In a Blaze of Glory
By briantologist | September 19, 2004
Goddammit. My one-game winning streak ended tonight in ignonimous defeat at the hands of Max Power’s fantasy football team, “Grubby the Child of Small Fat Quality.*”
Eh. It was a good run. And on the plus side, I got a piece of spam today from somebody who claimed their name was “Puma S. Compliance.” So, y’know. It all balances out.
What’s the S for?

* — Originally Mr. Power’s team was called The Grubby Little Fat Kids, named after one pivotal photograph he and The Cheat came across one evening at work. Then one day a particularly brilliant friend of ours ran Power’s team name through a Japanese translator, then translated the translation back to English. Deciding between the two names became a matter of choosing phenomenal over simply great.

At least you get Clayton on Curtis Martin’s bye week, although the Todd Heap Tragedy is on the level of Week One’s Steve Smith Debacle.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. I’m praying to god Collington doesn’t have a waiver claim on the reasonably decent-looking tight end I’ve got my eye on, or else things will continue to slide downhill. Pray for Mojo. And thank heavens for the IR spot.

Whoa. That was like another language.

True dat. And Jesus, it is absolutely impossible to refer to a Tight End (the football position) without immediately devolving into unbelievable inadvertent homoeroticism.

On behalf of your Baltimore readers, I can assure you we are all far too mature to snicker in a puerile fashion at that and other homoerotic football terms…

One time, I swear to god, one announcer referred to what he termed “a tight red zone.” I think we renamed our fantasy league “The Tight Red Zone” after that.

Boomer Esiason, on the radio, during last year’s playoffs, Packers-Eagles: “The Eagles are moving the ball well, but they’re having trouble scoring down in the tight red zone.”
We immediately executed the re-name, and it’s still the honorary title of the league.

No doubt they finally did score, in a ferocious come-from-behind?
