The BCS is hilarious and makes me laugh.
So Texas wants OU to win but ugly so they can jump the Sooners.
The hilarity -- if OU loses, TT wins the Big 12 South and BOTH OU and Texas are fucked.
That is awesome.
Then there is the plane flying over Stillwater to remind people that Texas beat OU.
That too is awesome.
Also -- the OTHER OSU, my beloved Beavers, need to win against the Ducks to win the Pac 10 and fuck USC in their stupid arses. I'm not sure where this burgeoning hatred for USC came from, but its REALLY taken off this season.

Things that I'm thankful for.
1) That I'm not going up against Chris Johnson this week.
2) That I'm not going up against Fat Lendale this week.
3) That Detroit turned a gimme fumble from a defensive touchdown into a whole offensive series.

Playoff Picture
I've cruched the numbers and, with two games left, got a clear idea of most everyone's paths to the playoffs.
Sam Hamwich - Playoff lock unless he pulls a Cliff Claven on Jeapardy! (94% chance)
Mustprotectthishouse3 - With all those points, she's a lock with a win (90%)
Minters Hard Hiters - Would be in were it not for the Spooner incident...win one & in (85%)
Nasheville Toupee - No told this guy there's no 'e' in Nashville fuckers...in the playoff lock with two wins or by outscoring 80's babies. Beating The Crows will help, too (75%)
80's Babies - You can't blame a season on any one player so we'll take the Andy Reid-Donovan McNabb pair...why pull him? Big game vs. Minter's Hard Hitters in Week 14 Best chance is beating Nashevill Toupee on the tie breaker (25%)
The Crows - Needs two wints and needs them to be by a lot. It helps that they play the weakest 7-5 team this week. (15%)
Spooner Express - Won't get the tie breakers this year...needs two wins plus two losses by a7-5 team. (10%)
Truth in Advertising - Those points and a match up with 80's babies help. Two wins plus two losses by Minter's Hard Hitters or Nasheville Toupees plus making up a 40 point differential make it possible. At least you get to play 80's Babies this week. (5%)
Terry Tate All Stars - Mathamatically it's possible. So are a lot of things (1%)
Hella Monsters - A true State fan...there's always next year.

Shit. As long as Colston only get 9 yards or less!!!!
70 FUCKING YARDS??????????????????
Who the fuck throws to their #1 receiver for 70 fucking yards????
RUN THE BALL YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!!!

Race for last playoff slots coming down the the wire!
MPtH & the Handwhich seem to be locks for the playoffs, leaving a logjam for the 3rd & 4th slots. Assuming my game holds up against MHH (making assholes, I know), but here's how things would look:
3. Minters Hard Hitters 7-5 next opponents -- Sam Handwhich, 80s Babies
3. Nasheville Toupee 7-5 next opponents -- Crows, Hella Monsters
4. The 80's Babies 6-6 next opponents -- TIA, MHH
4. Spooner Express 6-6 next opponents -- Terry Tate, Sam Handwhich
Based on strength of schedule, Im thinking Sweet Dee has a lock, but then again, the Hella Monsters dropped 109 on me 2 weeks ago and the Crows dropped 105 on the 80s babies last week.
So if OU loses to OSU, USC loses to UCLA, UF loses to FSU and Missouri wins the Big 12, I still have an outside shot at making the playoffs for the 1st time ever.
Yes dears, this is my blog so I am only thinking of myself right now.
Maybe if the Handwhich benches a couple guys in 2 weeks...

Commence Texas BCS Whining...now!
So, even though UT beat OU at a neutral site, the poll voters will only remember one thing; OU hanging fitty on TTU.
At this point, we can only hope for complete BCS Armageddon:
1) UF loses to FSU, but beats Alabama in the SEC championship game
2) OU loses to Missouri in the Big XII championship game (I'm assuming OU gets in over Texas due to the fucked up tiebreakers they have in place per the Admir0l).
3) USC loses to UCLA
At that point, does Utah get to play for the BCS championship? Does UF still go? Does UT, by virtue of not having lost a second game, get to go even though they didn't win their conference title?
So many possibilities!

Not sure who I bitched to about this....
I hate teams taking time outs to avoid the 5 yard delay of game, especially in the 1st and 3rd quarters.
Jeebus. Trent Edwards just threw his THIRD interception in the 1st quarter.
Only 42 more and the Commish will be pooning Sweet Dee.

