Fantasy Survivor Week 8

Another big move in this week's episode. After the tribes were rearranged for the second time, there were three Kotas and two Fangs on each squad. Kota lost the immunity challenge so they had to go to tribal council and send someone home. Marcus, Bob and Susie were the only members of Kota left. Crystal and Kenny were the Fang members joining Kota for the first time. With Marcus wanting to get rid of Kenny, he told Susie that was what they were going to do. Susie, being an outsider of Kota while she was there, made the good (or bad) move of going with Fang's Crystal and Kenny and voted out Marcus. No bonus points because she never had a deal, but a big move never the less.

Fantasy Survivor Week 7

Finally someone decided to step up and make a sweet move. Although it was completely awesome and you need to back stab in Survivor, I'm not quite sure what to think about Sugar's betrayal of Ace. It could pan out for her, but I felt that Ace was going to help her along to get as far as the two of them could. As long as she had the idol and the two of them were close, they could get far in the game. He already turned down Matty's idea to get rid of her a couple of times. Never the less, I enjoy a good back stab. That is, on reality television I do, not in real life (like a certain Jewish singer some of us know). Oh and by the way, Mags is running away with this thing.

Tag, I'm It


So The Boss tagged me via his blog about his ex-fighting pit bull found here. I figured I might get fired if I don't go along with this game of blog tag, so I will adhere to some of the rules stated above.

Because I don't feel comfortable coming up with seven interesting things about myself, I have decided to go double duty and share one interesting thing about 14 different people...

  • Larry's favorite show on television right now is Gossip Girl.
  • Jon the Bon is always hungry but never finishes his food.
  • Tyson makes frequent trips to his Alma Mater to watch Benedict Arnold sing.
  • Jayj wears fluffy socks year round.
  • Braids gave up on the Wii after trying for 30 seconds.
  • Jaydon spends 24 hours a day with the lights off and leaves the window open during the winter in NY.
  • Bonz does a tremendous impression of Bruce Dickinson.
  • T-time has an unbelievable idea for a new theme park resort area that will never come to fruition.
  • Mags missed to basketball games at VC with an ankle because he jumped out of a second story window.
  • Bird loves hanging out with security guards.
  • Pack always has the best fantasy football seasons with the worst fantasy football teams.
  • Buddens drinks out of the side of his mouth at all times.
  • Lochness claims to be a fan of Lost and The Office, but never watches them.
  • Rob is so nuts that I can't think of anything interesting to say about him that isn't completely inappropriate for this blog.
By rules of this game, I now will tag as many people as I can...

Drinking Kool-Aid


By far the most overused phrase in sports this fall, mostly in football, is drinking the kool aid. Everyone is either drinking or not drinking the Titans kool aid because they're 6-0 but weren't predicted to make the playoffs by many analysts. A lot of people were drinking the Kyle Orton kool aid when he had three weeks in a row of 300 yards. Not many were drinking the Gus Bus kool aid when he came in at quarterback for the Vikings.

I don't know where this phrase originated from, but I enjoyed it when I first heard it. But now that I hear it everyday on Fantasy Focus Podcast, Football Today Podcast, Around the Horn and PTI, I wish that these guys would come up with many more clever and witty phrases like this, instead of overusing and ruining such a good line.
