TMX week 2

Tmx week 2 report is here.

Tmx is a fantasy football reporting media with an association with the number 9 reporting site Folan.com. Tmx is COMMITTED to 85% truth in all reports!! There were some big weeks by alot of big name players as well as some tough injuries to big name players. The winner this week was once again the Slippery Wizards. Tmx dreadfully made the call to the Wizards team owner. Hey its Tmx looking to hear a comment about your week 2 win. Sounding groggy and possibly under the influenc, " who's this? oh Tmx yeah I've been up all night hoping to pull off this win, what the hells up with only 2pts for a safety? this league is out to stop the Wizards from winning" Uhmm you were ahead by 70 going into the night game and your defense didnt even get a safety? " hold up Tmx you anti Wizards too? first no bonus for my qb getting 500yd or even 400yds now 2pts for a safety. I'm done. I gotta hit the waiver wire and get a defense that gets safeties CLICK. Well there you have it. Guess two wins still wont make the Wizards stop complaining.

Now onto what Tmx is really here for- TO HELP. This weeks last place team was Dillons Villenz here are the totals- Kolb 20pts; Mccoy 25; Mendenhall 14; Mike Williams 0.5 ( note he had MINUS four yards rec); D. Jackson 3pts; Chandler 8pts; Janinkowski 5pt; Pats d 14pts for a total of 89.5. The easy choice for why the Villenz came in last would be the MINUS 4 yds recieving Mike Williams finished with. Guy played a whole game and thats what he ends up with? Wow. Tmx however did countless hours of investigative research and player analysis to find the problem. The problem is the Villenz have too many rbs. Tmx never recommends trades but in this situation it may need to be explored!! As a manager you need to have choices but when you get overwelmed it creates a bad clubhouse. How do you look at the guys you benched and say sorry this guys better? YOU CANT. Tmx made the call to good friend of Tmx Rashard Mendenhall. Hey Mendy its yours friends at Tmx. " ooh bet, did i get Tmx player of the week? I brought one to the house saved Big Ben on that one. This is sweet" Uhmm actually we are calling cuz you were the lowest scorer on Villenz team and we need to know if you can step it up? " Tmx you joking? what is dudes team all rbs or something? dang, have him trade me an rb I'm in Mjd's league can he cross trade? I mean I got 66yds and a td maybe he got too many rbs or something. Call me when I get Tmx player of the week bro. Mendy out" Jeez sounds like the clubhouse isnt happy. Well Tmx wishes the Villenz well and hopes they solve the problem!

Now onto the All Iggles Team.

The all Iggles team is dedicated to former Iggles owner that left the league in a storm of controversy which involved quitting the league and selling off team assets. These players are the ones Iggles owner would have started and the members of the league chose not to for whatever reason;

QB- Cam Newton 33pt ( WIZARDS)
RB- F. Jackson 31pts ( BEACH BUMS)
RB- R. Mathews 21.5 ( VILLENZ)
WR- S Johnson 19 ( VILLENZ)
WR- D. Bowe 18.5 (DEVILS)
TE- T. Gonzalez 23.5 (SFLABOHFRW)- Editors note- there was a TE with .5 more points but since Sflabo's starter got ZERO we chose this guy. Iggles would want it that way
DEF- Saints 21 (TMFNTM)
K- Tony Franklin- one cold toe.

This weeks total was 167.5 down from 193 last week. I'm guessing the reason is the shame that is associated with being on an all Iggles team. Apparently Wizards and Beach Bums like the squad as they combined for 64pts!!! Tmx is investigating if Beach Bums sat F. Jax as a sort of "thanks for gore" tribute. Either way lets try to keep the Iggles team in the 80's people!! Now onto the tmx player of the week

Tmx player of the week is the player who came out of nowhere and got it done. This player is usually not one of your first players taken Tmx expects them to excel. This week we had a clutch 40pt performance for Jeremy Maclin and a 4td game from Matt Stafford but with Stafford sitting alot of the 4th quarter and doing team Hoodsie wrong by not coming out for 6 more yards to get him the 300yd bonus he was out. Maclin's performance was great but Tmx went with Tony "Holy" Romo as the player of the week. He put up good numbers and left the game only to see Jon Kitna come in and throw 2 picks so he said put me back in and leads the team to victory. He did all of this with a punctured lung and cracked rib!!! Thats Tmx player of the week type stuff. Get better Romo and congrats. We didnt want to disturb Romo so we call wide reciever X ( that dallas wr who got caught at the 1 when he should have had a long run and got Romo a td and bettors a cover) Hey its Tmx what's good wide reciever x? " why aint you using my name? you see that play?" tmx hears what sounds like a door getting kicked in then " what the? who are you? whats a skza? no no i didnt know you had money on the game..........CLICK" Well I hope wide receiver X is ok.

Til next week hope everyone is healthy and outscores the Iggles.

TMX is back

Welcome back Fantasy Football!!

TMX here for another season. Tmx is a fantasy reporting media with close ties to the number nine website in America Folan.com. Tmx as always is COMMITTED to the truth ( 85% or greater). Before we get to the recap Tmx would like to apologize for not having a draft recap, we hired former owner Bill "truthless" Smiddy to do the recap and he no-showed on draft day. Lesson learned. I do have the quote of the draft from Leslie to Mungo " i'm not on the menu yet but i might be later" that more or less sums up the draft. Now on to week one action!!!

This weeks winner- The Slippery Wizards with God Brady having a career day. We attempted to get a quote out of the talkative Wizard GM but with all his usual bitching "what? why is there no bonus for 400yds or 500yds passing? the league hates wizards always has" we just spared the blog his rant. Tmx is after all here to help. Now onto to helping out first week last place team- White Devils. On paper or on a computer like they used at the draft the Devils look to be a favorite but as they say the games aint played on paper.

The totals are as follows:
Big Ben 9
Charles 12.5
SJax 11
Bowe 2
Wallace 19
Finley 6.5
Crosby 6
Chiefs d 3
for a total 69 ( insert Chrissy giggle here).

