TMX week 5 review


Week 5 is in the books!! 



Can you believe we are six weeks into one of the wildest seasons in ADSL history!! The Tmx/Folandotcom twitter combo has its ears to the street for possible trades to keep up with this wild season. Tmx did get a strange letter via the great United States Postal service!!! People send letters when they truly want a message sent and Tmx takes all letters with the utmost seriousness!! The letter had a return address that Tmx is familiar with JERKSHOTS 420 Primrose Lane Parts Unknown USA. The cryptic letter simple said "Jerkshots only comment is Melvil Dewey, dead for years but alive and well in ADSL. Signed Jerkshots Esquire. Tmx team of analyzers easily knew what this meant. Melvil Dewey founder of the Dewey Decimal system. Apparently there is some bad blood brewing over the new decimal system established this year in which Jerkshots lost by .40 points for first place. Good to see you still have your sense of humor Jerkshots, warped sense of humor but a sense of humor none the less!! 

Lets get to the GET A BANDAID portion. Injuries this week  had many big names going down. Megatron was lost before the start as was Miles Austin missing out on the great Denver/Dallas shootout. A few notables going down Mike Vick, Roddy White and Julio Jones, Snelling, Matthews, Jennings, D.Wilson and Blaine Gabbert!! Ouchie!! 











Now on to the players that were healthy enough to play but were benched. ALL IGGLES TEAM.
 
QB-                           R.WILSON                31PTS                   SFLABO
RB-                           K.MORENO               23PTS                    BEACH BUMS
RB-                           D. WOODHEAD         15PTS                    SLIPPERY WIZARDS
WR-                          T. HILTON               33PTS                    BEACH BUMS
WR-                          J.BLACKMON            27PTS                    SETITFGIT
TE-                           V.DAVIS                  16PTS                     NUTSAWAY
K-                             S. HAUSCHKA           12PTS                    JERKSHOTS
D-                             CARDINALS              36PTS                    DMC
 
      
 Well it looks like Beach Bums is determined to put a running back on the all Iggles each week!! Sflabo finally got a good week from a qb and benched him!! DMC didnt want to start his D vs his qb which in theory is a good idea unless your D drops 36pts on your qb then you made the wrong choice!!Setitfgit lost megatron but picked up Blackmon only to bench him for the All Iggles!! The bye weeks are here and the All Iggles are seemingly unaffected by them!! 

Lets get to the players that were started with this weeks results:

First place and out of the basement is Slippery Wizards with 164 (rounded up) led by J.Thomas who he offered in a trade and Rice and newly picked up Rivers 
Second place with 163 were the Jerkshots riding high with a 65 burger from Holy Romo!; 
In Peyton We Trust rode Peyton and Dez to a 159 total 
Fourth place and with 152 and finally resolving his qb controversy is Favorite New kid who got a great game from djax and witten
5th place with 138 went to Black Dynamite who had the pick up of the week in Jeffery who dropped a 42 burger from the wr spot 
6th place was the rejuvenated Nutsaway with 135 
7th went to Sflabo who also had a great pick up in Terrence Williams getting 30 and the team getting 129; 
Dmc came in 8th with a disappointing week from Killah Cam
Setitfgit missing Megatron got 94 as the all Detroit offense he start sputtered this week
Coming in last was Beachbums who had Rodgers on a bye and got nothing from Trich and Dwilson to finish with 83 for the week. 



The season and the byes are starting to kick in and In Peyton We Trust is pulling away but spots 2,3, and 4 are separated by 6 points total and the fight for the bottom is tight as well. Its a long season and this week showed that teams can jump around and the waiver wire can get you big plays. TMX made a call to the last place teams running back Knowshon Moreno. Hey Knowshon whats up its TMX. "yo yo whats good T can I call you T? anyway you see the offense I'm on and the numbers I put up? Did my team win the week? Uhm no Knowshon you actually got benched and had twice as many points as BOTH guys started ahead of you. " come on T I'm part of a record setting offense? why cant I get a start??" Well thats for beachbums to answer Tmx has no idea?? " Well Knowshon is out, Peyton's coming by we are going to go over plays and play paper, rock, sissors for tds hope my coach smartens up" Wow Ok Knowshon good luck next week!! Interesting but true comments. This league has turned into Denver Broncos and Peyton Mannings offense. Each week they are putting up numbers. Lets hope next week someone can make a push to the top and give In Manning We Trust some competition or we are going to have a run away winner like the Brady, Welker, Moss situation a few years back!! If you have a hot trade or trade rumor let Tmx know till then hit the waiver wire and hope for good health in week 6. TMX OUT

Case of the blahs

So far this month has been a case of the blahs. Everything is blah. Everything tastes blah. Everything feels blah. BLAH BLAH BLAH! 

