Coming Clean

The best part about being friends and having friends is being able to have man-to-man moments or opportunities to come "clean" to each other.  The national telephone survey of about 500 men ages 18 to 70 found that most would rather talk with their guy friends about current events, sports, their job, their kids — in other words, just about anything other than the state of their health . -  Stat from AARP. PS: Austin I know that stat doesn't apply to you because of age, but please entertain it anyways. For the state of my health, I, like some of us, have had to come clean about things in my past (recent and distant) which could be, failures, faults, and even sins. The best part about it? As friends, there is no judgment, no embarrassment, and even no anxiety that should be attached when telling our boys the current state of our own being.  A distant come clean moment: Some of you have had the privilege to meet one of my best friends Matt Feldmann, otherwise known as Feldy....

Futbol Season

Today is different, today is unique, and today I have waited for 8 years to come. This will be a different power rankings as today there will be no power rankings. Instead today we will focus on something much bigger the USMNT first WC game. To those who don't know much about the USA team and really the teams in their group, I will be giving you a breakdown of each so that you may know what I know and the importance of this game today.  USMNT 26-man roster breakdown: Goalies: Matt Turner - Arsenal - He will be our starter and should be our starter. - Good: He is incredibly big and incredibly good in front of the goal. Meaning if he has time to set his feet and make a save: he will. -Bad: He is horrible with the ball at his feet. He didn't start playing goalie until he was like 16 years old and it shows. Ethan Horvath  - Luton Town: He is our backup. - Good: Had a huge save against Mexico on a pk to win us the Gold cup back in the summer. To me, that means he can play in big ga...

A Caring Vulture

I'll never give away my secrets for free until today. Am I doing this because I care and to support my fellow competitors in the sexy panthers league? Never. But will I do it to prove my point and show how "caring" is how you give yourself the best chance to win fantasy leagues? Yes.  Everyone who is/has been in multiple leagues knows A.) you have a limit of how many you can be in before one of your teams starts people on bye weeks in the starting lineup and B.) you also know by about week 3 you've dialed in on one league and the rest do not matter. So what I have done is made this league the only one I care about year after year and the results show: - Last year I won my division at a record of 7-6 with the 3rd highest points for while having the most points against by 80 points. - Going into week 11, I will have the most points for and a record of 7-3.  I am not crowning myself champion or even trying to toot my own horn. But instead showing you that yes fantasy is...

And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the ones who died who gave that right to me And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the USA. (Not one of you read that, instead sang it^) Back in 1776 on the 4th of July 56 delegates got together and signed the decleration of independence from the "fooking brits". Close your eyes and imagine the room. The tension, the bravery, and leadership needed from these men to pave the way to create the greatest country of all time for hundreds of years come. One quote to me really describes the true vibe of this world changing gathering of the minds: John Hancock upon signing the Decleration of Independence "we must now all hang together" to which 4 eyes himself Benjamin Franklin replied "Yes, we must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall hang seperately". Simply ...

A Spooky Ghost's Halloween Edition

I am dying. As I have stated being emotionally and physically attached to the success of your football that sucks is paying its toll. The good news is if you recall about 6-7 weeks ago I said "sports are canceled until November"... Here we are on November 1 and TJ is back after the bye/the USMNT roster comes out for the WC this week.  But because last week's attempt to entertain was lacking because Mike Tomlin should be fired for not only his ineptitude in being able to run a football team and for killing me, this week is different. Upon my deathbed that I currently lay, I have been contacted by a ghost that is willing to take over for me this week.  So without further ado, I give you the Ghosts "Spooky" edition of  Week 8 Sexy Panthers power rankings. *****(Trade deadline ends week 10 just a FYI)***** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A Ghosts Mid-Season Power Rankings - Spooky Edition  Happy belated Halloween to all you fa...
