Frickin' Loaded

Three 6-3 teams and a frisky 5-4 squad allow the Frickers Division to easily win the Interdivisional Championship.

Sonny, Michael & Fredo. The Corleone brothers are bound by blood but separated by distinct personalities and incentives.

Sonny, cursed by primogeniture, is egotistical and impetuous. He has been the alpha for far too long, yet he is unaware that his glory years are now behind him. He is the Ming’s Division. A propensity for infighting; a disrespect for authority and chain of command; Sonny craves an endless battle and isn’t afraid to break the rules or fight dirty. The question this Division faces is, was the Bo-Birdman trade an ill-advised trip to the Long Beach Causeway Tollway?

Fredo, cursed by neglect, is duplicitous and rash. He has been in the shadow of his brothers for most of his life, yet desires the spotlight as photovoltaic panels need the sun. He is the New Riegel Division. A mercurial melodramatic; an emperor with only a pair of socks; when the going gets tough, Fredo gets going. The question this Division faces is, will the family betray the Commissioner again? “I know it was you X, you broke my heart, you broke my heart.”

Michael, endowed with poise, is tranquil and effectual. He is somewhat unknown having not been around the entire time, yet demonstrates ability through performance rather than words. He is the 2022 Interdivisional Champion Frickers Division. Cunning, calm and collected; Michael knows to never hate his enemies because it only affects your judgement. The question this Division faces is, can they win their 4th Brown Jacket in 5 years?