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Chrissy still loves a bachelorette party (even if it was at the British Beer Company in Pembroke).
2. Going 1 day without running water in your house will make you feel like you are on Survivor.
3. Your Boston Bruins look good, to start the season.
4. It is true - what is good for the goose is not always good for the gander.
5. If you were not home and a pipe bursts in your apartment would you find it acceptable that they send you an email rather than call you? That happened to my brother in law.
6. Pretty sure I broke my baby toe yesterday.
7. God is still preforming miracles for the enlightened.
8. Pizzeria Regina has a special garlic oil behind the bar. You just gotta ask for it.
9. If you have never experienced the John Red show then you my friend are in for a nice treat.
10. Rio is looking for houses again. he changes his mind like Smiddy changes ladies.
11. You know those shows where they are living through a renovation and it looks like a bomb went off in their houses? Yeah well that is what my house looks like right now. Its driving me nuts. Just piles of things in different places. I see a full spring cleaning in the Fall in my future.
12. People drive like donkeys in the rain/when the pavement is wet.
13. How does the Garden have all summer to renovate and yet it is still not done?
14. There are 2 types of people in this world - self centered and self giving. What one are you?
15. Today is Joe Martells birthday (His twin brothers as well).
16. After living by Ginger Betty's for 3 years I finally had a cookie from there. The shit was dope.
17. Keep your eye on Chiefdude, he just keeps getting more and more tattoos.
18. Jeffrey is looking for a baby sitter for Columbus day.
19. Is the government proving anything with this shut down? Other than maybe we don't need so much government?
20. Red sox playoff tickets at face value or below? Really people?

Lets hope the blahs go away before next week.

TMX week 4



Week 4 TMX review is back and happy to report we have cleared all the legal hurdles to again make phone calls to players!! The Travis Henry lawsuit behind us and TMX successfully beat the charges so all is right in the world.



We are going to start off the week with the GET A BANDAID SECTION. This weeks injury report is as follows; McFadden had his yearly hammy dance, Spiller and Fjax both left the game; ALF also left the game; Steven Hill was concussed; Vince Wilfolk blew out an achilles; Dobson took a shot; Marcedes Lewis (still plays) was taken out and Shady Mccoy left briefly after losing his breath (possibly from the beating his team took).

Now onto the All Iggles:


QB-                        T. Brady                    New Kid                          29pts
RB-                        A. Foster                  Slippery WIzards              31pts
RB-                        D. Woodhead            Slippery Wizards              23pts
Wr-                        Jennings                   In Peyton we trust            22pts
WR-                       Thomkins                  Beach Bums                    26pts
TE                          Gates                        Slippery Wizards             29pts
 K-                         Akers                        Slippery Wizards              16pts
D-                          Redskins                   Setitfgetit                         29pts


       My oh my the last place team Slippery Wizards dominating the All Iggles. Not a good look at all. TMX usually lets the All Iggles stand alone but in this case we had to make a VISIT to Slippery Wizards management!! (knock knock) Hey its TMX making a house call saw the door open WHAT IS UP?? SW ownership answers (with a manuscript type thing in hand) "Uhhm hi TMX you guys make house calls now??" Well we were in the area what is that manuscript?? Looks like it says how to quit a league by auther Deadbeat Dad?? "THATS NOT IT AT ALL!! THIS LEAGUE IS BULLSHIT, NO ONE WILL TAKE ORTON OR LLOYD NO TRADES" Hold on hold on are you reading off that manuscript?? You dont even own those players?? Are you saying your going to quit the league?? Slippery Wizards are quitters?? "How about you get off my property!! I'm not talking. Get out of here!!" Wow. Well that didnt go well lets see what transpires from this visit. The rest of the All Iggles was a usual entry by the Beach Bums and a real qb controversy going on in New Kid camp. If he can decide between Vick and Brady he can make a push for the top!!


