Forgive me league, for
I have sinned…I’m recovering from a severe 2 week case of writer’s block. #week8
Rave of the Week
Every year I love to give the Eastern GM’s crap for being
the least of the two divisions. The West only plays them once a year, but they
are the opposition we meet if we make it to the Superbowl. Yet I often truncate their regular season
victories because they've been like the little brother (literally) to the West
for years.
However, if I’m being honest, I do not want to have anything
to do with that division this year. [Spoiler alert] The East has quietly
produced the stronger competition the past two years. It was serendipitous
that I ended up playing Dan in the Superbowl last year as opposed to Hery or
Maucus (who both finished regular season better). Owen has dominated all year,
yet his only losses have come from…the East.
It only gets better (or worse) Hery’s “Sesame Street Gang” store
front is about as innocent as, “Los Pollos Hermanos” meanwhile the formerly “Rocket
Scientists” has picked up a serious dark side these past few years. Gotham
Knights [insert every Batman joke ever used the last 8 years] is not playing
around this year and Orange Crush [irony] owns Manning (who’ll get you at least
4 wins every year by himself). It’s going to SUCK to be in 4th place
in the East this year. Instead of referring to you all as the “least,” I’m
going to have to start respecting you all as the, “beast.”
Well done, east…
Now that I've said that, never expect to hear another good
word from me, again.
Rant of the Week
There’s plenty to celebrate this week: I won, we all wanted
a Steve win (just not against us), the Royals won and most importantly…my Champs
are back tonight for another season to take on LeBron, Part IV!
If you’re not familiar (Owen) with my allegiance to a random
city’s team in Texas, I won’t bother…only because it involves at least a 7,000
word essay that timelines my life and why I love the Spurs. #GSG
There’s nothing better than your favorite team crushing your
least favorite player and being able to talk about it for 365 days. How can my
elevated joy-joy-joy-joy stay down in my heart? [Long story short] I've applied
to be a guest columnist for a Spurs fan website, “Project Spurs.” I’ve written
in the league for years…why not try professionally? It’d be awesome to use my
verbal gifts to talk about my favorite team all the time! All of these creative
insights, rants, raves, Tuesday (or Wednesday) repetitions have come to…
This would have little impact on the league as most of the
NBA season takes places during the NFL’s off-season, but it would be a most
excellent replacement once the fantasy season concludes annually.
I’m out like the Giants, hopefully… #Royals