Tmx in and effort to help did extensive research to try and identify the problem and came up with- THREE CHIEFS in your starting lineup? Look we all know the damage done by their championship run with 3 Patriots guiding them to victory but starting Bowe, Charles and the Chiefs d seems to be putting to much on a team that well is without Charlie Weiss and Tmx doesnt see as being that good. We could put in a too many chiefs not even injuns joke but we will spare the humor as first week losses sting enough already. Tmx called a good friend Steven Jackson to ask him what happened to the devils. " Hey sjax its us Tmx whats good?" "Yooo tmx you see me break off that long run, dreads flowing i felt good like back in my wizard days, right" "Uhmm yeah steven but then you sat out the rest of the game killing the devils?" " true true but them dudes wanna play all chiefs anyway im a take next week off to get some appreciations, peace tmx" Well there you have it, not sure what appreciations is or how taking a week off gets it but............

This season in appreciation or mocking you decide Tmx is going to have the all Iggles team. A tribute or kick in the teeth of former owner and writer for the blog. The all iggles team will be comprised of players Iggles would have played and you didnt cuz as we know he's a fantasy genius. We will not have a kicker on the team ( calm down wizards with your kicker love- sflabo went without one this week). Each week the kicker will stay the same. Tony Franklin ( no relation to Hoodsies dog), an iggles type guy, barefoot kicker on cold weather teams.

NOW ONTO THE FIRST ALL IGGLES TEAM:

QB- Mark Sanchez 27 pt ( Villenz )
RB- Mike Toblert 30.5pt ( Slippery Wizards)
RB- Cedric Benson 23.5pt( Bring back Mungo)
WR- S. Smith 38pt( TMFNTM)
WR- K. Britt 32.5pt ( White Devils)
TE- A. Hernandez 24.5pt( White Devils)
DEF- Raiders 17pt ( Villenz)
K- Tony Franklin- 1 cold foot.

Team iggles scored 193 points that adsl left on the bench this week. Its week one but lets hope the Wizards, TMFNTM and White Devils do some better managing or team iggles will walk away with this thing and who wants an iggles win?!!

This week TMX player of the week is Wes Welker from the Jerkshots. I know Brady would be most peoples choice but Tmx went with Welker and his 37pts. Plenty of reason for this one, the least of which is it took Team Jerkshots 34 minutes to make Welker their first wr off the board and when it was made there was outright laughter and gasps. At Tmx we give credit where its do, kudos to Team Jerkshots. We attempted to reach GM Wes Cash but as is known at Tmx he is not readily available for comment and denied our request. We also tried to get a quote from the mysterious partner known only as The Notorious J.E.B. and was told its not happening. Tmx is on the case to speak with one of these two for next weeks blog to get a feel of whats going on in the Jerkshots camp as they have made it clear they will be contenders.

GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK, if you got any info fantasy worthy hit TMX up.

TMX Fantasy review of Week 9

From the desk of TMX a fantasy football reporting source with a loose affiliation with folan.com...

Week 9 is in the books!!

UNMARKED BILLS featuring bobbybrownsotherkid put together back to back victories. TMX spoke with the architect of UNMARKED BILLS James Gaurino who worked with the GM and instructed him to "take arian foster as soon as you can".
Mr. Guarino spoke with TMX and was ask if he was paid for his services or is getting any of the winnings? The answer was "no I am not and thats why I'm speaking to a highly recognizable and honest( 30% guaranteed) operation like TMX. All I wanted was to be mentioned for the hard work I put in to build UNMARKED BILLS" Well, Mr. Guarino TMX mentioned you and sees your efforts (counterfit BILLS?), kudos.

Now it's on to the last place finisher BEACH BUMS. They finished with the highest last place total yet and a score I'm sure the Slippery Wizards would be happy to achieve on a weekly basis 90.5. The breakdown is as follows- Rodgers 33; Forte 8.5; Mendenhall 19.5; Jennings 17.5; Calvin Johnson 1.5; Jason Witten 5.5; Pats D 4; and Gotskowski 1pt.

TMX tried to figure out what went wrong to help BEACH BUMS but when looking he started the players needed made moves that had to be made but stars didnt perform like stars and that is going to happen. TMX did however make a call to the Patriots whole team to speak with the defense and ask Gotskowski what his deal is. Hi Patriots this is TMX looking for some answers and we were immediately transferred to Wes Welker who asked " is this Randy? Randy are you coming back? Please come back Randy they are seeing how bad I am" We told him it was TMX and we needed to talk to some players who play. Gotskowski then got on the phone and was asked how hurt he was? "dude i'm a kicker I wasnt hurt I got Wes on my fantasy team and needed the points so i asked to sit out" CASE SOLVED. TMX then spoke with Brandon Merriweather representing the Pats D and asked how did you only get 4 points? " did you see the four running backs they had?(think it was just one guy?) hitting me like the big bang clock? act like lil kids" NO IDEA what Mr. Merriweather was talking about but he was obviously still woozing from getting run over from Peyton Hillis.

Well its off to week 10, the last bye week, then the final stretch. The trade deadline hasn't come so if your team is "acting like lil kids" maybe make a trade but whatever you do don't QUIT like Iggles did.

Good luck this week and remember FOLAN.COM for everything.

Fantasy Recap

From the desk of TMX a fantasy football reporting source with a loose affiliation with folan.com...


Well week 8 is in the books!! TMX which as always aims to inform and please the public and stands by its COMMITMENT to at least 30% honest reporting had a few complaints that they do not acknowledge the team that wins the week but only brings out the last place team for shame and ridicule. TMX will make efforts to mention the first place team but the intent is to help the last place team and we find shame and ridicule is a great motivator. UNMARKED BILLS (aka team smelchie, aka smiddawgs) won the week(124) getting 74.5 points from 3 players which was more than the 65.5 points that SKZA’Z SOLDIERZ entire team put up. The Soldierz took home last place with that performance.

TMX is a huge fantasy reporting operation and does not have the time to go into each teams history or management team but will mention Skza is routinely in the upper half of the league and finishes in the money so we don’t anticipate offering any advice that this winning manager doesn’t already know. We will start with Wes Welker is available. If you’re looking for a poor wide receiver option on the Patriots why go with Deion Branch when you can have the new 83? You’re buying hydrox cookies when you can have oreos kid!! TMX is not expecting you to know that Mike Sims-Walker would go off for 30pts but you had to have a clue that Branch wouldn’t? This mistake cost you a chance to make a move during a bye week which is tough to do. Patrick Crayton is the first ever bench player to ever contact TMX!! The following is the exchange- “yo this TMX” yup this is TMX who is this? “ Its Patrick Crayton, you know a marginal wide receiver who played for the cowboys and now I’m on the chargers” uhhhm ok can we help you? “ yeah tell that Skza guy I put up 2.5pts in my sleep and it took Branch an entire game to get that, fool want some fool got some Patrick Crayton out to run a route Peaches and Herb homie” click. No clue what “out to run a route means or peaches and herb homie but we can all see your backup backup backup wr was calling you out Mr Skza.

