It was premier week on network shows this week with 16 new shows ready to debut. And after watching a couple and reading the reviews I can say that the future looks bleak for most, if not all of them. The only show I saw that had potential was Fox's Lone Star. Good young actor, couple of hot chicks on the side, decent plot: I could see that going somewhere. Too bad the ratings were horrible and I would be shocked to see if go more than 13 episodes. A couple of returning shows debuted this week like Modern Family, The Office, Eastbound & Down (Sunday), Big Bang Theory.
This Last Call will feature a power rankings comparing each one of our teams to a current show on TV. Lets do the damn thang!
Stunna- Started out bad (draft), lost ugly in Week 1, bounced back in week 2, and is now trying to right the ship with 3 new players in the starting lineup. I would compare this performance to NBC's Parks & Recreation. First season wasn't a total disaster but nobody was talking a big game about it but last season they bounced back with critics now calling it the "funniest show on tv". They added a couple new characters and boom, new destruction, massive success. It's going to take time to see how season 3 goes because it isn't coming back til January and it will also take a few weeks to see if Force's new additions (Vick, Tolbert, Jackson) and some older returns (TO, Boldin, Celek) put together a force of a team. Parks & Rec is a comedy and through two weeks Force's actions/reactions have been downright comical also.
Swayze- Has a top 4 position player in QB (#3 Brady), WR (#1 Austin), RB (#4 Rice), TE (#4 Finley) and is projected to get 150 points again this week. Good god. If his younger players even have decent weeks I do not want to face the power that is swayze. I would compare this team to AMC's "Mad Men". Lots of talent up top (Jon Hamm, dude who plays Roger Sterling) and if the supporting cast puts in a little effort each week you WILL be entertained.
Erin Andrews- This team should be good. With Brees, Colston, Fitzy, Clark you would think this team would be a contender. But through 2 weeks EA has the lowest points (30 less than anyone else) and his two starting RB's this week is Crazy Clinton Portis and banged up Marion Barber. (Side note: Great YouTube clip, of MB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZYKzpjci0s ). (Another side note: I remember watching MB in college and thinking, "this guy will absolutely be a pro RB. I don't watch much college football but have a good eye out for that. When Jacquizz Rodgers of OSU was a freshman I saw that potential in him too.) Back to my point. Unless Brees, Clark, and Fitzgerald get back to their usual production I see trouble for EA. TV comparison for this team: Running Wilde with Will Arnett, Keri Russell, and the people who did Arrested Development. How this show suck like the reviews show? Why did the pilot need to be reshot because the first version wasn't very good? AD was a great show. Hilarious. Ughh.
Goodfellas- Has some newcomers (Shonn Greene, Rodgers, Forte) and some Old Dogs (Gonzo, Driver, Akers, Moss). The future looks bright if the oldtimers keep it going. I would compare this team to two shows, American Idol and Friday Night Lights. AI has two new judges and a new mentor with the return of Randy Jackson and the production crew. I personally think the show is done and will never overcome the loss of Simon but Jennifer Lopez is the wildcard. She could resurrect it. FNL has Coach and Mrs. Coach still leading the charge but the new additions from Season 4 and East Dillon are going to have to step their game up to replace the loss of Riggins and Matt Saracen. I will miss Riggins. One of the great tv characters of all time.
Mr. Weiss's Tavern: GREATEST TEAM EVER. Going for GOAT status in my opinion.No more words need to be typed for this team. Pencil me in for the championship.
SOJO: Oh god, this piece of shit. His team is isn't a show, it's a movie. Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps. The one movie I ever walked out on. It was gross. As is this team.
Back to the Tavern: I was just messing. We need to analyze my team. I'm starting 5 new players that I either drafted on the bench or picked up. Ehhh. That's a red flag right off the bat. But I still got my WR's! I'm hoping for the snorting of Ortin this week. I would compare my team to Season 4 of the The Wire. Lots of newcomers with the schoolboys, loss of the field general McNulty (Eli Manning), but still same ol Wire. I loved this season as do I love my team. Sue me. I'm a homer.
Buck Wilds: In first place. Strangely. Best two players Romo and Mojo are sucking the tit right now but hes still in first. I don't think it will last. Starting Floyd and Bradshaw is not a recipe for success. For a tv show I would compare it to Prison Break. Season 1 and 2 were legitimately great television but 3/4 kinda fell off the wagon. As is our own Viral Desai. Tonight he almost walked into oncoming traffic.
