    First off, the bad: 2007 Week 2 Fantasy Football Results League: Fulford’s Heroes Deep Fried Turkey defeats Hiphopopotamuses, 114.30 to 106.40. *sigh* Jemaine’s luck runs out in the second week. I forgot to start Randy Moss who would have netted me another 15 points and secured a win. Them’s the breaks, I guess. Next, the…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 1

    I haven’t had much time to post today (I’m working on a bit of something secret with a few other WordPress hackers), but I thought I’d take time to let y’all know how our Conchords did this past weekend. League: Fulford’s Heroes Hiphopopotamuses defeat HOUSE HUNTER, 155.65 to 92.70 League: RSGFFCL Rhymenocerouses defeated The Steel…

  • Flights Of Fantasy

    I’ve just arrived back home from my second (and final) fantasy football draft for this season and, well, I’m not so sure how I’m going to do this year. While I was able to ride on the back of Ladainian all last season (until he failed to show up the first week of the playoffs,…

  • Ever Have One Of Those “Neo/’Whoa!’” Moments?

    Like, say, for instance, you’re watching Wednesday night’s Lost and you casually note that the ringleader of the gang of Phuket thugs that beat the crap out of Jack just happens to be played by none other than James Huang who was a class ahead of you in school and was your football, wrestling and…

  • In The Wake Of The Colts’ Historic Win This Evening Which May Well Have Been History-Making As Well As Historically Historic, I Have But One Question

    Why did the NFL hand out the Lombardi trophy on Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge? FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: What was with Prince’s rendition of Robin Hood: Men In Tights‘ Robin Hood/Marian of Loxley “love song behind a backlit sheet”? And how many calls to the FCC will it generate?

  • This Post Is Intended With Every Bit Of Sarcasm And Cynicism A Body Can Deliver

    Witness the full majesty of the Philadelphia Eagles’ fight song: [audio:fly-eagles-fly.mp3] Bwahahahah. Schadenfreude in full effect, baby. ‘Course, the obvious downside is I have to listen to whining about two suspect 4th down calls for roughly the next 8 months, but hey, it’s worth it. Audio from The Four Squeezins.

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 13

    Soldiers of Fortune (192.25) defeated The Barrage (153) Well, that’s it, folks. The Barrage went down in a blaze of glory. I’m a little gratified that all the other division winners lost as well. I think it was just a bit of a freak week; in fact, there was only one higher-ranked seed that won…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 12

    Bumskis (163.75 pts) defeated The Barrage (151.75 pts) The Barrage (151.75 pts) defeated CTRL-ALT-DELETE (135.25 pts) As I predicted, I did indeed have trouble with the bumskis, primarily because of the loss of Donovan McNabb. Had I had a quarterback to equal t.b.’s Drew Brees, I belive I would have had a shot at beating…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 11

    The Barrage (196.50 pts) defeated Team V (140.50 pts) The Barrage (196.50 pts) defeated TO’s Cry for Help (143.75 pts) I pulled out another two wins in stellar fashion – while losing McNabb for the season to a torn ACL, Tomlinson and Chad Johnson both decided to go off and score me the vast majority…

  • Fantasy Football Results, Week 9

    Self Destruction (150.50 pts) defeated The Barrage (147.25 pts) Butt Stompers (169.25 pts) defeated The Barrage (147.25 pts) Well, I went and did it – I allowed emotion and affinity for my hometown team to cloud my judgement, and oh, it cost me (as you can see). Had I simply kept my head down and…
