Dart review

This was supposed to be Foley's thing. Come to darts, take some notes and blog about it. Somewhere along the way he stopped caring and abandoned it. He used to come and have fun, bust some balls and have a good time but lately its been all "I got a lot going on", "Don't worry I'll do it Thursday", or "Fuck you, get me a beer". Here is hoping that Foley comes back to the blog next season.

Onto the dart review.
We lost! Actually we got our asses kicked 12-5. Other than Super P playing lights out last night there is nothing positive to write about. We are always looking for new players and after every season we revamp the roster so if you are interested in playing. Give me a call...

Perfect

Danny McBride?
Natalie Portman?

How can this not be the best movie to come out in 2011??


Put all your chips in the middle

And down the stretch we come!! 
 
Its week 17 the final week and its still open at the top and bottom spots!! The pressure is on and the waiver wire should be very active as many teams may be resting some of the players that got you to the spot  you are in!! GOOD LUCK!  Week 16s winner was Beach Bums again with 140 pts and he now finds himself in first by 39 points over the devils ASPARAGUS!!!! 
 
Team Smelchie is hanging on to third as we go to the final week up 50 points. Owner of the Smelchies quoted to TMX "doesnt matter we will finish in the money" at TMX we love the arrogance especially when it looks to be right! MFNMP was making a strong push till he didnt push the right buttons and sat Big Ben and Wallace this week! Its not over as 50pts can be made up so it will be a race to the end. 
 
 
Now on to our last place finisher- The Slippery Wizards. The totals are as follows: J Kitna 4; Benjarvis Greeen-Ellis 15.5; R. Jennings 7; Desean Jackson 4; Welker 2.5; Tamme 16.5; Bryant 2; Steelers D 18 for a dismal total of 69.5. TMX  is not a fan of people blaming injuries so Slippery Wizards cant tell us that Maurice Jones-Drew being out was the reason for this but they did lose their starting qb Jon Kitna in the first half of the Christmas Day game so we figured we would start there with what went wrong. Hey Jon its TMX calling on behalf of the Slippery Wizards how's it going? " Hey its going ok for a 38yr old journeyman qb why whats up?" Well you put up 4 points for the Wizards this week do you have any explanation? "Explanation? for a team who's owners called me "Shitna" all season despite putting up 30pts three times and going under 16pts just ONCE? Yeah tell him I got hurt trying to rush for a td and could barely walk yet I still found Witten for a td before I left the game!"Geez Jon you seem bitter. "Tell the owner I dont wanna play for someone who treats his players like that, I didnt suck as bad as Wes Welker why dont you call him!" TMX made repeated calls to Wes Welker but like most of the year he was nowhere to be found. 
 
 
 
TMX did however reach Desean Jackson- Hey DJax its TMX we are calling about the 4 points you put up for the Wizards this week? " yeah, Desean felt that Desean did all Desean could do so if that aint good enough well Desean will try better next year, gotta run and work on a td dance! Wizard for life Desean OUT" Well there you have it! A tough week leading to the final push where 46 points separates the race for the dress! Old friend Bobbybrowns Other Kid; The Slippery Wizards and Skza"s Soldierz will be fighting it out this week. 
 
The Vegas odds arent in but with injuries ravishing the qb-less Slippery Wizards they may be favorites to wear it!! Team Iggles wont be wearing a dress as you  remembered he QUIT the league so no matter who finishes in last at least you can feel proud that you didnt quit!!
 
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! 
 
TMX reminds you that folan.com's New Years Eve Extravaganza is sold out again but they will have chances to win tickets on the site Friday. Folan.com for everything.

Get your canoe ready

Sorry its been a long time coming with things I learned this weekend but I've been under the water...literally. I am sure some of you have seen these pictures but hell they are worth sharing again. This was my street from the blizzard. We got some water coming up through the basement but not nearly as bad as my neighbors.







