Puddy Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Was just flipping through the channels and happened to catch Mark and Meat Loaf talking fantasy football. Apparently Mark is doing better during the playoffs and he had a statement about Meat Loaf along the lines of ..."before the playoffs began he was big bad Meat Loaf, now he's more like a Steak 'Um, that gets all shriveled up."

MikesVikes Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Meat Loaf is just going for two out of three. That's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've seen Meat Loaf on the show. He's hilarious! Houshmandzadeh or is it Houshmanzandelahntapa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Meat Loaf is just going for two out of three. That's not bad. 1263408[/snapback] Nice. Meat's nuts. It's all I can do to get three words in, but he cracks me up and seems like a good dude. He did call me "Martin" initially. If he did it one more time I was going to call him Hasselhoff. We drafted teams before the playoffs -- me, Josh Elliott and Meat -- standard perf. scoring, one player from every team, can't have two players from the same team (so, if you take Peyton as your QB, you can't take Marvin as your WR, wtc.). I'm in the lead right now behind a big first game from my homer (or as some would say, momo) boy Brady and Steve Smith. Have Hass, Marvin, Anderson, Jones chipping in this weekend. I don't care if I don't beat Josh, but I want to beat the Meat! Wow. That sounded bad. Edited January 13, 2006 by msaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 So I'm still not sure what channel this show is on, is it a weekly show?....one time? Is it like a celebrity draft thingy?....what all does it entail and how come Meat Loaf always seems to be brought up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I like Meat Loaf. It's amazing how he has been able to hang around on the fringes of celebrity for so long. I think it's the catchy name. I tried to break into show biz once, but I guess "Pot Roast" just didn't have the same mass appeal that Meat Loaf has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every night 7-8pm, re-broadcast at 11pm, 2am, 4am, etc etc....Meat is mentioned so much because he and I (mostly him, but I've done several segments with him) have been the show's "fantasy guys." He plays in like 25 leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I hadn't actually FINISHED a book since college. Guess that's a tribute to your work, and a knock on my lack of reading. I look forward to it. 1263861[/snapback] Ditto.

That was the latest, anyway. Not fantastic considering 45 BILLION people play fantasy football. We got dicked on a couple good publicity opportunities early on which might have helped push it up, but it's not all bad considering some books sell literally 100 copies. Gotta start somewhere...