TMX as in the policy did make a call to the player on the team we feel needed to be heard from in this case its Mike Sims-Walker.
MSW released a statement “ This kid has a history of doing this you saw how he sat roddy white, its almost like he does it on purpose. I put up numbers if he don’t want my numbers then so be it” Well, I guess Mr Skza you need to decide if you want his numbers? If you don’t learn from history you are bound to repeat it.

TMX is widely popular and does not need the self promotion but we would be amiss if we didn’t mention we are the EXCLUSIVE site of The Real Decision. Known playboy William J Smiddy will announce exclusively if he will be bringing a lucky lady to the wedding of the year on TMX Thursday!!! The list of options is endless and TMX is being flooded with calls of possible ladies. Follow TMX on the text for the breaking news.


Good luck this week to each team and you’re all winners cuz you didn’t QUIT like Iggles did. Remember folan.com for everything t-shirts are available on the site mention TMX and get a 10% discount off a purchase of $45.00 or more. Don't forget to stock up on Eau D'Smiddy.

After week 9 the league is shaping up like this:
1. DEVILS 998.0
2. UNMARKBILL 900.0
3. BEACHBUMS 846.5
4. VILLENZ 834.5
5. THE REAL STEVE SMITH 824.0
6. MFNMP 799.0

APB

My friends and I were bullshitting earlier today and we we got on the subject of this blog. We can't remember the last time Stylegal wrote up anything. Now I know she fell in love but hell some of our female audience loved the shit that she posted. Where oh where are you stylegal? I mean can't you post who had the best halloween costume from a celebrity? Who got recently arrested? What is Lindsay Lohan up to? This blog needs some womanly touch to it. As this conversation went on we started talking about Iggles. Where are you Iggles? Your non Massachusetts view on all things Boston was insightful. I miss your snarky comments, your writing style and most of all your piss and vinegar attitude. Will you be coming back? Remember when Rio did reviews of movies and television shows? It was like a blog version of cliffs notes.

I never saw one episode of Sons of Anarchy but man I could get a B-/C+ if there was ever a pop quiz on it. I vaguely remember the Chiefdude posting political babble and GIWLTF every week. Maybe he could start writing about his life? What it is like to be married? What its like having 2 young boys and a dog and how he tries to juggle it all. Or maybe just once a month he can bring back GIWLTF.

I am not complaining we have the ghost writer from TMX for fantasy and The Prez writing about darts. Plus I write and chime in when I can. I just miss the different things that people posted. Anyone new want to start posting? Just email me and I can set you up with a password and what have you.



Now onto a side note. Would anyone be interested in purchasing a bottle of Eau D'Smiddy? He is doing a side venture with the help of some backers to create his own cologne. It will be available exclusively through drunknothings.com to fund folan.com and the Smiduation's expanding empire. Unlike most colognes that are sold in 4oz - 8 oz bottles this will be sold in 12 oz, 16 oz, 40 oz and keg sizes.
Please contact the Smiduation at Smidawg Production @ 781-632-3296 if you are interested in cologne or if the ladies are looking for a date, he is your man. Heard a rumor that he may be at Foxwoods resort and casino Thanksgiving weekend solo and on the prowl. Ladies panties will be dropping. You have been warned.

What would you do?

(I changed all the proper names)

What would you do if you received this random email:

Dear Iggles,

I am taking a chance that this might be you. I am hoping it is the Iggles who had parents named Papa Iggles and Momma Iggles.

I am B. S. (B.) and was H.before I was married. Jeffrey is my son now age 35 and married and a baby on the way. Momma Iggles and I were talking on the phone and your name came up so I said I would see if I could find you.

I am living in Winston-Salem, NC. I went back to school and I am a social worker. Jeffrey and Laura live in Middle River MD and both work at Johns Hopkins Hospital. My dad passed away August 2008. Mom lives in a condo not far from Walter and his family in Clarksville,MD.

Hope this is you and you will let us know how you are.

B.

This is what I told Iggles should send back:

Hey B.,

Thanks for writing to me but now is not a good time. I was recently demoted from my position of head manager of the domestic alliance department of civil engineering. They were nice enough to not fire me but now I am in janitorial services. I know, I know at least I have a job but now due to my meager pay I can no longer afford my 678 square foot condo that I share with my fiancé. The bank is in the process of foreclosing on us and to top it all off my fiancé was let go from her position of head barista at the local Starbucks. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse my cat, Muffins was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia and now I have to put her down. So tell Jeffrey good luck with the baby and all.



Sincerely,

Iggles

ADSL SEASON 4 – WEEK 6 REVIEW

A few quick football notes before we get on to the weekly review.

For those of you that were looking forward to getting the first overall pick in next years NFL draft you can thank my Eagles for ruining your plans. The Eagles humiliating loss Sunday pretty much insures Oakland’s pick (which the Patriots own) will probably fall around the 4th or 5th pick. Now for the bigger issue…how the fuck do you lose to Oakland? Last year it was an OT tie with Cincy, and Cincy really sucked last year. This year you get completed dominated by Oakland….FREAKING OAKLAND people.

Now for Sunday’s Patriots game. There are only two things you never do in football…don’t piss off Lady Karma and never thumb your nose at the Football Gods. I thought the Pats had learned there lesson from 2007. Apparently not….I guess it will take more than Brady blowing out his knee for Lady Karma and the Football Gods to get their point across. Just remember when the nightmare scenario happens again, I’ll be the first to say I told you so.

THE GOOD
You know what…screw it. The Eagles lost to the worst team in the NFL, the Flyers are playing like crap, The Phils series should be over but they can’t turn a normal double play, and I’m inching closer to last place rather than moving closer to first place. I’m in no mood for the Good Award of the week. If you don’t like it then too god damn bad. I mean seriously people…my sports world is crumbling and none of you bastards care. NOT HAPPY!

