Bye Week
We're gonna write the entire first week of this new year off to alcohol and gastrointestinal discomfort, combined with dreadful football. We'll do better soon.
Dear Jon Gruden: you haven't been with this team long enough to realize, perhaps, but the more of your team's starters that you start today, the more that will end up on injured reserve, thereby guaranteeing a loss in the first round of the playoffs. It's how the curse of your boss works. It's also a little bit of common sense. Names like Jackson, Moses, Williams, Reed, and Cousins should not be uttered by the PA man. Don't do it.
My brother in law started a fantasy football dynasty league with his friends. They needed a tenth participant so he asked me. The trophy for the league is a professional wrestling style championship belt. I picked up said belt today. I will be bringing this belt to every family get together for the next year.
And yes, I know nobody cares about my fantasy team but the belt is pretty rad.
So y'all seem an audience to hear the drama of today (connected with last weekend)...so our 12 y.o. managed to work his fantasy team into first place before "super bowl" final 2 weeks...his opponent --his dad. His star player has been OBJ. Suspended last week. Dagger. But in a last second move son picks up Cousins, who gets 40 points last weekend. So he wins last week but only by about 20. Enter today....OBJ has crap day, as well as others not doing as they've done. After 1:00 games, he only has Peterson in night game left. Husband has 4 guys including Cam Newton in 4:00s. OY!! Basically, Peterson needs HUGE game for son to win. Drama!! Thought I'd share.
i guess everyone's too busy occupying federal buildings in oregon to weigh in this morning, eh?

I just came here to comment on the belt. That is righteous. Hopefully it comes with some green paper too.
