Fantasy Football Results, Week 8
The Barrage (159.25 pts) defeated Soldiers of Fortune (103.25 pts) The Barrage (159.25 pts) defeated The Man (142.00 pts) Despite a horrendous performance from Donovan “Blowin’ Chunky Soup in Tampa” McNabb, I managed to roll to a 13-3 record, primarily on the back of Tomlinson’s 50+ points. I’m still in desperate need of some wide…

Week 6 The Barrage (170.00 pts) defeated Fifteen by Female (167.00 pts) The Barrage (170.00 pts) defeated El Diablo (A Mexican Fighting Chicken) (161.25 pts) I moved to a 10-2 record two weeks ago, defeating two teams by relatively narrow margins. 15xFemale actually should have beaten me, but for…

Your Honor, I’d Like To Ammend My Previous Statement
What I meant to say was: there’s regular cool, and then there’s flippin’ tank paintball cool. Now, I just need to scrape together airfare for the English countryside. What’s the $ to £ exchange rate these days?

Criticizing “The Critic”
As I sit here watching the NFL on Fox, I find myself wondering: does Jon Lovitz ever get the nagging feeling that he’s reached the lowest point of his career, with his series of Subway restaurant ads? Or does he content himself by rolling around on the large piles of cash The House That Jared…

Right? ‘Cause otherwise, there’s precious little sense to be made of…

Postgame Laughter
The Eagles’ humiliating chokefest would have been far more entertaining to Yours Truly were it not for two incovenient facts: I have Donovan McNabb as my starting fantasy quarterback – I needed more points out of Ol’ Foot Tosser I dislike the New York Football Giants far more than I dislike the Eagles That being…

Note To NBC And Fox
Your NFL transition sound effects (you know, the ones you use every time an on-screen graphic gets updated/wiped) stink. They’re distracting and they add absolutely nothing to the viewing experience. NBC, yours sounds like a massive burst of interference coming in over rabbit ears and Fox, yours sounds like a recording of some bizarre half-second…