THE BAD
I gotta go with NIGGERISH for the bad of the week. And it’s not for any one particular move but it’s more of a cumulative award. Let’s take a look at NIGGERISH’s week. Dropped Sidney Rice for Austin Collie. Rice puts up 25 points while Collie was on a bye week. Dropped Chester Taylor for Donnie Avery. Avery put up 7 points on the first drive of the game and then proceeded to fall on his injured hip that caused him to miss the rest of the game and potentially a few more games in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, AP got his ankle rolled up on and for a few minutes looked to have seriously injured himself. All of this on the heals of a trade that sent Houshamazoo to the WIZARDS days before putting up 21 points. We’ll get into the whole Sanchez thing in the Team One-Liners segment.

AND THE UGLY

There isn’t anyway I can squirm my way out of this one. IGGLES gets the Ugly for week 6. This was a complete pooch screw on a biblical scale. Bench: 108 …. Starters: 91.5. My bench RB’s accounted for 47 points and the starters could only manage 25. The WR’s were even worse. The guys (Mason and Massaquoi) that I started last week and gave me a grand total of 0.5 points did a wonderful job of getting 29 points this week…unfortunately they were ON THE BENCH! I’m not even sure if pooch screw accurately reflects how bad this weeks performance by Iggles was.

TEXT OF THE WEEKEND
“This isn’t Jeff its Mungo. King of the Jungle!!!” Team Mungo

Boy oh boy…where do I go with this one. First of all I know Team Mung was just recently added to the league texting group but I’m not sure he understands that when I send out a text it goes to everyone. There isn’t any imaginable scenario where I could confuse Team Mung and Franklins Felons. They may be brothers but I cannot think of a better definition of polar opposites.

King of the Jungle? Really? Was it funny when you used that line in elementary school or did the kids laugh at you back then too? King of the jungle…give me a break.

TEAM ONE-LINERS
Smidawgs
Can we please put an end to this drama queen bullshit over Turner. Listen…this is very simple. Your goal going into every week is to get 10 points from all 8 position players and then hope at least one or two guys have great days. If you get that then your team breaks 100 points each week and you have a chance at winning some money. Turner got you 11 points, he did his part….end of discussion. If you want to be pissed off than be mad at the guy who played McGahee, or the guy that picked up the wrong Patriots free agent RB (Maroney, Faulk, or Green-Ellis), or the guy that didn’t pick up Jonathan Stewart. You made the wrong choice in sitting Turner last week…please don’t make the rest of us regret your decision.

Beach Bums
93 points and you came in next to last place for the week. I cannot remember when scoring was so high for the entire league. Except for the TE and Defense you had a good week but still managed to lose ground on everyone in the league. Well almost everyone…I cam in last. Heee heeee

Franklins Felons
I can’t believe I didn’t notice this earlier. FELONS must be setting a record for the oldest QB combo in fantasy football history. Favre and Warner on the same team? Really? Favre is throwing to WR’s that are technically young enough to be his grandchildren. How is this possible?

Madd Fucking Niggerish
Uhhhmmmm….I don’t want to pile on here but are we allowed to talk about Sanchez? I mean -6 points is really unbelievable. Is this a record? I’m pretty sure we’ve had somebody score -1 or -2 points before but I honestly can’t remember anyone scoring -6. -6 points…I just keep repeating that to myself and don’t believe it. It is so ridiculous that you just have to laugh about it and move on. Romo is starting to look better and better. I got 2 QB’s if you are interested?

Iggles
It’s never a good sign when my kicker (Mason Crosby) has been team MVP through week 6. Not good at all. Have I mentioned the Eagles lost to the freaking Raiders?

Most Interesting Men
Zach Miller on the bench? Really? Miller was so obviously a must start that I didn’t even bother to say it. During the season I’m going to continue adding to the Rules of Life. One of them is that any TE playing against the Eagles is a MUST START! I thought that was understood but apparently the word hasn’t gotten out to the league yet.

The Slippery Wizards
You sure do know your football kid. I mean you called a 3 TD performance for Moss about 3 minutes into the game. If only you had the ability to predict the football future before the game and not after it started you would’ve actually played Moss instead of leaving him on your bench. I’ll be honest, I really could care less if you play Moss or not, but I always love posting this Moss picture so whenever I get the opportunity I take it.

Sflabo
FLABO cannot be happy this morning. He had the week wrapped up in a nice little bow, all they needed was a couple of TD’s from Rivers and the $75 was theirs. Better luck next week kid.

Street Pharmacist
OK…I get it. You sat Thomas Jones just to bust my balls…just to try and prove you’re better than me. Negativity will not get you very far PHARMACIST, you will get further in life being positive and looking at the glass half full like I do. Unless your team name starts with SM and ends with DAWGS there is no reason to question my must starts. I hope you’re proud of yourself trying to prove a point by starting LT over Thomas Jones. Because it cost you the win this week…good work kid!

Team Mung
Winner….we have a winner over here folks. I still wish you would change the name to Team Mungo but other than that I’m proud of you kid. Sorry about the Cooley thing…at least it didn’t cost you the week.

ADSL SEASON 4 – WEEK 5 REVIEW

Where to start…..Let’s get the Must Starts out of the way first. We had Matt Ryan (Street Pharmacist), Nate Burleson (Most Interesting Men), and Kevin Walter (Smidawgs) lined up for our Must Starts of the Week. I knew going in I had bitten off more than I could chew, especially on a bye week where for some odd reason we all had a ton of players not available. Matt Ryan…CHECK! Nate Burleson…CHECK! Kevin Walter……..Kevin Walter…….hello, Kevin Walter are you out there? OK…so it’s 2 for 3 this week and 6 for 9 on the season. Not great but I did learn a valuable lesson this week. Never use Smidawgs team for any Must Starts…EVER! The kid is cursed this year so I must avoid DAWGS at all costs. They have caught the same disease I had in 2007….no matter what move they make it is the wrong move.

THE GOOD

This is week 5 of the season and we have our 5th different weekly winner. Franklins Felons walked away with the week putting up 130.5 points. And that was with Cedric Benson putting up 25 points on the bench.