Ok so onto the things I learned this past week:
1. Sean Mcdonough still kicks it at Bruins games.
2. Alex's in Stoughton is basically a bar that has naked broads walking around - $3.00 draft beers, $5.00 drink specials and $1.00 lap dances.
3. People are excited for the Whitley Post Christmas regift Yankee swap.
4. Sump pumps are a must have for any house by the water.
5. Best Christmas gift a huge smoker from Jeffrey.
6. I can see why people use the stairmaster at the gym. After going up and down the stairs with 5 gallon buckets of water for over 4 hours I feel refreshed.
7. Not everyone was as excited about the $50 dollar gift card yankee swap.
8. The Social Security office is a strange place. Reminded me of the waiting room in Beetlejuice -
9. I find it weird when the bartender at a strip club is a male. Just weird.
10. ..and maybe invest in a generator as well.
11. I will never complain that my wife has a blanket on the bed that is like a lead apron after Mondays fiasco.
12. The biggest 4 month old, and my god daughter/niece Sharon, ever -
13. After everything that happened with/at the house this weekend I feel like Bruce Willis in Die Hard:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HangrqTEBTw

"come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs" but all I hear is "Lets buy a house, near the beach, it will be awesome".
14. I will never ever make fun of them nuts who swarm to the supermarket when its going to snow.
15. 48 degrees is cold but even colder when its your house.
16. During a flood/blizzard/storm is  not the best time for me to learn to swim.
17.  Ginger Ale is underrated.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Bad Ass Dog #6 Derek should get Doberman Pinscher





Doberman Pinschers are the target of a mistaken stereotype of ferocity and aggression.[10][11] As a personal protection dog, the Doberman was originally bred for these traits:[11] it had to be large and intimidating, fearless and willing to defend its owner, but sufficiently obedient and restrained to only do so on command.[11] These traits served the dog well in its role as a personal defense dog, police dog or war dog, but were not ideally adapted to a companionship role. In recent decades, the Doberman Pinscher's size, short coat, and intelligence made it a desirable house dog. Although these dogs are mistaken for their aggression, they are extremely loyal. They can easily learn to 'Respect and Protect' their owners.[12]

In response, they are excellent guard dogs that protect their loved ones. They are generally sociable towards humans and can be with other dogs, ranking among the more-likely breeds to show aggressive behaviour toward strangers and other dogs but not among the most likely. They are very unlikely to show aggressive behaviour towards their owners.[10][11][13][14]

There is evidence that Doberman Pinschers in North America are calmer than their European counterparts because of these breeding strategies.[15] Because of these differences in breeding strategies, different lines of Doberman Pinschers have developed different traits. Although many contemporary Doberman Pinschers in North America are gentle, loyal, loving, and intelligent dogs, some lines are bred more true to the original personality standard.[12]

Although the stereotype is largely mistaken, the personality of the Doberman Pinscher is peculiar to the breed. There is a great deal of scientific evidence that Doberman Pinschers have a number of stable psychological traits, such as personality factors and intelligence. As early as 1965, studies have shown that there are several broad behavioral traits that significantly predict behavior and are genetically determined.[16] Subsequently, there have been numerous scientific attempts to quantify canine personality or temperament by using statistical techniques for assessing personality traits in humans. These studies often vary by identifying different personality factors, and by ranking breeds differently along these dimensions. One such study found that Doberman Pinschers, compared to other breeds, rank high in playfulness, average in curiosity/fearlessness, low on aggressiveness and low on sociability.[17] Another such study ranked Doberman Pinschers low on reactivity/surgence, and high on aggression/disagreeableness and openness/trainability

This is my personel favorite as the dog to get. I would of love to have this dog but was overidden by Mrs. ChiefDude due to the fact she thought it would eat are kids.

Onto to the next one

First off I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy New years, Happy Hanukkah and Cheery Kwanzaa!












 I had planned to do a dart review from Thursdays nights match, yesterday, but I just didn't have it in me. Now I know what you may be thinking, uh-oh they must of lost and D must be upset. It wasn't even like that. It was the shots and free beers from the bar that made me not have any zip yesterday. I am back and refreshed and I will put together a review(from whatever I can remember).