The week 4 results are as follows:
In Peyton We Trust is making a break from the pack led by Peyton and lil Darren Sproles ( maybe lil Darren got mad Danny Woodhead is being called the new bug on a rug like Sproles was?) 192 pts were put up and its Peyton We Trusts second win of the first four weeks. He looks unstoppable. Second place was Beach Bums with a respectable 165 on a bye week. Beach Bums had Rodgers out and barely missed a beat; Black Dynamite rode a great game by Gonzo to finish with 132 and third for the week; Fourth place and putting it all together was Nutsaway, kid looks like hes back and is riding a 50 burger from Brees for 131pts; Fifth place is DMC not so lucky on the bye week as Dalton let him down but 130 still respectable considering; 6th place is QB controversy New Kid who finished with 124; Jerkshots were able to shake off a Mcfadden hammy dance and finish in 7th place as Torrey Smith carried the club; Setitfgetit finished in 8th Reggie Bush is looking like the one who won the Hiesman!!!; 9th place with 110 got bailout out from Ryan and NO d and last this week was Sflabo who got a huge game from Graham but nobody else showed. 

In Peyton We Trust is starting to pull away from the middle of the pack with Beach Bums hanging on. The bottom of the pack is separating as well the Slippery Wizards are locked in the basement and believed to have changed his mailing address to that location.

 Tmx made a call to In Peyton We Trust captain Peyton Manning. Hi old friend its Tmx whats going on?? Why do we hear water in the background??? "Oh golly Tmx how are you?? Well seems I'm filling up a dunk tank? This guy who has me in fantasy is planning a party to celebrate winning the league. Gosh I dont want to let him down" Uhmm Peyton you realize its week 4 right?? "well yeah, I'm going to fill this out and go have my receivers run some routes?? You mind if I take off" Sure thing Peyton thanks for the time. Whoa so there you have it. Leagues on notice. Short week as always lets hope for some movement to the top so this league can tighten up!! As alway TMX here to help; Hit us up on twitter or via a home landline.

TMX OUT

Halloween is a month away

All you closet whores better start planning your slutty costumes now. Also, people stop dressing in onesies and going as babies.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. There was a time when Chrissy could of banged Grogan.
2. Congrats to all the people out there having babies. I know a few people won't be making it to the 7th annual mustache pub crawl because they are pregnant now.
3. Jeffrey's upstairs part of his house is now 93% complete. He has finally moved up there this past weekend.
4. The 3rd annual Kubie krawl was a success. Phelpsy and the boys have grown it every year. Keep up the good work.
5. I have no idea how Muslims hate pork. That shit is delicious.
6.What part of home renovations is more stressful - the money aspect or if the work will come out good?
7. Who knew there were so many different types of light fixtures out there.
8. People hate the Nordiques but LOOOOVVVVEEE the Whalers.
9. I couldn't name more than 3 guys on the Cleveland Indians - Giamibi, Masterson and Swisher after that no effing clue.
10. Everyone has an opinion on Obamacare. One way or another.
11.Why does it seem like the weekends last shorter and shorter.
12. How long is too long for a beard? Is Duck Dynasty beard length acceptable? Asking for a friend.
13. Newton gave me a set of golf clubs. Does he know I am not a golfer by any means. I just like a good time drinking.
14. Pretty sure there are life lessons in most things that we do.
15. Jeffrey is addicted to Groupon.
16. Chrissy is at the point now where all he cares about is his baby being healthy and not what the babies name is.
17. Are Native Americans upset by the term Indian summer?
18. If you had to rank the Boston teams popularity right now are they Red Sox 3rd behind the Patriots and Bruins? I am hearing more about opening night For the Bruins on Thursday than I am about the Sox having the best record in the American league and making the playoffs.
19. I should tweet more but I feel like I am always getting caught up.
20. Leave it to Chrissy to argue about a bait and switch in cover bands and he gets free cover charge.
21. Whoever says the housing market is down has not seen all the buildings going up in and around Southie.
22. Children's books are not cheap.
23. Vinegar is a wonder cleaner.
24. Who is looking for old baseball cards? Someone found a box full and dropped em off to me.

