                Pickled Milkmen to 
                Defend FAFA Crown

                Charlotte, 
                NC---Sitting alone in the locker room, GM Dodez makes a bold prediction: 
                "I think we have a chance to repeat this year."  
                 
                Though not unusual to hear that kind of talk from a defending 
                champion, the situation for the Pickled Milkmen is different. 
                With no returning starters (or backups) due to a terrible offseason 
                that saw every single player leave because of free agency, the 
                Milkmen really only have one advantage: Their enigmatic GM.  
                 
                Without knowing his draft order, or even what players he will 
                have on his team, GM Dodez still contends that the new look Milkmen 
                will be the team to beat.  
                 
                "Once we get a quarterback, some running backs, wide receivers, 
                a tight end, kicker, and defense in here, I know we are going 
                to be incredible. I even know the drills we are going to run and 
                what the players are going to eat. Of course, the players will 
                need to be fitted for uniforms first and shown which locker is 
                theirs and then learn the playbook...but I'll be damned if I don't 
                think we have the best team in the league."  
                 
                And with that, Coach Dodez looked around the still empty locker 
                room and grinned.  
                 
                It was time for football season to begin... |

                  The fate 
                  of the Sloppy Joe's season rests solely in the hands of GM Niet 
                  Newlove's pre-draft rankings this year. Due to the ridiculously 
                  early draft time on a Wednesday, the GM will be unable to attend 
                  the draft. While he thinks this may constitute a case of collusion 
                  on the part of Pouch Mouse GM/Commish Randall Shark McDaniel, 
                  Niet says, "This is just another hurdle to jump in the world 
                  of the notorius Shark, I just hope he straightens up his act 
                  for the regular season."  
                  For the rest of those GM's who work past 5:30...good luck and 
                  god-speed. |

                |   GM Neil Gearhart 
                  announces Friday early afternoon that he believes his free-agent 
                  moves will put the Pipe-Layers in contention for a vital victory 
                  in week one and put the balls in Murray's mouth. During the 
                  press conference held in the Xerox building dowtown Phoenix 
                  over a power lunch Gearhart also announces a threat to move 
                  the team back to the badlands of NW/Central Ohio or another 
                  location in the tri-state area to be disclosed later. He sees 
                  the failing economy and lay-offs at his biggest supporter Aerotek, 
                  Inc. as a huge deterrent to fan support. Gearhart would only 
                  further comment that a decision to move will happen no later 
                  than week 4. The job market he further added will depict where 
                  the Pipe-Layers will set up shop. |

                  'Easy' Ed is out

                  (AP) It is 
                  a somber day in the Coleman locker room today. Spiritual leader 
                  Ed McCaffrey has been lost for the season w/ a broken leg.  
                  "I don't know how it happened. One second he is making a one-handed 
                  grab, the next his leg is flopping around like Patrick Ewings' 
                  man-meat in the Gold Club," Donovan McNabb was quoted as saying. 
                   
                  GM Regis made a futile attempt to pick up Ed's hand-picked back-up 
                  Eddie Kennison, but he was stolen by rival Sloppy Joe's. As 
                  Regis attempted to snag Eddie from waivers his internet errored 
                  out and shut down. Once logged back in Eddie was gone.  
                  "It's all good though," said Regis, "last year we lost both 
                  Michael Westbrook and Joey Galloway and still came in second 
                  place. We'll find a way....we always do."  |