Jaws/Avg Joes- Bringing up the winless rear are these two juggernauts. Jaws has been very unlucky with both losses coming by 5 points. That sucks. Joes has been scoring, averaging around 95 pts a week, which is not too shappy. Both these teams have decent rosters, couple of stars, couple of OK guys. Nothing to get a boner over though. I would compare these team teams to the Law and Order franchise. Keeps plugging along while the audience isn't really compelled to follow week to week. We'll stay tuned to these teams.
Two Pt Conversion- This team should be very good. You got Peyton (proven commodity), Jamaal Charles (Why KC doesn't run him 18-22 times a game is mind boggling), Steven Jackson/Dwyane Bowe/Zach Miller(if only they had a better supporting cast), DeSean (fastest receiver in the National Football League). I think they make a jump in the upcoming weeks like I see the show Community on NBC making the jump in season 2. They went under the radar in the first season but now people are talking and Joel McHale is trying to make this the best comedy on tv.
Lets enjoy some football tomorrow fuckers.
Oh, I almost forgot. My monster performance of the week prediction. Last week I picked Devery Henderson. Uhhhh. Lets forget that. This week I'm going with the great white hope Austin Collie against the Broncos. The Broncos have some DB's hurt so I'm thinking they'll target the shitty ones. Lets hope.

The Tavern: Dissing out Hangovers
I had one wicked of a hangover Saturday morning. Had a shot of SoCo that did not go down well. And on Monday morning I'm sure some football players had hangovers also. Like Chris Johnson, who did absolute shit on Sunday, looked disinterested the whole time, and probably drank and got wit honies all Sunday night. Braylon Edwards probably had one also, sitting in his prison cell Sunday night. How do you get arrested in Manhattan where there is cabs on every street corner? Dummy.
Matchups- We had some high power offenses in Swayze and Buckwilds this week. They put on a clinic. Romo and Best got 75 points alone and his best player, Mojo, did shit. Buckwilds looks like a team to be reckoned with. LeSean McCoy put on an absolute show vs. the lously Lions D. I don't know what it is about him because he isn't the fastest guy, most powerful, or athletic but the guy just breaks tackles and makes people miss. It's a shame Goodfellas had to face the powerhouse that is Swayze because 120 pts in nothing to be shameful of. We also had a matchup come down to the nitty gritty between the Power that is Sojo and Avg. Joes. Unfortunately SOJO has it locked up with all of Joes players on the bench. If I was the commish I would dock Sojo for being the worst prank phone caller in history. I got a message on Saturday night, 3 am, saying, "Hey its Lou Holtz, listen here, Notre Dame ain't losing again. If you want to talk, call me, I'll be on ESPN." Little did he know that Notre Dame had lost THAT night to MSU. Notre Dame sucks. When was the last time they were relevant? Reagans tenure?
I thought I had my game wrapped up Subway flatbread-style until Ol man Frank Gore went bonkers. Alas. Young Stunna was complaining to me earlier on Monday how "he was looking forward to 2011 already" and "My top 2 picks are bottom 30 RB's". It must have been a reverse jinx because it worked like a charm. Damn you Stunna. It didn't help that friggin Fasano on the Dolphins was shooting blanks against the Vikings, who have like 3 healthy DB's. I looked up Fasano's bio. Guess where he goes. That's right: Notre freaking Dame. The Le Toux Point Conversion started the immortal Ricky Williams and it hurts me to say this but it looks like hes washed up. More washed up than driftwood at this point. Same with Brett Favre. He made some UGLY throws on Sunday. You want some more metaphors and similes. Lets shoot some off. Stinky SOJO's bro has Vince Young on his bench. You better hit the waiver wire for a new backup. On Sunday he looked as horrible as the promos for Outsourced & Shit My Dad Says. The pick I blasted in the fantasy draft was Forces dubious 3rd rounder of Kevin Kolb. He had more fantasy hoopla surrounding him before the season than a Beatles concert during the 60's. (Note: Disregard that, I cannot think of anything). DeSean Jackson is quicker than a tween climbing over seats for a front row seat to a Justin Beiber concert.
For now we have 4 teams either undefeated or winless and the rest of the bunch crunched at 1-1. Anyone can win this thing. Its a marathon, not a sprint. I love those kind of cliches.

