Fantasy Football

Steve says you're in trouble if you take MJD

You guys can have all the Jax players you want.  MJD isn't the type of man who would slap someone else's kids or get stabbed by his wife.

Nevermind.  I've got one of the worst spots (number 10). Roughly right in the middle.

9 sucks as well

Thanks to those who participated in the draft tonight, either at Hooters or on-line. It was a fun time with many surprises. For instance Lake only took one criminal, Mark Brunell isn't dead and was some how drafted, and Tim Tebow can not only ride the bench in Denver but also on Riverside Mail's team.

For those who didn't draft live, I closed the poll at the beginning of the draft and the results are that no one will removed at the end of the year based on rankings. Steve is very thankful for this.

On top of being awesome hosts for the live draft, Hooters provided us a draft kit for the evening. With it came some coupons for future group events during the season. Tufsu1 has these and so we decided we will try and plan some league parties for some of the Jag away games.

Remember this is just the beginning of a long season in which you will all again lose to me. So make trades, watch the waiver wire, and more importantly lose to me.

Lose to you until when???  Week 16 when you wet the bed.....

BTW, I did survive after leaving last night.  The anger that was seen was a combination of 7 hours spent in front of a computer doing fantasy drafts and the fact that the cell-phone ringer was turned off - she had called about 20 minutes before storming in the door.

Just in case, next time, I'm going to go ahead and order another Sammy

Whoa, what did I miss?

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

Mrs. NRW felt a little, shall we say, neglected yesterday.  2 drafts at the house and 1 at Hooters - the final straw being the cell-phone that kept going straight to VM.

Sorry I missed the draft all.  I have electricity and an Internet connection and look forward to making trades with everyone.

  Happens to me too!

I admit that I finished very weak last year, but I will redeem myself.

Sorry I missed the draft all.  I have electricity and an Internet connection and look forward to making trades with everyone.

Glad to see you made it through the storm. Were you able to go unscathed?

Thanks for asking.  Yes, I'm fine.  I stayed at my best buddy's house and to my surprise, neither he nor I lost power (though he doesn't have a working internet connection right now and has three children who needed entertaining, hence my missing the draft).  No damage to my house or his.  Oddly, a lot more damage 20 miles to the west in Williamsburg, where I work.  No power in my office this morning.

Best of luck to everyone!!  Football is finally here!

I am cuatiously optimistic about my chances of a reapeat this season.

I am cuatiously optimistic about my chances of a reapeat this season.

Being cautious is for crossing guards, dynamite transporters and girls with roofie addictions. 

I'm throwing caution to the wind, baby.  Read my Text, "THERE WILL BE NO REPEAT THIS YEAR!!" (unless you mean Lucas tanking in the playoffs AGAIN)

I hate to tell you guys that do-gooderly, cautiously optimistically, fence-up-your-rectum-because-you-can't-choose-a-player teams will not win, hell, they won't even be in the discussion come week 10.

They're the guys who are too cheap to kick the IT guy a $50 to unlock all the Roto sites at their work computer, keeping the droid in their pockets while they're in church and allowing the wife to have her 'Family Time' when you should be checking your line-up and scouring the waiver wire. 

I'll be setting the alarm at 3am to sneak in and claim all the good players;  Fuck work, I give them the other 8 months out of the year;  I left my family a note and 4 checks - one for each month that daddy won't be around - and have secluded myself in all that is NFL. 

Roger Goodell pajamas - check.  He will start getting e-mails and video clips from me about how all of your RBs keep lowering their heads into defensless defenders.  Suspended.

Aaron Rodgers magazine - check.  I'll be giving GQ the dl on everything Aaron Rodgers.  They'll be following him around incessantly with white linen pants and V-neck sweater vests until he can't think straight.  (Pun very much intended - especially for those of you who think Sanchez is straight)

Indianapolis Colts neck warmer - check.  Oops.  Let's peruse the Colts draft picks this year:  My Man Peyton in the 2nd (it'll be ok Steve), then we have Reggie 'I-want-Painter' Wayne (I'm sure Lance Moore will get the majority of the catches against the other 42 receivers that Brees is more than happy to throw to).  Next up:  Dallas Clark.  C'mon, like you really wanted a white guy on your team anyhow.

Oh shit, the boss has been standing over my shoulder for the last 10 minutes.  I guess I'll be setting his line-up tonight, too.

^^Watch 'The League', some of the funniest TV for this time of year.

[Lucasjj]

Quite a marvelous rant. A lot of talk, obviously trying to calm your fears before your week one match up. I am not sure how much of that you stole or how much was original thought, but I can tell you that the only thing you said that is even worth listening to is your plug to watch The League.

Other than that I think you should settle down before we have to get hold of your wife and have her take you back home again.
