BREAKING NEWS: Horsemen of Apokolips fire Vandal Savage

NOVI, Mich. (AP)—Horsemen of Apokolips fired Vandal Savage and put their players on notice, marking the beginning of what could be a busy offseason.

President of fantasy operations Ryan Poteracki also publicly put his entire lineup on the trading block, less than a week after the Horsemen lost in the American League finals to TEAM.

“I’m not going to sit here and make Vandal the scapegoat,” Poteracki said Tuesday. “Everybody is in play.”

“There are no sacred cows here,” Poteracki said. “You lose that sacred-cow status when you lose to TEAM twice in one year. I’m sorry, but there is just no excuse for that.”

Poteracki then followed with, “Vandal will stay part of the Horsemen organization, but in what capacity is still uncertain.”

Under Savage, the Horsemen went 8-2 in the regular season, including handing Beckerman’s Backyardigans Beeyaatches their only regular season loss. However defeats in Week One to TEAM and another in the American League Finals were too much to be ignored.

“Savage and the Horsemen at a whole made several mistakes in the A.L. Finals against TEAM. Tripticon, the Stunticons, the Dinobots, and most of the Myrmidons were all benched in this pivotal battle. Achilles and Supergirl, though killing major members of TEAM, both made mistakes that cost them their lives, and maybe the match,” said a frustrated Poteracki.

Now speculation is starting to swirl throughout the league as to who else is next on Poteracki’s hit list.

Scarlet Witch seems to be the player most likely to be dealt because of her one-year contract, inconsistent play and powerful personality that lifts her teammates and drags them down depending on her mood.

Poteracki finished his press conference with this statement, “Everyone on the Horsemen of Apokolips knows their role on the team, and I will show them EXACTLY what this means in the upcoming offseason.”

Poor Flip, I mean Vandal.

To the Horsemen's Management:
Some movement may be contemplated in the off-season regarding B3 also. We must discuss at the BarBQ. No more 9-1 and 8-2 B.S.; only 10-0 is acceptable!
-B2

Mr. Obama would just like to say that a minimum number of wins is completely acceptable, as long as you make the playoffs or win the nomination. There will be a possible move in the coming months with Hannah and Barack's team, but it is not because of win's or losses.

That actually sounds like something Obama would say. He should try to make his team better by sitting down with the heads of the other FFL teams, but on his terms of course.