No Need to Play 'Em
I ran a statistical model to forecast our league's outcome. Remember, as they say in the financial world, past results don't reflect future performance. But if it did:
Mustprotecthishouse3.0 11-3
Sam Hamwich 10-4
Minters Hard Hitters 9-5
80's Babies 9-5
Nasheville Toupee 8-6
Terry Tate All Stars 7-7
Spooner Express 5-9
Truth in Advertising 5-9
The Crows 4-10
Hela Monsters 2-10
The most lop-sided matchup: Spooner Express vs. Minter's Hard Hitters (Week 13): Spooner has a mere 19% chance of winning
The closest matchup: Sam Hamwich vs. Minter's Hard Hitters (Week 14): Sam Hamwich should win but it's only 51.3% likely
Yeah for having 7% of a real life which inspires you to do crap like this.

Two dead in argument over Alabama-LSU game - USATODAY.com
EVERGREEN, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say an argument over Saturday's Alabama-LSU football game led to the shooting deaths of a couple at a home in south Alabama.
Prosecutors identified the victims as Dennis and Donna Smith of Brewton. The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Saturday at the home of Michael Williams in the rural community of Owassa.
Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. He was being held Monday without bond. A sheriff's investigator did not know if he had an attorney.
Investigators told the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register that Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called Williams, an Alabama fan, after Alabama's 27-21 overtime win and an argument ensued.
The Smiths went to Williams' home. Investigators said 41-year-old Dennis Smith had a pistol and the 28-year-old Williams had a shotgun and fired. 39-year-old Donna Smith was a relative of Williams' girlfriend.

Go Beavers!!!
So I cant remember, but I THINK it was Oklahoma that lost to K State in their Conf. Championship game and yet still played for National Championship. I THINK they got beaten by Miami.
Anyway...
USC might not even win the PAC 10. HI-LARIOUS.
Fuck them and their blanking of the Cougs.
Thats right -- fuck you Pete Carrol and your no-shirt wearing man pile of gaye-ness.
PROP 8 BABY!!!!
So apparently tonight involves pulling for BOTH OSUs.
Go Beavers, Go Cowboys.
Good luck in the SEC Championship against 'Bama.
BTW -- many citizens of the SSTC&BFSG community have mentioned how horrible & stupid Les Miles is.
A- Greed.
The second time out - almost Amato-ish in it's usefulness.

Damn you Brandon Stokley!
So regardless of how you feel about Obama, doing something stupid and getting a 15 yard penalty that would allow the Browns to win would have been GREAT for us Bolts fans.
I only heard snippets of the game online -- something about Mike Shanahan nearing the end and basically going to Dallas. Might be conjecture -- those fuckers on the NFL network TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK.
Shut up and play.

That Kid Had Talent
Rest in Peace, dear Ryan Torain. Easily the most talented kid on my squad (and the most productive when averaged by the minutes played). He could've made my season were it not for last night's torn ACL. He was plucky.
Here's his stat line:
Quarters Played: 1.5
Carries: 12
Yds: 68
YPC: 5.7
TDs: 1
At least I can lean on DeAngello...I'm thinking Stewart has a stress fracture and is out of the year.

Dont take too much time thinking about details!
Trade Deadline is Nov 14th !!1
Before you say no, just remember -- Shaun Alexander is a proven, MVP caliber talent.
When it comes down to brass tacks, what exactly have Frank Gore, Fat Lendale or Felix Jones REALLY done?
Squadoosh.
And... Im willing to throw in the #3 kicker in all of FF for shits & giggles.
Also... Derek Anderson has thrown TDs. Can Torry Holt or Shaun Swisham say that?

So no hate from me for the SEC -- it may just be that having Texas as #1 we've gotten to see a lot more Big 12 games this year -- Mizzou & Kansas being good last year probably also helped.
But as we speak, TT is whoopin the shit out of UT. But Nebraska took TT to overtime and is being annihilated by OU. Wow. How is one to make heads or tails about the top 5 ???
I mean, OU is good. TT appears to be the real deal.
And in their defense - Texas aint too shabby. In terms of scheduling, having back to back to back to back ranked teams is kind of tough.
I guess Penn State runs the table and is in.
Then its gonna be a dog fight for that #2 slot. I got NOTHIN'. I have no idea how this is gonna shake out. I guess whoever in the SEC wins out will... win out. We'll see.

