Opening Day Deserves A Post: UPDATE

But I'm too lazy to come up with much. My beloved Bills will be atrocious this year, as Jerry noted in his Wheelhouse. This woman may be the only person in America who will be this excited to cheer for the Bills this year.

Update: Glad to see zman throw a post up for kickoff weekend banter. I also had planned to get the world excited for Week 1 of the Inaugural Imaginary League. That's right folks, we haven't even called it fantasy football and you're already bored. But bear with us, briefly, and then jump in the comments to laugh at me for losing by 169 to Zman this week.

In brief, ten of us obviously wanted to waste more time on imaginary football at work, so here's the esteemed lineup of owners (with week 1 matchups):

Leinart Wig Company (TJ)
I couldn't even come up with a funny name. Great start to the season.
homeboys bonanza (zman)
I sense some very tense Monday and Tuesday conversations on "Zman and the Teej" over this league.

Sports! (Dennis)
I hope this is an homage to Huey Lewis.
Mr. Mashed Potatoes (GoldenBoy TNT)
Probably a reference I should get. Or not. Ted likes Philly. Enuff said.

JoeMontanaFishburne (Mark)
A great Week 1 matchup between the two clear winners in "Best Team Name"...
Paging Dr. Faggot (Geoff)
...though this name has to be #1 simply because it made it through the Yahoo filter unscathed.

Bears (Michael Jack Lang)
Worst. Name. Ever.
Shinola (Igor)
WILL HURRICANE IGOR RAVAGE THE LEAGUE WEEK 1!!!!! Jim Cantore will tell us at the half.

The Lumberjacks (Mayhugh)
Hopefully a reference to the classic Monty Python sketch.
The Seaward (WheelhouseJerry)
Not googling this one...don't think it's a Seinfeld reference...it is Jerry, so maybe Arrested Development. Just googled it...I guessed right.

I think we all agreed to chip in 20 bucks for this league. Excitement ensues.

  4. Yeah...when my kids wake up at 5:30 tomorrow I'll be bitter...but a little less bitter than I could have been.

  5. Does Tony Kornheiser have the audacity to bring out his tired "bandwagon" routine out into print tomorrow? I think he does.

  6. That's a satisfying way for the Cowboys to lose.

  9. Zman--I said the EXACT same thing about Don Draper during that taxi scene.

  10. So I stayed up celebrating the victory til now and I have a criminal court case at 9am and a physical at 1pm. Poor choice, I was once told.

  11. Poor choices, that is. And shame on GTB for going to bed. I at least expected Geoff to be up with twins.

    Hail Skins.

  12. I was still riding the high at 2AM and then I thought "What am i doing? I'm not in college, it's not like I can skip class" and went to bed.

  13. One twin woke up at 4am. I feel like death warmed up.

  14. Did ZMan really throw a Mad Men spoiler 9 minutes after the episode ended, knowing that most people in the world have Tivos and there is an NFL game on?

    Poor form.

  15. Igor posting at 4:23am does not bode well for his 9am court appearance.

    ReplyDelete
  16. TR, if it makes you feel any better, I beat zman by 40 this week.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh yeah, CBS Sportsline - F U. The college fantasy league was cancelled for the third (and final) time. I am done with those bastards.

    ReplyDelete
  18. What kind of criminal court case does Igor have? I'm intrigued.
