Every year I play in a fantasy football league with a bunch of friends. The guy who runs it, John is my next door neighbor and one of my best friends. He is also a Green Bay Packer fan, meaning he is going to have a really really long season.

Anyhow, our draft went off as planned on Saturday. We have fourteen guys in the league and we collaborated in a living room drinking beer and making picks for 3 hours. Our league is heavily weighted on defense on quarterbacks. I had 6th pick so that is somewhat of a tough spot. As much as I wanted the Bears defense, from that pick it might be hard to justify.

Well lucky for me, the die hard Bear fan that had 5th pick took them and made my decision even easier. This is a pretty cool league as everyone takes it quite seriously and each week there is a ton of smack talk and competition. Not too mention the winner in this league scores around $700. Last year I took 3rd place just missing the championship game. Overall I am quite pleased with my draft and I am looking forward to a big year. I am a little weak at WR, but I have the #1 Defense, #1 Quarterback, #1 Kicker...............as George Bush would say, that there is strategery!

Here is my overall draft for the 2007 MooseKnuckles Squad. Bear in mind it gets tough with 14 people and 16 rounds. And yes you read that right.....the name of my team is The MooseKnuckles.



How can I possibly go wrong with this lineup!

Monday Rants

1. Let's see what else is new for a Monday. Actually today was quite shitty for a few reasons that I'd rather not share in this blog (business related). Sometimes it just amazes me though how fucking stupid people in the online gambling industry can be. For an industry that literally rains money and turns regular people into very wealthy individuals, it never ceases to amaze me how stupidity can also run rampant.

2. My next rant is DMOZ; I have been saying that DMOZ is rubbish for years. And finally the corruption has come full circle with Shoemoney's post. I have been trying to get PAW a DMOZ listing for years however was not willing to pay for it either.

3. Kinkos faxing - The fax machine in my office is broken so I went to kinkos to send a 15 page domestic fax. It cost me just shy of $20. That's one hell of a mark-up for a .72 phone call.

4. Hostgator - If you know anything about me or my business, then I'm not going to explain.

On a more positive note though I cashed out $1000 from the PayTru Pokerstars debit card today. Holy shit, that must mean I actually won some money somewhere along the line. My buddy Ryan has also been in town the last week. He is from Vermont and a really kick ass musician. I have gotten to watch him perform a few gigs here. He is heading back to the East Coast tomorrow morning so I am going to take him out tonight and probably have a few beers. The only way my day could have a better ending would be if I come home really late from the bar and my wife is waiting up in bed for me wearing some sexy lingerie.

On that note, I am becoming delirious and it's 5:00. Time to call it a day.
