The Franchises

Ten teams, nineteen measured seasons, and the people who ran them. The read leads; the ledgers file underneath.

The ten

IronCity MudslingersIC
six titles
160-110-1 · .592 · 10 playoff seasons · 29,965 points

Six titles, including the only three-peat, and a winning record against all nine opponents when every meeting is counted. Nobody else is close: the next franchise loses two of its nine. The scope matters and the page prints it, because in the regular season alone two of those nine are dead even, Naberhood at 13-13 and Caleboys at 18-18, and December is the whole difference. IronCity is 14-4 in the playoffs. Trades rarely, and when he does it is a deadline rental: fourteen trades, five of them in the preseason. The pattern that defines him is buying the first overall pick. It has changed hands three times in the seventeen drafts whose order survives, he acquired it twice, and he won the championship both times.

there goes the NaborhoodN
three titles
160-111 · .590 · 12 playoff seasons · 29,788 points

The commissioner, and the reason this league has a record at all. He has been party to 37 of the 58 trades ever made: only twenty-one trades in league history did not involve him. He has never finished last in nineteen seasons and has twelve top-four finishes, more than anyone. He has also run the franchise under seven different names across eight spells, including restocking the cupboard, I Made a Poopy and Baby Steps, which tells you something about how seriously he takes the part of this that isn't winning. He was in the room in 1994 and took Barry Sanders at pick twelve.

Washed UPWU
two titles
3 Washed UP Dave St.
143-128 · .528 · 11 playoff seasons · 28,219 points

The long-hold specialist. Drew Brees for thirteen seasons and 176 starts, then Travis Kelce for eleven and 151. In a keeper league this is the purest expression of the format, and he has run the same play twice at the same scarce position, which nobody else has managed once.

Aaron it Out!AO
two titles
4 Aaron it Out! Ed M.
139-132 · .513 · 9 playoff seasons · 28,002 points

Two titles nine years apart, won by completely different teams. Kept Aaron Rodgers for fifteen straight seasons and 154 starts, 155 across all sixteen, the longest anyone has held anyone. The franchise has been the Blues, Gustos, UNDERDOGS!! and Aaron it Out!, and the current name is the only one that admits what the strategy always was.

Reggie'sR
No title
5 Reggie's Dave Su.
139-132 · .513 · 6 playoff seasons · 27,330 points

The best record of any franchise that has never won a title, and level with the team directly above him on this list: both are 139-132 and only points separate them. Has rostered genuinely elite players, Derrick Henry for nine seasons and Josh Allen for six, and converted none of it. Owns the Alligators 21-9 and loses to Ed 9-16, the two most one-sided things about him and neither of them a title.

CaleboysCB
One title, paper era
6 Caleboys Cale S.
136-135 · .502 · 4 playoff seasons · 28,723 points

In the room in 1994, took Jerry Rice in round one, and still here. One of three managers who has never renamed his team, in a league where the average franchise has run three names. Won 2006 in the paper era, before the measured record starts, and has been 0-3 in finals since, which is its own kind of loyalty.

HitmenH
two titles
7 Hitmen George S.
136-135 · .502 · 9 playoff seasons · 27,327 points

One trade. In nineteen years. Two championships, neither of them with the best roster in the league: the 2012 team was fourth in scoring and won anyway, and the 2015 team was carried by a defense. He has never lost a final. Nobody in this league does more with less attention paid to it.

AlligatorsA
One title
8 Alligators Parker M.
121-149-1 · .448 · 7 playoff seasons · 27,000 points

Took over in 2025 from Linda M., who held the franchise for twenty years, the longest single tenure in the league. Inherited the best quarterback this franchise has ever had, Patrick Mahomes. Four last-place finishes and a championship, which is a wider range than anyone else on this page has managed.

SmokersS
three titles
9 SMOKERS Christian A.
116-155 · .428 · 5 playoff seasons · 26,476 points

Three championships and a losing lifetime record, which nobody else manages in either direction. Undefeated in finals at 3-0, and 6-2 in the playoffs on a .437 career: he wins in bursts and disappears between them. Has also never finished last, which is true of only one other franchise and that one is second all-time. A team defense sits second on his all-time list, true of no other franchise, and the 2019 title was carried by one.

Sweep The LegSTL
No title
10 Sweep The Leg Dave H.
104-167 · .384 · 3 playoff seasons · 26,140 points

Took over in 2015 and inherited the hardest job in the league. Last all-time, five last-place finishes, no titles, three finals lost, and a losing record against all nine opponents when every meeting is counted, the exact mirror of the team at the top of this page. He also rostered Christian McCaffrey, the most valuable player in league history, and won nothing with him. The franchise has had four owners and five names; nobody has held it long enough to build anything.

Regular season only, 2007 to 2025: 271 games a franchise. Ties are ranked on win percentage, then points scored, which is what separates the two clubs at 139-132. The Caleboys' 2006 title is from the paper era, and their cell reads the measured count plus that one.

45 pairings have a winner at this scope, of the 45 the league can make, and IronCity beats all nine. Sweep The Leg loses to all nine. The table above is the regular season only, 271 games a franchise; every-meeting rows add to 289 because the playoffs are in them. The diagonal is blank because a franchise has no record against itself.