 The French Club in Chelsea is one of those member only clubs, where you can still smoke and when you leave you probably have inhaled 5 packs of butts. We started off the night up 6-5 and if we could bang out a quick 6 we could be on our way home. Like everything we do it wasn't easy. I flipped the 601 teams around and we came out with 2 wins, up 8-5. Next up was our nemesis cricket. The first match had Brighty and Jeffrey winning, up 9-5. (Mario happened to show up and show some love for the dart team but the smoke proved to be too much and he skipped out before the 301 matches.) The second match seemed to last forever with our team battling for every point but in the end Welchie and KevBarry couldn't pull off the win, up 9-6.The third match was a bigger battle as Jeb and Foley went back and forth picking up points and closing numbers but in the end they also lost, 9-7. Are we starting to worry? Not yet, but some of the team had already thought the match was over when we went up 9-5 and started looking towards who our next opponent would be. We had to stop that kind of talk as we moved to 301.

Our 301 line up looks like this:
1. Jeffrey
2. Welchie
3. Brighty
4. Supah P
5. Jeb
6. Foley

Jeffrey played well but missed a few opportunities to capitalize on some mistakes by their best player so in the end he lost, up 9-8.  We are still  not worried but palms are starting to sweat. We need at least 2 wins in the next 5 matches to have a playoff and 3 to move on. Welch banged and battled and in the end he came out on the losing end of his match, 9-9. We are officially tied and need a way to stop the bleeding. Brighty has been our best and most consistent 301 player this season and its his turn. He was having a hard time getting in and things were looking bleak, all of a sudden, like someone turned on a light switch he started playing lights out, HUGE win 10-9. Supah P turn to get us at least the tie, both players played well, P loses, tied up again 10-10. Knowing what is at stake Jeb takes it right to their captain and beats HER, up 11-10. At the very least we are in a 3 game playoff. Foley is at his best when the pressures on. He took the final match in deciding fashion, winners 12-10. We do not know who our opponent is yet but I do know we are in the semi finals.

I wonder why...

Week 15 recap

Week 15 has come and gone!! The races are getting tight! 
Beach Bums two weeks ago was 92.5 out of first they are now 27.5!! They are this weeks winners with a whopping 176.5! Sending notice to all that ground can be made up and made up quickly if you make the right moves!! TMX which is always here to help gave some advice to team Smelchie that they may want to back up AP on Monday night. It was quickly met with team spokesman Wes Cash saying they had faith in their rb staff and wouldnt make any moves. That was overturned by the leader of the squad Smiddawg himself! They picked up Gerhart and inserted him into the lineup when AP was a late scratch!! Its moves like these that could make or break their season we are witnessing a historical fall and rise if MFNMP is able to rise and make it to the money!! The bottom is just as tight 59pts separates the bottom 3 and 71 for the bottom 4! 

Now on to the last place finisher- Bobby Browns Other Kid. The breakdown is as follows: Campbell 15pts; Mccoy 9; Stewart 17.5; Austin 10.5; Wayne 5.5; McMichael 7.5; Reed 1; Titans 12 for a total of 78 points! Mr Bbrown is no stranger to this column we've made numerous calls on his behalf in an attempt to help him. At this point he made want to just put out who he thinks he should start and then start his bench. This week that bench scored 106 points!!! The 28 point difference would have jumped him to 8th instead of 9th where he is now!! 



Obviously this approach made not always work so we instead made another call to a man we have on speed dial Mr Miles Austin. Hey Miles its us TMX whats going on? " man why you bugging me this week I got a td i'm doing all I can for Bbrown, lay off bro, lay off" Whoaaa easy Miles we were calling you to say thanks for finding the endzone, although the old goat Kitna threw for 300yds and you got only 38? what gives? " Look I told you the fool cant throw it deep why dont you ask Reggie Wayne what his deal is? Some concussed clown tripled his points" Eeeek uhm ok Miles good luck this week. Obviously the pressure is mounting down in the basement. We did Miles the favor and called Mr. Wayne. Hi Reggie its TMX hows it going? "TM-who how'd you get my number, did i go to the U with you? I aint never heard of no TMX?" Well we report on fantasy sports and we were wondering if you knew you had 5 catches for 34yds this week basically killing team Bbrown? " wait hold up, i put up 38pts two weeks ago and team Bbrown aint said NOTHING you tell dat fool it MY PREROGATIVE yeah you heard me and tell P-manning  to stop throwing to the dude who gets concussions! R-wheezey OUT. Well I think TMX just about guaranteed a big game from Mr. Wayne!

