TNM&GB Hockey Musings Part III

When I say that 3 of my friends died from heroin, I kinda mispoke. These are people that I knew in High School and would BS with them whenever I saw them out at the bar or around town. These aren't people that I would go and hang out with at their house or make plans to see. So they aren't exactly friends of mine, just people I know.

Heroin use skyrocketed in my town when I went away to college form 05-09 and at least 1 in 10 people I know from High School has used or is still using it. It's probably due to the fact that there is nothing for kids to do in my town and we are close enough to the city. It sucks, but that's life. It's not like I'm hanging around with a bunch of junkies, even if I wanted to I don't have time, Chris' mom never lets me leave her bed.

niner - how much do you charge for the service of the SUPER CHEATSHEET? i need all the help i can get. im in 3 free leagues and a mega league with a partner. is there any chance you can send me a copy of the spreadsheet via email ? Not one red cent, Catfish.  I forgot to throw that offer out, same as I did last year, anyone out there wants it, just PM me your e-mail address and it's yours.  I had 3 takers last year I think.  I know craig did for sure.

Once you get it, the columns with the formulas are hidden.  Also, there are still some red and blue numbers which denote those rankings still outside 1.5 std dev.  In those cases I had already eliminated another ranking and those popped up.  I just didn't want to reduce the sample size further.

One caveat, though.  Once I send it, all sales are final.  No service calls, either.  It is what it is.

9'er-im in. email sent.

Got it, Catfish.  I'll send it your way when I log on to my pc at home tonight.

aces -thanks.

I come back to CBS, to check stuff out, and it sucks even worse!

Thanks Craig,I knew you would appreciate a good bow and arrow story...not that any other posters would not like it,I just think  the only bow story they know is Bo friggin' Derek hahahaha

Thanks Craig,I knew you would appreciate a good bow and arrow story...not that any other posters would not like it,I just think  the only bow story they know is Bo friggin' Derek hahahaha My oldest brother lives in Colorado, Alfie, and has for the most part gone exclusively to bow hunting.  He tagged his first elk with one last year.  When he came to visit over the 4th of July weekend, he ordered a new bow from Scheels and picked it up in Iowa City on his way here.  It's called a Rytera Alien X .  That means nothing to me but it probably does to you.  Crazy looking thing.  Definitely not something Robin Hood used to carry. 

Any of you DTV customers out there, I would appreciate some of the do's and don'ts you may have run into over the years.  I'm in the honeymoon period with DTV right now (and loving it, by the way), but I know once the hook is set it's difficult to get out.

Alfred41: I would bet this is going to go over ther heads of many young posters ...

bu i bet many of them Do NOT know Bo (Bo Derek OR  Bo Jackson!)  

bu i bet many of them Do NOT know Bo (Bo Derek OR  Bo Jackson!) I walked into an auditorium and announced I was going to sit in the Bob Uecker seats.  I got a lot of dumb looks from the younger folks.  It is one of my all time favorite commercials:

Front rooooow

What's really cool about this clip is there's a very brief segment right at the end showing a Monday Night Football game between the 49ers and Redskins.  It shows the Niners winning (of course) over the Redskins in the 4th quarter. 

I LOVE BOB Uecker. I bet he scripted the commercial. He makes ANYTHING FUNNY!

Thanks a load ninermaniac. I will take a look at your work NOW and begin (as I did last year) my FIRST look at Fantasy Football for the new year.

This is getting to be an annual thing: begin by joining the Fantasy Football League of FlyFlyersFly and then wait for ninermaniacs rankings and to begin the Tampa Fantasy Football strategy. 

My biggest problem with Fantasy now is that I was always a RB type team but now we only get 2 runningbacks and with the RB shares teams use, this strategy is passe I would think. 

One more comment about the fantasy football spreadsheet and I'll shut up about it.  I started it about 3 weeks ago so some of the rankings might be a little stale.  They go in order from left to right, left being the oldest. 

It is truly incredible how stupid people can be, even when you least expect it. When I first sat down at the computer today, I have no internet. I try rebooting the PC - no help. Next, I power-cycle the modem. Still nothing. So I say ok, guess it's time to call tech support. Turns out they are well aware of the problem, because they have added an announcement to the beginning of their hold recording:

We are having problems with our backbone provider. As a result, the internet is down. We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. You can continue to wait to speak to the first available representative, or you can get more information from our website.O_o

Say what? I can go to your website? What part of THE INTERNET IS DOWN is too confusing for you?
