Anyone else in pdxradio land in a league? My draft is tonight, where I plan to make up for my poor showing last season!

I play year round (baseball, basketball, football) and have done so for about 10 years. I'm in a league with the same players every year. I had the third pick and ended up with Shaun Alexander, after LT and Stephen Davis were taken.

I have the 6th pick this year:-( smack dab in the middle of out 12 man league. Football is the one I do each year with the same group, I've been doing basketball on my own, as most of my friends only like football and baseball. I got burnt out on baseball, way to much work during the season, football is the best, each game really means something during a 16 game season!

The part I hate about football is getting bad matchups. I usually end up with the second most points scored for the week, yet end up with a loss.

The guy in our league got a gift at number 6. Our draft went:

LT
Stephen Davis
Shaun Alexander
Frank Gore
Rudi Johnson
Larry Johnson

When number 5 said Rudi Johnson, the guy in number 6 said, "was that Rudi you just said?" with a big smile on his face. Keep in mind, LJ hadn't signed yet...but he was a steal at number 6, because had he been signed at the time, he might have gone at 3 or 4.

I am in all the fantasy leagues with the same group of guys I have been pal-ing around with, talking sports on IRC YEARS ago ... we all have our own big message board and we do all the leagues together.

I am the commissioner of the football league. I run it as a keeper league, we get to keep three players off of our roster each. Makes it more interesting ...

Mine were: Shaun Alexander, Maurice Jones-Drew (whom I drafted in the LAST round last year, a total coup on my part) and TJ Houshmandzadeh.

One guy has LT, Larry Johnson and Carson Palmer as his keepers, and he has yet to win the damn league. Go figure.

I like the keeper league idea a lot, for some reason the guys in my league are not so into it. I picked up M.J.D this year in the second round. Even though I drafted 6th this year, I feel pretty good about my team, it's much more balanced this year than in previous years, maybe because I was sober when making my picks? I think the guy who took Joey Harrington in the second round had had a few too many at that point.

Friends don't let friends drink and draft!

Here are my picks from last night:

1. (6) Joseph Addai
2. (19) Maurice Jones-Drew
3. (30) Tom Brady
4. (43) Roy Williams
5. (54) Marion Barber III
6. (67) Andre Johnson
7. (78) Kellen Winslow
8. (91) Devery Henderson
9. (102) Baltimore
10. (115) Adam Vinatieri
11. (126) Jerricho Cotchery
12. (139) Alex Smith

Do they have fantasy football with just CheerLeaders.....I'd be more likely to play then!

Pdxdc - good job with your running backs, that's the bread and butter of a fantasy league. Heck I almost won the league last year despite Shaun Alexander missing half the season and ineffective when he WAS in ... Maurice Jones-Drew kept me in it.

Quarterback play is the most overrated aspect of a fantasy league IMO. Just don't get a guy who makes mistakes and you're set. Yeah Peyton Manning is the obvious exception, but there's only one of him. Heck I rolled with Jon Kitna last year ...

He didn't get great running backs, where's Larry Johnson or LT? You still might do well, you just never know.

Oh it doesn't hurt if you had gotten Peyton Manning, oh wait a minute I got him.

lets start a pdxradio fantasy league

I'm takin odd's....Herbie will be the last one picked! I'm hoping Herb is on the other team.....he'd be easy to defend against....he'd always go right! LOL

That would be sweet, we could do one thru yahoo, if you are serious, I can set one up. 8 - 10 teams would be ideal.

Nevermind, looks like I misread the post about starting a pdxradio league, I thought you were suggesting a fantasy football league with members from pdxradio.

Ya me to.....

Go for it the post was for our own fantasy league set it up and put password in this forum I am in

I'll set it up in a few hours, until then, what would people like; a live draft, or an automated one? It might be hard to get everyone together for a live one, but I'm up for whatever sounds good!

My fantasy football team is a bit stinky this year. I was at work and my computer drafted in my absence. Since it is my favorite sport, I like to play fantasy baseball as well. If you kind folks are thinking about a "radio league" -- count me in.

ok, I set up the league. I picked 'autodraft' there weren't any good times left for a live draft. If you want, after registering your team, you can pre rank your players. I'll initiate the autopick 2 days before the season starts (next Thursday)

go here to register: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/
choose "join league" (on the right hand side, the only in blue/green)

ID: 663027
Password: 671971 (my birthday, I expect presents!)

This is great, we already have a couple of people signed up! If by Monday there aren't enough of those from the pdxradio realm to sign up, be sure to let your friends know about the league, it would be cool to have at least ten teams (max is 12)

As added extra incentive to join, the winner of the league will be awarded the fisrt ever PDX Radio Nation Bowl trophy!

Hah dare I ask what the trophy resembles?

Taxidermy? Bowling? Tanya Harding?

If you like to see a monkey playing a banjo, then you are in luck my friends!

Schweeeeeeeeet!

It'd look outstanding on the mantle ... (if I can get the kids to stop laughing!)

If they make trophies that can sing, I'll see if I can get the monkey to sing "Sunshine on my shoulders" just to punish anyone who would have the nerve to beat me!

LOL @ everyone! Thanks for the invite.

It would be best if we could have an even number of teams. If we have an odd number, each week, one of us will have a bye week (we are in a head to head league) If any of you know anyone who might want to join, please let them know about the league.

Cheaters will be punished! no making a new team, and trading all the best players to one of your teams! The monkey of pain and misery shall visit your home if you plan to tamper with the natural order of things!!!

C'mon folks, this is easy and fun. Hey, Darktemper, are you in?

Man.....I am a complete football ignoramus! Oh...I played it in Highschool and watch the occasional superbowl and everything but that's about it....I think i'd suck at it.

You would be surprised at how fun it is, even when you feel that you don't know much about football. I never really watched it until about 6 years ago, when I started to do the fantasy football thing. You can just let the system make your picks for you, and I'm sure any of us who follow football closer would be more than willing help out. Check out this site for some good info: http://www.fantasysportscentral.com/

I'll help ya out DT, it's set to autodraft so you get a tram drafted for ya ... and trust me, I watch a **LOT** of football and keep up on this stuff. It's a blast!

Besides, Ms. Merkin is in. We can't let a LADY beat us, now can we?

*ducks*

Thanks but I really don't think i'd have the time to do a good job at this. I'm hanging doors and windows and re-doing all of the trim in the house right now so time is kind of hard to come by. Thanks anyway though, maybe next time i'll kick in and give it a try but do post the standings from time to time.....BTW.....you better DUCK!