Once again TMX here to help! Guy sounded fired up!! Two weeks left lets finish strong and dont QUIT like Iggles did! Happy Holidays to all and Folan.com will be open late for last minute Christmas and early Kwanzaa gifts. 

Round 2

DJ Brighto in the house
(if thats not xmas spirit then what is?)

So Brighty went out and bought himself some DJ equipment and last night he made his debut on the ones and twos during dart playoffs. Throughout the night there was plenty of old school hip hop and we didn't have to feed the juke box, so thats a win-win for everyone involved. I know what does DJ Brighto being unleashed to the world actually have to do with darts? I am getting to that. About 3/4th of the way through the night a girl on the other team came over and asked if Brighty does weddings? He kindly explains that he just got the equipment and he is trying to figure it all out. She wouldn't let it go so they settled on $500 bucks and her getting him a tux.  DJ Brighto has his first paying gig on June 11th for some darting couple from Chelsea. If anyone is looking for a CHEAP  DJ for your next wedding, party, bar mitzvah or just to play at your world of warcraft night at your place call up Brighto, 857-247-2820! That number and his beats are REAL!

I just want to preface this review/diatribe with I should not of gone out to the Texas Saloon after darts. My brain doesn't want to start up and work properly today so I am just going to wing it.

We started off a little late as the other team had some players lost ON THE MASS PIKE! How someone gets lost on the Pike coming from Chelsea is beyond me but hey it happened. We had the same trouble getting in and out as last Tuesday with our 601's, we split tied up 1-1. Brighty and Jeffrey came out swinging in cricket and won a quick match, up 2-1. Despite some great darts from KevBarry(I think he may of been taking a few weeks off and practicing in his basement) we then drop back to back cricket games to go down 3-2. Some how I feel like we have all been here before. Hoping to get things moving in 301's and get some points back we send Jeffrey to the line, they send their best player; he lost we are down 4-2. Welchie made quick work of their captain, down 4-3(She was bitter for the rest of the night). Batting 3rd, Brighty who lost the 1st of his 301's but came roaring back to win, tied up 4-4. In the longest match ever, with both players being stuck on double 1 for over 1/2 hour, Supah P comes through, up 5-4. Mike Foley next to try and extend the lead, he played much better than he did in cricket, up 6-4. CBV can make going to the French Club on Thursday that much easier with a win but it wasn't meant to be as he dropped the last match, 6-5. The two teams are evenly matched and should be for a good second round on Thursday, the race to 12 is on. By the way for all the shit that Foley gives everyone when they are scoring, on numerous occasions his math was off.

(Yes that is my brother getting ready for darts last night, thats how he rolls!)

Call of Duty: Black Ops" sets record for Activision

Call of Duty: Black Ops
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Activision Blizzard Inc has raked in more than $1 billion in worldwide sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops (Buy | Search), the latest installment of the U.S. game publisher's most successful franchise.

That performance built on the previous benchmark of $650 million of sales in the game's first five days, which set a five-day global record for a movie, book or videogame, the company said.

"In all of entertainment, only 'Call of Duty' and 'Avatar' have ever achieved the billion dollar revenue milestone this quickly," Activision Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick said in a statement, referring to the blockbuster alien epic helmed by James Cameron.

Wall Street's expectations run high for Activision's holiday quarter, based also on the company's latest World of Warcraft (Buy | Search) installment.

But sales in the $50 billion U.S. video game industry -- which has been slow to bounce back from the recession -- are down 5 percent for the year to November 30.

Despite a strong November, research group NPD estimates that overall sales of gaming hardware and software for 2010 are likely to range from $18.8 billion to $19.6 billion, the top of which would be roughly flat with last year.

