Apparently the gals in my league are incredibly defensive about the name Sloth Cloth? One wrote, "we sound like a group of fat lazy nuns." All that from an old t-shirt that you wear around the house?
After reading through the exhausting number of complaints that were jamming up my inbox (Upside is our winnings are increasing because as I stated in the rules, WHINING IS A $5.00 FINE LADIES), I changed the name. The new name is The Hail Mary’s, which I must say is better, but seriously gals, maybe next time you should use all that whining and complaining to lobby for more money for our schools or some shit like that.
My second order of business is to knowledge you gals up. If you have any interest in football, or just conversing with men, and by conversing I mean more than “my breasts, unlike your beer, are not twist offs” let me give you a few little tidbits from the week in football. I’ve decided to go with a quick poem, because it’s Friday and I’m feeling freaky.
Thanks to McNabb, Michael Vick signed a deal
The Raiders should thank him, their spotlight he did steal
Brett Favre is a traitor according to those in Green Bay
And Burress will be gone for two years and likely never again play.
In a nutshell, Michael Vick signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Raiders head coach allegedly punched an assistant coach or knocked him out of his chair depending on the story you read, sending him to the hospital. Favre signed with the Vikings (Green Bay’s biggest rival) and Plaxico Burress, after taking a gun to a New York nightclub and somehow managing to shoot himself in the leg, not once but twice, with the same bullet, is going to prison for two years. He will be 34 years old when he gets out. All that and the season hasn’t even started.
One other thing, I keep telling you how much fun our fantasy league is. The men are certainly loving it. Last week some guy said I was the greatest writer EVER and last night one of the husbands in our league hacked into his wife’s account, which he called a “shared” family account and sent an email to the group. His message? Lay off the wine and step away from the computer. He didn’t like the number of emails his “shared” account was receiving. Yeah right. Jealousy is an ugly quality.
OK one more thing, I promise. If you have HBO you have to watch Hard Knocks. It is yummy and educational all at the same time. The show follows the Cincinnati Bengals through their training camp. Give it one shot, I PROMISE you'll love it. Please send all thank you’s via my "contact me" button.