OH MAN....MERKIN BLITZ'S AND SACKS THE QB AGAIN...OH THE PAIN!

I hadn't noticed this before, but for a league to be able to start it's draft, and begin the season, it has to have an even number of teams, I has assumed the whole bye week thing if our league were to be an odd number of teams. as of right now, we need one more team to get to an even number. Maybe I can get my cat to make a team.

Watch us all get our butts kicked by a cat!

I bet he drafts quite a few players from Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Carolina and Detroit. :0)

He's also a big fan of the Dolphins!

Hey DT, if I'M doing it, YOU ARE going to join too. I don't know Jack Shite about football, but you're gonna be cryin' in your beer (alone) if I win the trophy, and believe me, I will NEVER let you boys hear the end of it. I've already cleared off the mantle, and prepared a little shrine with museum lighting, incense, and special offerings to the Goddess in preparation of the trophy coming to MY house. Join now or you will be feeling the pain, bruddah!

I love the confidence Mrs. M! I can color coordinate the color of the monkeys diaper, if you are indeed the lucky winner. I would hate for it to clash with your living room!

Hah I LOVE it! The trash talking has already begun!

Let's get at least one more in there. Heck with six teams, the rosters are going to be so stacked that it'll be ultra-competitive. We won't have the slacker who doesn't know squat with a bunch of has-beens and never-will-bes for a roster.

"...slacker who doesn't know squat with a bunch of has-beens and never-will-bes for a roster."

That does it. I'm switching my list of choices to "private" ASAP.

I picked all my players on only one criteria: Looks. How their butt and thighs look in their tight pants, hotness, a few extra points if they have braids, and how they clean up in a suit.

As far as my living room decor, let's call it "eclectic", nothing clashes, because nothing matches. I'm putting it next to my spendy "Wally"* pottery from "Twist".

OK....i'm in but don't yell at me if I louse up something...I ain't never dun did dis afore!

Looks like week one I get to go against the Fluff-ette's! Be ready to taste fluffy astro turf.

Edit add: Slacker indeed.....just for that be prepared for the Blitz....and I don't mean a trip to the fridge for a beer!

Hey Merkin....you got smack....
Click on your week one match up!

Six seems like a good number of teams. Like Brian said, the teams will be stacked, which could help those who might not follow football all that closely to have good teams. If everyone who's in the league is ok with it, how about I move the draft to tonight? I'll wait until everyon has had a chance to let me know that they are ready. Either leave a note here, or at the league page.

I'm ready as i'll ever be, go ahead whenever you like.

I'm matched up against Merkin in week one! This oughta be rich!

w00t this is gonna be funnnnnnn .....

Can everyone in out league check to see if at the right hand side of the front page, there is a button that says change draft status to ready? if so, click that button, that way, once everyone is ready, the draft will automatically begin.

I'm going to post this message on our league page.

Even tho this is the politics and other things, we should probably stick to our league message board, don't want to bore eveyrone else, and eat up a ton of bandwidth.

I get "Draft Results Will Be Available After the League Commissioner Starts the Autopick Draft".

I don't see a change draft status to ready option. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

I don't see it either!

You can disregard my last post. The draft has begun. The system put a message up saying that the draft would be complete between now and 11:59pm on Friday. It has been my experience with and auto draft, that it only takes a few hours, but we shall see. In any event. I'm ready to crack some skulls! Oh, and I'm ready for fantasy football as well...

This is gonna be a gas...

I still think a Merkin vs. Cat championship would have been one for the books, and one for her mantle.

Great to have you on board Darktemper! Too bad it's too late to add Herb and the mouse catcher. :0)

You guys better run cause the Wildcats are gonna rip you up!

Beware! The Fluffettes are ready to rock!

Great...."We Are The Champions/We Will Rock You" is a great cheerleading song.....can't wait to hear it!

Hah my lovable bunch of losers are going to wreak havoc on y'all! Just call me the Cubs!

Seriously, this is a total gas guys, and it makes watching the games on Sunday/Monday night much more interesting!

Hey Brian....any suggestions for my Cats? We wouldn't want any of us dude's getting beat by the cheerleaders now would we? I don't think we'd ever hear the end of it! Any player Add/Drops you think would be good? I think I got a decent Kicker, QB, and WR. What about my "D"? Should I change that to say "Packers"?

Brian,

What!?! We have to actually WATCH football? Noooo! It might conflict with my re-runs!

If you have any suggestions for the kittens, make sure you answer publicly. I might need some help too, but don't let the kittens know the strategy.

Bang a gong, get it on!

Better watch it......you gonna be whats left in the litter box when my cats get done chewing you up!

*Smack*

And the trash talking is well underway here folks!

Add: Brian...you got my email addy....no sense listing these things publicly!

So....were do we go from here? What happens now at this point? I've been practicing editing my smack and have gotten pretty good at that, voted on all of the week 1 match up's, benched my QB with no replacement, figured how to get him back in off of his but, swapped defenses so I better crush the fluffette's, etc. What next?

Edit add:
Wish more people would have ponied up, this is gonna be a hoot!

hey DT - check your email.

We all have very strong teams ... with only six teams in our league and the entire NFL talent pool to pick from ... wow, some high-scoring stuff will be going on.

Mrs. M - if you want, I can email you some pointers ... I will help anyone out.

It'll cost ya a pint of IPA at the next get-together though!

Cheap at twice the price!

I think my injured guys are looking better, both participated in practice today. Damn babys! They whine more than HerrB.

HA.....you gonna have plenty on the Injured Reserve list after my Wildcats get done with ya!

New forum term:

*Smack*

Raaar! The Fluffy Merkins will have you begging for mercy and be sending y'all back to the litterbox crying for mama!

Hey Merkin....do me a favor....don't let baby "M" watch as you get pounded into the astroturf....i'd hate to make baby "M" cry as momma's team get's slammed down hard! My cat's are gonna pounce all over your fluffette's!

"RHOOOAAAAR!!!!"

LMAO! This is gorgeous! Smack indeed!

The Portland Storm are gonna own you!

"The Portland Storm were an American football team based out of Portland, Oregon, playing in the World Football League. When the World Football League was created in October 1973, the Storm was the original New York franchise. When the Boston Bulls merged with New York to become the New York Stars, the original New York entry's draft picks were eventually relegated to Portland.