See you all at the Bruins home opener.

TMX week 3 review

 Tmx is back with the week 3 fantasy recap!! 



The wild season continues with injuries piling up (someone wake up Jermichael Finley ???) Four starters this week posted goose-eggs!! Finley, Richardson, Nicks and Dbowe Tmx is calling you out!! Due to the twitter world starting #teamiggles uprising this week we are going right to the All Iggles team. TMX is for the people!!! Here we go!!

QB-                     R.Wilson                        29pts                           Sflabo
RB-                     J. Bell                            21pts                           Sflabo
RB-                     A.Bradshaw                   18pts                           Black Dynamite
WR-                   A.Brown                         41pts                           Who's Your Fav New Kid
WR-                   J. Gordon                       32pt                             Who's Your Fav New Kid
TE-                    D. Walker                         7pts                           Sflabo
K-                       R. Succop                      13pts                           Black Dynamite
D-                      Ravens                           25pts                           Nutsaway



          I know we wont get anything from the non talking management over at New Kid but 73pts on the bench from 2 WR's in a KNOWN WR league has to be some sort of record??? Pretty impressive on some level, if Iggles handed out compliments I'm sure he'd drop you one but that's not his style; he probably just smirked. 

Sflabo and Black Dynamite also offered up more than one Iggle this week with the race as tight as it is at the top that has to stop to make the push for first place! Nutsaway regrouped after two tough weeks and if they didn't feel obligated to make an Iggles contribution may have won the week!!! 

The top five teams are currently separated by under 25 points. The bottom two are 100 down and need to turn it around but fortunately there is alot of football to come( I mean a shit ton).  

This week unfolded as follows: 
DMC finally had Newton step up and won the week despite getting a 0 from DBowe with 138
Nutsaway bounced back in a big way with 131 as Demarco and Brees had big weeks 
3rd place with 130 was Black Dynamite as the continue to ride Shady Mccoy and the Bears d
4th place was In Peyton we Trust with 118, Tmx math dept figured Manning on pace for 63tds
Who's your fav New Kid came in 5th with 117 
Setitfgtit was 6th with 112
Jerkshots 7th with 101
Beachbums led the under 100 crew with 94 good for 8th this week
Sflabo came in 9th with 88
Slippery Wizards barely showed up putting up 86pts. 


The bye weeks start this week so owners need to figure out bye week replacements. Tmx has its ear to the street in conjunction with @Folandotcom on the twitters and has heard of several trades that have been offered but nothing yet has come out!! Few complaints on people not replying to offers??? In the words on one time slumlord owner Smiddoggy GROW UP.  Someone offers you a trade at least reply so they know you got it. There is Thursday action as always so get in on some of that action. 











The Sunday Supper Club is back this week after a hiatus last week to attend a prior engagement - Tmx will be back to the compound to take in the action!! Come if your invited and NO HAMMY DANCES ALLOWED sign out front is there for a reason and strictly enforced. 

Tmx is always there to break news so if you got a hot lead hit them up. Tmx out.

Is it Fall or Autumn?

Do people really call it Autumn? I mean its winter, spring, summer and fall, right? Who the fuck calls it autumn? I mean can we just start junk punching people who use the term autumn? At the least punch to the face?

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Cape Cod Pizza now sells their pies at Stop and Shop in the frozen food section and they ain't half bad.
2. How can the price of a toilet range from $99 to $1000? Its a receptacle for shit and piss.
3. Young children do not like black pepper.
4. Hayrides, corn mazes and pumpkin picking. That's what you do with a 2 year old:



5. Doesn't matter if it is week 1 or week 3 when you are out of the suicide pool. It makes no difference.
6. I know that it is only 3 weeks in but fantasy football is all types of fucked up this year.
7. I get that christenings are on Sundays but can't the joint you are having the party at have at least one TV to watch football?
8. Do people still put up wood paneling?
9. Congrats to Jeffrey for winning his golf league championship again. Lets see if he can finally step it up and do it as an A player instead of a B.
10. There is a rule that if you get served a warm beer you can spit it on the floor, right?
11. Smiddy is still Smiddy but now with a Toyota Avalon. He finally killed that 1993 Nissan Maxima.
12. Colleen is planning her wedding and then looking to buy a house in Braintree or Milton.
13. Jeffrey is addicted to Postcard on the run.
14. Who is going to the Kubie Krawl 3 this Saturday in Southie?
15. Chrissy is setting up a trip to Mohegan Sun Saturday November 3rd. His cousin is fighting in a MMA fight that night. Anyone interested?
16. How is it that I haven't been to New Orleans yet? Just added it to my Fuckit list. Its very similar to a bucket list but better.
17. A please and a thank you goes a long way. Just saying.
18. NickJr is something - Dora the Explorer, Mike the Knight and Diego are all ok but fuck the Bubble Guppies.
19. Is anyone else excited to see what kind of band Back Seat Lover and Itchy Fish combined will make? I am and i'll find out Saturday night.
20. People are really pissed about the Apple IOS update.

TMX week 2

TMX is here for the week two review!!



Week two limped to an injury filled finish with many big names hitting the injury list!!  Running back questions are the big topic as Lacy, Steven Jackson, Reggie Bush, MJD, Ray Rice were among those hurt!! It didn't stop there Andre Johnson, Vernon Davis, Roddy White, Fitzy and (RIP) Malcolm Floyd all were injured during week 2!! 

Check the injury reports and head to the waiver wire. Starting to look like the year of the injury!! The bottom from the top is already starting to stretch itself out as first to last is already separated by a whopping 140 after just 2 weeks!! Nothings won in the first two weeks but deep holes can be dug if people dont start getting production from their players, TMX as always suggests new homes for struggling players!! 

TMX loves trades!! This weeks winner was SFlabo who despite only get 5 points from his qb still put up 157 and held off Beach Bums 151 and Rodgers 50 burger!! Beach Bums management is also the new Dillenz with arrogant jokes telling teams trying to trade to "hit the waiver wire" guess they love being hated over at Beach Bums. 

The team formerly known as Moose Knuckle then Blue Falcon switched his name yet again and took home the 3rd spot. Who's your favorite new kid? ( Donnie D on the backup obviously) is his new team name. Tmx asked the management at Who's but they had nothing to say, per usual. 

The Jerkshots fought off a SJax injury and came in 4th, TMX noticed only one owner for Jerkshots??? Tmx is trying to confirm that black widow Welch killed another partner like he did The Smiddawg. Black Dynamite also fought off an injury performance this time by Fitzy to finish in 5th with 133 a point behind Jerkshots. The 6th place team was Setitandforgetit who put up 130, Megatron continues to carry them and prove his first round pick as they wait for Gronks return. My grandmother got run over by a reindeer or whatever that long name is came in 7th with 122 as Manning came back to earth a little and a ZERO from the kicker with the controversial losing points for a missed fg now in place (WAHHH WAHHH). The Slippery Wizards finished in 8th with 121 after losing Ray Rice and MJD, the Wizards look to be reeling early on. Dirty Moon Crickets had a pedestrian performance from AP and tough WR week and finished 9th with 117. The last place team once again was Nutsaway back to back last place finishes for the defending dress wearer!! Unheard of but until he gets his running backs to well score some points he may be in a basement battle all season!! Now to the ALL IGGLES:

Def                     Vikings                      Sflabo                25pts
Qb                      M. Vick                      Fav New Kid       47pts
Rb                      Moreno                     Beach Bums        24pts
Rb                      Mendenhall               Sflabo                 16pts
Wr                     Hopkins                     Black Dynamite     26pts
Wr                     J.Jones                      Nutsaway             26pts
Te                     Bennett                      DMC                    23pts
K                       Feeley                        Setit4getit            13pt



             Looks like the Who's your Favorite New Kid got a qb controversy going on!! Vick vs God Brady I know the Iggles are thrilled to start Vick each week lets see what Fav New Kid decides!! Lot of wr's being left on the bench with points looks like early on this is a wr league!!  We have the usual Thursday night action so get to the waiver wire and get your plays in!! Good luck and lets shut down the all Iggles in week 3. 

TMX out.