                  Bowling Green, 
                  OH (AP)- As he noted in the final round of the recent FAFA draft, 
                  Sloppy Joe's GM Niet Newlove feels that he has pulled off the 
                  steal of the draft. With the recent ruling by a league arbitrator 
                  allowing WR Terry Glenn to resume playing in week 5, the Joe's 
                  could become a threat by seasons end. "Along with our recent 
                  free agent acquisitions of Ty Detmer and Eddie Kennison, as 
                  well as the news on Terry Glenn, we feel our late season could 
                  be a positive one", claims Newlove.  
                  With the addition of a decent running game, this could be a 
                  team to be reckoned with in the near future.  |

                |   Bowling Green, 
                  Ohio (AP) How important is a quarterback? Or for that matter 
                  why would one need a running game. The Right Balls for sure 
                  don't need one as proven by there ass kicking of arch-rival 
                  pouch mouse. "Hell, who needs the towers when one has Bruce 
                  and Boston in the slots, hell, thats all yeah need." proclaimed 
                  Balls GM Murray B. "Bring 'em all on, shit I had 3 td's sittin' 
                  the bench, thats how confident I was, I might not play a QB 
                  at all the rest of the season, seein' that I don't really need 
                  one. By the way, I've sent Anthony "Root Beer" Wright to the 
                  Afgan Rebels to help our boys bring home the head of Osami, 
                  that son of a bitch is gonna be strung up at halftime of our 
                  homecoming game. And of course, i'm sparing no expense to make 
                  sure it's the grandest show of all time, with performances by 
                  N'SYNC and the New Kids on the Block, minus Donny as he's currently 
                  on the front lines in Germany with his new Band of Brothers." 
                  It sounds like a party to end all party's.  |

                  Davie, Fl 
                  (PMUSA) - Pouch Mouse USA coach/GM/owner Shark stormed off the 
                  field during the fourth quarter of their game against the lowly 
                  Sloppy Joes and was found banging his head against the lockers. 
                  A pair of needle-nose pliers and bloody teeth were found nearby, 
                  and he was screaming:  
                   
                  "C'mon Tyler, you wanna fight. Priest ain't nothin, Priest ain't 
                  nothin! C'mon Durden, don't be a pansy. Why! Why! Why...."  
                   
                  Apparently Shark decided to bench Priest Holmes in favor of 
                  Stephen Davis, just minutes before kickoff. Priest responded 
                  with a flurry of TDs, running with shades of the legendary two-step 
                  of Bronco Nagarski. Davis did not score, along with the rest 
                  of the Mouse squad. The Joes had pleaded with the Pouch for 
                  an extra RB, but the Mice said no and are licking their chops 
                  in anguish 'bout now.  
                   
                  Rumor has it that Shark will be replaced as coach for the remainder 
                  of the season, but retain his GM duties. Names on the short 
                  list include Scott "Chumlee" Young, the former lead singer of 
                  ska band "Madness", and middleweight champ Bernard "Rice and 
                  Beans" Hopkins. Word has also leaked that they have been trying 
                  to reach an agreement with former FAFA legend Nipsy Russell, 
                  but those rumors have gone unsubstaniated at this time.  
                   
                  None on the list were available for comment at time of press. 
                  Including Nipsy. |

                  Times are 
                  tough in the land of Balls this season. Off to the worst start 
                  in franchise history and still looking for a running game It 
                  might be time to hang it up say some. But not to long-time Balls 
                  supporter Beano Cook it sure as heck ain't. "They might not 
                  be pretty on the field, but they got the best media buffet in 
                  FAFA, Blaarpp!" declared Beano on sunday. It is true that the 
                  steak and shrimp is a welcome surprise, as compared to the weiners 
                  and mac casserole served by the Beav.  
                   
                  "As the most popular franchise in all of FAFA history, we find 
                  it neccessary to put forth more effort in the little details 
                  then other teams." insisted Balls GM Murray B. And Beano couldn't 
                  agree more.  
                   
                  "Blaarp, they are a great franchise and I think they well...hey 
                  is that tuna melt? Excuse me, oh yeah, It ain't over"  
                   
                  Unfortunatly Beano did not make it to the tuna melt as he fainted 
                  from his necktie being tied way to tight. |

                  Sloppy Joe's 
                  GM/coach/owner Niet Newlove is showing signs of calming down 
                  after his team's lambasting of the Pouch Mouse this week. "We 
                  finally have a running game, and our receiving corps is simply 
                  one of the best young crews in the league."  
                   
