Here at American WeatherStar, we pride ourselves on our dedication to roof coatings… but let’s be honest, we’ve got a competitive streak that runs deep, and we needed an outlet. Enter: Fantasy Football. This season, the gloves (and cleats) are off as employees from all corners of AWS have been thrown into the ultimate test—not of roof knowledge, but of football smarts, strategy, and, well, just plain luck.

But before we could get to the draft, we had to handle the most important part—deciding the drafting order. And what better way to do that than with an old-school game of “Punt, Pass, Kick”?

Punt, Pass, Kick: Where Dreams (and Egoes) Soared… or Didn’t

Picture this: the entire American WeatherStar team gathered on a Friday afternoon, ready to showcase some (questionable) athletic prowess. Employees were tasked with punting, passing, and kicking their way to draft dominance. Some of us? Let’s say the NFL won’t be calling any time soon. A few footballs soared majestically into the distance, while others… well, gravity works fast.

We had our share of shining stars who clearly missed their calling in professional sports. But we also had some—who shall remain mostly unnamed (ahem, Mandy)—whose kicks made us wonder if they were secretly aiming for their own feet. And, of course, we can’t forget the employee who took “go hard or go home” a little too literally. They’re still feeling the day’s aftermath, *cough, cough – Joe*, but no worries, he’ll live to fight another game, though maybe not as fiercely!

The day was complete with grilling up some lunch to keep us fueled. Nothing says fantasy draft day like the smell of burgers and hot dogs wafting through the air. Oh, and just for fun, two of our favorite employees decided to settle a bet with a spontaneous 50-yard dash. Let’s say the results were entertaining.
We even had some referees on hand to keep everyone in line, ensuring no one got too carried away with the competitive spirit (or bending any rules). After all, if you’re going to play the game, you’ve got to play fair—or at least try!

Weekly Updates: Don’t Forget Your Lineup!

Now that the dust has settled and the drafting order was set (thankfully, with no permanent injuries), the leagues are in full swing! Every week, an email blasts out to the whole company reminding everyone to update their lineups—nothing’s worse than leaving points on the bench.

But the real highlight of these emails? The league standings. At American WeatherStar, we live for some friendly competition, and we love to celebrate those who score big. And we mean BIG. In each email, we shout out the employee who crushed it that week. But, of course, we can’t resist a little good-natured smack talk, so we also highlight the unfortunate soul who didn’t.

Enter: Champ vs. Chump.

The champ gets bragging rights, while the chump? They get some well-deserved ribbing from the rest of us. It’s all in good fun though—until it’s your turn to be the chump!

Let the Season Begin!

As we dive deeper into the fantasy football season, the stakes are rising, and the competition is fiercer than ever. At American WeatherStar, we’re serious about two things: roof coatings and fantasy football. And if you happen to be both an NFL superfan and a roof coating connoisseur, then you’re in good company here.

Let the games (and the trash talk) continue!
