10-5 so far this week. It feels good to be winning again. My fantasy team also scored 113 points this week for a win too. 4-7 is not good. The best I can hope for is 7-7 and everyone else crumbles. I completed a trade with Cocks before the deadline. I sent him Shockey for Addai. I didn't start Addai this week because Mendenhall and K. Smith went off. Shockey didn't even get him 2 points, but he still probably got the better end of it. His RBs are Jackson and Chris Johnson. TE was his only week spot.

The Vikings are rolling and are probably the best team in the NFL. It looks like a Vikings/Pats Super Bowl could be upon us. I guess I'll be getting ink done. FML.

Maybe you might have some advice to give, on how to be, insensitive

I'm about to be really insensitive, you might want to move on.

ESPN's list of AL Manager of the year contenders.

Ron Gardenhire, Twins

"Gardenhire didn't have Joe Mauer for the first 22 games or Justin Morneau for the final 21 games, yet the Twins still managed to win the AL Central in Game No. 163 and advance to the playoffs."

Mike Scioscia, Angels

"It was a season of tragedy and obstacles for the Angels, beginning with the death of Nick Adenhart, but Scioscia brought the team together and deftly navigated it to another AL West title."

Lets play would you rather.

Would you rather be without a three time batting champ for 22 games and a league MVP that happens to be your teams biggest run producer for another 21 or be without a mediocre rookie pitcher?

I guess $113 million not only buys you an AL West title every year. Fuck this is dumb. Because someone died he wins this award? A team that was picked by everybody to win their division won their division. Big fucking surprise. He got 15 first place votes as compared to 6 for Gardie. Fucking Girardi got 4 first place votes. I know I do the woe is me small market team thing all the time, but this is a rip off. They have gotten every other award right so far this year. $65 million. That's the Twins' payroll. $24 million of that is Mauer and Morneau. Delmon Young is our everyday left fielder. Delmon Fucking Young. Manship! A man named Manship pitched important games. Really voters? Really? Fuck you voters. First Pedroia, now this? You're dead to me. You know who else got votes? Jim Leyland. They collapsed to the Twins for the 2nd time in 4 years. Leyland won this award in 2006 when the Twins WON THE DIVISION. Gardenhire has never won this award. How many games do the Angels win with Gardie? 110? How about the Yankees? 120?

At least they can't fuck up the MVP awards. Then again, this is the press. They could find some way to give it to Jeter.

Reports are the Twins can spend money this offseason. One rumor is them bringing in Matsui to DH. That's a good idea. A lot of people from the upper Midwest can identify with a Japanese man that doesn't speak English. They need to extend Mauer now. The Sox and Yanks would have no trouble buying him in 2010. I want them to trade for Milton Bradley and make the Cubs pay his salary. He's an AL player and the Twins won't let him fuck around. I can't wait for the Sox or Yanks to sign Matt Holliday only to find out he's only good in the NL. Look up his AL stats from last season.

NFL Picks

It's Wednesday, time for shitty football picks. Will I get raped again? First, I've yet to start at the new job. I trained, did a background check, and trained some more, but not the 10-6 yet. It's been frustrating since to fill the income void I've been doing this online job that requires staring at a computer screen 6-8 hours to make any money. I don't know how people do it. I would go crazy having to work on a computer all day. I get a headache 2 hours in. Maybe it just takes some adjustment. Anyways, on to the picks.

Miami Dolphins +3.5 over Carolina Panthers
This is the toughest game. Is their 2 better 4-5 teams right now?
Detroit Lions -3.5 over Cleveland Browns
C'mon Detroit. Poor Stafford. I bet he got hit on every passing play in the second half last week.
Green Bay Packers -6.5 over San Francisco 49ers
The Niners are f'd if the Packers D that showed up last week shows up this week.
Pittsburgh Steelers -9.5 over Kansas City Chiefs
Washington Redskins +11.5 over Dallas Cowboys
Really. Dallas 11.5 point favorites against a division rival?
Atlanta Falcons +6.5 over New York Football Giants
New Orleans Saints -11.5 over Tampa Bay Bucs
The Saints have to cover this week.
Buffalo Bills +8.5 over Jacksonville Jaguars
Indianapolis Colts +.5 over Baltimore Ravens
This is a tough one. Could be a trap game for the Colts.
Minnesota Vikings -11.5 over Seattle Seahawks
Not going against the Vikes again.
St. Louis Rams +8.5 over Arizona Cardinals
San Diego Chargers -2.5 over Denver Broncos (Lock)
Cincinnati Bengals -9.5 over Oakland Raiders
Could be a let down game after the big win. Bengals next 3: Oakland, Cleveland, Detroit. 10-2?
New England Patriots -10.5 over New York Jets
Pats are pissed.
Chicago Bears +3.5 over Philadelphia Eagles
Tennessee Titans +4.5 over Houston Texans (21-18)

No more bye weeks, thank god.