Bad Ass Dog #5 Derek should get Thai Ridgeback





The Thai Ridgeback is a muscular, medium-sized pariah-type dog with a wedge-shaped head, triangular-shaped prick ears, and a very short, smooth coat. It has a pronounced ridge on its back formed by hair growing in the opposite direction that extends from behind the withers to the hips. Puppies are occasionally born ridgeless. Thai Ridgebacks have a muscular and streamlined body, making them extremely agile. The tail is carried upward called a sickle or sword tail. Its forehead wrinkles with enormous expression. Like many eastern breeds, the Thai Ridgeback has retained a 'scissor jaw' where upper and lower teeth interlock when the jaw bones clamp down. The tongue can be black or have black marks. Eyes are almond-shaped and brown but may be amber in blue dogs. The ears are set low and point slightly outward. The ears stand up progressively during the puppy growth period, they are not cropped. The back is straight and level. The coat is short, hard, and straight. Due to the length and density of the coat shedding is minimal, occurring once or twice yearly. Because this breed does not have an undercoat the hair does not usually bother people allergic to other breeds of dogs. Coat must be solid colors of blue, black, red or fawn with a black mask being acceptable on reds. However, brindle and white are also found but are not acceptable colors. For international show and competition, shoulder height should be 22-24 inches (56-61 cm) in males and 20-22 inches (51-56 cm) in females. The weight averages 35–55lbs in females and 40-60lbs in males.Thai Ridgebacks are an intelligent breed. The energy level is typically medium to high, with most of the day spent lounging and activity periods occurring in sporadic bursts. Well bred and properly socialized Thai Ridgebacks make loyal, loving family pets. They are naturally protective of their home and family and can be aggressive or shy when not properly socialized. They are best kept by consistent owners who have a thorough understanding of dog behavior. Because of prior geographic isolation and lack of human contact, the Thai Ridgeback remains independent minded and much of the original natural instinct and drives remain intact, particularly prey drive. Due to its nature, the Thai Ridgeback is not recommended for the novice dog handler. They have an excellent jumping ability and may seek to roam if not properly contained.

All you bitch ass Dog Haters suck it I'm doing it until he gets a fucking dog. Don't like it buy Derek a Dog and I'll stop.............HAHA Bitches.

Votes are in

I know that people don't collect baseball cards like they used to. Part of the reason is you have to get inserts of inserts of the rookies only double secret limited edition cards for them to be worth any money, and really who can keep up?

Most impressive

GLENOLDEN — A Ridley Township man allegedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.62 when he was found passed out in a car in front of a local Wawa, according to court documents.

Christian Matthew Sweeney is scheduled to appear in Glenolden District Court today for a hearing on charges filed after his latest drunken driving arrest, his third, according to court documents.

The 39-year-old Folsom man was arrested for DUI on Dec. 20, 1999, and again on March 4 of this year. Both times, Sweeney was admitted to a special probationary program, or ARD.

This time, however, he’s facing a minimum of 90 days in the county jail if found guilty.

Sweeney, who resides in the 300 block of Tasker Avenue, was found sitting in the driver’s seat of a maroon Oldsmobile at 5:48 p.m. Dec. 6 in front of the Wawa on North MacDade Boulevard, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest. Police were called.

Cpl. Stephen Powers responded to the Wawa and found Sweeney, who appeared unconscious. The keys to the Oldsmobile were in the ignition, its engine was running, and the headlights were on, the affidavit states.

“I opened the unlocked driver’s side door and shook the male several times, but he did not wake up,” Powers wrote in the affidavit. “The male was breathing and I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath.”

Below the driver’s seat and on the front passenger seat were numerous cans of cold Bud Ice beer, some empty and some full, the affidavit states.

Sweeney was transported to Taylor Hospital for treatment. According to the affidavit, Sweeney’s blood alcohol level was .62 at the hospital. In Pennsylvania, as in most states, a person is considered legally drunk when their blood alcohol level is .08 or more.

A check of Sweeney’s criminal record indicates that after both of his prior DUI arrests he was approved for ARD. 


Holy shit!! POINT SIX TWO! .062! El punto seis dos! That is almost 8 times the legal limit! EIGHT TIMES! If I said it once I've said it a thousand times. DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BUD ICE!!   I know that I have drank a 12 pack of that shit and woke up the next day on the floor in a puddle of my own drool. Plus you cant have a Bud Ice without thinking of the Bud Ice Penguins - doobie doobie do. 1. I can't believe this guys not dead. 2. How does he still have a license. 3. Where can I meet him?

