2011 teams currently sit behind JO-T.B. as spectacular but fell short. It would take an extreme statistical effort to do this. In your opinion, what has to change or improve at the Leprechaun's compound? Are you asking too much of yourself if a lucky sprite does not come a' calling?
	I think I have to continue to keep up a high level of preseason research and make sure I keep up with the ever-changing trends of the NFL. I can't get complacent with my past successes. Every year is different, and you start at square one with everyone else. I have to keep working hard and take nothing for granted!
4	The ENFF league is one of a kind with the enjoyment it provides to owners and fans alike. As past champions have stated, there is no other league that offers multiple offensive schemes, unique suicide and winter tournament side ventures, and I hear, a retro fantasy league starting up in the near future. This will create a "Grand-Slam" style game system within one league. Currently, you have won five events (3 league titles, 2 winter tournaments), but the Suicide Tournament eludes Leprechaun achievement. Upon an analysis review of all six seasons, you are an owner that loves chalk picks. I am interested on the difference in your daring-do league play where you take chances and breed success but you do not take chances with the Suicide Tournament and produce absolute mediocrity. Am I missing something here? [Commish shines hanging light bulb in Tom's face.]
	With suicide/survivor leagues, I try not to be too concerned with saving the better teams for later in the season or worrying about the tie-break points (in your league.) I assess the schedule on a week-to-week basis and just try to choose the team that gives me the best chance of moving forward. I guess this strategy hasn't been very successful so far, but I hope to win the tournament one of these years! (grins)
5	It has been four years since you have sat in your cushiony chair before me. My goodness how you've aged........gracefully! gracefully! (Ahem).....a lot must have changed in your life now that we are in the middle of the twenty-teens decade. What has been the greatest thing that has happened to you in the last four years? If you have to think about it for more than two minutes, I would rather have a compelling anecdote from your youth that the audience would enjoy. Let us know more about the T-Gal we all love!
	Since this is a sports league, I'll share a little story from my sports career. I was a perennial bench warmer throughout my high school career, playing football, basketball, and baseball at Herkimer High (N.Y.). In my senior year of basketball, I was the 2nd string center, but I hardly ever got in to play. Our star center never came out unless we were way ahead near the end of the game, and, at that time, the coach would put in the 3rd stringers. So, I sat game after game until one night, in Frankfort, our starting center fouled-out with fifteen seconds left on the clock (with Frankfort ahead by 1 point.) Coach called timeout and yelled down the bench "Gallagher, get in here!" He huddled us and started shouting orders to everyone...but me. "We have to go for the steal when Frankfort inbounds the ball, so this is what we do, Billy, if you get the steal, dribble down the court and hit one of the wings. Danny and Scott, if you get it, swing it to Billy. Mike, if you get it, hit Scotty and Billy, and go to the hoop. Are we ready? Get your hands in 1-2-3 break!" And then I say, "Wait a minute coach, what if I steal the ball?" Coach closed his eyes, grimaces, and starts rubbing his forehead. Finally, he looks up and said, "Gallagher, if you get the ball, call timeout." The other guys start cracking up at me. So I get mad and think to myself "I'm stealing that ball." Sure enough, the Frankfort player tries to inbound the ball to the guy I'm defending. I jump the pass, steal the ball, and have a clear path to the hoop with a running start! I think "F U coach, I ain't calling any timeout... I'm winning this game! I'm dribbling towards the basket top-speed, no one in front of me, ten seconds left on the clock, easy lay-up, visions of getting carried off the court by the cheerleaders......and then... I dribble the ball off my foot right out of bounds. (long pause) Needless to say, no cheerleaders.
