League Update: 8-22-2007

The league is really shaping up to be the strongest we have ever had. The Syrens, a perennial top six powerhouse from previous seasons committed to yet another season of a good ass whooping for most people from a lady. The Syrens don’t have the notoriety of other teams such as Team Smith, The Warthogs, or the Red Hot Jimmy Peppers. But they have a way of sneaking up on you each week and can very easily sleep well at night knowing she just whipped your ass. This could be the year for the Syrens as the team is still sporting over NOT throwing the final game two years ago that allowed the L-Quad Dudesters to slip into the number six seed. The Dudesters placed a good old Macho Man Randy Savage Atomic Elbow on the bracket from the 6th seed to win the league championship.

Speaking of the Dudesters, they are not in the league this year. Their coach, Quad the Bod, was hired away for a handsome sum by the Red Hot Jimmy Peppers. Quad, as always, professes this year to have the secret weapon to wipe out the league. Believe it or not, he may just have it.

The first unfortunate tragedy of the league is the Non-commitment from Team Dirkster. Coach Dickie was called this evening and during the phone call, he informed the Quad that he would not be participating in the league this year. Yes sports fans, you heard it hear first. One of the most prolific and fastest athletes this area has every known is taking a break to prepare for his long awaited wedding next Spring. Regardless, The Dirkster Dickies will be a member emeritus in this league.

The next to the last commitment comes all the way from Anchorage, Alaska as Quad and commissioner Hughes invited Quad’s brother-in-law to play. Now, more than ever, Quad is motivated. Since MQ (Mrs. Quad for those of you not familiar with other Quad Blogs) has put Quad on notice to “Not to beat her little brother,” Quad is on a mission to not just beat him, but beat him like a red headed step child. Sorry PD, but I still love ya, dude. Hell, this guy told me tonight that he rode 18 miles on a bike through the mountainous hills of Anchorage in a little over 1 hour. SHEEE-YET! That’s one bad MF’er in my book. Even though I possess and am en-tomed in a finely tuned machine at 224 pounds of twisted steal and sex appeal, 18 miles on a bike is not for the Quad, baby. Two miles on the elliptical trainer, maybe. But not 18 miles on a bike. Hell, my ass starts hurting if I have sat for an extended period of time in a cushioned chair.

Three newcomers bless our presence this year as Hor-Hey and the Jakester, two of the more prominent members of the Brotherhood, and Bad Brad from Williamsburg have joined our league. But it makes the Quad wonder: will Brad dodge the Quad in Fantasy Football like he has dodged me on the golf course? Hmmmmmm. Speaking of golf, I took Jake’s and Double-L’s money the last time we played. The feeling of finally beating Jake reminded me of a conversation I had with Hor-Hey on the way home from Dover, Delaware one time.

SHHHWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahahaha. Jake-O: I got nothing but love for you brutha! Hahahahaha

Anyway, I’ve given you the update on a few teams and will be updating you more as we get closer to the draft on the 28th. I’ll try to provide a live up-to-date draft update as we progress, but I will more than likely write the entire thing after the draft is over.
So until next time, don’t drink and drive…
