Wooooooo! Larry Johnson carried my team to another win with a 150+ yard, 4 touchdown game against Seattle. He started off the season slow, but the last couple of weeks have been SO sweet. I have now taken over first place in my fantasy football league, displacing Bud Selig (Chris Miller).
To top off a great weekend, the Redskins didn’t lose!

So, you might remember me ranting about a controversial trade between two brothers in my fantasy football league last week. Well, I played the guy who gave away Peyton Manning for nothing this week (Dan Turner’s Brother). Needless to say I whipped him like a mule 94-48. I’ve got his bro on the schedule around week 12, which I pretty much can’t wait for.

Bud Selig (still rolling)
Cubanlinks (sending both Turner brothers crying to their dad, Norv)
The Great Colluder (yeah, Manning’s good) +3
Timmy Smash!! (might have won, but played two players on BYE) -1
Fear the Turtle (slipping into mediocrity, kind of like Terp basketball)
NY or Bust (bench scored double the points of his starters. WAKE UP!) -2
Alabama Black Snakes (it’s nice, but it sure as hell ain’t too beaucoup) +1
Go Skins! (132 point explosion) +2
Abramoff’s Revenge (how’s Georgia this time of year?)
You may recall that last year Your Uncle Buck posted his top 13 tales of terror from 15 years of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. This year UB has dug up each of the 16 episodes for your enjoyment (even though 2-9 are the only good ones)
Only in a fantasy football league as apathetic as mine could I have snatched-up Rex Grossman so easily. Even more laughable? Chris Miller, owner of the best ranking and thus worst waiver priority, just acquired Maurice Jones-Drew. MoJo for pete’s sake!
So, who can I most thank for this past week’s victory over Taurus? In order: LJ, Anquan, and Rex. Honorable mention to the Panthers D.

The Yankees are currently losing to the Tigers 8-1 in the top of the 8th. I may be jinxing the Tigers by celebrating early, but I’ll risk it. The only thing sweeter than watching the Yankees blow this game is to watch A-Fraud choke yet again.
I lost my week 4 matchup against Jason T. by less than four points. I went in to the Monday night football game 7 points or so, with Donte Stallworth to play. I had high hopes, almost to the point of declaring pre-emptive victory. I guess I’m glad I didn’t. God damn you McNabb!