THE BAD
What has happened to the WR position in fantasy football? It seems like every week a big name receiver puts up a big donut on the board. A couple weeks ago Jennings decided he didn’t want to catch the ball, last week Braylon Edwards couldn’t find the ball in an OT game, this week Madd Fucking Niggerish lost Sims-Walker because he couldn’t follow team rules, Iggles got 1.5 points from both of there WR’s combined, PHARMACIST could only manage 0.5 points from Garcon, and Beach Bums got the same effort from DeSean Jackson. This is getting out of control and something needs to be done about it.

AND THE UGLY
This was a tough choice. We could’ve chosen NIGGERISH or DAWGS for the Ugly of week 5. It was a close call but I think I have to go with DAWGS on this one. NIGGERISH had a bad week but there is nothing he could do about Sims-Walker getting suspended and it was never announced until after the game started. On the other hand DAWGS made one bad choice after another. RULE #1: Never bench your first round pick (especially if it is a top 5 pick). Come on DAWGS…you gotta ride it out with Turner. This is what he does….bad weeks followed by good weeks. You have to just play him and at the end of the year he has 1200 yards and 15 touchdowns. RULE #2: If you are going to bench a WR, then it has to be Steve Smith. The last time I checked he still has Jake Delhomme throwing to him. RULE #3: Go pick up a better defense….come on kid….there has to be an available defense that is better than the Raiders.

TEXT OF THE WEEK
“Massaquio really? That fast” Madd Fucking Niggerish

Even though this text came in on Wednesday I knew I was going to make it the text of the week. So lets back up about 20 minutes before this was sent. I had the day off and was driving to Plymouth for a meeting. I’m on route 3 and get a text from NIGGERISH that Braylon Edwards has been traded to the Jets. Now, since I had considered picking up Massaquio off the waiver wire on Tuesday night I figured I had to take a chance and pick this guy up. A #1 WR is a #1 WR no matter how bad the team is. I was running a little late for my meeting (which is really just an excuse to drive 90 MPH) so I had to make a decision…should I stop and try to log on with my phone and pick Massaquio off waivers or should I try to do it while driving. I figure since I live in NE I have a 50-50 shot of getting killed on the road anyway so lets try and do it while driving. After several unplanned lane changes and running at least 4 cars off the road I managed to log into my computer at home with the phone and to my surprise Massaquio was still there.

Well, apparently NIGGERISH was standing in line at Dunkins when he heard the news about Braylon and sent out a text to everyone. He planned on picking up Massaquio when he got back to his desk. So when he got back and saw I picked him up I got the text of the week. I laughed about it all the way to Sunday when Massaquio only got me 0.5 points. FUCKER!!!! I‘m not laughing anymore. Grrrrrrrrr

I hate being the guy that said I told you so (heeee heeee) but I believe I picked you to come in last and Smidawgs to be a two-time beer bitch. I’m going to apologize now because I was obviously wrong. It’s starting to look like you will be our new beer bitch at the 2010 draft. I’ll take a Corona!

Beach Bums
BUMS is in the drivers seat now. Maybe it’s just me but it doesn’t even seem like AP has gotten on a roll yet. Manning is unstoppable right now, AP is still averaging 20 points per game, and Wayne is playing lights out. Looks like BUMS is in good shape to win his 2nd ADSL Championship

Franklins Felons
How is it possible you have Warner, Fitzy, Benson, and Andre the Giant and this is the first week you have won? You should be in first place instead of third kid! Looks like you have a good GM running your draft board but your game day coach may need to be fired.

The Slippery Wizards
Just so I can prepare myself for next week. After you traded for Steve Smith with Smidawgs should I plan on getting a text after every Steve Smith catch this weekend or will we get an update at the end of each quarter. I just need to know these things.

Iggles
0.5 points from 2 wide receivers. Seriously? At this point I may just not play any WR’s, it will save me the stress of trying to figure out who to play.

Most Interesting Men
100 FUCKING dollars. This is just ridiculous. Why does this clown have different rules than the rest of us? Is this some kind of affirmative action thing that the league is doing? Can someone please explain this to me….how difficult is it to cash in some of your welfare checks for the $100. Sooooooo annoyed with this situation.

Sflabo
Hello….Ahmad Bradshaw. You had to play him this week…just had to. There are only going to be a few games in the year that you can count on him putting up big numbers and his matchup with Oakland was certainly one of them. Cost you the win this week and the chance to make up some ground on BUMS. If it helps you out I can let you know when the next time is you can play Bradshaw…just let me know if you want the help. And I shouldn’t have to remind you of who actually started this whole Must Start business….RODDY WHITE and his 42 points on the bench.

Smidawgs
For my own safety I will follow one of the rules my mother taught me. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. Thanks Mom!

Street Pharmacist
Another week another 100 points. And I don’t need a thank you about the Matty Ice Must Start. I helped you out last year with Roddy White and never got a thank you, and now this year I hook you up with Matty Ice! You’re a real piece of work…what comes around goes around bitch!

Team Mung
Can we please do something about this no e-mail, no texting, not in contact with anyone thing you have going on right now? I mean seriously guy….this is a fantasy football league. We bust balls, make dumb trade offers, talk shit, and generally have a good time. You being MIA isn’t doing anybody any good. I still don’t understand why I can’t have your cell number!

ADSL SEASON 4 – WEEK 2 REVIEW

I know we focus on fantasy football here but I wanted to make a quick comment about the Jets fans on Sunday. As we all know I’m an Eagles fan so I think I can provide an impartial opinion when it comes to a Pats game. Now it was late in the 3rd quarter and the Jets were barely holding onto a 4 point lead. From the stands you can hear a very loud BRADY SUCKS chant. Now this is the exact reason why nobody respects New York fans. They can somehow manage to combine a lack of knowledge and crudeness all into one. Now I understand they are a frustrated fan base since they haven’t beaten the Pats in a million years but BRADY SUCKS? Really? Hey guys let me fill you in on a little secret…Brady is the GREATEST QB IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL. When you chant Brady Sucks it makes you look even dumber than you are.

Now for the fantasy football. I was absolutely positive I had all of the bases covered with the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly bit. I mean it’s pretty simple…you have a team that wins each week, a team that makes some kind of bad decision each week, and then a team that just stinks up the joint. Throw in a couple of twists and turns during the season and this review basically writes itself. Seriously how difficult can that be? Well (big sigh)…..let me introduce you to Most Interesting Men. I swear to Buddha these fucking guys that own MIM were put on this Earth to upset me. This is absolutely mind-boggling….these blowhards managed to get the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly all in one week. So without further ado may I present to you the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly…MIM style.

