About Us

 Well hey there, Internet!

You may have just stumbled across this page by accident and are wondering, "What the heck is this?" The short answer is that this is a joke that's gotten out of hand. The long answer is below.

In the year 2021, a bunch of old friends got together and said, "Hey, let's do a fantasy football league this year!" The commissioner of that league (yours truly) had been watching way too much Ted Lasso, and while hung up trying to think of a name for the nascent league, chose the name Barbecue Sauce as a nod to the show. Hence, the league called Barbecue Sauce was born.

After week one of the 2021 season, the commish thought, "Wouldn't it be funny to write weekly recaps of the fantasy football action in the voice of Ted Lasso?" Having oodles of free time and energy, that's what happened. Since then, weekly recaps were posted to the ESPN fantasy message board, which generally seemed to be enjoyed by the players. 

The 2022 season rolled around and the commish went to the league history to try to find all of the hours of work that had gone into the previous weekly recaps, only to find that they had been lost to the ether of the Internet. Upon vote of the league, the blog was set up to capture the illustrious league history in a way that would stand the test of time and ESPN's data policies. This brings us to where we are now, with a whole separate website to supplement the league shenanigans. 

So there you have it, the life and times of Barbecue Sauce. I hope you've enjoyed your stay in our little corner of the Internet. And if you haven't, that's fine, too! Just click away, leave this place but a distant memory of that one time you spent three minutes reading something you wish you hadn't. Everything will be okay in the end.

Hugs & Kisses,

The Commish

Weeks 5 & 6 Recap

 Hey, everybody! Long time, no see! Boy I tell you what, sometimes the time just gets away from you, and that's what's certainly happened over the past couple of weeks. We have gotten through two full weeks of fantasy football, and where has your stalwart commish been? I wish I could say that it's because I was out there just having too much fun and time was just flying, but the reality of the situation was... I was caught up doing normal adult life stuff and I forgot. I do apologize to y'all. So instead of our normal recap of the match ups, let's go through what all you fine team managers have been up to over the past couple of weeks! AdamBlowsGoats-HaveProof had both the thrill of victory and the agony of players on bye week over the past couple of weeks. Derrick Henry was the star of week 5 for ABG-HP and the W they brought home that week, rushing for over 100 yards with a couple of receptions for icing on the cake. Week 6 was a bit of a scramble between the bye

2023 Pre-Season Message

Hey there, everyone!  Do you believe in a thing called fantasy football? Because I sure can't believe that it's time for the 2023 season already! Now, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that we are now on our third straight year of playing in this league together, and I cannot believe that I have been privileged enough to serve as your commish for all this time. From tolerating the lightning-speed drafts to you folks actually reading all my silly recaps, I am just humbled that y'all keep showing up year after year.  So before we all start getting a little competitive and potentially letting the NFL ruin every Sunday we have for the rest of the year, I just wanted to take a moment to say I appreciate y'all. I love this league like Netflix loves making live action anime remakes that no one wants. I guess it's just a passion. See you on the field! Hugs & Kisses, Your Commish
