America's Team

Well, those fortunate enough to watch Monday Night Football, and there apparently were a lot of us, were in for a treat. It was a high scoring, back 'n' forth, nail biter, that featured plays both brilliant and boneheaded, and ultimately resulted in the good guys wining! Dallas is looking quite good this year, keeping their biggest weapons from last year and adding some new ones. Additionally, bringing in Adam 'No longer Pacman' Jones, who's only been arrested a few times and involved in just ONE shooting, should improve the team's sometimes questionable image.



This game was particularly interesting for me since I literally had over half my fantasy roster playing in the game (in retrospect I probably should have dropped the Eagles D, although it did make it a little easier to handle Romo handing the Eagles the ball in the end zone). Of course the play of the night belonged to Mr. Jackson. What's stupider than negating your FIRST NFL touchdown by throwing away the ball at the 1 yard line in a premature celebration? Doing it for the second time in your career! The best part is that Westbrook scored the TD on the next play, so instead of sharing the TD fantasy points with Alex, I got them by myself. My plan of crushing Alex's fantasy football spirit (which involved a seacret trip to Argentina, in order spy on him while he chose his picks and declared his favorite player) is well under way!

well put michael... without nate, poots world has succumbed to the basic fantasy sports shit-talking showdown... i don't know if that could fit on the banner or not but my friend... two can play that game. i could see your smile when deshaun dropped that touchdown run, yes thats right, i have made some adjustments,since my fantasy boy wonder happened to not reach the expectations i once held for him.... pac man's blue and grey hybrid suit is so fun when you happen to be on top of the world, isn't it... well, this ain't over yet...