THE GOOD
All of you bastards laughed at me when I said MIM would win this thing. They have the best fantasy QB in football (Brees), they are 4 deep at RB (Johnson, Jacobs, Washington, and Jackson), 2 really good WR’s, and 3 above average WR’s. How many of you wouldn’t trade for line-up right now? I know I would. Now granted Chris Johnson may have produced one of the best fantasy days in history on Sunday but this team is really good boys and girls

THE BAD
Hello….Zach Miller…I’m looking for Zach Miller. MIM has won the week even though they managed to get a grand total of 0 points from their TE. I’m getting a little older so my memory doesn’t work as well as it used to. Didn’t MIM and Smidawgs have this exact same problem with their TE’s last year? Come on guys….pull a Franklins Felons and get a TE in the 3rd round next year so I don’t have to write about this anymore.

AND THE UGLY
Now for the Ugly….I’m calling for a full scale investigation into MIM’s line-up. I checked their line-up (along with everyone else’s) at 12:57pm on Sunday and they had Welker as one of their active WR’s. Some of us in the league were even texting about it well after 1:00pm because everyone knew Welker was de-activated at least 2 hours prior to kick-off. So how did Welker miraculously wind up a reserve? I’m not going to come out and blatantly call MIM cheaters (which they are) but if it looks like a rat…smells like a rat…and acts like a rat…it must be a ………

This is what happens when you break the rules (i.e. not paying your freakin’ entrance fee) people start making accusations bitches!

TEXT OF THE WEEKEND
“ur unreal! Olsen goes off and he may kill u or me cuz I told him to pick up heap” MJT
Lets add the background to this text. We named Todd Heap a must start for Smidawgs this week over golden boy Greg Olsen. To be honest I was 50/50 on this must start but there weren’t many other options. Anyway, after Smidawgs moved Heap into his starting lineup I thought it was important to inform the league that he had made the change.

And just for the record….I do understand that there is a possibility Smidawgs may seriously injure someone (including me) if one of these must starts doesn’t work out. But for the shear entertainment value I’m willing to risk it and keep making Must Starts of the Week.

TEAM ONE-LINERS
Beach Bums
So when was it that BUMS realized he made a mistake by starting Peyton Manning. Was it late in the first half of the Houston/Tenn game when Schaub already had 25 points….BEFORE THE HALF! Or maybe it was when Schaub passed the 40 point mark in the 4th quarter. Now it is pretty rare that one of your players posts a 40+ point game,,,,,but when he is on the bench it must really hurt. Big OUCH!

Iggles
From CBSSportsline Sunday, around 11:30am.
“Analysis: Jennings is a rock-solid No. 1 Fantasy option worth a start in all leagues going up against a good but not great Bengals secondary."

Rock-solid no. 1 fantasy option! Really? Well I beg to differ. This is exactly why the required injury reports are a complete joke. Jennings was listed with a mild wrist sprain and I have yet to find a place that made anymore than a slight mention of it. And then on Monday CBSSportsline had the balls to post this:
“Analysis: We should expect Jennings to play better in Week 3 at St. Louis. Look for him to come back with a big outing, and he likely won't go without a catch again this season. Consider Jennings a No. 1 Fantasy WR against the Rams.”

Seriously? You think he’s gonna play better in week 3. Well it couldn’t get any worse!

I’ll just give you a fair warning right now Mr. Jennings…I benched my #1 pick last week and have absolutely no problem benching you.

Franklins Felons
I’m just going to give you some advanced warning now FELONS. Mr. Benson is about to enter the MUST START zone.

Sflabo
You are stacked this year FLABO. Just wait until MJD and Holmes start scoring touchdowns for you. You are now my dark horse favorite to win the whole thing this year.

Smidawgs
Todd Heap baby…Todd FUCKING Heap! Ok, granted I only got you 1 extra point with my start of the week but it still would’ve been nice to get a thank you or something. Every point matters DAWGS….so you better start showing some respect. And by the way, you are not in last place…I AM. So quit the whining and complaining.

Madd Fucking Niggerish
No worries MFN….Hasselbeck isn’t dead! It’s only a broken rib…I’m sure he can bounce back from that pretty quickly. Just look at how my boy Donnie Mac is dealing with his broken rib. But seriously….anyone who thought Hasselbeck was either dead or paralyzed raise your hand.

Most Interesting Men
See above you filthy bastards

Street Pharmacist
I don’t care if you changed your team name, I still have 2 words for you….FUCKIN’ SKZA. Every year you pull off this same crap….if you get bad production from your RB’s then your WR’s step up. The following week your RB’s score touchdowns but you get nothing from the WR. It’s incredible!

Team Mung
Since you’re the only new team this year you kind of win the Rookie of the Year award by default. But keep up the good work kid…and one more thing. I need your cell number just in case I need to call you about some trades. It will only be used in an emergency situation. Just ask the rest of the league. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Slippery Wizards
Did you draft Hartley because his suspension automatically qualifies him as a Wizard? I had been meaning to ask but kept forgetting. And just in case you’re curious…John Carney (Hartley’s replacement) has 21 points so far. That would be 2 more than Longwell. Of course, in the end it won’t really matter if you keep getting 32.5 points from Dallas Clark.

FRED TAYLOR PRO BOWLER?
I can accept when I make a mistake. I thought this might be fun to keep track of Taylor’s stats throughout the year and maybe rank the potential AFC pro bowlers. Rank Taylor as the 6th best back one week, the 4th best the following week, etc…..but Taylor isn’t even putting up stats that qualify him as a top 15 back in the AFC. So until Taylor actually has a 100 yard game we are going to leave this off the weekly update and I’ll just look forward to spending my $20.

ADSL SEASON 4 – WEEK 1 REVIEW

Well kids……here we go again. Before we get into the week that was we need to take a quick second to welcome a new team this year. TEAM MUNG joins the league with very little experience in fantasy football so we are all just hoping he makes it through the year without quitting. Just a quick question…..shouldn’t it be Team Mungo and not Team Mung? Now this is sort of a clean blog so I’ll just post a link to Urban Dictionary that defines what a Mung is. Not sure if he’s trying to psych us out or it’s an in depth look into the world of Tom. Either way…..I call ‘not sitting next to Mungo at next years draft’ first.

