Fantasy Friday: Week 2 Preview

by Patrick on September 12, 2008

I’ve already talked about perhaps the most devastating injury in the NFL this year ever, but you can help but notice all the other names that made the injury lists: Vince Young is suffering an MCL sprain and general lack of will to play. Marion Barber has something wrong with his ribs. Dallas Clark hurt [...]

Last week I started my search for a Third Place with a trip up to Shirlington where there was a Busboys & Poets. I actually didn’t know exactly where it was so I just headed down to the Village At Shirlington- I mean everything else is there. I walked around and while I was wondering [...]

Rebecca’s Wedding Round 2

by Patrick on September 10, 2008

This is probably the story I’ll be telling my friends for the next week or two. That’s what happens when you go on a weekend of destruction. It’s been so destructive it’s taken me a week to recover and blog about it. I didn’t plan on drinking for three straight nights but it was going [...]

My Car Has Illegitimate Kids

Fantasy Friday: Ocho Cinco Time!

by Patrick on September 5, 2008

His name is no longer Chad Johnson. It’s Ocho Cinco. The wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals has legally changed his last name from Johnson to Ocho Cinco- his nickname that he conceived in 2006 during the this talk with the press (I highly suggest you listen to entire 8+ minutes- it’s great stuff.) Back [...]

I thought I joined too many leagues in baseball this year when I had three going on. Apparently I don’t learn from my mistakes. I was ok with just two Fantasy Football leagues but when I got back from my trip this weekend I get a text from LJ: “You wanna play in our fantasy [...]

More DNC Thoughts

by Patrick on September 3, 2008

The Republican National Convention is well underway however I wanted to take a quick moment to write out some thoughts I had on the speeches of the Democratic National Convention. First thing I noticed while watching the convention with my family was how the front rows always had the most relevant signs in hand for [...]
