Sick Watch - Day 2

Yesterday marked the 3rd day during DJ's self-imposed smoking ban that he has taken a day off due to the "flu."

That must be one hell of set of withdrawals he's going through.

Sick Watch

Yesterday marks day two of time taken off by DJ Harriman during his self-imposed attempt to quit smoking. The following questions remain:

- Is he really sick?
- Is it the withdrawals from quitting smoking?
- Did he forget to put his patch on?
- Did he put two patches on by accident?
- Will he ever get off the nicotine?
- Will he switch to chaw?
- Will he switch to meth?
- Is his immune system forever destroyed because of his smoking habit?
- How much sick time does he have left?

Only time will tell... Only time will tell.

- This year's front runner for the St. Louis Rams award = Maple Bar Hyperlink (0-3)

- I so Hiiiiiiiiiiigh... score of the week - Undecided (105.36 - On Ronnie Brown's 5 TD day.)

- Weak Sauce score of the week - Go Ducks! (50.57 - Luckily the Baltimore defense kept this score above 40.)

NAFFSL - Tuesday's Trash 9/16/08

Ladies,

Today's trash features the following news:

- Cheech & Chong High Score of the Week - Johnny Drama (93.72)

- Weak Sauce Score of the Week - The Nizzle's Maple Bar Hyperlink (54.97)

- Worst Team Name of the Week - Maple Bar Hyperlink

- Weak Ass Manager of the Week - Jake Rossman

- RB Watch:
- Westbrook (49.97)
- Barber III (44.85)
- Parker (42.30)
- Turner (39.50)
- Bush (37.15) - Wow... Bush.

- WR Watch:
- Boldin (36.30)
- Royal (31.80)
- Owens (31.73)
- S. Moss (31.10)
- Calvin Johnson (30.98)

- Sharp TV Deals - If you're interested and are not on the weak ass manager list, please e-mail me for more details.

- Nate will again be handling waivers. Please e-mail him before 5 pm with your waiver pickups.

SS Investment Club - Side Effects

The first of the side effects of joining the Seriously... Switzerland(?) investment club has been felt by none other than DJ "The Butcher" Harriman.

Interestingly, DJ, the only current writer on the blog that has not left his first job also seems to take the most sick days of all of us. Maybe even more than all of us combined. On Monday, DJ called in sick... again. Why you ask? I have a hypothesis. DJ's attempt to save $50 per month by quitting smoking has led to "smoker's withdrawals." The weakened immune system and the nerves of not having his fix probably brought it on. I guess the Nicoderm CQ isn't quite up to snuff. At least we all know his "illness" isn't contagious.

If you ask me, quitting the smoke stacks is a small price to pay for the eternal wealth of a smokeless mind.

NAFFSL - Tuesday's Trash 9/9/08

Ladies,

The following is the latest installment of Tuesday's Trash... Let the games begin.

- Jake Rossman - Quoting from last week's trash... "Get's greedy goes for Brady." Greed went out of style in the 1980's. Of note, Jake is attempting a trade for OSU Beaver Derek Anderson. Note 1 - Jake will over pay for OSU players. Note 2 - Jake overvalues QBs.

- Cheech & Chong's High Score of the Week - Jason Lawton's Go Ducks! (100.64 points)
- Nice games from Fast Willie Parker and Brian Westbrook.

- Weak Sauce Score of the Week - Wood's Duckman (42.31 points)
- Quoting Lawton, "Man I drafted my cousin a good team, I wish I had them..."

- Overconfident Manager of the Week - Matt Brown
- Thinking he was going to win... Matt Brown suffers defeat. Funny.

- First Defense taken in the draft by Jake (Minnesota - 7th round) scores 2 points. Last Defense taken off waivers by James (Arizona - Free Agency) scores 14 points. I wasn't mocking your defense picks for no reason.

- QB Watch:
1. Donavon McNabb (19.52)
2. Drew Brees (18.86)
3. Aaron Rodgers (17.06)
24. Matt Hasselgarbage (7.80) - Love the pick Gelfand.

- RB Watch:
1. Michael The Burner Turner (34.65)
2. Fast Willie Parker (31.80)
3. Marion Barber (22.15)

That's it for now. Feel free to comment at your leisure. Good luck with waivers and next week. You're going to need it.

NAFFSL - Tuesday's Trash Thursday 9/4/08

Ladies,

The following is the Commissioner's note board known affectionately as "Tuesday's Trash." If you would like the Commissioner to add any good news about the week's happenings please let him know and he will put up the info. Anyways, on to the Trash!

Tuesday's Trash:

- Nate - Takes the first rookie of the Draft, Darren McFadden... Will he be the next Adrian Peterson or Cadillac Williams?

- Dom - Can the Purple Jesus last a whole season? Reggie Bush... Biggest flop of the decade? Houston Texans and Mario Williams are laughing right now.

- Lawton - Go Ducks! lands no Ducks and one Husky. Someone sell Jonathan Stewart high right now! Wes Welker, 3rd round reach?

- Jake - Get's greedy, goes for Brady. Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning falls to 9th round. Will Brady's broken foot spoil Jake's season? Maybe, Unless the Love Muhsin has something to say about it.

- James - Has holistic medicine cured Ricky Williams of his Pot addiction? In the 6th round, Williams has major upside written all over him. Will Coles be Farva's next Jennings? Will Rudi Johnson in the 10th round emerge? A team full of upside and no defense yet...

- Cuong - Drew Brees, 2nd round reach? Probably. But you never know what's going to happen now that Brees has the Shocker. Is 1.5 starting RBs going to cut it for this team?

- Zach - The ghost drafting team actually turned in a good performance. Biggest question mark... Ronnie Brown. And a Zach favorite also fell to him... Old man Ahman Green. Interested in Ricky Williams Zach?

- Brown - Solid WR corps with Marvin Harrison picked in the super value position in the 5th round. That would have never happened in 2004.

- Wood - Best Manager name in the draft award goes to... Wood. Duckman lands no Ducks. Lawton drafts for Wood and brings home a solid team. Is MJD the real deal or not?

- Dave - Johnny Drama... Need I say more? Romo and TO before Peyton Manning. Let's give Drama Jessica Simpson for free. Despite the interesting draft strategy, Drama lands a very solid team. I love Johnny Drama.

- Riper - Big Ben, 3rd round. Interesting. The departure from the 5 TE strategy may pay off for Riper this year. But with only 2 starting RBs, does Riper have enough to push through the bye weeks?

- Loren - The Mennonites, I mean Thompsonites, roll the dice with Jonathan Stewart. Will he win the starting job? With only 1 other starting RB his season hinges on Stewart... Already.

- Gelfland - The Flying FUPAs, great name, draft 4 RBs to start with and may be in a controlling trade position. Teams with only 1.5 or 2 RBs, this is the guy to talk to. Hasselbeck... Garbage! A bit of a reach there... again.

- Rick - Solid WR corps ala Brown. But does he have enough RBs to make it through the season?

Common themes this season:

- Rookie Managers do not have enough RBs.
- QBs drafted too high
- K and DEF drafted too high