                  There seems to be less of pressing need for the Joe's to find 
                  that RB of fantasy dreams now that Pittman is no longer molesting 
                  his wife.  
                   
                  No more chance to rip off Gonzo or any of the other big boys 
                  from the Joe's anymore...wasted opportunites from the FAFA GM's. |

                  If there 
                  is a week when the Pounders can beat Pouch Mouse USA, this is 
                  it. GM Pounder keeps saying that to himself, and damnit I think 
                  he will finally break the most frustrating jink in fantasy sports 
                  history. While this writer can't find any proof, the streak 
                  of consecutive losses in fantasy sports could be years. Yes, 
                  years. Tired from coaching his fantasy baseball team to the 
                  championship round, GM Pounders will be taking the next 2 days 
                  to sleep and be re-freshed for year of FAFA. Always known as 
                  the best GM for evaluating fantasy sports talent, Pounders has 
                  never seem to cash in to win any league's championship. All 
                  can be changed and breaking this jink with fellow Mouse team 
                  will be a sure sign that this is the year of the FAFA Slam Pounders. 
                   
                   
                  Sporting a 1-2 record in this young FAFA season, Shark Mouse 
                  team could be the worst talent that this master GM has ever 
                  put on a fantasy league. Strong words, maybe. But this Mouse 
                  team doesn't have a legit star throughout the roster. If his 
                  team does loss to the Pounders look for re-assembling of talent 
                  throughout his team. GM Murray and GM Faygo could be getting 
                  phone calls. While this is pure speculation, rumor has it GM 
                  Shark is offering 1st place prize cash to these 2 GMs for impact 
                  players. BABA league officals are currently conducting an investigation 
                  on whether GM Murray and GM Faygo have taken cash for their 
                  best baseball players. Phone lines have been tapped, emails 
                  have been taken from the GM Shark's inbox, and will be used 
                  in this investigation.  
                   
                  The 2001 FAFA season is long, but with a win over the Pouch 
                  Mouse USA squad this will put the Slam Pounders in good position. 
                   
                   
                  This writer's predicted score:

                  Smith: "94.2% Sure" 
                  He'll be Back 
                  by: PCHS-PigskinSquad  |

                  San Jose, 
                  CA- PCHS-PigskinSquad GM/Owner Dean "Bravo" Smith is now "94.2 
                  percent sure" that he will end his "semi-retirement" and return 
                  to the field this weekend. In a statement released by the team 
                  today, Smith announced that he had "an itch that needed scratching" 
                  and that he "still had something to give roto sports."  
                   
                  Smith had turned over operations of PCHS-DiamondBunch to Johnny 
                  Bench and the Famous Chicken in May. The move was a disastrous 
                  one, as Bench complained of not having Smith's internet passwords- 
                  which the baseball Hall-of-Famer claimed prevented any roster 
                  movement- and that the Chicken "acted too goofy... like f***ing 
                  Don Shields." Bench left last month to concentrate on his virtual 
                  waterseal spokesperson e-business. The Chicken was last seen 
                  at a child's birthday party six weeks ago in Provo, Utah.  
                   
                  Smith's announcement was hardly a shock as he had told sources 
                  close to him as late as last week that he was "about 91.8% sure" 
                  he'd return in time for the PigskinSquad-Pickled Milkmen game. 
                  Still, roto expert Morris Schneider maintains that Smith's near-decision 
                  is big news for PCHS fans.  
                   
                  "There is a huge, huge difference between 94.2 percent and 91.8 
                  percent. If this scenario played itself out one hundred times, 
                  then he would NOT return roughly two and a half times MORE." 
                   
                   
                  In an ESPN.com internet poll, 63.1% of the fans voted that they 
                  would be more likely to follow the FAFA more if Smith were to 
                  return, 24% voted they would follow it less, and 12.9% wrote 
                  in that Murray Beaverson's new HAHA team name should be either

                  CHARLESTON, SC Washington Redskins defensive 
              end D'Aundré Banks gave "all thanks and praise to my personal Lord 
              and Savior Jesus Christ" Monday for giving him the strength he needed 
              to fatally stab bouncer Isaac Edmonds and ex-girlfriend Pamela Hamilton 
              outside a Charleston nightclub early Sunday morning.

