Team Owner Profile: Tony Le

It seems only appropriate that after highlighting an original owner in LFP FFB we focus in on one of our newest owners, and specifically one who has enormous shoes to fill.  We all remember the incredible story of Jesse "Juice" Martin's wild card playoff run last year, taking the Super Bowl down to the last offensive play run where a Pittsburgh sack and fumble recovery would etch "Hochuli's Gun Show" on to the league trophy forever by a mere 1.75 points, the closest margin of victory imaginable.  Now Tony Le's "Hail to the Chefs" looks to assume control of the franchise that won the third season of LFP FFB's existence.

Tony kicked his Juice-like season off by phoning in his draft via Skype, exactly the way Jesse would have done it were he still in the league.  Next, Tony went ahead and drafted the key pieces of Hockuli's Gun Show that won the title last post-season in Larry Fitzgerald and the Pittsburgh defense, bold moves but proven ones to try and set the franchise up for continued success.  After five weeks in the league the Hail to the Chefs owner sits with a 3-2 record, 2-1 in his division, and holds a one game lead on the East Division wild card in second place.  We were lucky enough to find Tony wandering the LFP FFB headquarters, apparently lost, looking for the taco bar, and stopped him to get his impressions heading in to week 6.

LFP FFB:  Hello Tony, great to have you at the LFP HQ.
Tony Le:  Who know how to stir up the taco beef?!
LFP:  Excuse me?
TL:  Let do the next week Taco Tuesday lunch on the 20th.  I bring shredded chess and lecture!
LFP:  That sounds wonderful Tony, I'm sure we will all mark that on our calendars.  But let's move on...  What kind of pressures are on you in your first season in the league?  Not only are you taking over the franchise of last year's championship team, but you also now become only the second Asian team owner in league history... and start an interview like that...
TL:  Well taking over Juice's team isn't a big deal, because I'm better than him at pretty much everything.  Being Asian though I really get to see what a racist asshole you really are.
LFP:  Clearly something's lost in translation there, it sounded like you said I'm a racist asshole.
TL:  You are.
LFP:  I'm sorry, can you speak English?
TL:  I'm going to Bruce Lee, one-inch punch through your chest if you don't shut up.
LFP:  Right...  You're off to a very strong start in the league, over .500 and in second place in your division behind Adrian Peterson's team.  That's incredibly impressive for a first time player and a first year owner, what do you expect from your guys in the coming weeks?
TL:  My team hasn't done well every week, but we're still doing well so I feel good about them.  I think we'll continue to improve and start dominating everyone in the league, if only because Brett Favre is the greatest player in the history of football.
LFP:  On that note, will you ever start the aforementioned "greatest player in the league," or is he destined to miss every fantasy start while never missing a professional start?
TL:  He will start!  I'm just waiting for the right time.
LFP:  That's very martial-artsy of you.  Speaking of which, what was it like to lose the first every "Ninja Bowl" to Jason Wong?  That's what we've called it around the league office, the "Ninja Bowl," clever huh?
TL:  I hate you.
LFP:  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult your honor.
TL:  ...
LFP:  Thanks for coming in.

Mr. Le is clearly a proud team owner and confident in his team, if not his ninja star throwing ability.  This week he squares off with J.J. Didier and the Lynnhood Curbstompers, an original league owner, but Tony promises to sneak up from the shadows and kill them with precision and no mercy.  Just kidding, but seriously.

See you all next week, over and out from LFP HQ.