Who needs sleep

I have been having the worst time sleeping lately. It's been for the last 10-14 days. I'm not having trouble falling asleep. The problem is staying asleep. It seems like once I wake up in the middle of the night I'm awake 45 minutes to an hour. It's getting really annoying and starting to wear me down. Last night it happened 3 times and the last time I just ended up staying awake even though I didn't have to be up until 2 hours later.

Remember when these guys were huge? I listened to "Stunt" all the time.

Just complaining,

Season......over........

I lost again this week. My team under performed by 20 points. Reggie Wayne had over 1/4 of my points again. Second time in 3 weeks. FML or FMT is how the fantasy geeks are saying it now. My picks were awful too.

Bears +2.5 over SF 49ers-wrong
Saints -13.5 over Rams -wrong
Dolphins -9.5 over Bucs-wrong
Lions +16.5 over Vikings-wrong
Jets -6.5 over Jaguars-wrong
Titans -6.5 over Bills-correct
Steelers -6.5 over Bengals-wrong
Broncos -4.5 over Redskins-wrong
Falcons -1.5 over Panthers-wrong
Chiefs +1.5 over Raiders-correct
Eagles +2.5 over Chargers-wrong
Seahawks +8.5 over Cardinals-wrong
Packers +2.5 over Cowboys-correct
Patriots +2.5 over Colts-correct

I should win tomorrow night, but that's only 5 correct. There were some upsets and near upsets so there is nothing you can do about the that. Now my goal is to play fantasy spoiler for the rest of the season.

Picks

After going 11-2 I go 4-9. It was karma because I was bragging. I will get back on track. I'm still better than 79% of everyone on ESPN.com. That's good I guess. Here are my picks.

Bears +2.5 over SF 49ers
Why are the 49ers favored in this game?
Saints -13.5 over Rams
Dolphins -9.5 over Bucs
There is some tape on Freeman now.
Lions +16.5 over Vikings
Vikes still win, they just won't cover.
Jets -6.5 over Jaguars
Titans -6.5 over Bills
VY sure looks good.
Steelers -6.5 over Bengals
Sorry Cocks
Broncos -4.5 over Redskins
Falcons -1.5 over Panthers
Chiefs +1.5 over Raiders
Boring!
Eagles +2.5 over Chargers
Seahawks +8.5 over Cardinals
Still think the Cards win by a few though.
Packers +2.5 over Cowboys
Patriots +2.5 over Colts
Should be a great game because it is every year.
Ravens -10.5 over Browns (34-9 + Lock O' The Week)
How do the Browns have a MNF game? They need to start flex scheduling on Monday's too and they need to start it after week 8. Wouldn't you rather watch Phi/SD or Dal/GB? I'm taking 8 favorites and 7 underdogs.

Fantasy team is floundering. I picked up Jamaal Charles this week. I'm going to wait and see how he produces without LJ before I start him. I play Dunk this week. We're both 3-6. He's in 8th I'm in 9th yet we have more points than the 6th and 7th place guys. I'm starting Brees, Wayne, Driver, Megatron, Maroney, Mendenhall, Witten, Crosby, and Pittsburgh. 100 points projected.

I only scored 76 points last week. Third and three/goal late in the 4th with a 11 point lead the Steelers threw instead of running Mendenhall. They run, he gets a TD, and I win. Mike Tomlin can eat penises.

Obit

Everyday at some point I go over to the GF Herald website and check out the obituaries. I do this to see if I know anyone that has died. One thing I always notice is the pictures used in the obit. Why would you want a picture of yourself when you were 80 to be in your tribute? Not me.

Here are my wishes for when I die:

1.Cremated or stuffed. You can actually just preserve my head and hang it on a wall like you shot me in Africa if you want.

2.No funeral and use a picture of me from my 20s in the obit.

3.Instead of a funeral a keg party at which cups only cost 69 cents. Proceeds go to the taxidermist.

4.Use my urn, stuffed body, or head as a fantasy football trophy.

5.At the keg there will be a series of speakers. On my computer there is a document called "SEX LIST." It's in a hidden folder in My Documents on the C drive. Find the women on that list. They can share their trysts with me. You think the story is funny from my perspective imagine their side of the stories. (*= sex, #= beej by the way)

6.Only music by Styx is to be played at said party.

7.Before the cremation, stuffing, or beheading get whatever you can for my organs on the black market and donate my brain to research.

(Why do we call it a black market? Seems racist)

8.In case you need anything, the password to most of my accounts is "buttplug."

9.Sorry, but I'm going to haunt you.

10.If someone kills me on purpose don't retaliate. Instead if I have no children take and freeze some of my semen (there's plenty in a towel under my bed) and fertilize some eggs with it. Find some down on her luck ho to carry the child. Let my child avenge my death.