Portland's original owner, a Houston accountant named John Rooney, soon dropped out of the picture. By March 1974, Bruce Gelker, a former football player and owner of several Saddleback Inns, was named the new owner of the fledgling Portland Storm. The Storm hired Ron Mix, an All-time AFL player, as General Manager and Dick Coury, an NFL assistant with the Denver Broncos, as head coach.

The Storm had mostly rookies and rejects in its roster. Among the standouts was running back Rufus "Roadrunner" Ferguson, ex-CFL and Detroit Lion quarterback Greg Barton, and linebackers Marty Schottenheimer, who would be a successful head coach in the NFL and Bruce Bergey, brother of Cincinnati Bengals-Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey.

In the first half, Portland played poorly, going 1-8-1 in the process. The Storm didn't win its first game until they beat Detroit in the ninth week. Originally a Wheels home game, the contest was moved to London, Ontario. The team improved during the second half of the season, thanks in part to many NFL players cut in training camp that September. Among the new signings were "Big" Ben Davidson of the Oakland Raiders, and Pete Beathard, who had been cut by the Kansas City Chiefs. With the stock of veterans, the Storm improved to 6-4. Finishing overall tied with Houston-Shreveport at 7-12-1. Soon after, the IRS impounded the franchise and Portland wouldn't get another team until the 1975 Portland Thunder took its place in 1975 and lasted until the entire WFL folded halfway through its second season.

Their home stadium for both the Portland Storm and Thunder was Civic Stadium now renamed PGE Park."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Storm

Unfortunately, the real Storm did not have a glorious history or storybook ending. They were barely the Portland Mavericks of the gridiron. I still have a tee-shirt from that inaugural season. Curious about the short-lived World Football League? This site is fairly comprehensive:

http://wflfootball.tripod.com/index.html

The Portland Storm has been my traditional fantasy football team name over the last six or seven years. This season, like some June days, I have two Storms. Put that umbrella away -- you tourist! :o)

Ummmmm.....Storm indeed....I don't wanna "RAIN" on your parade dude but your all "Blow" and No "Show"! Cats are gonna shred you like cheap beef at Taco Bell! But you go right ahead and give Merkin that wind blown look, what with her nice purple mohawk, that things gonna be like a rudder in the wind!

*Smack* *Smack* Cat's licking their chops waiting to feast!

The Storm is going down (again?) in week 2!

Seriously, this is so much fun! I've never cared about, or been interested in football in my entire life, and Mr. M is doing a tiny bit of La-Z-Boy QB'n for me, so we're both having fun, he's even had one of his buddies who is a HUGE FF player to check out my roster.

For the first time ever I can't wait for football season to begin! How much beer are we in for? I think we need to add some kind of incentive besides the fabulous trophy. Trash talkers who lose could/should end up being hit in the sack, oops, I mean wallet, right?

I think the smack talk is more fun the the game itself. One can get carried away with that! I have no idea what the hell i'm doing but it's fun so far!

WILDCATS RULE!

Brianl's Blosers are going to Bludgeon the competition!

Have you met my coach "Sam I Am" Well, angry he is.....He's gonna drive 55 yards every rush! Your guy's are gonna be bleeding "RED", your running backs and recievers are all gonna be screaming "Can't Get Loose", and then they're all gonna be flat on their backs looking up were "Eagles Fly"!

im on darktempers team just so everybody nows. and red is going to kick your but.

Ok......so is everyone ready for the big day tomorrow.....this should be interesting!

I'm wondering if I get to keep wearing the crown for the rest of the week. Don't let me down Fluffers!

Did you say Duffers!!!! HAHAHAHAHHA

Darn Cry Babies anyway. My QB is bitchin bout a sore shoulder and I had to bench my best wide receiver cause he was moaning bout his knee! Bunch of slackers. Oh well, even with second stringers i'm still gonna whomp on you!!!!!!

My QB can beat up your QB with one, no, both hands tied behind his back to make it even. Go Merkins!

We'll see.......we'll see!

Anyone know how bad I am de-fluffing the fluffette's? I've been running errands all day. Funnnnnn stuff ya know.

Gosh, Boyz, call it beginners luck, but at this moment The Fluffy Merkins seem to be #1 in our PDX Radio League! I just hope TO doesn't change that in the second half...

BrianL, you deserve some yummy Chuck E. Cheese "pizza" since you bet on the Kittens! How could you?

Well, I hate to break it to you my friend, but The Fluffy Merkins have outscored everyone in the league at this very moment. Oh, her guys, Jeremy Shockey and Plaxico Burress are in that game with Terrell Owens, so this could get really ugly for the Wildcats. The topper? She still has Edgerrin James starting tomorrow night. So much for all of the man's game crap. :o)

I know...I may as well change my teams name to Puss's in Stilleto Boot's! Geeeez. Bowing to Merkin's ultimate victory with one player still up tomorrow. She is smokin' me, us bad! Man I start out with a QB with a bum shoulder and a WR with a trick knee....sucks!

Hey TO....you get lost on your way to the stadium....c'mon man make a showing would ya!

Oh HELL Ya.....he heard me....one handed TD reception!!!! HOO-YAH....keep it up TO....we have some serious catch up to do in the 2nd half man!

That's it...my head offensive coach is fired....why is Witten sitting on my bench? He must be drinking that Jose Quervo crap or something!

TAHT'S WHAT I"M TALKIN" BOUT......TO....HOO-YAH........that put me back in the running...YA BABY!!!

I wish I was watching this game in person with the 5 of you big smack daddys, that would be so much fun, I'd probably hurt myself laughing from listening to all of this...Puss's in stiletto boots? Too funny. Mr. M is listening to the game on Serius as he's driving back from the SeaChicken game...I gotta go turn the TV on right now...Damn, I should've TIVO'd it...

One more from TO and I may catch you and two more and i'll smoke ya! I normally don't like football but this is kind of a Hoot! Funny....how the two noobs seem to be leading the way in the season opener!

I'm sure we'll get slapped down hard any second now by the veterans of FF! They're gonna eat us like snax!

Well ... I started the wrong QB. I put McNabb in and benched Romo. DOH, I started Romo in my other league and am blowing the doors off the other guy.

I have a decent lead but the other guy has three plays tomorrow night.

Merkin.......you got game one I think! meow

BrianL, do you want your pizza served cold or microwaved?

