You are still one of my favorite guys to make out with, but your
derogatory comments about my columns are uncalled for and
ludicrous. If I want to talk about my team over and over again, I
will, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Are you sad that
I am not joining in with everyone in talking about how your team
barely deserves to have a winning record, much less be in first
place? Or that I’m not espousing about how your team of
“winners” includes guys like Bryant Johnson (good pickup,
though) and Drew Bennett? Sorry, I’ll try to discuss these things
next time. Oh yeah, you’re also Stock Down because you own
Michael Turner, who will probably steal some TDs from LDT. Oh
wait…
I fucking hate these things. Think about it…how are these a part
of a major sports league schedule? These athletes have jobs
that pay them many millions of dollars for 6 months worth of work,
but they need a week off during these 6 months?? Make ‘em
play every week, and may the best team win. And no, I am not
saying this because bye weeks completely raped me this season.
Somehow, when Omar Minaya pieced together this team, he
forgot that you need pitchers, also. I am rooting for the Mets
now that the Yankees are eliminated, but with a rotation of
Glavine (and his gray hair); Maine (and his rookie-ness); Trachsel
(and his ability to push Mets fans to the point of vomiting); and
Perez (and his Triple-A-ness)…well, that doesn’t stack up too well
against Verlander, Robertson, The Gambler, and Bonderman.
Since no one reads this thing, I can make it as shitty as I want.
Clearly, I am getting good at that.




So this week, I decided to write my article at the end of the
Sunday games, for a bit of perspective. Though I am getting
shellacked by Sir Serrano, I am very pleased with how my team
performed this week. Aside from Javon Walker who was kept,
the top three receivers I drafted were on bye (go to hell, Hank
Baskett) and I still managed to top 118 (pending Walker’s game
on Sunday night). It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and I am happy to
announce that the Shermtanks are making a quarterback switch.
Philip Rivers has finally proven to me that he can handle the
starting job, and will be in the lineup in Week 7 versus the
Fighting Blue Crabs.
Going back to last week for a minute, Walker’s big game (for me)
on Monday night vaulted me to a win over the Beach Ballers.
Finally, I have a receiver who can be semi-counted on from week
to week.
Thank you for being a huge bust. You’ve allowed Travis Henry
(one of the newest members of the Shermtanks) to rush for 301
yards in the past two weeks.
Defined as “equality, as in amount, status, or character”, this
word defines both the NFL and ROFFL this season. Entering
Week 6, 11 of the 14 teams in our league were either 3-2 or 2-3.
The ramifications of this will be very interesting as we plow
through the second third of the fantasy regular season, and it
should make Week 13 the best yet. Excluding Week 6, 4 teams
that are either 3-2 or 2-3 would miss the playoffs if they began
today, including the defending champion and the fantasy
assassin.
Go Tigers. I hope you win the World Series, because if the
Yankees are going to lose, they might as well lose to the best.
And in the process, you’ll be using your ridiculous rotation to
defeat the overrated Cardinals (wait, that series isn’t over yet?)
Brian, I would like to announce that the Shermtanks will be
making an appearance in your league this season. I encourage
the rest of you boneheads to join me.
