The Dynasty Is Coming to the GNG

Some leagues are created because someone wants a second draft.

This was not that.

The GNG Dynasty Fantasy Football league was born in 2023 because two original troublemakers looked at more than thirty years of GNG history and decided the old monster needed a new shadow. Billy Hayes, ruler of Big Tex’s Pillow Biters and owner of one of the most feared trophy cases in the Keeper league, joined forces with Erran Yearty, the long-suffering, two-time champion behind Pinko Commie Bastards and the disaster engine known as Shartnado, to build something different.

Not a replacement.

An off-shoot. A splinter cell. A younger, meaner branch growing out of the same cursed family tree.

Next week, that branch officially comes to the GNG website.

Dynasty was never meant to replace the Keeper league. That would be heresy. The Keeper league is the ancient machine, the original proving ground, the place where the league’s mythology was forged over decades of trash talk, bad luck, playoff heartbreak, and champions who still bring up victories from years ago like they are engraved on a family Bible.

Dynasty is different.

Dynasty is the off-shoot that grew teeth.

Where the Keeper league gives you history, Dynasty gives you consequences. There is no clean reset. No merciful wipe of the board. Your roster lives on. Your rookie picks matter. Your trades echo. Every overpay, every panic move, every “he’s definitely about to break out” roster spot gets dragged forward into the future. It is fantasy football with memory. It is a league designed for men who already had enough reasons to argue and somehow wanted better ones.

The first season arrived in 2023 with ten teams and a startup draft that felt less like a beginning than a land rush. Everyone believed they were building an empire. Some chased youth. Some chased points. Some chased names. Some stared at the board, convinced they had cracked the code, which is usually the first symptom of not cracking the code at all.

And when the first campaign was over, the opening chapter belonged to Erran Yearty and Shartnado.

That mattered.

Erran was not just one of the founders of the league. He was already part of the older GNG mythology through Pinko Commie Bastards, a two-time Keeper champion with enough history behind him to understand exactly what a new league could become if it was built right. But Shartnado was not Pinko Commie Bastards. It was something... stranger. A new flag planted in new dirt. A team with a stupid name, dangerous intent, and the first Dynasty championship in GNG history.

Every new league needs its first villain, hero, or cautionary tale.

Dynasty got all three in one.

Then came 2024, and the league learned the difference between a champion and a problem.

Shartnado did not fade. It did not cash the first trophy and become a museum exhibit. It came back and won again.

Back-to-back titles change the emotional weather of a league. One championship can be explained away. Luck. Schedule. Injuries. A weird playoff week. A cosmic clerical error. But two in a row? That becomes a shadow. That becomes the thing everyone pretends not to think about while secretly building their roster around destroying it.

By the end of 2024, the young Dynasty league already had a defining dynasty inside Dynasty. Erran had not merely helped create the league. He had seized it.

That is when the story got better.

Because no league worth preserving is just the story of one champion. GNG has never been about clean coronations. It is about the challenger who refuses to go away, the owner who claims he is rebuilding while accidentally contending, the team that wins the points title and loses when it matters, the manager who trades away tomorrow because he cannot tolerate today.

And waiting inside the origin story was the other founder.

Billy Hayes.

Big Tex’s Pillow Biters has long carried one of the most dangerous names in the broader GNG universe. Billy is not some background character who wandered into Dynasty to fill a slot. He is one of the architects. One of the men who helped split this league off from the Keeper tradition and turn it into its own battlefield. If Erran’s early run gave Dynasty its first empire, Billy’s rise gave it the thing every empire eventually meets.

A reckoning.

In 2025, Big Tex’s Pillow Biters took the title.

That championship changed the story from “Erran built a league and conquered it” into something far more GNG: two founders, three seasons, three trophies between them, and a league full of owners now forced to live in the world they created.

That is the kind of history worth putting on the site.

Not because it is old. It is not. Compared to the Keeper league, Dynasty is still a young animal. But it already has the ingredients that make GNG what it is: founders with trophies, contenders with grudges, managers changing team names like aliases, draft picks being treated like currency, and enough transactions to prove that nobody in this league has ever once “just let the roster sit.”

The current league is already moving. Ten teams are back in the machine: Big Tex’s Pillow Biters, The Prodigies, Keep Pounding, Egbuka Matata, Alcoholniks, Puerto Rican Pounders, Shartnado, 2nd Hand Smoke, KeonCounty, and the Coweta Crackas. The 2026 draft is complete. The future picks are already being pushed around the table. The season has not even produced its final shape yet, and the league is already sharpening knives.

That is why this belongs on GNG.

The Keeper league is where the legend began. Dynasty is where the next argument starts.

It carries the same DNA: Billy and Erran, old grudges in new clothes, names that sound like evidence, and a room full of people absolutely certain they are one move away from genius. But Dynasty adds a crueler kind of memory. It remembers who sold the future. It remembers who drafted the bust. It remembers who rebuilt too slowly, pushed too early, held too long, and talked too loudly.

Next week, the site begins opening the record: the champions, the drafts, the teams, the seasons, the rivalries, and the long trail of decisions that will either become genius or evidence. The Keeper league remains the old crown. The original madness. The grand argument that started it all.

But Dynasty is coming.

It brings new blood, old grudges, and a crueler memory.

Erran struck first. Erran struck twice.

Billy answered.

And the rest of the league is still trying to decide whether they are building a future or just decorating someone else’s trophy case.