We are changing things up this year. The Costanza Award, Goose Egg Club (aka The Smidgy), and Cheerleader of the Week are retiring. But if you guys screw things up this year like you did last year Costanza will reserve the right to pull a Favre and un-retire. To start things off this year we will take a look at the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the previous week; the Text of the Weekend Award; one-liners for each team in the league. And when I say one-liners I really mean I’ll write whatever the hell I want to so it could be one sentence or a long paragraph……DEAL WITH IT! And away we go……

THE GOOD
166 points in week 1? Let me repeat that….166 freaking points in week 1! Well done Beach Bums…what a week! Looks like BUMS is going to be a contender this year. Watching BUMS team on Sunday was like watching a pinball machine going Tilt for 7 straight hours. AP…an absolute beast just running over and around people, Manning being Manning, Jones running the rock like his life depended on it. Nice first week of the season BUMS!


THE BAD
Tough call on this one. We could talk about the injuries: McNabb, Urlacher, Gonzalez, etc…. but I’d like to go another route. Smidawgs and his 70.5 points. At the end of last year the ADSL Review Crew felt bad about how much we picked on Smidawgs and we vowed to spread the wealth when it came to criticizing teams. But Smidawgs you gotta help us out here a little bit kid….70.5 points? Really? The only thing I can tell you is it has to get better…I mean it can’t get any worse, right?

AND THE UGLY
Now listen up people. I really don’t want to do the Costanza Award this year…I’m running out of quotes and I have no more Costanza pictures to use. But if we have a repeat performance of this past weekend you will give me no choice. And I’m just warning you now if the Costanza Award comes back he will not be happy. I mean seriously….this was a real shit show this weekend. Here are some lowlights: Flacco 34 points, Trent Edwards 22 points, Roy E. Williams 15.5 points, Thomas Jones 27 points, Tony Romo 37 points, and Fred Jackson 21.5 points. What do these guys all have in common? All of them were on the bench and outscored their starting teammates by 14 points or more! Not the way you want to start the year kids!

TEXT OF THE WEEKEND
“Hey Deegs did ur first 2 picks not get the memo? The reg. season started yesterday” Franklins Felons

Touche FELONS….touche! At the ADSL Review we aren’t just here to make fun of people we are also here to teach you all some lessons about life. Lesson #1 is don’t start bustin’ balls until the games are actually finished. I had sent the exact same text to FELONS because Fitzy and Andre The Giant were having horrible days. You can guess what happened next…B-West got pulled because the game was a blowout and the Bears offensive line decided not to block for Forte. And Fitzy scores a late touchdown. Uggghhhhh!

TEAM ONE-LINERS
Beach Bums
Could you please explain to the rest of us how in the world you contemplated for even a second not drafting Peterson first overall. Seriously!

Franklins Felons
Any chance of changing the team name back to JSL Enterprises? I’m just not feelin’ Franklins Felons. You are loaded at the WR position and weak at RB….give me a call when you’re ready for a trade. I’m 4 deep at RB.

Iggles
We all know about the Madden Jinx and the SI Cover Jinx. If my #1 QB gets hurt next season than I’m asking for the Iggles Jinx to be added to this list.

Madd Fucking Niggerish
Look at it this way Niggerish….the good news is your #1 pick had a horrible game and you still got 15 points out of him. The bad news is Seattle doesn’t play the Cardinals every week.

Most Interesting Men
$100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100. We all know that the weekly welfare check and food stamps are your primary source of income but this league isn’t a state funded program….so pay up! Seriously….can we get some sort of ruling on when this team starts losing points for not paying. Even Team Mung paid and we all know that mo’fo is broke!

Sflabo
Looks like Sflabo may have a little QB controversy on his hands. What ya gonna do FLABO? Romo or Rivers? We still have to do some research but Romo could become our Must Start of 2009!

Smidawgs
Smidawgs…smidawgs…smidawgs…glad to see you picked right up where you left off last year – 70.5 points. I forget, can anyone remember if 0.5 points qualified for the Goose Egg Club last year? I think it did. Apparently Smidawgs is synonomous for TE’s not being able to score fantasy points.

Street Pharmacist
Darren Sproles…STEAL OF THE DRAFT…end of discussion. Too bad you didn’t play him. Look on the bright side PHARMACIST….your RB depth is the best in the league. Unfortunately now you have to decide who to start each week. Good luck kid!

Team Mung
Can we just name Mungo the Manager of the Year and get it over with right now? Hightower over Portis and it pays off bigtime! Great start to the year for MUNG. Does anybody else feel like MUNG is going to fall ass backwards into points all year long? This could be the year of the Mung….and if that doesn’t scare you than nothing will.

The Slippery Wizards
I have no idea what to say about the Wizards. This is a team that’s gonna put up 130 points one week and 79 points the next. Anybody want to hazard a guess on when the WIZARDS ownership starts throwing the new General Manager under the bus for a poor week one performance?


FRED TAYLOR PRO BOWLER?
Since me and Chiefdude have a $20 bet on Fred Taylor and his upcoming appearance in the Pro Bowl I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of his stats.

25 yards rushing on 8 carries, and 1 rushing TD. That’s it!

Chiefdude I’d like my payment made in $1’s please. It makes it easier for me to buy my coffee in the morning. Sucker!!!!!!!

My bad

It has happened every fucking year since 1996. I know Iggles birthday is the last week of August and I still miss it no matter what. I can not get it into my head that it is August 25th...I always think it is the 28th. So I am sorry Iggles!



Here's a nice cake I baked for you:


When the Double Down comes to Massachusetts I will gladly buy you a 6 pack!

Mike Vick.....WTF!

So I guess I need to talk about this whole Mike Vick thing being the resident Eagles fan. Let me first say that I would like to thank everyone for the 50+ texts I got within an hour of the announcement that the Eagles signed Vick. Some of my favorites were:

The Drug Emporium is no more people…Andy and Michaels DOG Emporium for 2009

U got the ULTIMATE WEAPON now…

Poor Donnie


My initial reaction was a combination of shock and anger…and then I looked over at my dog and realized I’ll never be able to bring her to Philly. I can’t take any chances with Mike Vick running around on the prowl. Ok…no more joking. There are two ways of looking at this thing…..the football side and public relations side.