He can have it any way he wants it....for crying out loud! Me....I like my "Crow" BBQ'd and served Blackened! The Black Crow....get it....geeez...sometimes I crack myself up!

Ummm ... pixza? I'll pass. Besides, I'm on vacation and in Spokane right now, trying to avoid pizza like the plague!

Hey....i'll share my Blackened Crow With Ya!

YUMMY! Pass the A-1 sauce!

It's not over till tomorrow night but Merkin is way out in front for the season opener. Brian should take second tomorrow night and I may wind up 3rd. I'll get you next time FLUFFY!

I can share my "special" coaching technique with you all, if you'd like...

Brian, Have a great vacay, and I hope you don't have to eat anything with a crust unless it's fresh-baked apple, berry, or peach.

Maybe "Crow Pie"

oh I've been conned by the rest of the family into making some pizzas ... gotta hit the specialty store and get some good flour to make dough with today, and make them probably tomorrow night. So I guess I'll be eating pizza after all! hah

Make a little extra dough and fix yourself a tasty Calzone! Least it's not pizza pie!

Mmmmm. Pizza.

Let's see...

Merkin now has even more points from Edge, and has easily topped 100.

The Blosers may have lost their lead over the Storm. Boldin, Gore and Johnson all scored touchdowns and racked up yardage.

The plot thickens...

Week One Standings

1. The Fluffy Merkins 1-0-0 1.000 95.38

2. Portland Storm 1-0-0 1.000 71.80

3. Crazy Glue 1-0-0 1.000 65.37

5. Brianl's Blosers 0-1-0 .000 67.62

6. psuvikingfan 0-1-0 .000 44.51

DOH Merkin is kicking all our bootys.

I go into this week as a huge underdog.

If I had started Romo instead of McNabb ... DOHHhhhh

Well you kno.....haaacck...know if I ha....haaackkk....had not chan....haccckkkk....changed pla.....haccckkk.....sorry hacked up a hairball there....players I would have done a little better as well. But then I don't have a ringer helping me either!

OHHHHH That's it ... blame the fat guy ... I see how you are! Hah I TRY and help ... and the Fantasy Football Gods just take a giant dump on my head.

No...not you man....Merkin has someone else on the sidelines! You helped us both and that was fair and good but she has her own ringer calling the plays!

hah the fact of the matter is, her purple mohawk squad kicked the shit out of the rest of ours in week one. We just need to band together to make sure the funky monkey doesn't end up on her mantle!

With a pink Tu-Tu!

DOGPILE on the Fluffette's!

Yeah, I have a 100-lb Rottweiler that leaves BIG dog piles .... maybe a little gift is in store!

SABOTAGE! hah

Well......shhhh.....don't tell Merkin but I make her a smokin' trade proposal! Tell her it's a great deal cause my two guys are sleepers and when they wake up watch out!


Wildcats (Players Offered)

Santana Moss
Philip Rivers


The Fluffy Merkins (Players Wanted)

Peyton Manning
Plaxico Burress

Dogpile on the Fluffettes? How could you brutally attack us like that? After I said I would consider trading, I'll now decline your offer, Sir.

And I'll have you know, Like my nose, I picked my own team! Mr. M is only a consultant for benches and byes since I have NO idea how that stuff works.

Ewwww...ruffled the head fluffer there! Awwww cmon....it's a great trade.....!!!!! So did Mr M. dump a keg of gatorade on ya after you smoked everyone harsh like ya did?

Add: Hey, I got some Almond Roca for you. Consider it a peace offering from me and my Cats!

Kitty Roca!

Thanks! My dogs are already drooling, they adore it! Don't even bother putting it in a pink can!

OK little....you're up. Your turn to deefluff the fluffy ones! My cats are licking their wounds from last week! Bunch of Pussy's anyway, literally! It's hard to run with the Lions when all you got are kittens! Don't let us down man!

BTW....wha happin to all da smack talk anyway!

Hey PDX,

Do you pay for the live update? How long does it take for the scores to show up? The suspense is killin' me! I can't eat, I can't sleep...I need to know!

How do you keep a Pollack in suspense?

I'll let ya know tomorrow! HAHAHA

Did ya hear about the kitten who pulled out a 10 Lb. booger? His head collapsed! Take THAT!

Hey...maybe after the Storm gets done raining on your parade your fluffette's can take bubble baths in the puddles!

Towel Off Wet Head! Beauty AY!

Oh, knock it off! Don't you kittens have something more important to do, like lick your privates?

Bwahahahaha!

Randy Moss can take all the bubble baths he wants to...preferably with his coach! That's where we uh, discuss uh, stategy!

"The big cat uses stealth to sneak up on their prey. They track their next victom and use their cover to quickly strike at their target by holding them down with their powerful claws. They make a quick kill by piercing the end zone with their quick and ruthless style."

The projected point totals in the Storm vs. Fluffy matchup:

Portland Storm: 71.86
Fluffy Merkins: 71.85

This, of course, is the closest one can be in the world of fantasy football without tying.

Most of my team had a decent day, so we will just see what Yahoo says after midnight. Or, we could roughly grok the numbers like true geeks. :0)

"Jim wrestles the miniature Wildcat kittens while I circle in the LandRover"

Marlon Perkins

P.S. I am obviously not a TRUE geek, because I haven't the slightest clue on what to do with any FB "numbers"...

UH OH....look out boys and girls....that big WildCat came out of nowhere and ripped off Jim's Head! He's tearing off after Marlin....good lord he caught the LandRover and ripped the door off....ahhhhh he's got Marlin's head in his mouth and is dragging him back the the pride! Oh.....I can't watch. This sadly ends this program. Tune in next week for Mutual Of Omaha's....ummm....Ule Gibbons is gonna eat a pine tree.

Well Little....I hate to say it but with Portis 60+ yards rushing Merkin now has the three points needed to put you away. That is unless he fumbles and looses 2 points for that!

Ohhhhh...Stick a knife in him OJ....he's done...Portis 6 yards for a TD and 6 more points! Someone give little a big crying towel! She'll be full of herself for sure, or Humus and Diet Cike!

Full of myself? I'd rather be full of tequila, of which you guys will be supplying copius amounts to me and my boys! Dang, my class tonight is wreaking havoc with both MNF and 'Prison Break'.

Week Two Standings

1. The Fluffy Merkins 2-0-0 1.000 180.13 W-2

2. Crazy Glue 2-0-0 1.000 145.94 W-2

3. Portland Storm 1-1-0 .500 149.35 L-1

It's awfully quiet over there in fantasy land. Should I be paranoid? Are you guys plotting something?

