Rapper's finger almost bitten off

Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony almost had his finger bitten off by an irate fan. The fan was apparently mad because Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's show was cancelled earlier that evening. I admire the fan's determination. He had the wherewithal to make it up to the rapper's hotel room and make it close enough to the rapper to bite his finger down to the bone.

Fantasy Football Update Week 3

In the keeper league, X-15 (3-0) narrowly defeated the Iron Toothpicks, 81.85 - 75.63. Daunte Culpepper rebounded from his craptastic performances in the first two weeks by throwing for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. Terrell Owens and Cadillac Williams also continued their stellar fantasy seasons. X-15's win streak now stands at 19 games. This week X-15 takes on HollyWood Frenzy (3-0) for sole possession of first place.

I made two trades in week 3. The first trade brought Larry Johnson over from Seven's Splash for Domanick Davis and Reggie Williams. The second trade brought Mewelde Moore from BigSchmuck for Derrick Blaylock.

In the re-draft league, The Intruders were downed by Erv's team, 98.14 - 93.00. I can't fault any of the players for the loss this week. Unfortunately, we faced LT on the week he ran for 3 touchdowns and passed for one.

Injury Report: No serious injuries reported. However, Trevor Pryce from the Denver Broncos is claiming that Priest Holmes is playing hurt. If the Pryce is right (that's for you Mr. Allen) I am very happy I made that deal for LJ last week.

I knew it!

I told you that e-mail you sent me with supposed pictures of Hurricane Katrina coming wasn't accurate. Oh by the way, Keith you were right. Those pictures of our president weren't real either.

Vote for Purdue Pete

Purdue Pete is in competition against other mascots across the nation in the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Pete lost in the second week of voting to Butch T. Cougar of Washington State. At the time of this post, Pete is trailing Bruiser of Baylor 15,444-14,966, but we have until Sunday to turn things around. Get out there and VOTE FOR PETE!
I have a secret. The site says you can only vote once a day, but if you delete your cookies after you vote you can vote as many times as you want. You didn't hear that from me.

I'm glad I'm not a nurse

Reason number five why I'm glad I'm not going to be a nurse and Angie is...tomorrow Angie has to check between her patient's rolls of fat for hidden food.

By the way, don't ask me what the first four reasons are because I don't remember. They were posted on another blog that has since been deleted.

Fantasy Football Update Week 1 & 2

I apologize for missing the fantasy update last week. I know several of you are anxiously waiting on the edge of your seats for this info.

Just like last year, I will only update you on the two leagues I care the most about. One is a keeper league where I keep every single player each year and draft the current rookies. The other is a re-draft league where I get new players each year. Last year I was the regular season champ of both leagues. I ended up winning the Super Bowl with my keeper league team. In the keeper league my team is called X-15 and in the re-draft league my team is called The Intruders.

Week 1:
In the keeper league, X-15 (1-0) won a close one over the Posse, 62.92 - 62.15. Terrell Owens gave me the win with 112 receiving yards on Monday Night Football. Daunte Culpepper tried his hardest to cost X-15 the game by throwing 3 interceptions and fumbling twice.

In the re-draft league, The Intruders (1-0) defeated the Posse, 94.05 - 72.98. That's right, I beat Matt H. in both leagues! Leading the way were Kerry Collins (26.70) and Deuce McAllister (15.45).

INJURY REPORT - Javon Walker tore up his knee in week 1. Unfortunately I had him on both teams. This loss is more devastating for The Intruders because he was the best receiver on the team.

Week 2:
In the keeper league, X-15 (2-0) won a laugher over last year's Super Bowl runner-up The Ruminators. The final score was 113.09 - 52.23. Randy Moss (12.35), Terrell Owens (19.15), Cadillac Williams (12.40), and the Bears D (27.00!) paved the way for the victory. Once again Culpepper tried to give away the game by throwing three interceptions.

In the re-draft league, The Intruders (1-1) were downed by a score of 98.78 - 79.27. The loss of Javon Walker hurt the team this week. His replacement, Lee Evans, only managed to get 0.6 points.

INJURY REPORT - Ronald Curry tore his Achilles and will miss the remainder of the season. This is the second week in a row The Intruders lost a receiver to a season-ending injury.

Celebrity

As you all know, one of the students at my school has chosen to play football at Notre Dame next season. This is a great accomplishment and I am sure his family is very proud. However, I don't think it is a valid reason to show up at the Homecoming Week kickball game and video tape him kicking a yellow rubber ball. That's right, some fat bald guy was at the game video taping every time the ND recruit got up to the plate. I can just picture this guy sitting in his living room next fall after a ND football game showing this tape to all of his buddies.

By the way, I still firmly believe that Purdue would've been a better option. Look at how great Travis Dorsch is doing now. How could anyone forget Berin Lacevic? Forget the cradle of quarterbacks, I'd call Purdue the cradle of kickers.

Another wasted draft pick

The Bears signed offensive tackle John St. Clair Tuesday and waived offensive tackle Marc Colombo. Colombo, the Bears' first-round pick in 2002 (29th overall), started seven of 18 games in an injury-plagued career with the Bears.

Sosa getting sued

Sammy is getting sued by a law firm that contends he owes more than $22,000 for work in resolving tax disputes with the IRS. According to the lawsuit, Sosa and his agent paid bills from April 2001 through last October but did not make any further payments as required once the tax cases were settled in U.S. Tax Court in December.

By the way, Sosa is currently on the DL. This season he is batting .221 with 14 homeruns and 45 RBIs. His replacement, Jeromy Burnitz, is batting .262 with 21 homeruns and 76 RBIs. Burnitz has 9 more strikeouts than Sosa, but Sammy has 150 less plate appearances.

Dell Update

A new tech came on Thursday and fixed the computer. He had no idea that the other tech had stolen from me but was not that surprised. He said that they had been looking for reason to fire the other tech for the past couple weeks because of his incompetence. Hopefully this is reason enough to give him the boot.

Dude, I just stole your processor

I have some advice for anyone who has a Dell Tech over to fix a computer...Don't leave them in a room alone with your valuables.

I made the mistake yesterday of leaving a tech alone in my workroom with several other computers, including a machine I used to image other machines. When I went to turn on my imaging machine today, it wouldn't start. After spending several minutes trying to figure out what was happening, I decided to take off the processor fan and heat sink. I was surprised to find no processor under there. Today was the first time I had ever taken off a heat sink like that so I know I didn't take the processor and forget about it. Only the principal, vice principal, and I have a key to my workroom and I'm fairly confident that they wouldn't know how to get the processor off the motherboard. I always lock the door when I am not in there so that rules out the kids. The door was left open when the Dell guy came to find me in the office, but it was 3:45 so no kids were left in the building. I am positive that this Dell guy is the only person who would've been able to take that fan and heat sink off and then put them back on again within a couple minutes. However, proving it is next to impossible. It's not that big of a deal because I have 16 computers exactly alike and one of the motherboards fried earlier this week so I just took the processor from it and put it into the motherboard with the missing processor.

The best part is that the Dell guy has to come back next week because he wasn't able to fix the computer he came to work on. I'm thinking a confrontation with me and the school police office is in the Dell guy's future.
