Revengeance

James Cook had the Grenadiers standing tall at 2-0 after Week 2 of the 2026 BDFL season

G-Men kill 'Cows in the Battle of El Dorado

WATSON, AL - While the video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance brought some attention to the word back in 2013, the BDFL had been using "revengeance" decades prior to Konami. It is actually a real, historical word that dates back to the 15th century. It is a blend (or portmanteau) of "revenge" and "vengeance." Because "revenge" and "vengeance" already mean almost the same thing, linguists consider "revengeance" a pleonasm - a word that uses more syllables than necessary to express an idea and make a statement. The BDFL's meaning for "revengeance" is usually defined as an act of retaliation driven by personal anger, spite, and desire to see someone suffer while at the same time re-establishing justice, balancing the moral scale and punishing crime offenders with divine and legal justice. In the BDFL, revengeance is the ultimate payback at the intersection of personal rage and objective justice. To go a step further into the root meaning of the word, it defines a situation where a victim takes the law into their own hands, not just for personal satisfaction (revenge), but to enact a grand, righteous punishment that a broken system failed to deliver (vengeance) in the first place. In other words, total retaliation because "revengeance" combines the two words for payback, it conceptually implies "extreme, absolute, or ultimate retribution", but not just merely getting even; it is completely dismantling the wrongdoer, so they can never inflict harm again. In Week 2 of the BDFL's 32nd season, the Grenadiers got some much needed "revengeance" on the blacktop at Mineral over the Fieldstown Bellcows (35-19). The home vict'ry comes after last year's humiliating defeat (40-34) on the road in the annual provincial "Battle of El Dorado".

The WORM Rule

Saints kicker Daniel Carlson was the first player plucked in 2026 from the BDFL's WORM Hole 

The BDFL's WORM Hole is now wide open

AUDUBON PLACE - The BDFL's patented WORM Rule will be back for a sixth season to help keep the BDFL as competitive as possible. WORM is an acronym for the Week's One Roster Move. It means each team in the BDFL is free to drop and add one player per week during the season from Week 3 to Week 9. This gives each team seven possible roster moves per season which is half the team which is more than plenty. We start the WORM transactions prior to the Week 3 match-ups with the mindset being, you got to pay a little for bad luck and bad draft decisions to be fair to the rest of the league. The Magic City Mayors have been the most active team to utilize the WORM Rule the last five seasons and have two titles within this span. The Mayors are now the poster child for the WORM Rule. Last season (2025) there was a ton of value found in the ol' proverbial "Worm Hole" with the likes of Johnston, Prater, Tucker, Pineiro, Jennings, Gainwell, Vidal, Gordon, Patterson, Waller, Wentz and others all coming into the league during the regular season to help contribute to BDFL rosters via the WORM Rule. Look for even more WORM value this season when teams need an in-season roster boost. The weekly process is quite simple, just email Iron Hand prior to the weekly starters deadline to make your WORM move. Typically, the weekly WORM Hole window is open each week from Monday at midnight until the starters are due on Thursday. Try not to enter the WORM Hole before it opens since this is dangerous business.