                  "All glory to Jesus," the 25-year-old Banks, 
              who attended the University of South Carolina, told reporters from 
              his cell in the Charleston County Jail. "He is with me in this dark 
              hour, as He was in our devastating 14-13 playoff loss to the Buccaneers. 
              His love will see me through this."  
                  According to police reports, at approximately 
              2:30 a.m., a visibly intoxicated Banks became involved in an altercation 
              with Edmonds regarding who would accompany Hamilton home. When Edmonds 
              attempted to restrain Banks, the 288-pound devout Christian produced 
              a knife and stabbed Edmonds and Hamilton repeatedly. He then fled 
              to the home of girlfriend and Hooters waitress Lisa Nolan in nearby 
              Summerville, where police arrested him several hours later.  
                  "First off, I'd like to say 'great job' to 
              Isaac and Pamela, who put up a heck of a fight and have nothing 
              to be ashamed of," Banks said. "They were terrific opponents, and 
              it's too bad somebody had to lose a life. But the Lord Jesus Christ 
              was truly with me Saturday night. He guided my hand when I was able 
              to make that big hit on Isaac, and I really felt His presence when 
              I stepped up and made that great slashing cut to bring Pamela down 
              from behind."  
                  Added Banks: "Jesus really let me take this 
              homicide to the next level. Thank you, Jesus!"  
                  Banks, who has been charged with two counts 
              of first-degree murder, has been a devout born-again Christian ever 
              since his hot-tub baptism at the hands of Philadelphia Eagles wide 
              receiver and ordained minister Irving Fryar during Pro Bowl week 
              in 1997.  
                  "I was a mess before Jesus took my hand," 
              Banks said. "At South Carolina, I'd show up late to practice, stay 
              out late running around with the wrong crowd, all kinds of bad things. 
              I was about to squander the precious gift of football God blessed 
              me with. But through His grace, I was drafted in the fourth round 
              and sent to the NFL to meet Rev. Fryar, who showed me that Jesus 
              wanted me to glorify Him and play on His team."

                  Continued Banks: "D'Aundré Banks' life would 
              be nothing without Christ's faith. Without His peace and love, D'Aundré 
              Banks never would have gotten his time in the 40 down to 4.6 for 
              the 1995 NFL scouting combines, and he never would have had the 
              strength to turn a big guy like Isaac Edmonds around with just one 
              arm and stab him."  
                  Jeff Rosenzweig, Banks' Miami-based agent 
              and manager, said his client has been unfairly represented by the 
              media in its coverage of the double homicide.  
                  "All the papers are branding D'Aundré a murderer, 
              as if that's all there is to him," Rosenzweig said. "But in their 
              mad rush to demonize D'Aundré, they neglect to mention his deep 
              dedication to the D'Aundré Banks Helps Kids Tackle Drugs For A Loss 
              Foundation and the Big 98 Safety In The End Zone Safe House For 
              Women. Or, for that matter, that he acknowledges the workings of 
              Christ in his everyday life. No, you don't see any of those things 
              mentioned in the articles about him. It's all 'homicide this' and 
              'seven-inch stab wound that.'"  
                  Banks, whose preliminary hearing is scheduled 
              for Feb. 22 in Charleston County Court, said his fate is in Christ's 
              hands.  
                  "I don't know what will happen to me. That's 
              up to the Lord," Banks said. "The Bible tells us that nothing is 
              done on this Earth but that is done through God. No multimillion-dollar 
              contract extension, no game-saving interception, no acquittal on 
              both counts of first-degree murder happens without Him."

                  Not since 
                  the great cookie dough war of '82 has the world seen a rivalry 
                  such as this. The despised Mice from Pouch take on the fan favorites 
                  from Sheboygan, the Cheddar-Best in this week's premier matchup. 
                   