Well, CrazyGlue is busy in your locker room putting "Crazyglue" on all of the toilet seats.

The rest of us are busy digging in the "Plot" were your gonna get buried this week. "CrazyGlue" is gonna Bury you!

I've got an empty Cabo Wabo tequila bottle with daisys in it ready to go!

*Smack

This just in...

WILDCATS HAND STORM CUPS

I got dem 1 and 2 blues.

I don't have any points yet! Do you have the instant update? How did I do? I know you voted against me (again!), so you owe me!

Well, I just figured that since I had one player score a touchdown, another kick a field goal, and little or nothing from anyone else, it would take a miracle to beat Darktemper. I know, speculative journalism is dangerous. I still have a hunch this will not turn into Dewey Defeats Truman. :o)

Hey! Cheer up! I voted for your team!

-, negative, backwards, in da hole, -3.68 points, man your QB really sucked yesterday! The Portland Storm got Blown Away! And Merkin.....don't be to ready to chalk another victory, Crazy Glue still has one WR to play tonight and his projected 6 points would do you in!

BTW....say "BYE" to Portis next week!

Darktemper wins week three of his Fantasy Football experience and it has a place in history.

Look at all the boring things that happened before you won! :o)

I need to know how somebody can earn negative points? Do you need to score a TD for your opponents?

If you throw interceptions, cough up fumbles, and whatnot, the scoring is very unforgiving. This week, Marc Bulger has yellow goat horns on his blue helmet.

What? No cloven hooves and a tail?

LOL! He's been banging his head and eating the garbage out of the back seat of his pickup all day. He ate a hamper full of laundry last night. I feel for him.

Wait! Are we talking about Bulger or DarkTemper?

Darktemper relaxed in his hot tub with Cabo Wabo and a victory cigar to chew. I bet he also had a perfect steak.

Marc, on the other hand, is going to have to explain to his kids where their back to school wardrobe went.

Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.

If you feel you have reached this number in error, stick a sock in the dryer and try again!

Sorry, was busy chopping some wood, dead wood that is anyway.

But stick a sock in it anyway....Bahh hahahahaha!

Funny how the two newbs are running 1 & 2 ain't it! Just goes to show you don't need to be smart, just lucky. And Merkin appears to be the most lucky so that must make her the least smarterest! Bahh hahahaha!

Week Three Standings

1. The Fluffy Merkins 3-0-0 1.000 246.52

2. Wildcats 2-1-0 .667 211.79

5. Portland Storm 1-2-0 .333 186.62

6. psuvikingfan 0-3-0 .000 139.65

2.2 points between 2nd and 3rd but Merkin is way out front! C'mon guy's, we can't let a girl womp on us like that!

I kept all your boys out late last week. Didn't you notice the hickeys?

Football: PDX Radio Nation.: The Fluffy Merkins

[smack] It's all pure luck...


Well....Dare I say it?

That what those were, I thought my guys fell into a bait tank full of Leeches! They said they went fishing but just wound up with a bunch of Crap, I mean Carp!

Hey guys and gals....WAKE UP. There is still a couple of teams without players this week with the BYE and all. Better check your matchup's!

Oh Yah....almost forgot....Cats are gonna have a stellar week!!!!!

Yeah the Cats got skinned. The kitty is now kitty litter sir.

"Cats are gonna have a stellar week!!!!!


I think you meant "cellar"

Week Four Standings

1. The Fluffy Merkins 4-0-0 1.000 334.60

6. psuvikingfan 0-4-0 .000 185.57

first they steal my rug ,then the car ,Donnie dies and i get the shit kicked out of me by a chick in fantasy football

Life is just so unfair! Maybe a pedicure with Bunny would help?

Ohhhhhh...The Cat's are on fire! 108 pointer last not brings me only 1.4 points away from first place. That is unless our MIA leader decides to front a defense tonight and kick that hen off of her roost!

C'mon man, put a "D" out and with the other two guys tonight you could do it!!!!

There is no hope for Thedude though. At least he has a perfect record of 0-8!

Don't worry, the Cats will be thrown through a fire hydrant coming up soon enough ...

Now, you don't want to go up against a Cat with a bad attitude now do ya? See what a little post win gatorade bath does to my head coach!

http://www.businessgreetingcards.com/images/usrupload/WetCat1.jpg

Gloating! Who, ME? Never! HaHaHa

Enjoy it while you can cause the ThunderCat's are gonna roll right over you!

Hey Brian, remember yesterday when you said that Brady only gets credit for the passing touchdown's and unless he ran in those other two himself he did not get credit for the rushing TD's? Well guess what, my man Tom ran them in all by himself! HA

Well if he ran them in himself he gets credit ... if he hands the ball off to a running back and HE scores the touchdown, the RB gets credit and not Brady.

I thought that was what you were asking. Sorry ...

No you had it right. I did not know he ran them in till I got home. It was a nice surprise though!

OH, looky looky who is in first place by .6 points. I guess there must have been a scoring error of 2.0 points because I was 1.4 back and in second. Who's Your Daddy!!! HAHA...go ahead and consider this gloating!!!!!!

I knew I shoulda played Roethlisberger instead of Brady! Ahhhh! Oh well, the 15 minutes of fame was good while it lasted. I think my guys got distracted by the WWW and her flying monkeys!

Hey! We're only half way through the season...you just never know, we're fairly close!

I'll bet you a jug of cranberry juice that I will win the whole enchilada!

Sis boom bah,
Enchi-la-di-da,
Storm two and seven,
Doin' blah blah blah.

Thedude at least has a perfect record at 0-9-0.

Have I beat him twice now?

You beat Brian in week one and Thedude once after that.

For some reason, I have the theme from Pinky & the Brain stuck in my head now. :0)

Hmmm.....that is a conundrum for sure. Got me why man.

Cranberry Juice? Uh, no thanks.

We can do better than that, can't we?

Well, the Vodka is all gone dont'cha know.

Buy More!

Is anyone driving to CA anytime soon? I have a Costco liquor order...

Best I can hope for this week is to get back to 2nd place. You or Brian will be in first. I guess NE is sitting this week out though so with no Moss that may be a little tough. No matter the outcome it's been a hoot doin' battle with you guy's and gal!

Liquor order?

Liquor in front, poker in the rear ... :D

The battle for the lead this week ladies ... (and Mrs. M) ... w00t I can't wait!

