    Enough with the boobs, polo shirts, towels and the fact that Ragu smells.

    Can we focus on what's important here? The football?

    Who's everyone's sleeper pick this year?

    And no, Ricky, LT doesn't count as a sleeper.

    From the sounds of things around here, I think you're definitely a candidate to be a sleeper this fall. It sounds like you might score 15, 20 times.

    It's OK, Ricky. Give yourself another 5 years and I'm sure you can get to 15 or 20.

    Oh, now Ricky is turning into a jealous pathetitard.

    It's OK Ricky. One day you won't be a loser.

    With my current count and age, I'd say you're overestimating. I'd say it'd take another 30-40 years to get there.

    But thanks. ... I think?

    Can dish it, but can't take it, Carrie?

    OK. Let's focus on the football. You, IJAG and me. Which one of us could recognize a Wing T or a West Coast offense, explain it and even diagram plays? Which one of us can explain how the Cover 2 works in its various forms, right down to the underneath zones or the coverage responsibilities if you are playing man under? Which one of us knows different moves--rip, arm-over, etc.--that a split end might use to release against a DB playing press coverage?

    Maybe there should be a test of general football knowledge to weed out the posers (and the dingy chicks).

    Who the fuck cares about a Cover 2 in fantasy football?

    To answer an earlier question, I think a couple rehabbing Browns could be sleepers: Winslow and Edwards. That offense is suddenly good, despite Bentley going down.

    Chester Taylor in Minnesota.

    Philip Rivers.

    Your thoughts, Ms. Bradshaw?

    <sigh> ... Sadly, I'm not sure this can be made funnier by having fun with the quote function.

    Wait.

    I was wrong. :D

    I'm glad you read "Football for Dummies" Ragu. That's impressive.

    The only thing I care about is who does the best celebration dance when their player scores a touchdown over 50 yards. Or who trash talks the best when their QB throws for 450 yards and six TDs (and runs one in).

    You can go back to your little hole and make up mythic plays for your pretend West Coast offense while the rest of us enjoy watching football and cheering for our players.
