Every week we chronicle the life of a fantasy loser (me) in two separate pay leagues. On Monday we will recap what the hell went wrong, on Thursday I’ll run over your suggestions for what to do with my teams.

Don’t screw me.

Here’s the first of many podcasts from Eytan Shander. We’ll try to bring different opinions on the big stories, highlight some smaller ones, and bring to light the bizarre. Sports will be an ingredient of this but not the main one.

Intro -

Johnny Football was born the wrong color… Green – 4:30

Watch out Wilt – 22:00

The claim of 20,000 women still rings from coast to coast. Fresh off the court, the “Stilt” really put his nickname to use. It was the gradual need to increase that fueled such an impressive accomplishment. Like anything, one turns to two which turns to ten which before you know it is 20,000.

Whether she knows it or not, Ania Lisewska has been inspired by Wilt from the heavens above. She looks at 20,000 men as a warm-up lap. No, times that by five and you get 100,000 men. That will be the biggest accomplishment in the history of Craigslist.

Ania2“I want to make love with a man from Poland, Europe, and other countries around the world. I love men, sex, and something fun,”

I love the math here. 81 years old is the average lifespan of a Polish woman. So she would have to be at a pace of 32 men a week, putting her roughly 4.5 per day. But there’s a catch, at least for her, Ania isn’t “working” on the weekdays. So that’s about 14 men each Saturday and Sunday.

Good luck!

The ballot box is officially closed. We have found not only the dumbest criminal this year, we are now nominating him for the dumbest man alive.

Feel free to comment below or email us at [email protected] if you have someone else, but it’s going to take a whole hell of a shitload to top this debacle.

“The would-be robber apparently was looking to step up his weaponry”

Yea, about that… Mr. Mosley’s just lucky there wasn’t any gimp in the background.

Did you catch it? You would have had to be paying attention ahead of time I’m sure. Maybe it came to you a couple of days later, like it did to me, upon listening to another talk show host on another show explain the details again of the NFL settlement. Whether you think the NFL is covering their tail to protect their interests, or the players got screwed royally, the bottom line is something even bigger was in play.

The latest news comes out that the players wanted more money, and were in danger of losing this case all together. Still, this isn’t even the larger piece that came out from these delegations. The serious component that a lot of fans don’t get to see up close and personal, is actually quite real. Men who gave up a lot of time and sacrifice, granted who were rewarded or compensated greatly, are now dealing with the after effects of playing.

Two billion dollars is a lot of change, is it fair? I am in no position to decide.

I want people playing now, or who have finished playing recently, to be able to get medical attention they deserve. I also have no idea the extent of profits NFL teams, including the league as a whole, are pulling in. My gut tells me the league can afford it, but then I see comments from Judge Anita Brody and wonder how much it truly can.

I’m not sure if Brody is a football fan, but her approach to court ordered mediation on this one was spot on. If you look a little deeper you see genuine concern that long term court battles between both sides would do serious PR damage. Yes, public relations would be working overtime for a league that is so popular it’s bound to have enemies. But there’s something more at work here, how this sport and league have grown into an integral piece of our society.

Sports may not be totally dominant in your house, you may be the only one who gives a damn about anything sport related. You may be the only one who even exercises. The NFL through it’s ever increasing popularity, has permeated mainstream society more than anything we’ve ever seen. The NFL is a vital piece of our social fabric that makes up our society. We need it like other sports as a distraction, but the NFL is THE distraction.

You know. You see it. Right around this time everything stops. It stopped for the start of College Football season, but will stop for that once we kick off this Thursday night in Baltimore Denver. We can’t afford to lose this game as we know it right now. I remember how important the return of MLB was in New York City after 9/11. This is preventing something from going away, possibly coming back in a distorted way we can’t recognize. We need this game.

Unlike other sports if the NFL were to be hit over the head with constant lawsuits. If it were to see insurance premiums go up to through the proverbial roof. If the most popular game from Seattle to Boston, from Bismarck to Corpus Christi, were to disappear it would be catastrophic. The amount of money tied in to the NFL from the American economy makes the league a little more than an onlooker. This league has already flexed muscles dealing with anything from the FED to ESPN. So as much as you may despise the owners, the commish, or even the refs, think for a second how important our infrastructure is. It’s tied to the NFL now more than any sport ever in our history.

If you don’t think the NFL’s ties to branding, and who they get in business with don’t have an impact on our day to day. Talk to my buddy Matt in Baltimore, about how Mayflower trucks are still despised because of their involvement in the “move”. As he put it, “NFL wounds have the capacity to transcend generations.” That’s power folks. Whenever you wield it, it’s going to be great for some and piss the hell off of others.

Safety at stadiums is a concern that continues to grow, we have the bag police out now at NFL homes. But the reality is they have been airtight. Stadiums are more than just a place where at times over 70,000 people get together, it’s a symbol of strength in unity. Seeing thousands of fans in unison cheer or boo, the emotion that comes through the crowd can’t be simulated in any practice.

It’s not just one game, it’s one week, it’s one season, it’s the future as well. The NFL probably did have information regarding brain trauma, probably did hide it, probably still hiding it now.

But the bigger issue here, and I don’t even know if it’s a good or bad thing, is how large exactly this league is. It’s about whether we as a country can survive more down times without a pro football league like the NFL. It wouldn’t even be a situation where you were born into it, this would be the loss of the game combined with the ripping of it from your grasp. Money is the biggest issue, not player safety or fan concern. Nobody in congress would jump up and down to protect the fan from the NFL’s disbanding. Besides, it prints it’s own money. Then pulls in more from TV, Radio, advertisers, and of course you.

There simply had to be a better way. No imminent danger, in fact, if this went down it would be as one sided as it gets. But nonetheless, a guy in a position who should know better, acts like an idiot and puts everyone else under the microscope.

How does this even happen? A man so stupid he leaves as miniscule an opening for a door of a legal defense as possible? Yes.

This man exists and he doesn’t care what you think of his YouTube operation.

Kyle has provided us with some key details here in this amazingly idiotic story. First, authorities didn’t have to do squat since this whole thing was broadcast over the net. Second, and maybe most importantly, the nature of these videos.

((“Showing how to grow it, how to set it up, what chemicals he uses, where he gets his seeds,” Assistant Rockingham County Attorney Jerome Blanchard said of the videos. “He’s very detailed about how he is doing it.”))

Good luck when the judge sees that one.

Part of crime solving has to be simply waiting people out. It’s like there’s a fail switch that criminals have, where no matter what they will do something to all but hand themselves over to the police. Nooksack, Washington is no exception to this, as the oldest trick in the book comes back to bite these idiots.

Probably my favorite little detail here: they would have gotten away for it, if it not for those meddling kids at the Pay N’ Spray.

Washington state has already begun to see the positive ramifications of decriminalizing marijuana. Compassion. This is not reserved for one’s brother or sister. No this phenomenon has stretched into the animal kingdom. Good thing for the town of Bellingham, there’s a leader in this field.

Squirrel’s can be pesky, but shooting them with a gun can be inhumane. That’s why there’s a bow and arrow. Compassion comes in odd forms, like providing a bag of weed to the squirrell you just impaled with an arrow.

There’s also the argument this man is just a terrible shot, and an even worse planner. He’s also never seen Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, this could have gone down much different.
