Tommy Rego was brought into the league as one of two managers with the blessing of Skip Bettencourt. Purported to be a happy guy, Skip said he would thrive in the newly formed Bush League Division. Slept on by most of the league after the draft and during the regular season, Jackmerius Tacktheritrix finished the season strong, grabbing a first round bye into the playoffs. However, after that week off, Tommy's team cooled off and he finished the season 4th. What happened to his new team, Hingle McCringleberry, in 2023? He again finished the season in 4th! Will he be able to get over that bump in 2024? The Commissioner is rooting for him.

Mike Caruso once served with the Commissioner in the United States Marine Corps. After hearing about the formation of the Bush League Division, MikeC wanted in. He quickly made a name for himself with forward thinking trade offers. He was extremely vocal about his hatred for the one year trial of the "Trade Committee". After a solid regular season, his team let him down in the playoffs. Unbelievably, he mirrored that exact season again in 2023, losing early in the playoffs again. Are we looking at another early exit from the playoffs in 2024?

Dario Candelaria also served with the Commissioner in the United States Marine Corps. A dedicated fan of the podcast first, Dario joined the league after hearing about the Bush League expansion division. Dario quickly gained the love of the entire TCT universe with his participation on the podcast and even traveling from his home in Pennsylvania to attend the Live Draft Order Party. All that love couldn't help his team though. His record seemed to get worse and worse with every team name change. Finally settling on a facepalm emoji, Cande seemed to finally accept his fate. 2023 was a lot more successful from his rookie campaign. He was able to push into the playoffs but lost in the first round, ending the season in 6th. Cande will look to improve again in 2024.

Kevin joined the league for the initial season of the Champion's Division. The Last Mohican could not seem to figure it out, finishing in the bottom half of the division for the first four seasons. After a 9th place finish in 2018, Kevin was dropped down to the Backroom Division. The Last Mohican seemed to find the answer to their problems in 2020, winning the Backroom Division championship. Kevin elected to hold his team down in the division to defend the belt for another season. This proved to be a mistake. In 2022 Kevin found himself getting flushed down to the Bush League Division. Last Mohican should have been cautionary tale to all those who elect to defend the title. The first manager to play in all 3 divisions, Kevin again found himself in the cellar of the Bush League in 2023. 2024 can only get better. Right?

Mike Quinn was the second guy Skip Bettencourt brought into the fold in 2022. After a questionable draft, Mike was able to pull off multiple underdog wins.

In 2023 Fuel Man struggled along in the bottom of the league finishing 7th in the regular season but the Toilet Bowl Champ after the playoffs. He will return for 2024 in the hopes of redemption.

A TCT OG, Chace was one of the first managers in the league in 2015. After finishing in the bottom half of the division in 3 of the next 4 seasons, The Chubby Chacers were dropped to the Backroom Division after the 2019 season. In 2020 Chace led his newly named Backroom Bandits to the championship match, where he fell to Manager Kevin Macedo. The 2nd place finish, however, was enough to elevate him back into the Champion's Division for the 2021 season. Back in the top division, The Chubby Chacers III posted an impressive 10-4 record, finishing 4th. He followed that up in 2022 with a Toilet Bowl Championship, earning a re-flush to the Backroom. He hit rock bottom in 2023, dropping even further to the Bush League. You can hear Chace weekly as the co-host of the Commissioner's Desk Podcast.