Dart Darts Darting

Well, since I have been back from my honeymoon, I have been waiting for Mike "Prez" Foley to do a dart update. I mean where is the run down of  last matches of the season, where the winner  moved into the playoffs and the loser went home to go sledding till next season? It is now almost 2 weeks later and still no updates...WTF MAN?

So as el capitan of this darting ship, I am going to do a review. So to answer your question, yes the guys won 8-3 while I was away and not only squeaked into the playoffs but secured the 3rd seed. Combining Tuesdays and Thursdays dart matches together here's the review. (Just a FYI dart playoffs is a race to 12. Whatever team gets there wins and moves on. It is also a home and home series).


 As you can see, some people take their darting a little more serious than others.

Tuesday we started off with a surprise guest appearance from Crazy Bob Valente, CBV as he is known in darting circles(I guess CBV has been busy doing security/body guard duty and can't make it to darts, where are your priorities man?). The matches were fast moving and we were having trouble getting IN and OUT of the 601 matches; quickly we were down 0-2. We tried to rally and get claw back into the match during the cricket matches but we lost 2 of the next 3. So before we start any of the 301 matches we are down 4-1. Not an ideal way to start but we are not a team to get down on ourselves. After some jokes at Cliff Huxtables oops Jeb's sweaters expense we righted our ship and got back on track winning the first 3 matches and tieing things up at 4-4. I lost the 4th match but that didn't dampen our spirits, as we have plenty of fight and lots of booze to battle on. Now down 5-4 and Mike Foley stepping to the board, the laughs are rolling - maybe due to the numb nuts himself putting his METAL darts into a gas heater and him not thinking they would instantaneously heat up but hey who knows, the kid pulls through. All tied up, one match to go and their best player stepping to the line. We don't care. They could of sent Phil the Power Taylor up there. No one was beating Jeb! The kid was straight gasoline -game, match, set, wham, bam, thank  you ma'am. We are heading to their bar in Everett up 6-5.

Thursday finds us all meeting at Peggys before the match so that we can eat and car pool. There was a real loosey goosey feeling among the guys. I think I saw Shawn Larrie Bobby Kevin  cock grabbing, not too sure. Heading to the lions den/Everett and CBV is of course not showing. No worries, we got this, right?!? Not only is this the second half of a dart playoff match but also their bars Christmas party. Like this is a distraction to us? Free food, more people to watch the show and their other team also in the playoffs playing as well. BRING IT.

We lose the first 601, tied up again 6-6. Then we start rolling taking 3 of the next 4 matches, we are up 9-7. Only 6 matches left and the race is on, we need 3 they need 5 to move on. They front stack their team this night, placing their ace first. I believe this may of offended Jeffrey as he played lights out, up 10-7. Welchie, up next, fights for every point but his opponent squeaks by, up 10-8. Brighty's turn and as he has for most of the season, the kid bring homes a huge win, 11-8. We have 3 matches left and we need only 1 win. Surely Supah P, Jeb or Foley can bang out a quick win. I got up to get a round of beers, come back and Supah has already lost, 11-9. Can Tuesday nights hero, Jeb, keep it going and take us to the next round? The match went back and forth but in the end Jeb lost, 11-10.

Do we panic? Do we start to feel deflated? Not in the least bit. I do what any good captain would do. I buy a round, hand Foley his beer and tell him that this is the reason I filled out the roster the way I did. Now if Foley loses and they tie it up at 11-11 we go to a 3 game sudden death match - 1 game of 601, 1 game of cricket and 1 game of 301. So what does Foley do? He loses the 1st match but as we all know you need to win 2 in 301. This seems to fire up Foley, next thing I know he ties his match up at 1-1 and the last match is for all the marbles. They win, sudden death playoff, he wins we move onto round 2.
The 3rd match starts hot and fast, Foley gets right in and bangs down his number. He gets to an out number but starts to chase it till he gets to double 1. Needless to say I bet Foley is still on cloud 9 with a shit eating grin today because he banged that double 1 like a nymphomaniac after a sexaholics anonymous meeting, win 12-10.