I actually saw a dude in Wal-Mart (go figure) wearing that t-shirt walking with his wife.

As for da fooootball, Just Do It man, your turn for 15-minutes of fame! Just watch out for her flying monkey's though, they can be very distracting.

Hey! Where's the stats? I was really enjoying the shredding going on here.

Are the Fluffy Merkins holding on, or did the Cats prevail? Who's in the sandbox now?

Darn monkeys, I think they've found Littlesongs...

Well thanks to little he ruined a perfect record. The last place team was 0-9-0 but thanks to little is now 1-9-0.

DT's Lucky Game Day T-Shirt sez:

But I'll gladly take a look

OK, DT, bring it on, I can take it. It's only till next Tuesday, then you'll be back to coughing up big Fuzzy hairballs instead of big points.

(E_N, ask him how many trades he's made thus far! He probably doesn't even have anybody from his original team still around.)

Here's my shirt:
http://www.bustedtees.com/shirt/fantasyfootball/male

I don't see DT divulging that info soon. Part of his game strategy. His original team was disracted by flying monkeys, as I recall, not that I want to rub salt in old wounds...

That shirt is great! Didja get the shoes to match the wand, finally?

Oooo...Marty's playing "Can't you hear me knockin'"...how appropriate...

Ah Yes, Trades. Lets review.

I have the #1 and #3 point earning QB's
The #2 #3 #4 and #6 point earning WR's
#4 and #12 poing earning RB's
#2 and #3 point earning TE's
#2 and #7 point earning kickers
And last but not least
#1 and #2 point earning defenses

Yes I used up all 30 moves but am pretty good to go.
I'll see your Duffy Merkins on the field this weekend!

HaHAhhahaHAHahaHaHahAhAHahahahahahaahahaha

Yet you're in second place DT ... and a loser twice in a row to my Blosers.

I've been waiting for you, Obi-Loser. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master.

Mm hmm.

We'll see, Sparky.

So, Tomorrow i'll be "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" as I crush Merkins Monkeys into Grape Goo! The Grape Ape's are gonna be Grape Jelly after tomorrow! It'll be like "Shooting Shark" in Australia!

"And Another One Gone, Another One Gone, Another One Bites The Dust"!

Ooooops, wrong thread my bad!

NOT!

"The Thrill of Victory and The Agony of Defeat"

I'm afraid to go look...Oh, the Humanity!

Well, lets put it this way. I beet you with just Tom Brady (QB), Terrell Owens (WR), and Nick Folk (K). The others were just the icing on the cake! And what a sweet cake it is! Unless Obi-Loser kicks up a storm I will be "King of the World" again!

...............

Enjoy that "special" frosting on that cake, I made it just for you!

And you are still a schtinky "Number Two"!

We will see tonight now won't we.

Stick a fork in it, you're done! Let's hope Brian can kick you further down the list!

Eeewwwwwwwwwww, Testy aren't we! What's the matter Witchy Poo, your broom run out of gas this morning, your Duffers sure ran out of gas last night! They might come in handy pretty soon though, with all of this rain we may need some pro "Sand Baggers"!

Listen up, H.R. Puffinstuff! I'm not sure what you're smokin', but it ain't over yet, my white go-go booted, huge-headed friend!

Well, if you and your cronies would quit clowning around maybe you would do better!

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spoiler

Sorry Brian. Cheer up, Brett Favre is already taking it to Merkin this week. :0)

We still have games on Sunday, plus Monday night.

The problem is, as long as Tom Brady is tearing up every record in sight, DT is the guy to beat.

I say next year (who's in for next year, anyways?!? Let's do this again!) we do a live draft, control our own teams better that way!

Me! I suggest we make it hurt a bit...say $10!

And a live draft? All I can think of is that scene in "Knocked Up":

"Hey, don't let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out!"

(Funniest movie of the year, of the 3 I've seen this year)

I'm in.

Add -- Hey Mrs. Merkin! You've kept me in stitches through crashes and glitches. :0)

Did you see the outtakes of the kid ripping on Ang Lee about Brokeback Montain?

That kid is gifted. All unscripted. The only reason they didn't put it in was because the whole crew and whats-her-face were laughing too hard.

$10.00 this season or next?

That would be next season.

I'm not sure what the $10 would do ... maybe we can just all pony up for the "plus" league in Yahoo, we get stattracker with it and I believe a little trophy ... maybe all chip in for that and do the draft live on Yahoo? Or did you want to meet up somewhere and do it live that way, with lots of greasy food and livations?

That'd be great. I can put next year's trophy next to the Cabo bottle I will get from Merkin (after I empty it of course)! Count me in!

OHHHHHHH

What a weekend for upsets!

The 1st 2nd and 3rd place teams got taken down by the 4th 5th and 6th place teams and yours truly lost to the last place team! Still leaves the standings exactly the same though! Who woulda thunk it! Weird!

I'm lovin' it! Can't wait for the final carnage tally tomorrow! Do you want your ass handed to you on a silver platter or will some Hooters paper napkins be OK?

Um, like I will still be in first place Mrs 3rd stone from the trophy!

Hey Mrs. M - get those Hooters napkins from the Mall 205 location, you can get them for cheap!

LMAO!!! Fifth place is downright merry with you all around!

I think i'll have a big plate of BBQ'd gecko with my Cabo! And I know just the lizard what's gonna get her ass charbroiled! HA

Now if I can just get 40 points out of my 2 guys tonight...yeah right!

Yes, I took it hard in the merkin this week from Littlesongs, but I'm still less than 63 points away from 1st place DT. The only Cabo bottle I'll be giving you is the one you owed me...and it'll be empty so you can recycle it!
(Recycle = target practice at the Dark Compound.)

HAHAHA....you so funny....looking!

"If you could clone Brett Favre and put him on every position on the team, then had them play another team of cloned Brett Favres, the universe would explode."

-- John Madden

Hey Merkin, did you fail math or something? I've got you 85.74 points back and also 1 win away from even tying for the lead.

"L"

I was using last night's figures, you sandbagger!

Yes, Mr. Gosh-I-Don't-Know-Nuthin-Bout-No-Football guy, I AM licking my hiney right now.

Actually, I don't follow football at all. This just sounded fun and early on I dumped players who were not scoring points for those who were. Guess I made some good trades!

If I were not a nice guy, and lacking in the experience of being married, I would have a nice comeback for your last post. So I will just say, "It's better to just run away from this one and live to fight another day!"

