Flag Team Bullies
I teach a high school Sunday School Class. A couple of months ago, our youth minister stuck his head into my classroom and reminded the boys to sign up for his ESPN Online Fantasy Football League. A girl in my class said, “I want to play, but I don’t know how.” After class I told her to go ahead and sign up, go to the draft, get some players and I would run the team for her behind the scenes.
Since this girl is on the high school marching band flag team, I named our team the Flag Team Bullies and made the team colors pink in order to tweak the guys in the league. So far I’ve dropped and added 22 players, we’re averaging 100 points per game, and if our team had not lost a game by one stinking point, we would be 5 and 1.
Our one little football girl is creating quite a stir in our league.

I thought your player was wearing his breast cancer awareness pink equipment. Looks like a lots of the NFL players from the last couple weeks.
BTW. I would be 6-0 in my FF league if I had used the right quarterback this past week. I used Matt Hasselbeck who fizzled out at -2 points meanwhile I had Matt Schaub on the bench and he had 40 POINTS! ARGH! But my VIKES are 6-0, so it makes things OK. :-)

Last night Jeff Fisher appeared with Tony Dungy at a fundraiser here. On stage, Fisher ripped off his shirt revealing a blue #18 Manning jersey. He looked at Dungy and said, “I just wanted to feel like a winner”
Some folks here were offended by this… my, my…

Running a terror of a FFL team via a young girl… I’m liking this… I must talk to Megan and get her in a league next year.

..Doug, that’s pretty funny about Fisher in the Manning jersey. I hadn’t heard about that…
..Dan, RUN MATT SCHAUB EVERY WEEK NO MATTER WHAT! I see the Texans on a pretty regular basis because they are in the Colts division and he has a gun for an arm… maybe the best quarterback in the league nobody has ever heard of…

OK Dennis. Matt Schaub is in from now on (barring injury and bye week).
If I win my league, I’ll dedicate my trophe to you … and rip off my shirt to reveal a Dennis Jones Weasels Jersey because you are a winner!

Dan, let’s keep the clothes on here. No use scaring the small children visiting this site.

Don, I’ll keep my clothes on. And truth be told, there is no trophe for the winner of my league. :-)
And now here’s some Fisher footage:

I thought the official Weasel jersey was in fact… NO JERSEY with a big red-orange W painted on your stomach.

...people do tend to be pretty surprised when they order Weasels jerseys from us and we ship them a bottle of orange acrylic paint…
