After a last place 2008 finish, the Fourskins were tailgating in the D-League parking lot before a tremendous 2009 rebound avoided a packed D-League coolerwith fellow owner Morton III. A ballsy first overall pick of Maurice Jones-Drew keyed an excellent draft which also saw Aaron Rodgers fall into their 2nd round lap.
Following a season opening loss to DDD, the 'Skins would go on a seven-game win streakand had their boot on The League's collective neck. Despite a 7-1 record and commanding lead in total points,"the skince" put on his lab coat and began trading his team into a fantasy football Frankenstein. A highly criticized trade of Ray Rice and Antonio Gates for one-TD wonder Steven Jackson never panned out for Coach Morton IV and perhaps took the edge offhis top seeded playoff squad. The 'Skins were still able to make a 3rd championship appearance but eventually fell by four points, inflaming "Buffalo Bills of The League" propaganda. Vowing to "play with his shirt tucked in" this season has Coach Morton's D-League meter fluctuatingbut "the skince" should remain on sure footing in The League, pending retraction of his misstatement. An agonizing keeper decision has consumed much of Coach Morton's offseason as the deliberation of Aaron Rodgers vs Maurice Jones-Drew comes down to draft day. Another championship run may prove tougher in 2010 as the Fourskins hold a late-round draft pick and will likely make the wrong keeper decision.