I'm a little disappointed to see that you didn't even make a pick in the latest Survival league.
On a side note, I'm also a little surprised that less than 1% of people picked Carolina this past week given that west coast teams are 0-12 (now 0-13) in 1PM starts on the east coast.

Rule change for next year.
Not sure how we missed this, but Fum lost is -2 and an INt is -1. My feeling is they should either both be -2 or both be -1. An offensive tunrover is an offensive turnover.
Not even trying to kiss up to the 'Uar.
1. | Texas | 8-0 | |
| 2. | Alabama | 8-0 | |
| 3. | Penn State | 9-0 | |
| 4. | Southern California | 6-1 | |
| 5. | Oklahoma | 7-1 | |
| 6. | Texas Tech | 8-0 | |
| 7. | Florida | 6-1 | |
The only way I can see you're beloved Gators making it to whatever city is gracing us with a bowl of nachos this year is for Texas and Oklahoma to BOTH slip up. I think that gives you guys a strength of conference argument (if you win out). I think you also need the 'Noles & Cocks, Auburn & LSU to win a few in next month (Auburn & LSU for 'Bama's schedule).
Good luck!

The Lions traded Roy Williams to the Cowboys. I see Roy having a Pro Bowl caliber season the rest of the way since most of the coverage will be rolled TO's way. Oh, and look at what we have here.....Sam Handwich just happens to have held on to Mr. Williams. This doesn't bode well for me.
LCS thoughts
So I haven't been a huge baseball fan over the years. The Twins Braves series of 1991 was fairly exciting. Especially the game the twins won. Luke charged out on the balcony expecting the deluge of phonebooks, pizza boxes and toilet paper that followed all the Brave's wins.
One lone person screaming across a quad "goooo Twiiiiins!" followed by crickets is pretty darn memorable. And I'll always love him more for it!
I have many great memories of waking up at 3am in Nepal to tune into the Denver/GreenBay Superbowls and World Cup France.
But up until recently, that cricket night with Luke was about it for baseball.
I've definitely been much more excited for our historic forays in 'Ice Croquette' and other modified rules of yard games. I'm still thinking we should get a thrift shop set of my little ponies to make a game of horseshoes seem like a hell of a lot more in the telling of it.
Until this October.
The attention I've paid to the Bulls over the last three years has really come back to make me damn happy as I've followed the Rays through their cinderella year. Listening to the games on am radio and hearing the former Bulls lighting up an 11-0 at Fenway pitcher was just damn awesome.
Not that the Rays will continue to have this success, especially is the rich ass division they're in, but if they do, it may be time to consider a road trip next summer, just 'cause. Of course, this is a midnight thought fed by "Red Brick Brown Ale" from the Atlanta brewing company. It's a little sugary for me, but there's five more just waiting for coming nights!
hmmmm.
lost that train.
whoooooooo whooooooooooooooo

Pick'em
Still pulling up the rear but having given the league a 3 week head start I think I'm doing pretty well!
Holy crap. Cant I catch a lucky break ???
Mon, Oct 13 WR Brandon Stokley suffered a concussion against the Jaguars and missed most of the second half. He will be monitored this week before the Broncos determine his status for their next game.
Wish I had read that before I dropped Bobby Engram.Sunday, October 12, 2008
Some numbers just for fun.
So, I decided to see what the league would look like if we were in a universal head to head league (that is, everyone plays everyone else every week); here are the standings through week 5:
It's obvious a few leaguers have gotten some favorable match ups, and it's obvious that there are a few hard luck losers amongst us (sorry, Pooler).
| Place in Universal Standings | Team Name | Universal Standings | Real Place in the Standings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | MPTH | 30-15 | T2 |
| 2. | SH | 29-16 | T7 |
| 3. | 80's | 27-18 | T2 |
| T4. | MHH | 24-20-1 | T2 |
| T4. | TIA | 24-20-1 | T7 |
| 6. | Crows | 23-21-1 | T2 |
| 7. | TTAS | 19-26 | T7 |
| 8. | SEx | 18-27 | 1 |
| 9. | Nash | 16-29 | T2 |
| 10. | Hell | 12-32-1 | 10 |

Not that AJ is up shit creek...
but it aint looking good for him @ noon.
Sorry about Coles & Royal. And Boldin. And Reggie Brown.
Its a good thing I dont mind winning dirty.

