I really liked the careerbuilder trilogy. I thought there was some really clever and funny use of office supplies, and they were really well made overall.

Thanks Vet! I take it from your avatar you are a Jets fan. So - J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

Can someone from NE answer a question for me and my son? What are those designs at the 50 yard line outside the numbers? Looks like a wrench, or a building? This is really bugging us that we cant make heads or tails of what it is. If some PATS fan can help us out here - we promise to root for the PATS the rest of the game, sending positive mojo from the Pacific NorthWest.

Monsters of the Midriff was a pretty good one in my league.

Before the internet, our commish would send us all the schedules for the year a few months before the season. He had a master schedule that he always used, and just swapped team one from last year for team one for this year etc. to make the current years schedule. Well one year I noticed that this was not the case, and wondered why he would go to the trouble of writing up a new schedule. Then I noticed (we had a keeper league) that he arranged it so that his team played each team on the week that their best player was on a bye week. We ALL quit and formed a new league without him, and that league is still together 14 years later.

God - You're right. I am so screwed. All I was able to pick up in the later rounds was water chesnuts and a couple of beef bouillon cubes. I open week one against Smoked Salmon with Pinapple Chutney, Steamed Broccoli and a Cinnamon Apple Crisp. It is going to be a long long season. If only I had asked you guys sooner.

You guys are right. Everyone else went Meat-meat-snackfood. My reaching for Asparagus has left me with only Ostrich and Beef-a-lo for my second meat.

Meat: Steak 1:1 Dairy: 3:1 Feta Cheese Vegetable: Asparagus Spears 2:12 Snack Foods: 4:12: Chocolate Milk I was lucky enough to have the first pick – so I went with the obvious choice. Steak. It has always delivered the pleasure per dollar year-in and year-out, and I see no reason why it should not repeat its performance. After the long wait, and a run on vegetables (carrots, green beans and snap peas were all already taken), I decided to take Asparagus Spears with my 2:12. A safe choice, but with little upside. I immediately turned around and took Feta Cheese for my Dairy at 3:1. I expected, and received, much laughter and ribbing for this one – but what can I say – I just got a feeling this is going to be a huge year for this overlooked Dairy product. With my 4:12 I went with Chocolate Milk for my Snack Food (yes, Cheese-Its were already gone) I just feel that CM’s versatility to score both as a Snack Food and as Dairy made it a reasonable choice here. So what do you think so far? And do you think I should go Vegetable again in round five?

If many QB's will throw at least 20 TD's - then why draft one in the first round? Supply and demand says you wait.

Funniest thing about this pick is later in the 11th round he picks up Gado - and posts this as a comment: "Not thirlled about my Running Backs" Um, yeah . . . thanks "expert"

That's very true Chavez - but it only works if you use different tactics every now and then. You know - the whole "boy who cried wolf" thing. The "whaaaaat" guy is only doing it due to the misconceived notion that it makes him look smart.

Anyone else have a "Whaaaaat?" guy? No matter who you pick - he looks at you incredulously and yells "Whaaaaat?!? - don't you know he sprained his ankle/gets pulled at the goal line/is on a short leash?" He will say this regardless if you drafted this person in a very very late round or not.

Over the years, my wife has become a huge NFL fan. She just watches differently than I do. I like to watch the strategy, the patterns, etc. She likes the "soap opera" part of the game. "T.O. = Bad; Favre fighting old age etc." Not sure though that you can "make" someone like it though, if she likes it, she'll watch it, if not - she wont. The trick would be to support her in whatever totally irrational thing makes her happy, so she can support you in your irrational love of the NFL.
