COMMISSIONER'S NOTE
Jfon has been a staple of the MOF since Season 9. His claim to fame is coaching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! We value Jfon's dedication and prowess — without him we wouldn’t be the league we are today. Welcome to the Hall, Coach — you deserve it!
HALL OF FAME SPEECH
"Wow, well first I would like to start off by thanking some people. First my family, for allowing me to be a part of the MOF for over 10 years now. Sacrificing things to allow me to play Madden at certain times is harder than one may think, especially over such a sustained amount of time. Also the Commish himself, Dypko. Without Jeff there would be no MOF, and the dedication he has had to continue to strive for MOF greatness is unparalleled.
I can’t believe I have made it into the Hall of Fame — not something I, when I joined the league way back when, ever thought about. The way Madden leagues go, you never know how long it will last or if you will continue to be a part of it. But it didn’t take long for me to realize MOF was different. From the friendships you make, to the details of the league, to the records, to the radio shows, MOF is just a different atmosphere to play Madden in.
Playing Madden has always been one of my top hobbies, but the friendships I’ve made and the conversations I’ve had about the game itself — and life — will be what I always remember and cherish the most. Won’t be able to name them all, but guys like Pauly, Jeff, Dre, Quincy, Trev, Rob (sexy wife), Josh Nelson, John Healy, Woody, Mike Sweeney, Vinny C, William (Storm), Eddie G — it could go on — and some of the newer guys like Leet and Roclo. Getting to know these guys and build a community to talk Madden, life, women, whatever... to me is what it’s all about, and what makes me thankful for that day long ago when I stumbled upon the MOF website and changed my life.
I would like to thank Jeff and all the league members that voted for me. My record may not be what I would like it to be, nor in some eyes maybe even worthy of being on the ballot, so I appreciate that the work I have put on the field — not all bad, by the way — and especially the work in the past 4 or 5 years I have done for the MOF outside of playing has helped me become the Hall of Famer I am today.
But with that said, I still feel my greatest MOF days are ahead of me, and I will continue to push on to one day hold that Dolan Trophy while continuing to help Commish Jeff and the staff make MOF the Best Damn League. Period.
Thank you! Go Bucs!"