                   
                  Long-time friend of both and Nickname Guru JB Craws (of Gearhart 
                  Plumbing and Pipe Laying fame) captured the importance of the 
                  game in one simple beat, "If Mabes is gonna get schtooked tonight, 
                  he's gonna need an unfalcon believable game against Sneek's 
                  and his Mice."  
                   
                  Craws went on to add, "If L'Oreal is prestigous enough to be 
                  a facilitator in the Kingdom of the Bear, he's gotta roll with 
                  Nino Brown and his Pounders. Bravo is currently the King of 
                  a lavish Kingdom of the Bear in San Jose, and hater of the Carrot-top.

                  Alas, one commentator went so far as to bet his third child 
                  on the Mice, even throwing in his 1975 Merlin Olsen WonderBread 
                  collector's cards too.

                  Even though 
                  his team is off to its best start even at 5-1, the Slam Pounders 
                  made a surpising move by calling up their practice squad to 
                  face a struggling Sloppy Joes franchise.  
                   
                  For reasons unknown, the Pounders GM decided to bench starter 
                  Brett Farve and replace him with Rob Johnson. Also they have 
                  decided to rest Marshall Faulk and his ailing knee and replace 
                  him with the man who is only wanted to be known as "Trung." 
                   
                   
                  The moves don't stop there. Skilled GM Slam decided to activate 
                  and start rookie WR David Terrell and pick up a nobody named 
                  Randy Jordan and start him. When asked why all the moves and 
                  during this week, Pounders said "it is a favor to fellow GM 
                  Niet. He has been so nice to me for years, why not give him 
                  a chance to make the playoffs. Hell, I remember when we were 
                  back in college and I was in the passenger side of his car thinking 
                  that we were going to run off the road and hit muliple trees. 
                  I still laugh about that moment."  
                   
                  For whatever reason, GM Slam is confident about his team and 
                  maybe his players will respond to the call ups. Then again, 
                  he could be resting his team for the matchup of the year against 
                  the Implants next weekend. |

                |   Taking a 
                  page from the book of ex-HAHA GM James Nester, Dave "Slam" Duncan 
                  has sunk to the level of cheapest GM in the league. With comments 
                  concerning the Joe's franchise that hit below the belt, Sloppy 
                  RB Jamel White had the following to say, "Shit dog, I's in the 
                  lineup dis week an I ain even gonna play, just ta show dat muthafucka 
                  what kinda bitch he is!" GM Niet Newlove had this to say, "The 
                  Pounder claims to play a "no-name" in Randy Jordan, well you 
                  just take a look at the most random squad of gypsies in the 
                  league as they stomp all over your ass this week. We pride ourselves 
                  in over-achieving, and that is what we will do again this week, 
                  with one RB." Unfortunately, another bitter rivalry seems to 
                  be forming in the once kinder FAFA league.  |

                  (TRANSCRIPT) 
                   
                  Miller: You must be feeling pretty good w/ your team riding 
                  a 4 game winning streak?  
                  Regis: I'm feeling great. Watching the amazing comeback this 
                  week really put a tickle in my yam sack. The guys are really 
                  coming together. Our defense has been stellar.  
                  Miller: The play from your RBs has been solid in recent weeks. 
                   
                  Regis: One word....'Da Bus'.....guess that's two words. Bettis 
                  has been the heart and soul of the squad the past 2 years. He's 
                  racking yardage like Andruw Jones racks up BJs at the Gold Club. 
                   
                  Miller: Right.....Were you surprised that you were able to land 
                  Bettis again this year?  
                  Regis: I was a little surprised. He was very high on our draft 
                  chart, but I couldn't take him w/ the 1st or 2nd round pick. 
                  We couldn't pass up Owens and McNabb with those 2 picks, but 
                  when he fell to us at 41 we were ecstatic.  
                  Miller: Rumor has it that you were mocked and ridiculed for 
                  taking him that high.  
                  Regis: True, true. He had an excellent workout for us and the 
                  other GMs just didn't believe in his ability like we did. They 
                  did mock me and they did laugh, but who's laughing now? How 
                  you like me now biatches!?!?!?! UH!!!!!! Second place, whores!!!!!!! 
                   