LOL. Funny thing, when I began my fantasy career on-line around 2002, I was pretty gung-ho. I learned as much as I could, got good enough to compete and have fun. After all, it was a great excuse to stay in touch with friends all over the place. One fellow drafted his baseball roster live in an internet cafe in Nepal.

I became skilled enough that I could easily tell when folks were cheating. Soon after that hit me, I pulled back. Competition was so dirty in basketball one season, that I locked my roster, explained the rules to the letter, won it all and gave 'em the bird. Do I still like these guys? Sure, but I saw a side that was kinda ugly.

The thing I love the most about our football league is the fun -- of course! A close second is that through all the smack and twists and turns, nobody even dreamed of getting sneaky. You have restored my real faith in folks on a virtual level and I appreciate it.

If I win it all next year, the bottle of Cabo goes to the runner up.

If only I had taken the time to study the movie league I might not be anchoring the bottom. Oh well, as they say, there's always next year.

BTW -- I aint asking for pity. I am in third place (2nd in points) in my other football league and handed #1 his cup 101.28 to 69.68 last weekend. :0)

Sorry about the utter pounding this week man! If you'd like I could sit out my QB and WR to make it less painful for ya. I'd still win of course but then it'd be only by a factor or two (60 to 30) instead of a factor of three (90 to 30). Yes indeed, the "Storm" sure lost it's "Thunder" this week for sure! The Mighty Merkin and her "Fluffer's" came out on top again but tonight will tell the tale between "PSUVikingFan" and "Brians Losers"! I'm hoping TheDudes "Vikings" can stick it to him tonight. That would put me in sole posession of first place!

What's wrong DT, small man syndrome going on here? Scared of the big bad Blosers? Are you threatened by my mancrush on Tony Romo?

HA, you funny man! Lets review the stats shall we. Right now even though we are tied for first in the number of games I am still way out front of you by 140 points and even more after tonight! Soooooooooo...I don't think so! Merkin's Fluffer's actually have more of a chance at the ring than you. Even though she is in third place, she is only 86 points behind me! So put that in your "Hooka" and smoke it!

My computer has been on and off the operating table for a week now, but after some serious surgery, it seems to be behaving again. I am not even sure if I changed a soul on the roster from last week, but that is not an excuse for my pathetic showing. I got stomped.

On a little different note, I am very happy to see the LSU Tigers get the nod from the BCS.

Mrs. M, yer one "Bad Santa"!

Ho Ho Ho

Edit Add:

BTW....Hey Merkin, When I win this week you will bump the Losers to third, you will be in second, and yours truly will be running solo in first place!

1000 plus point's! WooHoo! Catch me if you can't! HO HO HO

Sorry My Bad, I should not call people names, it's not nice!

HO HO HO

[Insert cheesy smile]

Brian, if I were a betting man i'd wager you an IPA and a Tequila shot that after next Monday night your's truly will be standing alone in 1st place! Heck, if I were a betting man, i'd even give you two to one odd's on that!

You can have the tequila ... can't touch the stuff.

Here's the bet.

You win, I get an IPA.

I win, I get an IPA.

I like that bet. How about you?

OK, if you win I get an IPA and if I win I get an IPA. Got It!

BTW....It's Wabbit Season!

uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh (Elmer Fudd laugh)

Bzzzzz....wrong!

The correct response would have been:

"It's Duck Season"

Duck season? I'm grabbin' my 12-gauge, let's go!

Stick till the end, you'll like it!

Week 14 Standings:

*1. WildCats 10-4
*2. The Fluffy Merkins 9-5
*3. Brianl's Blosers 9-5
*4. Crazy Glue 8-6
--------------------------
5. Portland Storm 4-10
6. psuvikingfan 2-12

That is unless Drew Brees has a huge game tonight and leaves Brian in 2nd and Merkin in 3rd.

But da Kats are way out front in 1st.....can't touch this!

*SPIKE!*

In Your Face!

"can't touch this!"

Somebody's just asking for some major "Hammer Time" and Brian and I are ready to deliver that beat-down to you, in person.

You're not THAT far out in front, Mr. Smackety Mc Smack-Smack! There's less than 100 points between us!

Can Brees get more than 22.45 points tonight? I'll buy a round if he does!

76.09 points and 1 win out front of you and 1 win and 157.96 points in front of BLoser. I could lose next week and still be in first place. Here's hoping Drew has a huge game tonight!

Ahh it's playoff time now.

Time for those of us to move into the penthouse, and others into the outhouse.

Don't worry DT and Mrs. M - I'll keep the toilet seats warm for ya. (My ass is big enough to warm two at the same time!)

Damn, I thought Drew Brees was gonna pull it off right at the end! Merkin survived, BARELY!

Hahahahahaha!
I guess I'll have to wait until morning to see how close he got. Mr. M already said I was damn lucky if I won, he had a great game! (I was at a class, so I missed it!)

The Challengers Are Blown Out over and over, but we bravely cling to hope -- even when the Wildcats Are Beating Our asses again.

I am gonna enjoy watching these playoffs as much as the real thing. :0)

In the tradition of "Sammy Hagar":

"I'll Cabo Wabo You Upside the Head"

Oh Good Lordles! I need one of The Dude's white russians right now! That was a squeaker!

1. WildCats 10-4 1070.67
2. The Fluffy Merkins 9-5 994.58
3. Brianl's Blosers 9-5 912.71
4. Crazy Glue (pdxdc) 8-6 797.44
5. Portland Storm 4-10 824.07
(Littlesongs)
6. psuvikingfan 2-12 42.38
(The Dude)

He had two chances at the end zone for his fourth TD which would have did you in but he failed to convert them. You So Lucky!

Last game before the finals! Try and not stink up the place to bad this weekend guys and gal, some of us have to play in the final's two week's after this one. You Guys Bite The Big One!

One good thing about eating crow, the feet are like toothpicks when it gets stuck in your teeth!

I can't even go into the locker room (email) tonight with the stink from my guys and all of the crap I will undoubtedly get! Oh well, I will at least still be in first and tied with Merkin or Brian. On to the finals!

I thought you were talkin' to ME because the seachickens SUCKED today!

Did you LOSE???? Now I gotta go look, although I don't have the instant stats, so I'll have to wait until the AM! I was hoping Romo sucked just as bad for Brian.