Week 2: Last Call from the Tavern
Week 2 action. I start work on Monday. 40 hrs a week. Totally cuts into my tv time. I just finished all four seasons of Friday Night Lights in anticipation of that. Great show by the way. Lets recap some of Week 1 to prepare for some week two matchups. A lot of QB's just SUCKED in the first week. There was at least 10 quarterbacks that were ughh on Sunday. Mark Sanchez literally could not complete a 15 yard pass. His passes were flatter than a week old beer can in a frat house.Trent Edwards is so BAD that it was painful to watch. Poor Bills fans. They have nothing to cheer for. The weather sucks, the chicks probably wear big, baggy clothes. Sorry Buffaloians.
A lot of the schedule for week two does not show at first glance a lot of fantasy goodness. KC at Cleveland looks good for the KC running backs. Jamaal Charles has straight speed and looks like he can outrun anyone. They should seriously hand it off to him and Thomas Jones almost every play. Cassel looked pretty bad so why not go with whats working. Mike Vick should have a field day on Detroit. They gave up so many yards to Cutler that should forebode well for the dog killer. Could McCoy possibly have a Matt Forte-esque day. Hmmmm. Green Bay plays the putrid Buffalo. If they are truly a great team this should be a blowout. (Doesn't italics put on a nice touch) New England plays the f*c#$ing Jets and I think Tom Brady will have a field day. I really like this Pats team. I think they have a lot of weapons and I wouldn't be surprised if Randy puts on a show to Revis. That would be cool. There is a legitimate feud between these two teams too. Tom Brady was quoted as saying he "hates the Jets" which was refreshing to my ears. Too often on Sunday I saw players from opposing teams helping each other up, slapping helmets, etc. What the hell. I want to see hate and people pissed off at each other. More hitting. Cursing. Stuff like that. NYG at Indy should be all O with a lot of scores. I honestly don't know who will get the fantasy points though. Each team has a lot of weapons. Nicks scored 3 TD's last week and Collie ran like Forrest Gump. This week it could be Steve Smith and Garcon doing the damn thang. IDK.
Top fantasy player: Every week I will pick a person, non-superstar, who I think will have a big week. Last week it was Collie and Nicks. This week I'm picking Devery Henderson of the Saints. Will a 100 yd, 2 TD wet your pallet. I sure hope so.
Concerns: I am concerned with Phil Rivers. He showed up to the game in blue jeans, big ass belt buckle, tucked in plaid shirt, and a casual hat. Looked like my kind of guy. Cool and calm. But then. Throwing the ball on the ground. Yelling at teammates. Uh-oh. Will the lineman continue to block their hearts out as the season goes on? Will receivers be scared of making a mistake every play? Do you really want to go to war with him leading? Look out for this.
Last call: The NCAA is a joke. A JOKE! I don't even want to get into the Reggie Bush situation. It's just stupid. However, the AJ Green deal and Florida's continued Roster of Thugs that continues to go unnoticed just keeps me away from following the sport a great deal. Seriously, look up the Gators recent arrests. Something like 29 players have been arrested under Meyer's regime. Does anyone give a crap? No. Shit never changes. I like watching the games and looking for future pros but the off the field shit I could give two pisses about. Remember that conference re-alignment spree. I didn't read one word about. Just don't care. The NCAA board seems like a bunch of corrupt, rich old fellas that don't give a crap. They will never change and the Urban Meyer's and John Calipari's will continue their reign. Whatever. Lets play some god damn football.

Week 1 Weiss's Tavern: The Hangover
We got football action, folks. Week 1 was a weak one. Hahaha. The opening night Saints v. Vikings game started out going well, as did the big game on the 1 pm slate Bengals v. Pats, but as they went on they kinda sucked. The Pats were crushing until the Bengals got there shit together but still came up two touchdowns short. And how bout Ocho and TO leaving before the first half ended to go up to the locker room. Pussies. At least there was a lot of good stuff on tv today. Football for 9 hrs, new episode of Jersey Shore, Music Awards, Mad Men (if you're into that), Phils, FIBA World Champs, and the WNBA Finals Game 1. You go girls.
The only games with drama were Lions/Bears, Philly/GB, and Atl/Pitt. Calvin Johnson got screwed and so did the Lions. He's on my fantasy team! C'mon ref, give him that. Kevin Kolb can't even go a half without idiots calling for the ax and Mike Vick hooked up to the Rejuvenation Machine. Atl/Pitt sucked for a while but then Mendenhall juked and jabbed into the end zone.
