Durham, NC.   Today marks a dark day for the fantasy football world, not to mention the state of sportmanship in general. This reporter has uncovered a plot by a particular fantasy football team owner to dominate his league, not by the skill of his team but by the thickness of his wallet.

This reporter has come across information regarding a FleaFlicker.com online fantasy football league where one of its contestants will apparently stop at nothing to better his team. In the preceding picture taken last Tuesday, we see Keith Frost of Durham, NC and Daniel Engler of Evansville, IN exchanging money. Keith Frost is not an actual member of the league, but as this reporter's sleuthing uncovered, Keith honeymoons for a stat-tracking web service start-up... conveniently the same stat-tracker powering FleaFlicker's fantasy football scores. Dan Engler had officially lost his Week 3 game to the upstart "Phillystyle" team, and this was simply too much for Dan. Having previously met Keith through his brother and bitter rival, Joe Engler, Dan flew to Durham and recommended that Keith re-examine the week's stats, because he believed they were "in error." Keith Frost has since corrected the scores, which now makes Dan a winner of his Week 3 game by over 5 points. It is also believed that Dan brought some of his "friends" from the TNA Wrestling League for backup if bribery failed.

Dan Engler and his brother face off in Week 4, both of which now have 3-0 records. Dan was overheard saying that he would love to have this battle of the undefeateds, which has seemingly been made possible to Keith's erroneous stats. It will be most interesting to see the outcome to this game. Will it be a clean game? Or does the now-exposed fraud of a coach, Dan, have more tricks up his sleave?
