So, the Olympic games finished up a few days ago. I dunno, my interest level in them pretty much could be described as ‘nonexistent’. And I think a lot of that has to do with my complete and total lack of regard for the governing body of the Games, the IOC (cue Imperial March). This is an organization built on corruption, and the awarding of the Games to the highest bidder, not only in terms [...]
Jesus…having just finished my second draft of the day, and having spent the past…4 goddamn hours involved in Fantasy Football drafts, I can honestly say I’m pretty much done in terms of that…and luckily, I AM done in terms of that!
Anyway, The Northern Horde logged in to their draft 7 minutes prior to find…we pick NINTH? Ninth out of twelve teams? Uhhh…wow…did I have sex with the cyborg woman of the Yahoo randomizer or something? On the good side…it is a little nice being on an end of a serpentine draft, since I’ll always have picks 6 apart. On the bad side…it’s NINTH. It’s like…okay, you meet Steven Hawking. Now, you can be at the head end, where you get to talk to a complete genius. Or, you can be at the tail end, where you can observe the expansion of the genius’s colostomy bag. I feel like the Olympian who tripped over the first damn hurdle in the event. This sucks. One note, though…even though 3 of the positions are labelled as defensive linemen, in fact every true lineman AND every linebacker in the league has drawn that title, so ‘backers will be a big part of the league. This makes things a bit easier.
And we’re off! LT goes first…everyone jokes that they’re amazed, because everyone is tired/hungover/on their second draft of the day/obligated to join in by the FF gods themselves. #2 is…Tom Brady? Wow, someone expects 50 TD passes again, apparently. Perhaps someone also still believes in Santa, who may or may not bang hot chicks with Brady’s propensity. Let’s face it, the ladies like the dudes with the schwag, and Santa’s traveling with a load of gifts! #3…Addai? Seems a bit early. Moss and Manning go next…insane hopes that Brian Westbrook will freefall begin to germinate in my fevered brain. They are dashed when he goes 7th (Peterson went 6th). Marion Barber goes 8…holy fucking shit, Steven Jackson just fell to number 9 in the damn draft! This is like your grandma giving you a Ferrari at Christmas, instead of socks. I am amazed, and thrilled! (Just to round out the first round…Maurice Jones-Drew was a surprising 10th pick, Frank Gore went 11th, and Tony “Hey, Tom, I can score with hot chicks, too” Romo went 12th.
The Date ApproachethSo, this weekend shall be the weekend of football drafts. On Saturday, the ‘other’ Matrix league has its’ draft. This will require me actually being up and at the computer at 9 o’clock in the goddamn morning, a prospect that does not thrill me in the least. However, it DOES answer the question of what would actually compel me to get up early on a weekend. Football geekery. Actually, is that even surprising? The league [...] |
Operation Fantasy ReduxWoah, what happened? Where’d all the text go? The brilliant, brilliant writing? Well, the whole reason I was writing about THIS league was that my league from LAST year didn’t seem to be a go, remember? Well…now it is. I’m going to switch my FF reportage over to THAT league, mainly because as it’s a Matrix Games league, the winner gets a game…when there’s something on the line, things get a little more intense (it’s [...] |

#1 Song on This Date in HistoryKind of an interesting site I’ve come across, here. Basically, you put in the month and day of your birthday, and it lists the #1 song on that day every year it’s been measured. Here’s my list, as an example…I’ll copy from ’76 on. 2008 … “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry 2007 … “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s 2006 … “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland 2005 … “We Belong Together” [...] |
I am Desiring to be Raping of Your Wallet in the Rear Area, Dear Person if it Pleases You?There are 2 reasons for this post to exist. 1. To test the new Press This feature in WordPress 2.6 (anyone who has Google Reader and has the Note in Reader button, where you can note any page in your G-Reader account? Yeah, this works exactly the same, only it opens up a WordPress window, and start posting. It’s a very LIMITED setup, but I could see myself using it if I find a really [...] |