                  Miller: I see....well you seem confident in your teams' abilities? 
                   
                  Regis: This team is coming together like no other team that 
                  I've had the pleasure of being associated with. We have had 
                  fairly solid QB play w/ McNabb and Weinke, a tight running game 
                  w/ Bettis, Henry and Alstott; Owens, Ward and McCardell at receiver. 
                  And that D....that tenacious D. We're shutting people down w/ 
                  our 'bitch-slap that ho, take-no-shit-no-mo, base Three-Fo', 
                  biatch!!!!  
                  Miller: You seem to like reference 'whores' and 'biatches'? 
                   
                  Regis: We'll I'm not from the 'hood' per se, but when you hang 
                  around our team namesake enough, Mr. Coleman himself, you begin 
                  to pick up on some of his jibber-jabber.  
                  Miller: Now that sounds a little more like Mr. T than Gary Coleman? 
                   
                  Regis: Yeah, well, Gary and 'T' are tight. Gary even shaved 
                  his 'fro into the classic Mr. T mohawk. 'T' calls him 'Minnie-T'. 
                  They're so cute together.  
                  Miller: Sure I could see that. I want to do a word association 
                  with you  
                  Regis: Okay.  
                  Miller: Commissioner Shark.  
                  Regis: Jobless whore who's working the unemployment line like 
                  it's his own personal sugar daddy.  
                  Miller: GM Hortense.  
                  Regis: Same as Shark.  
                  Miller: Bravo.  
                  Regis: Underrated.  
                  Miller: Beav  
                  Regis: Pimp. Don't count him out yet.  
                  Miller: MadMex  
                  Regis: Quality GM considering his situation. He's running the 
                  team out of his 2 bedroom apartment he shares with 3 brothers, 
                  5 cousins, 12 children, his grandmother, 4 chickens, 2 donkeys 
                  and a goat.  
                  Miller: Thanks for joining us today Regis.  
                  Regis: Any time G-Money.  
                  Miller: Join us tomorrow with guest Scottie Pippen. Scottie 
                  will talk about how MJ both created and destroyed his career. 
                  Goodnight. |

                  Bowling Green--(AP) 
                  Via fax earlier today, Aaron Kale, GM and president of the Yogurt 
                  Slingers, announced that the Slinger franchise will be moving 
                  an unprecedented fourth time this year to Columbus, Ohio. After 
                  beginning the season in Scottsdale, Arizona, moving to Austin, 
                  Texas a couple of weeks into the season and then moving operations 
                  back to Bowling Green, Ohio the team has plans in the making 
                  to move things down to the capital city of Ohio.  
                  "Despite the points we put up on the board each and every week 
                  and the wins that have been coming along with those points, 
                  attendance is down this year. We are in need of a change of 
                  scenery. We will be playing the remainder of our home games 
                  in the backyard of Holtz's (Mike) lot."  
                  Also of note, the Slingers will also be changing their uniforms 
                  with the move, making their 9th uniform change of the season. 
                  This weeks uniforms will be a "throwback replica" from their 
                  dismal days back in the first year of the franchise (2000). 
                   
                  "Looking ahead, I just hope that teams will be prepared for 
                  us. You look at some of the lopsided wins we have had this year 
                  and you just can't get people in the stands with the lack of 
                  competition. We are expected to win. We don't even get Summerall 
                  and Madden to announce our games anymore! In an attempt to keep 
                  the game close with the Slam Pounders, we have decided to give 
                  the weekend off to fantasy MVP, Curtis Martin."  
                  Hopefully the Slam Pounders will respond, or perhaps another 
                  move for the nomads of FAFA will be in their near future. |