On the football side of things I just don’t see how this is going to work. At the most Vick will play 6 or 7 plays a game…and that’s assuming he can still run and be elusive like he was. And what happens after McNabb throws 3 passes in the dirt and fans at the Linc start chanting for Vick. I’ve always been a huge fan of McNabb’s but he is a crybaby and probably the most sensitive QB in the NFL. This can go downhill real quick and I’m sure that is exactly what will happen.

Obviously the public relations side is an absolute disaster. As hard as the Eagles try there is no way you can justify putting the dog killer on your team. And what pisses me off is as a fan….the Eagles have put me in a position where I have to cheer for this guy. Un-freakin-believable!

Look I understand people deserve a second chance…..but to give a person that second chance both parties should get something out of it and I don’t see what the Eagles get out of this. I feel like the house owner who just found out that his electric bill will be cut in half because they are building a nuclear power plant….the only negative part is the plant is being built in my backyard.

Just so I understand this. The Eagles fired a retarded employee because he criticized the Eagles on a blog for not resigning Dawkins. The guy apologized and asked for a second chance but that wasn’t good enough….. so they put the guy out on the street. Yet a convicted dog murderer asks for a second chance and that’s OK. Hmmmmmmm!

Say It Aint So Big Show

There are a couple of posts that I look forward to seeing every week. Mr. Booze’s ‘What I Learned This Weekend’ is always a must read for Monday morning, ChiefDude’s G.I.W.T.F. gives us all a good reason to check in on the blog during the weekend, and my favorite post is Big Shows weekly weigh in. I’m honestly not being a jerk (which is very rare); I’m all for people who want to improve themselves which is why I’m so interested in this weight loss crusade. But it has been a while since we’ve gotten an update so I thought I’d ask how the weight loss is going. Bad news…..Big Show has hit the proverbial wall. He’s not gaining wait but Big Show is currently stuck at 305lbs and hasn’t been able to make it budge from that spot for 3 weeks. Big Show needs our help people…..so we’re going to do everything we can to get him below 300 lbs. We can use the blog to start the Big Show Watch….if you see him cheating on his diet post a comment. If you see him taking the shuttle from the parking garage….post a comment. I


We also need to come up with a new weight loss plan. Losing 33 lbs is great but Big Show’s body has gotten used to the eating and exercise pattern and has decided to shut down…..time to make a change kid. So here ya go! Your goal is to not exceed 1700 calories a day with a high protein/low fat diet. Get rid of the walking/running bullshit…..walking does very little for you unless you’re walking 10 miles a day and under no circumstances should you be running. Maybe if you drop under 250 lbs we can talk about running but for right now it’s not doing you any good. Get on a treadmill or elliptical machine for 10-15 minutes per day and then get in some basic stretching and simple exercises (sit-ups, push-ups, etc…..). It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you maintain an elevated heart rate for 30 minutes. Do that for 3 weeks without any cheating and I guarantee you’ll drop 10 pounds easy.

And for the rest of you bastards….yes I know I’m fat and I’m trying to lose weight as well so SUCK IT!

Football Time!

OK boys and girls….break time is over…training camps have already started to open so it’s time to get back in the swing of things. We are a little over a week away from the first preseason game and we are exactly 6 weeks away from regular season opener. We have a lot of issues to cover and very little time. We’ll start off with a little preview of each division that will lead us into the Fantasy draft. We’ll do a review of the draft with some special guest appearances offering their insight into some of the picks. And of course we will do our weekly reviews during the season. Apparently we were too mean last year and offended quite a few people. I guess we could try and lighten up and be a little nicer but you know what……I DON’T CARE. You don’t like it, then don’t read it. But we will try to keep the posts a little shorter. With that said let’s start things off with a quick look at the NFC West.

Arizona Cardinals
2008 Record: 9-7
Strength Of Schedule (2009): 0.441
2009 Projected Record: 9-7
Key Free-Agent Additions: Bryant McFadden CB, Keith Lewis S, Anthony Becht TE
I know the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl last year and are the trendy pick to win the NFC West again this year. But the Cardinals could only manage 9 wins in the 2nd worst division in football and managed to get hot at the right time last year. Boldin and Fitzy are the best WR duo in football but at some point Warner has to start showing his age. The addition of Beanie Wells should help what had to be one of the worst running games in the NFL last year. With that said I still can’t get over the fact they only finished 9-7. Not sure if you would consider this a drop off but the crystal ball is telling me the Cardinals are looking to go 9-7 again.


San Francisco 49ers
2008 Record: 7-9
Strength Of Schedule (2009): 0.443
2009 Projected Record: 3-13
Key Free-Agent Additions: Dre’ Bly CB, Demetric Evans DE, Brandon Jones WR
I have no idea what to say about the Niners. Can anybody tell me who is going to play QB this year? Shaun Hill? Alex Smith? Does it really matter…….I don’t think so. For the Niners it begins and ends with my boy Frank Gore. Now I like Mike Singletary as much as the next guy but his old school antics don’t work with today’s NFL player. Enjoy your 3-13 season…look on the bright side at least you’ll get your shot at Sam Bradford at next years draft.


Seattle Seahawks
2008 Record: 4-12
Strength Of Schedule (2009): 0.457
2009 Projected Record: 11-5
Key Free-Agent Additions: T.J. Houshmandzadeh WR, Ken Lucas CB, Justin Griffith FB
Love the ‘Hawks this year. It sounds like Hasselbeck is finally healthy and he gets a receptions monster in Houshamazoo. I know…..I know….their defense was atrocious last year, but if your offense goes 3 and out every series you’re gonna give up some points. Look for the Seahawks to run a ton with the two-headed monster combo of Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett, which should open up the passing game. Congratulations Seattle…..you are the comeback team of the year with an 11-5 record.


St. Louis Rams
2008 Record: 2-14
Strength Of Schedule (2009): 0.465
2009 Projected Record: 4-12
Key Free-Agent Additions: James Butler S, Jason Brown C
It’s been almost 10 years since The Greatest Show on Turf but whenever I think of the Rams all I can see is Holt, Bruce, and Faulk running all over the field making plays. Well…a lot can change in 10 years. Steve Spagnuolo is a real good defensive coach…but I’m not sure if he can be a great head coach. And this team needs a huge overhaul…other than Stephen Jackson does anybody on this roster qualify as a star? And some would argue even Stephen Jackson is over-rated…right Smidawgs? Better luck next year kids!
