## Draft

The draft was held on September 5, 2021 on Zoom. This was not due to COVID protocol, as Commissioner Jennings issued a strict no-mask mandate before the season. Rather, owners did not care much at this point in the season and did not plan a draft event.

Christian McCaffrey was the #1 overall draft pick, taken by the Fallujah Firehoses.

## Regular season

The Fallujah Firehoses were the No. 1 overall seed going into the DTFL playoffs, as well as the champions of the Hardware Division. They tied with the Yung Jüs with a league-leading 9-5 record, but the Firehoses won the tiebreak of total points scored. Hanging with Hernandez won the Ballroom Division with an 8-6 record. This was often referred to as a "Mickey Mouse ring".

The Dumfries Don Tito Commute had the highest single-game score, with 195.7 points in a Week 13 win over the Don Tito Dollahs. The Clarendon FULL SENDERS had the lowest single-game score with 53.9 points in a Week 10 loss to the Derwood Dusters. The 134.7 point victory is the largest win in DTFL history, and the Dusters held the league record for most points in a game until Week 13.

### Notable trades

##### September 17

Paradis Titans trades: Tyreek Hill, WR and Tee Higgins, WR; Don Tito Dollahs trades: Davante Adams, WR and Chase Claypool, WR

##### September 23

1017 Pooh Shiesty Cove trades: Ty'Son Williams, RB and Terrance Marshall Jr, WR; Don Tito Dollahs trades: Josh Jacobs, RB and Tyler Boyd, WR. This trade was extremely famous for its one sidedness, and earned Dollahs owner Tyler Young a reputation as "trade happy".

##### October 12

1017 Pooh Shiesty Cove trades: Cooper Kupp, WR, James Robinson, RB, Kareem Hunt, RB; Fallujah Firehoses trade: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Terry Mclaurin, WR, Melvin Gordon III. The most memorable trade in DTFL history, as this ultimately cost the Cove a great season due to CMC's injuries and Kupp continuing to create historic production. The perception by many at the time was that the Cove had added their final infinity stone to continue a stellar season. On this day he was granted the nickname "SAE boy" because of his similarity to many fraternity intramural players at state schools. The expected MVP and the actual MVP were traded this day, and both players showed extreme grit throughout the season, while being sneaky athletic and possessing great IQ and intangibles.

##### October 25

Hanging with Hernandez trades: Robert Woods, WR and Aaron Jones, RB; Paradis Titans trades: Davante Adams, WR and Antonio Gibson, RB. This trade was crucial to Hernandez playoff run, as Davante Adams put up a spectacular performance in multiple outings to beat his former team in the playoffs. League members also grew suspicious of the commissioner pump and dump, a phenomenon in which commissioner Jennings would gas up Hernandez players for weeks, slowly but surely before eventually trading them.

##### October 27

Dumfries Don Tito Commute trades: Alvin Kamara, RB and Emmanuel Sanders, WR; Clarendon Pinned Heads trades: Jonathan Taylor, RB and Calvin Ridley, WR. A trade that undoubtedly flipped around the commute season, and a key league winning move.

Don Tito Dollahs trades: Tyreek Hill, WR and Cordarelle Patterson, RB; Yuh Get into it Kim trades: Austin Ekeler, RB and DJ Moore, WR. This trade sparked a lot of eyes toward collusion, ethics and unfair play. After this trade, almost everyone refused to trade with the Dollahs, with notoriety as a massive shark.

##### October 29

Clarendon FULL Senders trades: DK Metcalf, WR and Myles Gaskin, RB; Down-Malone FC trades: Joe Mixon, RB and Tyler Lockett, WR. A costly trade to say the least.

## Playoffs

The DTFL playoffs began on December 15, 2021 with the top 8 teams in the league. No byes were awarded in this format.

## Frosé Bowl

Frosé Bowl I was contested between Dumfries Don Tito Commute and Hanging with Hernandez at Wilson Boulevard Field in Arlington, VA. The game was won by the Commute by a score of 130.2 - 125.7. The tightly contested affair came down to the final quarter of the Sunday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers. Sean Mannion's nonexistent passing abilities prevented Hernandez RB Dalvin Cook from being able to run the football, and the Commute hung on to win the Martindell Belt. The ArlNow Frosé Bowl MVP was awarded to Commute QB Kyler Murray.

## Derwood Bowl

Derwood Bowl I was contested on January 2 and 3, 2022 between Down-Malone FC and Yuh get into it Kim at Duster Field in Derwood, MD. Kim won the game and avoided the Clown Fit by a score of 117.3 to 111.3. The Derwood Bowl LVP (least valuable player) went to Down-Malone RB DeeJay Dallas, who put up a tremendous 0.1 points. He was picked up due to an injury to Down-Malone starting RB James Conner. Down-Malone's rivals, the Derwood Dusters, picked up RBs Dare Ogunbowale and Jaret Patterson before the game. Either player would have won the game for Down-Malone.

## League Awards

League awards were announced at the celebratory Firepan dinner on January 4, 2022.

MVP: WR Cooper "SAE" Kupp (Cove and Firehoses, 25.8 PPG)