Fall is here

I woke up today and the house was nice and cold. All my windows were open and I felt refreshed. Damn I love fall. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was at the vet with the dogs.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. I 100% should of been a veterinarian. Its insane how much money they make for 1/2 hour check up.
2. Say whatever you want about Johnny Football but man that kid is exciting.
3. What do you get a child for a gift at a Christening? I mean I usually just go with cash.
4. Jeffrey only reads the blog for the pictures.
5. 2 weeks of supper club and 2 appearances by Mark Welch.
6. Bathroom vanities are way more expensive than I ever imagined.
7. Are you guys sure they don't put crack in Mary Lou's coffee?
8. Jeffrey is playing in his golf league championship this Wednesday after beating Rob last week.
9. Supah P is out of the landscaping business. Somewhere Big Bob is smiling.
10. This is one of the craziest years in fantasy football that I can remember.
11. Is anyone else playing matching with friends? I don't really get  it.
12. Now I am hearing Welchies bachelor party will not be in Vegas after all.
13. Jeffrey is looking to get to Fred and Steves steak house at Twin Rivers.
14. I can not believe that it is hockey season already.
15. Who is going to #beard night tomorrow at Fenway park? Chrissy?
16. When does Angry Birds Star Wars 2 come out?
17. I have not bought a new video game in quite some time but I am itching to get Madden 25, just so I can play as Barry Sanders and I wouldn't mind me some Grand Theft Auto.
18. Tile is fucking expensive as well. Floor tile, wall tile, back splash tile, and fucking accent tile. EXPENSIVE!
19. Can you guess who's cousin this is?

Hope to see ya all Sunday at the Christening.

TMX is Back

TMX fantasy review is BACK!!


First we have some great news folan.com has now taken over TMX and is found on Twitter at @folandotcom!! All the loyal TMX stockholders should be thrilled with the buy out!! TMX will still keep its name and its review going.

This season we have new rules and new players in the league!! ADSL has employed the flex position which was suppose to be the death of the All Iggles team but when people are STILL leaving 40 plus points on the bench Mr. Iggle himself actually laughed not his usual smirk but straight up laughter at the lack of fantasy football knowledge!!!


 


There is also a new member to the league - Non talking Scott is the head of the Blue Falcons (he has a silent partner, the conversations they must have). We tried to interview him but well he doesn't talk. All the changes in the league we still have one constant. Bill Smiddy former owner of Smiddawgs was up to his usual "I dont care about anyone but myself" moves as he blew off the draft and is no longer in the league.

SOS...........Same ol' Smiddy.............shirts are available soon. The added roster lead to higher scores and getting 100 points all but guarantees you had the worse week. Its going to take a little feeling out but looks to be another exciting year.





The winner this week with 181 was My Grandmother Cant Wrestle but You should see her Box (editors note - that name is ridiculously long so long joke dies, also the decimal part of the point system doesnt register on TMX commodore 64 so its left off). Team too long rode the arm of Peyton Manning who put up a 70 burger on Thursday and never looked back.
Second place with 179 was, always in the mix,  Beachbums who had a chance to win if his rb didnt put up a NEGATIVE -2.
Third place with 158 was Dirty Moon Crickets who rode AP and AJ to a big week.
4-10 place went as follows:
BlackDynomite 144
Sflabo with 139
Jerkshots 132
Setitforgetit 129
Slippery Wizards 119
Nutzaway 109
The bottom teams are in need of some serious work and they are already down almost 80pts!!


Now on to the ALL IGGLES team(who refuses to play a Flex):

QB-          E. Manning                       45pts                  Jerkshots
RB-          F.  Jackson                       12pts                  Setitforgetit
RB-          S. Vereen                         24pts                  Beach Bums
WR-         A. Boldin                           43pts                  Slippery Wizards
WR-         J.  Nelson                          27pts                 Beach  Bums
TE-          O. Daniels                         21pts                Bluefalcons

D             Dallas                               31pts                 Jerkshots


 All Iggles totals are astounding with the extra spot available to play the right guys!! Clean it up ADSL!! Not sure what is cracking Iggles up more the fact that the most outspoken Iggles hater Jerkshots had 2 on here including the largest one or the fact that he gave the league credit and said just use the flex guys. 

Well sorry for the brief review but folandot.com and tmx are a busy place these day. Shout out to supper club and the new security team there. Thursday action. Good luck and BE BETTER than  the Iggles.