I'm not sure if its funny from a sports figure standpoint or if its political. Either both RA and SK will be voting for McCain now.

Am I correct that there is a game on Thorsday night?
Any interest in going to Fox & Hound to watch it on NFL network ?
Not sure if T Bone & Mr. Pooler are up for Sunday @ Wild Wings -- the Sidekick is DEFINITELY out, so it might just be me & Sweet Dee.
Brent, what do you have on tap ?
AJ, you need to get you're arse up here one weekend!

At least I can pick a TE.
Visanthe Shiancoe scores! Way to get a triple squadouche with 27 replacement points sitting on the bench. I might as well pop my collar and finish the douche part off. Shit.

Bad portents:
1) rascal flat sings the ACC football theme. Might as well get michael bolton as far as I'm concerned
2) feature tackle in the football footage somebody swallowing Daniel Evans wholesale. Arms wrapped, etc. (and the NCSU is clear on him). . .
3) rascal wussass flats? no freakin' wonder. Couldn't they get someone with some credibility for being tough, like celine dion?

Is this how it feels every week...
to be the one staring down the barrel of the Sam Hammich ???
The dude is already being spotted almost 20 puntas over me!!!!
The only good news for me:
Earnest Graham is going up against the Denver defense.
Should be good for 20+

Thats right. Benching Mucho Stinko for a dude with a broken arm
I figure what the hell --- maybe Bobby Engram will only get 50 or 60 yards.
That would surpass 85s output from the first 3 weeks.
And this warning is for you, Randy Moss: Get your shit together or you're next!
***SAN***
WR Bobby Engram, Sea (54%) – Last call. Engram is expected to return from a shoulder injury in Week 5. He'll immediately step into a starting role and will likely assume go-to duties – Matt Hasselbeck loves the guy

New thoughts on benching once you've "WON"
Thinking about it -- YES, once you've scored more and the other team has no other players, it is 100% in you best interest to bench the remainder of your team.
Say Heath Miller has a fumble -- AJ & the Sidekick are tied.
So regardless of how Conan would play fantasy football, I think securing the win is too important to worry about getting a blowout.

I have wish list
it includes a top-flight TE and a dependable running back. You can have anyone on my team except Calvin Johnson and Trent Edwards (a man's gotta have keepers).
For example, I recent sent the spooner this trade:
Duece McCallister and Terrell Owens for Antonio Gates and Julius Jones. If this is the kinda thing you want, let me know.

Looks like me & AJ have both succumbed to the cruel winds of Fate and joined the ranks of the dirty masses.

Not ready to give this one up quite yet!
IF, and its a big if, Big Ben lights the Dirty Birds up and pushes their Defense towards negative territory, and doesnt get sacked 9 times, no picks, etc...
AND
Mendenhall gets loosey-goosey with the rock and coughs up a couple fumble-rooskies
THEN
The 'Uar still has a chance at choking this one out.

3rd quarter St L 14 Bills 6
With Denver going down (whoa) if Buffalo can scrape together a solid D and 1 touchdown followed by another score, I could win at something sporty this year. . .
Or tie for holding out the longest. As a State fan I'm used to counting the moral victories. And morale deflations!

F you, Fast Willie!
Why didnt you go down LAST week.
I think at this point, my only valid keepers are the Tard Manning, Chester & Owen Daniels.
Not sure about how the rest of you feel about this season, but I have shot it fuck all.
Granted, some of you may say that Mendenhall & Deuce were sloppy seconds that would be around next season in late rounds, but I thought the point of our league was to actually KEEP players.
Oh well.
***SAN***
yes, Im a whiny beech:
Mon, Sep 22 Larry Holder, of the Biloxi Sun-Herald, reports New Orleans Saints RB Deuce McAllister was never in the team's game plan for Week 3, according to head coach Sean Payton.
***SAN #2 ****
HFS -- I forgot about Earnest Graham as a keeper. Ignore all previous whining.
He & the Tard: Keepers!

