For those of you who don’t know anything about Fantasy Football, it can be a bit frustrating sometimes. This weekend I cut my tight end Tony Scheiffler of the Broncos because he is sharing time with two other guys and I signed Anthony Fasano a tight end from Miami who is becoming one of Chad Pennington’s favorite targets. Apologies for the misspelling of their names. So, Fasano gets 0 points and Tony got 18. This would have given me the win. Instead I lost by two points. It’s also maddening that every article I read said to make the same move. Oh well, better follow my gut next time.
I got this disappointing news on Saturday and needless to say I was shocked. There is not a Baptist church in the South where his songs haven’t been sung way too many times. I think “Thank You” was the song for people who found out they were doing special music when they got to church. It was the old standby. They could just wing it. Check out his site and statement here. How do we minister to people in this situation? How do we show love to them?
I also found out the Hootie and the Blowfish are taking a break. It is not supposed to be a break up, but I really regret missing their SC concert in July. The good news is they will continue to do their 4 charity concerts every year, and I’m pretty sure at least one of them is in SC. I won’t make the same mistake twice. Hootie got me through college. We had Hootie week when Fairweather Johnson was released. I had Hootie on the back of my church basketball jersey and 2 guys would yell “hootie hoo” whenever I made a three pointer(so I only got hear it a couple of times that season). I have all their CD’s and I’m looking to download some concerts from this past tour.
Clemson won Saturday. It means nothing. They should’ve crushed NC State.
The Gamecocks are now 1-2, but gave Georgia a scare.
If not for a brutally bad pass interference call against Miami to win the BCS championship several years ago, Ohio State would be ofer big games. They got dismantled by Southern Cal(USC is in Columbia, SC). They have gotten blown out in two straight BCS title games and I’m hoping people realize now that the Big Ten(though better than the ACC) is utter garbage compared to the rest of the country. Of course, I never mind seeing OSU getting blown out.
I didn’t see the blown call in the San Diego-Denver game live, but did hear Norv Turner call it “unacceptable”. Well, Norv, many people feel that your being a head coach is unacceptable as you somehow take one of the most talented teams in the NFL down the tank.
I only have one political thought for the day. People in Hollywood need to realize that every time they say something political, it turns off most of America. It’s like the elite on the coasts are completely out of touch with regular Americans. Of course, the same can be said of some well-known conservatives(many times ministers) who can’t seem to get enough of the taste of their foot. It makes me wonder if I’m looking down my nose at anybody or putting my foot in my mouth.
Have a great Monday.