Only three running backs had 100 yd days, led by my boy Arian "Nation" Foster. CJ2k did the damn thang and Matt Forte caught some balls and made up for that shit he pulled last year.
Lets go to some match-up points. I'm going to lose despite getting 64 points from just two players. God that sucks. Young Stunna had our Good Call of the Week by not starting his prized possession Kevin Kolb. Jedi had a balanced attack with 6 players scoring 10+ points with Antonio waiting to play.
What did we learn from Week 1: Cris Collinsworth made a good point on Sunday night saying that players just aren't in the optimal conditioning for a full 60 minutes of football because they haven't played a full game in 9 months. I liked that. Toward the fourth quarter players were getting tired so we cannot conclude too much from this first week. I also learned that the Eagles had some irresponsible behavior dealing with Kolb and Bradley's concussion. C'mon Andy. I love ya but you cannot let Bradley come back in 2 MINUTES after his stumbling. Ughh. Although that did take some attention off the QB controversy that the media will be covering later on in the week.

Draft Recap
Happy 90210 day y’all. It happens once every hundred years. Today is a big day! I never watched the show but I’m sure some you old heads caught the tail end of it in the late 90’s. Did you know that show aired 296 episodes? Holy shit. Today a show is lucky to get 4 seasons. The people of Beverly Hills went 10 years airing 28 episodes a season. That’s good stuff.
Anyway, we have another reason to celebrate today. Bristol Palin is going to be on next seasons Dancing With The Stars!!! God she is so talented and famous. For what? I have no idea. She is the daughter of a Vice President candidate which lost. Oh and shes on again off again with the next hopeful mayor of Wasilla , Alaska . If that isn’t famous then I don’t know what is. Go away.
No, it is the official start of football season! College football premieres tonight which means the NFL is only a week away which means I can sit at home on Sundays and watch 10 hours of football which is awesome. I’m also thinking about getting the highly touted NFL Redzone channel this year but am worried I am going to get more pissed off when a third string tight end catches a one yard touchdown off a play fake when the team could’ve handed it off to my running back. That always sucks. But I digress. Lets dig in to some draft results from Monday night.
Average Joes: First four picks- CJ2K, Ced Benson, Phil Rivers, Wesley Welker. Solid stuff. Its always good to get the first pick in anything. Welker may have been a reach but the dudes a warrior. His knee exploded like five months ago but hes fine now. I don’t know how he does it. Chris Johnson is a fast mofo but I’m worried he might not live up to the hype after the crazy season. I remember a couple years back when Steven Jackson went crazy and promised 2500 yards from scrimmage the following season but ended up well short. The only difference between these two situations is the Titans are somewhat good while the Rams are so abysmal that their TE1 is Billy Bajema. I know, I have no idea who he is either. Late round intrigue: Vinny Jackson and Big Ben the Molester. If either of these two come back and produce like usual, Shawn has some trade bait to dangle.
Smelly SOJO: First four picks- AP, Schaub, Jennings , Moreno . Love Jennings . I watched their playoff game last year vs. the Cardinals and the dude caught EVERYTHING. He’ll produce. Moreno hasn’t played much in training camp and got hurt early which scares me. Late round intrigue: Hakeem Nicks. He has huge hands. Look it up.
Becky Buckwild: Jedi, did you get this name from the chick that was on Flavor of Love? http://blog.vh1.com/2007-08-14/beckys-got-the-feeling-for-more-flavor/ She was crazy. Anyway, First four picks- MOJO, Wayne , Homo, Best. I must say I really like this team. MOJO got nicked up a bit but hes always good for 9+ TD’s a year. Best is a solid keeper pick and in the late rounds he took some chances with rookies/role players who look to step up.
Son of Mr. Patrick Swayze: First four picks: Ray Rice, Brady, Austin, McCoy. Only pick I didn’t like in the draft was Ben Tate. Why? He broke his leg, out for the year. Gotta do your homework Stephen. Your dad would not be happy with you if he were still around. RIP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rVBe1NCh8
Mr. Weiss’s Tavern: First four picks: Andre Johnson, Roddy, Megatron, DeAngelo. Oh hey, its my team! I took three WR’s with the first three picks mainly because I was bored with the standard drafting I’ve been doing for 7 years. Either some combo of RB, RB, WR or RB, WR, QB was just not fun anymore. I wanted to take a risk and draft some blue chip WR’s and hope to hit on a RB in the later rounds. Anyone need a WR, offer me a trade!