OK, I've looked but know nothin', give us an update! Please. I'm begging you. I'm just praying Brian's team with Romo sucked worse than I did with my losers!

I, of course, am KICKING my OWN ass that I left Peyton Manning and Westbrook on the bench. This is the 2nd time I had Westbrook benched when he did really well. Kuhhhhrapp! Dumb chick!

Well, Tom Brady did not get one touchdown tonight to his credit. None of my WR's, Back's, or TE scored either. 4 points to my kicker and a huge defensive tally but I think the glue will be victorious in our matchup. Yours and Brians will see in the morning. You can manually tally this stuff which is how I do it but I will just wait till the morning as yours will likely be fairly close.

Ok
Brian 1 TD from offense, 14 points from "Da Foot" and likely 6 points from Def with yardage points as well.
Merkin 2 Td's from offense, 4 points from "Da Foot", and likely 6 points from def and yardage points as well. Gonna be a close on so look tomorrow morning.

Don't worry Mrs. M ... Romo - 214 yards, no touchdowns, three picks.

I'm sure you got me. Ugh.

Mrs. M ... w00t I got ya by .05 of a point. Even WITH Romo's turd. He darn near cost me in BOTH my leagues, I need one point from Desmond Clark in my other league to make the championship finals next week against a guy I obliterated earlier this year too.

How's third place looking, sister?

You tell me!

I'm back in second place and even though we're both 9-5-0, I've still got more points. And anyway, shouldn't we be focusing on nuetering and dethroning the kittens?

Bow down and offer congrats and butt slaps to pdxdc!
(Where are you anyways?)

You forget the stats don't change until Tuesday morning. Tomorrow morning Brian will be in second with 10-5-0 and you will be in third with 9-6-0. Nice try!

Yes, I Am Moron. Not Legend. Moron.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy appearing to be in second place until it's official. FWIW, I continue to have have second place points. Not that that makes me feel better.

I must win both games or win one so long as Brian loses one and I will win the whole "KittenKaBoodle"!

And then Brian and I, with the assistance of the other guys, and your own family including Miriam, will hold you down and pop your ego like a zit! Can Miriam pee on command?

Otherwise we will NEVER hear the end of it!

Buddy gonna shut you down!

I have a playmate for Miriam ... she'd LOOOOVE my dog!!

After today's round of Football Merkin was ready to toss in the towel....
She was quoted as saying:

"I'm off to shave the Merkins & give up! Thank God I benched Willie Parker-broken leg!"

But hold the phone.....

The unofficial scoring after today's Fantasy Football Finals are:

The Wildcats VS CrazyGlue

The Wildcats finished up with 76.56 points and CrazyGlue finished with 37.75 points.
The Wildcats still have to field their defense (San Diego) Monday and CrazyGlue still has to hear from LaDainian Tomlinson but it seems unlikely that he will make up that many points.

Brians Losers managed to rack up 44.33 points today but The Fluffy Merkins hit him with 66.41 points in retrun. Brians Losers still has to field Antonio Gates Tight End Monday night but I think it fair to say that the Fluffers are going to next weeks finals with the Cats!

Hold on boys and girls this one is gonna be fun!

OK.....It's official. This weeks fantasy football battle for the ring is between The Wildcats and The Fluffy Merkins. The predicted points are very close with a slight advantage to the Cats.

Good Luck Merkin and may The Best Man Win!

PS....Hey Brian, how does third or fourth place sound? Bunch of losers you got playing for ya hunh? OH well, maybe you will do better next year!

"Good Luck Merkin and may The Best Man Win!"

Umm what if it's not a man who wins? THEN what?

Don't worry, revenge will be sweet and swift next year when I pWn all your backsides!

Then I fear we, especially I, will never hear the end of it!

Oh don't worry DT, we only have a year until we're at it again next year.

Who all is in for next year ... DT? Littlesongs? (Who has been awful quiet lately, where are ya bud?) Mrs. M? It'd be a blast to do this again!

I'm in for it. It'd be a hoot to get 20 team's in the next one!

Hey Merkin....Better get that crying towel out now....you gonna need it!

I'm not getting my big white gramma undies in a bundle just yet, sir...miracles CAN happen, Mr. Cocky Kitten! Maybe YOU should keep your hankie handy!

I'll concede when it's official! Not before!

I'd love to do a live draft as well, if possible ... maybe we can do one of our award-winning get-togethers and have it coincide with a live draft party ... get the big board out and everything! Beers and fantasy geeks, what more can anyone want?!

Hey Fluffer, Why Oh Why did you sit Plaxico Burress? Putting an awful lot of faith in the SeaChickens aren't you?

Because he's been playing like a kitten lately! I guess he showed me, eh? Yes, I'm now a bit nervous about my Seattle choices, it's a gamble!

It's gonna be a close one for sure. No matter the turnout I think it's cool that two newb's beat out some gizzled fantasy football veteran's!

It's been fun, gonna miss the smack talk!

Hmmmmm.....This ain't looking so good! Someone got a spare tinfoil hat I can have for the fallout tomorrow? I'm gonna need it from the looks of things!

What?!? Is it tight? Dumb Math Chick has no idea...

NO! It'll probably wind up 95 to 60 your'e favor! You've already won it....DAMNIT! To have so many good players just sitting on the bench because they are already in the playoff's sucks. But such is life.....

Congrat's to Mrs. M....our PDXRadioNation Fantasy Football Champion!

She really stepped on da kitten's tails this weekend for sure!

Got that bottle of Cabo for ya....you never said it needed to be full though....HA!

I'm actually a little bit sad that you lost, I was actually looking forward to your insufferable gloating...and you just made it harder for me next season. This was a lot of fun, and I actually learned a lot and am now interested in Football, and I must thank my assistant coach, Mr. M. for his advice and Mr. J. for help in the draft and telling Mr. M that a lot of good players would be sitting out this week waiting for the bigger games. I just got really lucky yesterday with my strategy of playing lots of Seachickens, it could have totally backfired and the results could have been much different. We never really had a bet on a bottle of Cabo, so unless it's a "team share", it's invalid...

Thanks, guys, this was a blast! Here's to a bigger league in 2008!

How about instead of insufferable gloating I hit you with insessant whining about how I had more wins and more points and that the only reason I lost is that my dudes were just being primadonna's sitting out the last game! Bunch of loafer's!

Congrats, Mrs. M! Can't wait to hear how the first PDXRadio trophy looks on your mantle

As for next year, count me in!