Im back

Yes I was on vacation again. For some reason I take the 1st week of September off every year. I have no reason why but I seem to recharge my batteries before the Fall season. If you don't like it too fucking bad.

This is what I learned while on vacation:

1. No matter how many times I tell Christian Daniel MacPhail that I am on vacation and not blogging he still harasses me on Monday.
2. I tried Indian food for the 1st time. I can honestly say it was not bad.
3. I checked out the Brimfield antique show last week. INSANITY!!
4. I had no idea that faucet and fixtures were so god damn expensive.
5. Let me save you some cash - Pain and Gain with Mark Wahlberg BLOWS.
6. It is so nice to have the NFL and fantasy football back.
7. Jeffrey, who gets shut off at the casino?
8. Suicide pools are fun and all but are fucking stressful.
9. Looky, Looky the Red Sox band wagon is starting to fill up slowly again.
10. Mia Regazza in Abington should be called Mia Regarbage! That place blows.
11. I can not get enough of Burger land on the Travel Channel.
12. Why again are we trying to invade Syria? Because they are fighting themselves?
13. It makes me insane that I can not find a good Cajun/Blackened/Spicy(not Buffalo) chicken sandwich, anywhere. I mean the Fours is ok but variety is the spice of life.
14. The 1st supper club of the year had one attendee - Mark Welch. The meatloaf went like a mother fucker though.
15. With my nieces and nephews being 3 or under I have been working really hard on not swearing or saying bad word that they can pick up. It is a whole lot harder than I thought.
16. Who else is geared up for Behind the B's tonight?
17. Trying to make vacation plans for next year, while absurd, is tough.
18. The dart team is back in action in a new undisclosed bar in Quincy.
19. I guess the Alumni is closed.
20. The new Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco(the spicy one) kinds sucks.
21. Has anyone heard from Supah P? Heard the kid is crushing the South Shore Poontang.
22. Chrissy and Alison are closing in on a boys name. They have it narrowed down.

Do I really have to come back from vacation to 249 emails?

Been a while

Yes, I was on vacation last week but that's not the reason I didn't post. I got caught up. Pretty straight forward. I am apologizing for being busy.

This is what I learned over the past 2 weeks:
1. The South Side Tavern in Braintree will be hosting Guiness on September 11th, engraving glassware.
2. Johnny Walker has a new Platinum coming out. How much will that be?
3. House projects, new fence:







4. Who gets a ride home from the police on fantasy football draft day? Chrissy and I, thats who. Guess it is illegal to try and flag down a cab in the street.
5. Rio is on a tear with his scratchies. Kid just killed it with a $1000 hit.
6. Is it normal that a fantasy draft is 4 hours long?
7. Anyone interested in BC/Nova tickets for Saturday?

8. Grumpy Whites are you for real with your outdoor patio/deck?
9. All the trades Chrissy was making at the fantasy draft, I am 100% shocked he didn't trade naming rights to his unborn child.
10. Typical Smiddy fashion, no showing on the fantasy draft. Good thing we had a back up to the back up.
11. The Marshfield fair is quite a shit show:

(couldn't find anyone to watch your child for a quick set)

(Shit got real when Beiber came on)

 (They would not let us actually go on this ride. They said Chrissy and I were too heavy)

12. Finally got to Lincoln in Southie. Its pretty nice and the food is great. Also got to Whiteys which was a not nearly as nice. It is good to see that nothing has really changed at the bars though. The more things change the more they stay the same.
13. Not Uncle of the year for nothing:


14. As much as I love watching football I can not get into preseason.
15. Its like the people at Starburst know me personally (mini and unwrapped!):

16. Ink for my old(Like 10 year old) printer was $66.99 so I bought a new wifi printer for $79.99. Suck it Staples.
17. Why is the first day back from vacation so long?
18. I do not know how people work the over nights as a regular shift. I mean I was all messed up for like 3 days.
19. The Chipotle steak and cheese from D'Angelo is something special.
20. Has anyone caught this extreme cheapskates show on TLC? I mean its beyond ridiculous. Makes Chrissy look like a huge spender.
21. I am loving this weather. Sleeping at night with the windows open is the best.
22. Man people are starting to tip toe back on to the Red Sox Band wagon. Meanwhile, I have been to the most games a year in forever.
23. I heard Julie Nickerson has been in town and she hasn't met up with anyone that I know of. Some friend you are.
24. What kind of bar doesn't serve shots? I am talking to you Snug in Hingham.