Goodfellas: First four picks: Rodgers, Moss, Shonn (not Sean or Shawn) Greene, Steve Smith. Steve Smith is one of my top 5 players in the league. Hes like 5 foot 7 but carries himself like a giant. He caught a pass last year, got hit, broke his arm, scored the TD, acted like nothing happened. Also Randy Moss had one of my favorite YouTube clips ever. Just search Moss + Straight Cash. Late round intrigue: Chris Cooley. He is what I hope Brent Celek becomes one day. Just a big, fast white boy TE. I also like how Shonn Greene spells him name. People these days have crazy names. One guys name on Tampa Bay is named Stylez G. White. Nice.
Young Stunnas: OK, I’ve tried to keep the posts for every team pretty short but I’m going overboard with this team. Mr. Force’s draft just baffled me. The team name makes sense because afterward I was stunned! First four picks: Gore, Mathews, Kevin Kolb (???), Boldin. Screw it, I’m listing every pick. Next 10 picks: TO (he is so old and for him to be a fifth rd pick was absurd), Brent Celek (early, but homer pick, defensible), Johnny Knox (shaking my head), Favre (ehh), Packers Def (I loved the early run on defenses. Here is a fact about DEF for fantasy: They really don’t matter. The scoring differences between the 1st overall rank and 10th is like 2 points a game. And the top preseason ranked D rarely ends up with the most points. It’s a crapshoot. You have to wait till the end to draft a defense. There is only 10 teams in the league. That means that there is 22 available DEF as free agents. Hell, you can add/drop one every week and just find the team that is playing the Browns. They’ll score a boatload off of Delhomme’s interceptions. Now Force didn’t start the trend but he was a follower and that I can’t forgive), Holmes, Jones, Cribbs, Bradford.
I need a new paragraph. Kevin Kolb is getting so much love that I am slightly worried. He hasn’t looked to good in the preseason. I think he’ll end up being fine but all these projections of 4000 yards and resemblances to Aaron Rodgers are a little premature. Force drafted him as the 8th overall QB (27th pick overall). The next QB wasn’t picked until pick 50 (Flacco) then Manning (56). Seven teams had already picked QB’s. Force could’ve waited a round or two to pick up a top notch WR/RB then grabbed Korn on the Kolb. Boldin always gets hurt. People are saying, “Boldin is the missing piece in Baltimore and if he only stays healthy we will be great.” Heres some breaking news: Hes never healthy. Play 16 games straight and then we’ll talk. Force I will give you a thumbs up on the Cribbs pick. I see him as the next Steve Smith. He is Cleveland ’s favorite athlete right now after that cocksucker LeBron skipped town.
Erin Andrews Peephole: First four picks: Brees, Fitz, Grant, Colston. I am a bit concerned with the QB situation in Arizona which means I have concerns with Fitzgeralds production. He has a great smile though. You cannot deny that. Look at that profile pic of his. Sparkling whites.
Le Toux Pt Conversion: Peyton, Steve Jack, Jamaal, DeSean. If you picked up Jamaal Charles last year around Week 7 you probably won your league. He had like 1000 yards in 8 games. That is my one problem with fantasy. It doesn’t take too much skill. It’s all luck with your picks and what sleeper you pick in the 15th round that ends up being a Top 10 player at his position. Le Toux also has Jay Cutler and Dick Williams on his team. Speaking of profile pics, look at Jay Cutler’s. Don’t you just want to sucker punch him? And Ricky Williams is awesome. 33 years old and still crushing people. He is a cool dude. Watch that 30 for 30 on him. .
Jaws of Justice: First four picks: Ike Turner (ooo, Mike, sorry), Rashard, Brandon Marshall, Pierre Thomas. Mr. Menio started the DEF craze that I crushed Force for. Solid team. I have no qualms. Lets just congratulate Menio on that new jaw hes getting!
Conclusion: I’ve been playing fantasy since I was 13 and I think I have won one time. Translation: I really have no idea what I’m doing and in all likelihood the stunna of all stunnas will happen and Young Stunna will win the league. For the upcoming football year I just hope for a couple of things. Antonio Cromartie doesn’t have any more kids, Tony Romo gets a kick to the kneecap and is put out of commission, ChadOcho and TO feud, Vincent Jackson doesn’t disgrace my good name, Tim Tebow comes out with the Fryar haircut again, and the Eagles have a good season. Stay cool my friends.
