Don't make any trades in your fantasy football league until - at the very least - the first week of the season is over. Go through the first two weeks, see how things play out, and then think about making a move. Matt Hasselbeck & Larry Johnson for Tom Brady & Cadillac Williams This was basically a two-for-one deal, as Williams was going to be dropped from my team as soon as I could. What was my motivation for this one? First, after reflecting on my draft, I came to the realization that Johnson wasn't going to be the LJ from two years ago. Secondly, after several years of playing with second- or third-tier quarterbacks on my roster, the game had really ...
If John McCain is going to continue to run that ridiculous "Obama: celebrity" commercial, why aren't the Dems just running clips of McCain on SNL or the Daily Show? The man hosted freakin' Saturday Night Live - typically reserved for dignitaries like Dane Cook or Shia LaBeouf.
"Schadenfreude" n. Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. [German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr?, happy).] On a side note: Phils sweep Brewers to grab share of wild-card lead Brewers fire Yost
2 weeks, 2 chickens, 2 Packer wins. Do I need to say anything more?
I put up a mediocre round (at best) last weekend, but somehow found myself atop the standings in the Buchs Cup Championship Series. See, it all comes down to improvement - and I happened to play that round slightly less worse than this guy. So it all comes down to this. If the weather holds out Saturday, we'll be playing. If not, given the personal schedules of the various participants (2), and the looming deadline of season's end... it may already be over. I'm clearing out space on the mantle for the trophy today.
The 2008 NFL season is 4 days, 16 hours old - and my fantasy season is already over. After making a blockbuster trade with this guy, sending a hobbling Matt Hasselbeck and Larry Johnson in exchange for reigning MVP Tom Brady, I had to restrain myself from sending the "I just won the league" email to my friends. After Brady went down with a season-ending injury in the first quarter Sunday, I'm done. I'll have a shot at picking up Kurt Warner or Matt Cassel (no relation to Sam) to replace him, but I'm effectively done. I'm reminded of the 2005 season where I made a blockbuster trade for Jamal "The Curse" Lewis, who was just coming off a 2,000 yard rushing ...
Short version: Kettle Hills Golf Course kicked my ass. Worst round of my life, period. I've completely regressed. My swing has gone haywire, I haven't hit a decent tee shot in a month. My iron shots are tentative. I've lost all the confidence I had built up after an off-season of lessons. And I've lost the lead. We've got a few weeks left in the Buchs Cup Championship Series, and I have some ground to make up. What once looked like an insurmountable lead has been chipped away at by this guy, and now he's taken back the top spot. Don't read this as a concession speech. An hour at the range sometime this week and I'll be back ...
