DadBods
Formed in 2019 Dadbods a group of 18 friends (number would’ve been more than 18 but league limited to 18 man roster) as with most rookie teams formed with not much experience had some learning curves. The team saw it had an uphill battle to climb and needed to adjust accordingly to the league. Keeping the roster the same but cutting down the number of players saw an improvement in covid shortened 2020 season.
In 2021 Dadbods rebranded as NO Limit (autobody located in multiple all over NY and other states) saw them take the next step to making playoffs (Saturday night playin still counts). For 2022 they are dropping the NO limit brand and returning back as DADBODS if the trend continues they should make playoffs and make some noise.
The no guest rule will definitely help this team as they have 3 new guest rookies who should add a lot more talent than what Dadbods had previously.

3 Questions with Captain Parvesh Kandhela:
1) Dadbods have been around for a few years now, No longer considered a rookie team. What are you’re expectations for this new year?
This year is no different than any other for us. Every year we go into the season trying to improve upon the last and have fun while doing it. Winning and loosing is part of the game its going to happen if one wins the other has to lose. As long as you learn something from both and improve from it, I’d consider it a success. So with three years under our belt, we have definitely learned a lot and are ready for the next step, which should be more than just a Saturday nightplay in game I’m thinking deeper into the playoffs. It’s going be tough this year all the teams are looking solid this year no easy wins anywhere.
2) What do you expect to be your teams strength in 2022? And what aspect of your team you feel needs to be worked on?
Our strength this year compared to last will be our lineup. Not only do I feel like its improved vastly from the past seasons its also shorter. Not having to bat 12 people every game will turn our lineup faster and give our bats more opportunities to put up runs. Only part of the team that we could work on is possibly our outfield. We lost a big part of our expected outfield recently due to additional work responsibilities, working on to fill that hole for now once that is fixed we should be solid.
3) With 56 point cap and 9 team, how do you think the competition will be and who are your biggest threats?
The competition should be the same as last year every spot open for grab until the final game of the season is played. Everyone is bringing in a team thats locked and loaded just waiting for April 24 to get here to tee off, except for dynasty. They gotta wait an extra week. They have a bye first week. Which is the only thing that kinda sucks was wishing another team would have formed to avoid the bye week fiasco.