On a side note - after I played our teams theme song - MY DICK by Mickey Avalon



The bar patrons skipped all my next songs...HAAAAAAAAA take a joke Everett.

See you guys next week for round 2 of the playoffs!

Bad Ass Dog #4 Derek should get Caucasian Shepherd Dog





Caucasian Shepherd Dogs are strongly-boned, muscular and even-tempered Molossers. The breed has two types: mountain and plain. Plain dogs have a shorter coat and appear taller as they are more lightly built. Mountain dog types have a heavier coat and are more muscularly built. The breed's weight range is 46–82 kg (102–180 pounds), although individuals over 100 kg (220 pounds) are not uncommon, and the height range is 74–88 cm (28-35 inches)

Softness and vicious temperaments are considered serious faults for the breed. Generally healthy and long lived, hip dysplasia, obesity and occasional heart problems are known to occur. The ears of the Caucasian Shepherd are traditionally cropped, although some modern dogs are unaltered. The preferred show-types are the long-coated grey dogs with some white markings. Black or black-and-tan dogs are often not acceptable in the show ring. The minimum height is 24.5 inches with no upper limit.

[edit] Temperament
Caucasian Shepherds are typically assertive, brave, alert, strong, hardy and courageous to a fault. They are probably the most aggressive natural guard dog bred in domesticity and truly second to none in bellicosity towards strangers. Unless properly socialised, they may exhibit ferocious and unmanageable tendencies. They seldom have time for strangers (but will greet family friends warmly) and have powerful guarding instincts. Everything and everyone who belongs to the family, including children, cats, other dogs, etc. will be regarded by this dog as part of its family and as such will fall under its guardianship. Owing to their size and nature these dogs should not be left alone with children. Aggression and dominance toward unknown dogs should be expected unless the animal has been extensively socialised at a young age and even then some unwanted behaviours may occur. This dog breed requires an owner who knows how to display strong, calm and balanced leadership and one who is willing to spend a lot of time ensuring the development of a well-balanced animal.

Week 14

Well week 14 is in the books!! Its heating up on both ends!! 
 
This weeks winner was THE REAL STEVE SMITHS! His second straight week with monday night action!! TMX is fond of former nfl announcer John Madden and his quote describing Vincent "Bo" Jackson " he is so fast he doesnt look back, no reason to look back when you're that fast cuz nobody's catching you". Pretty sure team Asparagus hasnt looked back but a few other guys may wanna think about it because teams are closing in on the leaders as well as people in the basement closing in on the dress watch! 
 
Now on to our last place finisher BBrowns Other kid who finished with 77 points this week the totals are as follows-  Orton MINUS 1; Fred Jackson 11.5; Shady Mccoy 20.5; Austin 5; Wayne 17; Cooley 3; Brown 7; Vikings D 9. 
 
Miles Austin was the first player TMX called to straighten this situation out. Hey Miles its your friends at TMX and no we arent calling about Kim K its about football "Hey TMX how are you guys whats good?" Nothing just wondering why you are trying to kill BBrowns team, you realize he traded Drew Brees for you right? "hahaha he did what? you're joking? man good one! anyway, how can you expect me to put up numbers when that old goat Kitna cant throw over 10yds?" Thats true but the kid is relying on you to produce how about breaking one on with an end around or something? " Nah dog aint gonna happen, who else did he get for Brees? start him! I gotta go" Eeek well TMX made another call for BBrown to Mr. Drew Brees. 
 
Hey Drew its TMX whats going on? "nothing just slinging tds to every open reciever I see" Hmmm is there any chance you can throw a couple to Miles Austin? " you got it TMX what numbers he wearing? I make people stars! tell him to get open and whammo td city, I gotta run and throw more tds" Well, I'm not sure if Brees can do it but I'm certainly not counting him out!! There are 3 weeks left plenty of time for movement to the top and to the bottom check the matchups and make sure to get your lineups in and dont get welkered like they wizards did this week!
