MMSY: 11/12/07

Following this weekend, is it too much to ask "Touchdown" Fred Barnett to take over the body of Hank Baskett?

5 Things I Think I Thought That Were

1. I think that depsite not clinching a "win" per se with the controversial trade this week with Shawn, I'm glad to pawn off on the Pittsburgh fan the splendid mediocrity that is Willie Parker. Sure, his points-per-week average is good. Going into the weekend he was ranked the #11 scoring running back in ESPN. But Shawn, buddy: Enjoy the 100-yard games with no touchdowns. It really gets to be enjoyable -- even more so when you expend a No. 7 first round pick on him and watch the back chosen after Parker (Dr. Brian Westbrook) drop a 43-point atom bomb this week.

2. Jumpin' jehosiphat! What was with the stat line from James Thrash?? It was sickening to watch him dissect the Birds D, but then something strange happened. If one former trashy Birds offensive player could somehow be reincarnated on the field, well, why couldn't the current Eagles team benefit as well? It was as though the ghosts of Charles Johnson and Jed Weaver took over the bodies of Reggie Brown and LJ Smith. Weird, odd stuff.

3. I think it's really puzzling how fantasy football scoring works sometimes. Just look at Peyton Manning. Six interceptions! And somehow he's able to generate 19 points. I get the whole 328 yards passing and that accounting for something, but what the drilly-o? Commish, can we institute next year some sort of scoring penalty that would be triggered when a quarterback throws, oh, four INTs in a game? Maybe like a -10? As A Little Slap And Pickle would say, "I'm just saying."

4. I think that I will never live down my past indiscretions with past flames, no matter how much time passes. It was wonderful getting a voicemail from Craig, with you hoodlums shouting various names out in the background. Ohhhhhhhhh you guys!

5. I think that I'd be curious to hear how Jon's Saturday morning went. Word on the street from The Pied Piper of Upper Darby is that he had the most ... eventful ... Friday evening with the boys. Do share blog daddy!

Actually, I'd like to know what happened myself. If somebody could fill me in, I'm all ears.

I do know I woke up naked on the side of the interstate next to a deer carcass with blood all over my mouth. Other than that, it's kind of a blur.

Saturday morning actually was fine. By the time I ate Second Breakfast (like a hobbit), my stomach was fully appeased.

You punched me a lot, lost in big game hunting, humped Dave mercilessly on the dance floor and got to work at least an hour late.

DEATH KNELL BITCHES!!

1. You deserved it for beating me in Big Buck Hunter.
2. Only because I was trying to hump Dave and shoot at the same time.
3. I don't get to see him that often so back off.
4. 90 minutes late, thank you. However, the concrete truck and myself arrived simultaneously, so no harm, no foul.

VERNON DAVIS GONNA UNLEASH THE VD TONIIIIIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!!!!

Hefty, how did your survivor picks do this week?

Citizen 10Cane said...

Rich, I'm glad you asked.

I took Green Bay in both.

In the $250 pool, my dad took N.O. so he lost. It's down to me and one other guy.

In the KSK pool, one guy took Indy, and another guy has Seattle tonight. If San Fran wins, it's down to me and one other guy.

CRUNCH TIME!!!

I mean, do you really deserve to live down Funke and the Beckster?

You were the first to knock it out in our new pad and you left your 'wrapper of indescresion' out in the open for all to see!