                  And Ricky 
                  Williams scores for the Mice! 2 weeks to go boys, and the Pounders 
                  are just waiting for a way to lose this thing. On another note, 
                  rumors are circulating about "inverse contraction" for the FAFA 
                  next year, with an expansion of the player pool, divisions, 
                  and championship dollars at the same low, FAFA fee. Details 
                  forthcoming in a Selig-esque announcement immediately following 
                  the FAFA Bowl.

            i'm expecting the 19-Cent Team to bench Ahman Green tomorrow night 
            as a goodwill gesture, or you might find a hot dog in your hand next

            I was just a little worried that I might lose the first playoff game 
            to the Right Balls or 19 Cent Team and get screwed. Notice that I 
            didn't mention your team, shark. No worries about your team. Bunch 
            of underachievers. Of course that $300 is not really $300 because 
            some of you clowns have not paid yet! Bump up their dues and throw 
            it in the pot.

            calm it hounder! the last two years i've won the regular season, only 
            to get punked in the playoffs. this year will be the exact opposite. 
            i'ma pull a Dodez on you and take my 8th place Mice and run the ball 
            to a championship. 
             
            the mice are indeed a bunch of underachievers...that's bound to change 
            come the playoffs...we're longggg overdue...they just need to score! 
            look at that backfield: R Williams, P Holmes, S Davis, T Owens. DYNOMITE! 
            check it: mice score 63 points last week without scoring or passing 
            for a TD! that's been the same old song every week, and i hate to 
            be the jigga playing me in Round 1. 
             
            cheese me,

            So some guy says takeo spikes is about as good as ray lewis? why would 
            anyone be upset about that? I'm just confused. The guy didn't say 
            Ray you suck, he just said some other guys really good. I don't know 
            why the murderer is pissed, and i don't know why its a lead story 
            on ESPNEWS. anybody fill me in?

            Basically Ray Lewis is a big pile of sh*t and my Pittsburgh Steelers 
            are going to wail on those Baltimore B*astards this weekend. He's 
            scared and he has nothing else to get him pumped up except some misinterpreted 
            comment by Bettis. He should be sitting in jail rotting away getting 
            butt-humped by O.J. Screw Lewis, screw Sharpe and screw that fat tub 
            of sh*t Siragusa. Telling Raven fans to jump Steeler fans in the bathroom. 
            Absurd. I hope that b*stard gets a good helmet-to-nuts this weekend. 
            Peace, I'm out. Regis GO STEELERS!!!!

                  Really sucks 
                  to be an even numbered seed this year.  
                  #'s 2, 4, 6, 8 lost while the odd-balls 1, 3, 5, 7 won. F'n 
                  bastards.  
                  Just an observation.

                  Well at least I have the Steelers to keep me going.

                  At least that's what a local auto dealer expects.  
                   
                  No, Slam is not giving me buck naked massages for my benching 
                  of Ricky Williams on the final Saints drive. He's giving holiday 
                  head for the next three seasons.  
                   
                  Good to see some smack fly, even by a non-playoff team. Thanks, 
                  Niet, keep up the good work.  
                   
                  Now that the even-stevens lost in the first round, how do you 
                  predict the second round, Gary Coleman? i say the body parts 
                  lose (bye bye Implants and Right Balls).  
                   
                  I should have not started MarTay Jenkins like I was going to, 
                  but forgot there were Saturday games til it was too late. You 
                  can't argue with that best name.  
                   
                  John Rocker is a Ranger...why wasn't he down there in the first 
                  place? Is the state big enough for Him, Carl Everett, ARod, 
                  Bobby Knight, and Hank Hill? Ask Boomhauer...  |

              I'm back from my free vacation, thanks to FAFA and my first championship 
              played in that great city of Cleveland, Ohio. I had the option of 
              deciding where I wanted to coach and have my players play the "Super 
              Bowl" of FAFA. What a better place to win than in Cleveland, since 
              I am so liked by those Browns/Indian fans! This photo was taken 
              as me and my team left the field, taunting and congratulating all 
              you Cleveland fans! Rumor has it Andy Newlove was right behind this 
              person.
