Well here’s another one for the “i never said that i’d never do that” list. fantasy football. oh yeah, that’s right, i’ve joined interoffice fantasy football leauge….oh sure, i spent a lot of time saying “i don’t understand why anyone would play that”…I even made a few cracks about how people would rush to get home or take a day off for the draft days…but lo and behold here we are, I’ve succumbed to peer pressure and joined up….do i know anything about this shit? no of course not. but it’s webbased, so i’m sure i’ll come to love it.
i think there is a “quick pick” feature that will just create my team for me. that’ll save some time and effort.
i’ll let you know now it goes.

Well now you’ve done it- the divorce papers are in the mail. No football in my life, sorry. It is perhaps the silliest sport ever and a most blatant representation of homosexual repression. Grown men in very tight lycra pants all jumping on top of one another and grabbing each others’ behinds. I much prefer gay men who are out (and dressed much more tastefully) than the good ole’ american meathead type, trying to prove his machismo (all while slapping the asses of men in purple and turquoise hot pants).

Jeff, I once went with the auto-draft strategy you plan to do. Came in dead last. Kept defending my “hands-off” managerial approach, thinking things would eventually turn around. They did not.
So you’re going to be smoked. Mind you, that beats putting effort into a sport you have no love for and as much knowledge of.
The only fantasy doolie worth doing is the Final Four hoops tournament. You choose all variables in one shot, and let them ride. Kind of like a pick-six lottery/superball or whatever you guys have down there. Up here we call it 6/49.
That’s “six-quarante-neuf”.

Buy one of the many (if I were jefke I would say myriad) of fantasy football magazines available at your local giant bookstore chain. They’ll have rankings overall and by position.
Go football!

RateMyTeacher.com is a site that you probably have not heard of yet but probably will soon, especially if you have kids. RateMyTeacher.com is a site where students, or anyone actually, can go to the site and rate their middle or highschool teacher by giving a 1-5 rating in the categories of easiness, helpfullness, clarity and popularity. You then can view the overall and individual ratings that people are giving teachers along with comments that are given at the time of the rating.
datingandrating.com and greatnudity.com best picture rating site ever
all can be bought at sellbuydomainnames.com
Their mission statement is for “students to be informed about teachers they’ll have in the future. It gives students and parents a good foundation for where their education is leading.” This gives students the ability have more of a voice in their education and the ability to hold teachers accountable for what they do, or do not do, in the classroom. And students can use this