Help Wanted
Kansas City Chiefs seeking person (and we use the term loosely) with arm (two are preferable but not a requirement) to aid in team becoming the laughing stock of the league. Must love humiliation and have the ability to smile in the face of a high paid running back while simultaneously recommending to the coach that he play his backup.
Seriously, this has to be the first time ever in which a team has started each of its first four games with no QB getting consecutive starts. Too bad I played DB in high school or I'd be on the first thing smoking to Missouri!

Holy crap. I MIGHT be looking at 4-0
Checking out the Genuine Bakula's lineup:
Available:
Moss
Driver
Felix Hones
Johnson
McGahee
BYE
Brown
Manning
Hasselback -- I assume he'll pick up a QB. I hear DelHomme is available.
Giants -- I assume he'll pick up a D.
HURT
McFadden
Shockey -- Getting a quality TE is going to be tough.
Good luck.
80% of the way to 5 and 13 ????

2 Things...
I've got a bad feeling that Truth in Advertising is going to end my little winning streak this week. I've got to be due for one of those "I can't believe he didn't score any points!" weeks.
Also...
How in the H-E-double hockey sticks is the Spooner Express rolling along undefeated having put up the second LOWEST scoring total in the league. He's a statistical anomaly!

Crap. Anyone want a #3 and #5 pick for a WR ???
Mon, Sep 22 Scott Petrak, of the Medina County Gazette, reports Cleveland Browns QB Derek Anderson (forearm) will likely start for the team in Week 4. However, he could have a quick hook should he struggle. QB Brady Quinn will likely receive more reps during practice this week. Head coach Romeo Crennel said the staff was evaluating every position on the team, including quarterback.
After week 4, I should have Derek Anderson on the block, and assuming he doesnt produce, Mucho Stinko also.

1st of the season???
Blockbuster trade approved by the commish:
The 80's Babies sends Kurt Warner (Ari) and M. Pittman (Den) to Hella Monsters for Eddie Royal (Den), Ryan Grant (GB) and future help in finding the most nutritious (and cheapest) buffet in Sin City!
Let's keep the wheeling and dealing going!!!!!

What the hell is the O/U on this game?
Whatever it is, hopefully you bet the over. Because there may be a combined 50 points scored before the half (25 off Favre interceptions, thanks Brett).
Cock.
I was only kidding cockface, you can quit throwing them.

From the UNC Team Report:
"North Carolina was on the verge of taking control of the ACC Coastal Division..."
That's some serious spin right there. How can you be on the verge of taking control when you haven't taken a snap?
Re-diculous.
Kind of amusing, however, that the writer refers to their backup QB as Greg Paulus. That has to get under the skin of the B-ball faithful.

The fact the pick'em is named "Keeping AJ Happy"
and he has yet to make a pick means he is either:

How am I so terrible at picking NFL games?
I'm third from last in my dad's pool (100+ people, the 2nd time in 3 weeks), last in ours, and not so hot in Yellow Ben's. I varried my picks, too.

Not being able to field a single WR is KILLING me.

Is it wrong
that I consider the Ryder Cup a much bigger deal than the Olympics? I much more enjoy watching it, get a larger feeling of national pride, and find myself rooting much harder for the participants.
Granted, its 90% from Brady being hurt
But if there is anyone in our league that has a worse receiving tandem than Moss & Ocho Stinko, I'd like to know.
BTW - Graham: 16 total yards against the Bears.
That, mon freres, is 5 points from 3 players.
***SAN***
The answer is NO -- no one has a worse tandem than me yet.
The caveat on that -- IF Chambers gets 0 points, El Tino will get 3 from his top receivers.

Sweet sassy molassy!!!
RB Chester Taylor could see his first significant action of the season Sunday if starting RB Adrian Peterson's hamstring injury is still bothering him. Peterson was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
UPDATE
Thu, Sep 18 Rick Alonzo, of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (hamstring) expects to ready to play Week 3. "I feel I'll be ready to go," Peterson said. "Just take it one day at a time. Just give it a little time to rest." Peterson said his hamstring began to tighten up in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 2 game.

Could be worse than the financial crisis?!?
Not sure if this belong here or the regular blog, but I going with this one to be safe.
Can Minters and Spooner play each other? I mean they are run by the same person aren't they? Is this not exactly like when the same person from two different times occupies the same space like Ron Silver in Timecop (I love JCVD).
This matchup could cause a cataclysmic event the likes of which we have never seen. SCARED!!!!!