I am sure in the past 2 weeks I have forgotten way more shit than I have listed here.
Oh well sue me.

Back and alive

We all made it back alive from Atlantic City.  Phelps' bachelor party was a sweeping success.  I know I am getting older but its good to let loose for a whole weekend once a year. Who is next up to get hitched? I think it is Mark Welch. I hope everyone is saving up for that bachelor party....VEGAS CITY!

This is what I learned from dirty Jersey!

1. Pedi cab races are legit, dangerous and fun.
2. I wish I knew someone who liked Nerds:

3. The Rain Forest cafe is no place for 10 guys to grab dinner. SAFARI of ZERO!
4. Winners win:

5. Its amazing people don't know what a suicide pool is.
6. Brightys sister in law hit a million on the new $10 tickets.
7. I have no idea if anyone else had a good time at the Bikini Beach bar but Drake sure did:


8. Anyone looking for Pats tickets? Mark Coffey has 3 games available - Browns, Bills and Miami.
9. People still pregaming in their hotel rooms?
10. You got me Spirit airlines - backpacks are free yet you let me pay $45!! Shame on you.
11. Only in America. Im sure Chrissy would throw her a finner:

12. Jimmy Buffet must have nothing but dough. He bought a casino, added a Margaritaville then a LandShark bar and grill on the beach (the food wasn't bad either). MUST BE NICE!
13. Eating only one time during the day is no bueno.
14. Tangers outlets are fucking everywhere.
15. You didn't hear this from me but Calnan did a Jersey shore confessional. There may even be a copy of it floating around.
16. AC wasn't as scummy as I thought it was going to be. The Revel Casino was the fanciest spot I went into.
17. Massachusetts needs to get on board with Happy hour.
18. Buying beers and bringing them into a strip club in a brown paper bag is just weird.
19. Getting a sunburn on a vacation is part of the vacation, right?
20. Lets see 8 1/2 hours driving or 50 minutes flying - what would you choose?

A whole weekend of drunk so I am sure I forgot a ton more things. Thats why we have a comments section.

Suck it

I have no problem with anyone, answering any question with "suck it".
Do you want to go out for beers - SUCK IT!
Hows life - SUCK IT!
Hey you see that hottie over there - SUCK IT!
Do you write a blog on Mondays - SUCK IT!
Suck it is smooth like butter.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. People are all types of angry that its low 60's during the summer. I rather enjoy it.
2. Remicks what happened?
3. Korean BBQ is the shit.
4. I heard people complaining about the revitalization/rebuilding of Quincy center being a waste of tax money. I would rather see the city use the money for that than build yet another school.
5. I will never be confused with being a mason.
6. I have said it before and I will say it again. I do not understand the allure of training camp.
7. Mario knows a guy who knows a guy who can get you on the field at Fenway:

8. How did I not find out to last  minute that Bel Biv Devoe was gonna be at Mohegan sun this past weekend.
9. I heard someone at Game On asking what Morgan magic was, I almost slapped him.
10. The RF bud seats are not that impressive (even if you get on NESN):

11. Mario has a deal in place to buy his parents joint. So he is suspending his house search. PARTIES IN REVERE BITCHES!
12. Is there anything worse than pulling a muscle in your lower back?
13. Will all the Apple nerds rush out to see the Steve Jobs movie with Ashton Kutcher?
14. Speaking of Apple is there anything worse than grabbing your ipod and the batteries are fucking dead? Like anything you were going to do it straight up ruined.
15. Port 305 in Marina bay is pretty good.
16. I woke up this am with my throat on fire. My wife has been telling me for years that I may have allergies. She may be right.
17. Here is Joe Q's 5th wheeler - http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/rvs/3980723548.html if anyone is interested.
18. I am pumped about this Peavy trade for Inglesias.
19. How many fantasy leagues is too many fantasy leagues?
20. Since it is so difficult to find a great blackened/Cajun chicken sandwich around here I have been perfecting my Cajun/blackening seasoning at home.

Till next week. As always I am sure there are plenty of things that I have left out.
