"Are you ready for some football?!?!" Has been silenced. Hank Williams Junior was fired from ESPN after using an analogy that compared Obama to Hitler. I'm not defending Hank Jr (he's an idiot and what do you expect when you give the man a microphone?) but my concern is I doubt the people who are condemning Hank Jr held themselves to that same standard when Bush was in office. For example, Family Guy has made similar if not worse jokes about Dubya while he was still in office and I didn't see (nor would I want to see) that show pulled off the air or punished. I'm all about fairness and free speech but this is a double standard our society has created regarding criticizing the man in office.
The best part of great controversy is that it always sparks some amazing comedy.
You can add Andre Johnson and (sigh) Chad Henne to last week's running tally of notable injuries. If Reggie Bush wasn't the answer to the Fin's lack of offense I'm pretty sure neither is Sage Rosenbush. At what point in the season can teams begin throwing games for the #1 Draft Pick? Luck will look great in Orange and Turquoise.
In our league we've seen some surprising things. Only four week's into this season E actually won one. Usually he waits until Thanksgiving before unleashing the hounds. My sweet mother came out of no where to put down a beating on my sister. Sounds like I had a rough childhood. I did, one time I didn't get Nintendo for 2 weeks.
What's in store for this week's Matchups! (0-5 Last weeks....now that's just embarrassing)
MATCHUP OF THE WEEK! JetLovinJunior vs. What's Your Deal?: The battle of 3-1 giants rages this week as Joe and Ana duel. Drew Brees vs. Tom "Big Haircut" Brady. This one will get pretty close. I hope Ana brags every Sunday to E how great her team is doing while E watches Mike Vick get hurt. She won't be bragging this week though as the nasty duo of Brady and AP are just too much to handle. Deal by 15pts.
Suck for Luck vs. DOGGIES: After a huge point total last week I'm not sure if Beanie Wells and Co. can repeat against the #1 spot. Jeremy has a good team but really no one seems to do much against his squad. Eventually a Defense will figure out Tom Brady throws to Wes Welker....ALOT. I think the Jets are pretty dumb but not that dumb? They can't be. I'll take Dogs to repeat with big games from Rodgers, Jennings the New York G-Men. Dogs by 5pts.
Romosexual Regrets vs. Evil Shenanigans: If Tony Romo were a combat pilot he'd already be busted down to flying cargo planes full of rubber dog #$%@ out of Hong Kong. Shenanigans by 8pts.
Chaos vs. Starfish: What happens when the league's best pass rush meets the leagues most sacked quarterback? We'll find out on Monday Night Football when the Lions meet the Bears. Are you ready for some.....oh yea not doing that anymore. Look for the Lions to make a statement in primetime and Brad's Fantasy team to roll as a result. Chaos by 10pts.
Been There vs. The Jets Fan: Would love to pick against E in this matchup. Would love to pick against E in every matchup. It takes a lot for me to pick E to win. Seeing Heather's roster not updated with an hour and a half until kickoff raises enough concern for me to write something I never thought I'd write. Jet's Fan wins by A lot!
Big Fan of Pandora? Then you'll be a celebrity stalker of Slacker Radio. It's like Pandora just ridiculously better. Check it out at www.slacker.com.
With the NBA Lockout all but certain i'm sure Jeremy is really excited to finally have someone to talk WNBA with.
Get your rosters set in advance people!
Enjoy the games this weekend! Highly looking forward to Monday Night Football, Nathe (some of you may know) is having a poker game that night, let me know if you feel like giving me all of your money.
What? Me Worry?
