WEEK 7 Smells Like Poopy Diapers

First an apology to all you baglovers out there. I have neglected the site's design for too long and will take whatever penalty. Good news is that the layout is complete. Awesomely themed GB2K8 "The Bar". With the help of some friends the site should be up by week's end.

Now let the shit-talking commence!

Secondly, another apology for the less-than super write ups that has flown across your LCDs this season. I had high hopes going into the new year with some fresh blood but to say it's been disappointing is an understatement. I won't go into great length bad mouthing the newbies but I have to say that despite that fact that this is an open forum, you should both stay on point (Ryan) and write something of substance (Jason). I had hopes after seeing Ryan's first entry but after falling asleep half way through the novella I realized it may be a bit much for our reader's attention span. Lenny's only write up, which was an awesome recap of our sporting jaunt across America, didn't really speak to any baggage. With all of us separated by one game each it's time to take this seriously and get down to some bag business. You don't want to start the payoff with enough penalty shots to kill a small farm animal. Git 'er done! On time. We're all busy! 

The hardest part of the off season was saying goodbye to Shawn and Boe Boe. Boe is busying himself with taking over the country (and consequently the world I imagine) down south so I completely get it. Fitzy's moving on to fatherhood so he's going to need all the spare time he can muster to put out baby fires all over the dirty jerz.

Awesome pic. Couldn't help but chuckle as I photoshop'd the finishing touches! Those not privy to the TFB please take a moment and check this out. Hopefully Shawn will take a page out of my book and hide the lighter fluid! Seriously many congrats to Shawn and Julie as well as Berto and Karen and the recently made beer spawn of Paula and Dan. That leaves the rest of us pondering the question, to kid or not to kid. I for one would like to see it happen someday. I was discussing this question over many beers last Sunday with a person who shall remain nameless. He was explaining how it would cut into his personal time too much or that the responsibility was too great yada yada. Fast forward a few (beers, hours, both) and I discovered the real reason behind his hesitation:  A muffled drunken indecipherable baby speak. I realized that like the rest of us childless souls he's hesitant to release the baby inside himself. Wow that's deep. Why don't you put yourself in a cab buddy.

 Sure we'll be ripping into the daddies for their lame talk of sleepless nights and trips to the store for more diapers but ultimately they'll have the last laugh over us late boomers. At least they're doing it while they're still (somewhat) young. Fast forward a few and they'll be the ones ripping into me because all their munchkins are potty trained and in pre-school while I'm still trying to get over my fecalphobia. Hey I've been through this already. I left South Florida in 2001 partly because all my friends settled down in West Broward and started pumping out rug rats and consequently left the fun zone. Oh I see them now and then and it's usually a blow out but long gone are the fungi days (pronounced fun-guy). Now they're resigned to using secret man code like, "...sorry honey I have a meeting tonight in Board Room C. It'll probably go late". That's not to say this will happen here but throw a few down Tony's throat and you'll get the real daddy scoop. It's not the end of drunken fun, rather that the moments will be more poignant. We'll certainly miss awesome Shawn shenanigans like this one but change is always good and a necessity for some. The alternative is us all getting on the bandwagon and getting en preggo'd. I mean can you seriously imagine what Lennyspawn would be like??

I may not be a word-smith but I can fuck up some photoshop.

Standings:

Ryan 7-5
Atlanta Falcons 4-2
Philadelphia Eagles 3-3

Jason 6-7
Miami Dolphins 2-4
Chicago Bears 4-3

Randie 5-7
Baltimore Ravens 3-3
Houston Texans 2-4

Lenny 4-8
Oakland Raiders 2-4
St. Louis Rams 2-4

Week 8 - Oakland at Baltimore, Buffalo at Miami, St Louis at NE, Atlanta at Philly, Cincinnati at Houston and the Bears have a by bye buy.

As you can see there it's still pretty tight in the standings. I didn't think three of those teams would have two wins all season! I 'spect to go 2-0 this weekend and grace your desktops once again.


I can't make heads or tails of this NFL season so far. Good teams bad, horrible teams winning games. The Vince-less Thumtacks are the only undefeated team. Vick's looking for an early release. No pinkie in the stinkie for Romo. Dogs and cats living together! There's been more canning than at a Tuna Plant in Alaska. In fact not sine the French revolution has there been more beheadings. We should have done a head coach murder pool... who gets the axe first.
