Shameful!
March 26, 2003

Let me start by saying my performance on Sunday was horrendous. Yea, I had a couple of bad breaks, but the way I played was awful. How was the score 21-15 at the half, waiting on the opening kickoff return, and then I lose 82-15?

The reason was I played stupid. #1 I thought that I could always come from behind, but against a baller like Tyrell, I know I can't rely on that. #2 I had way too many turnovers (6). #3 I have to stay patient on O and D. So now, going into the playoffs, I will be the number 2 seed in our conference. Some of the other guys in the league who were laughing and rooting for the 100, that is cool. If it was one of you, I would do the same thing.

However, Detroit Dell, I do not know how you can speak on the subject. Last week, I made you stop gambling on the game, so you really need to get your act together. Go to the Super Bowl one year, and then I will give you a break. Now that I got the pressure off of me, let's get to some of the other performances for the week.

Swammi, I talked you up, and then you did it to me again. How can you play me, James, and Tyrell close, and then lose 4 straight. I know you are a much better baller than that.

Wayne Mr. Cardiac Kid, you are officially #4 in our league. Behind you, we have Detroit Dell who only loss to Brooks, Wayne, and the lowly Rams. Dell, you have been solid to date, but your confidence at this point in the season is way above your actual playing status.

I think we all should learn a valuable lesson from Leonard (Packers). He came out like a bat out of h-ll, and now he is not even in the top 10. My suggestion to everyone is, if you are a talker, and you can back it up, then talk. However, if you are humble and low key, please stay in your place. Don't be somebody you really are not.

Next in line are my two new guys Tavis and Salley. Tavis, your Patriots are an up and down team. You really played a great game against Swammi and his Dallas Cowboys. My only question is why can't you stay consistent?

Mr. Salley on the other hand, I believe you are really playing well. You had two tremendous performances against me and Tyrell. Like I have always said, keep it up.

In closing, Steve, what happened. You had a chance to put Dell in the dogggggggghouse, and you let him out. Before the game, you were your usual self, and I thought you were going to put a foot in Dell, but ...... All I know is you were missing in action.

One shout out for Hines. I think that was his first shut out ever in the PFL.

See ya!!


Back In Action
March 18, 2003

What's up!! I am back in action with the rest of the PFL, and this week, I'm not holding back.

To start, I think Brooks and Tyrell are playing some great football. They are head and shoulders above everyone else at this point in the season. My game is straight, but there are a lot of negatives with my team (Secondary-Linebackers). However, I do not believe in excuses like my boy Dell, so I NEED TO PICK MY GAME UP.

The beating Brooks put on Leonard (Packers) was ridiculous. The final score was 49-0. Can we say "WOW".

Last night, Swammi and I played a lovely game. He came back from Las Vegas with a world of new blitzes. Swammi bottled me up all game, and he should have won, but his offense is horrendous. Also, let me add that the football angels were on my side. Luckily I got to overtime with a beautiful 4th down conversion that I took to the house, and then it was downhill for Swammi. On his first possession in overtime, Swammi fumbled when I sacked him on his own 10, and then I scooped it up and took it to DA house. Finally, I got a break! Everyone knows that we will see Swammi later in the season. He has some more time on his hands not being the commissioner anymore, and I know he will get some tips from LOUUUUUUU!

With some of the other guys in the league like Wayne, Steve, Dell, and Rod, there games have all been up and down. I have renamed Wayne to the Cardiac Kid. He is finding a way to win late, which is a true sign of a former athlete. Now with Steve, he is extremely intelligent when his ego is not involved. I know he is going to sneak up on us late in the season. This new running attack is serious, and a sign of his smarts. Officially, the chuck and f__k man has changed.

Let's move on to Detroit Dell and Rod. These two are really sporadic. I know Rod hates losing, but he has accepted the fact that he is going to try to sneak into the playoffs. I just hope Rod does not think that he is the Bulls with Jordan, or the Lakers of present because it is hard to turn it on and off. Detroit Dell on the other hand is really sick with his game. He will play great against someone like me or James, and then he will lose to someone like Cook. You do the math. Last week Dell had all of these predictions, and he went 0-2. If I was him, I would be very quiet for a while.

Furthermore, some of the other guys in the league I would like to mention are Teddy B, Salley and the Bills, Leonard and his Packers, and Womack. Let's start with Teddy B. He has great games with everyone, and he is always in the game, but he can't beat anyone who is considered a challenge. Easily he is in the worst division in the PFL and he struggles with their top three ballers which consist of Dell, Teddy, and Wayne. If he can't beat those guys, what would he do against the top ballers in my division (Me,Tyrell, and Leonard).

Next is one of our leagues more intriguing ballers. Salley and his Bills are interesting and a joy to watch because he has a tremendous gameplan every week. I think he will go deep in the playoffs. Remember Salley was the first player to really test Tyrell this year. Keep your head up dogg, you will be all right Now for Leonard, whose demeanor has really changed this year. He was really silent last year, but now if you see him, you might think he was my clone. Yea, Leonard is that loud and rude. He beat me once, and now he thinks he is going to win a championship?

All of you guys in the league know it is going to come down to me, Tyrell, James, or Steve if his act comes around. Yea, I said it. I know a lot of you do not want to hear the truth, but I am just telling you what God loves.

In ending, I want to take my hat off to Womack. Not only has he improved from last year, but he is an actual threat in the game. I can remember 2 years a ago putting my stick down and letting the computer play him. Can we say coach of the year???????????????

I am out. See ya next week!


Back To Normal
March 7, 2003

Last weekend we returned to the norm in the PFL. Your top three ballers Tyrell, Brooks, and myself were doing there usual (Dominating). Everyone was really focused last week, and all the games were competitive. Yea, I know everyone saw Rod take a nasty foot, but our games are usually closer than that. Rod has shown a tendency to get in a slump during the year, so we will chalk that blowout up.

In other news, my game of the week was Tyrell against the brash talking Leonard Pressley (Packers). Leonard was extremely confident against Tyrell because he "UPSET " me last week. However, Leonard you can't throw the ball up and hope for the best and think you are going to win on a regular basis. Yea, I know you were talking saying you stuck to your gameplan and beat me, but I will have something for you next week. Deep down inside, you know someone in this league (Probably me) will put up 60-70 on you. EVERYONE NEEDS TO REMEMBER THAT I HAVE THE PEN AND PAPER. DON'T TALK TRASH TO ME! IF YOU ARE A SCRUB, STAY IN A SCRUB'S PLACE!

Back to real league news. Swam, I am impressed with your game right now. You are bringing a lot of heat (Probably learned everything from LOU), and your offense is getting better.

Teddy B, I would rank you higher, but you have to beat someone that impresses me in the league. The victory over Wayne does not count because he always loses a big game. The only baller he can beat consistently is Dell who is in my top ten. Wayne, I know you are a good baller, but you always lose to someone that you should beat (Hines). Yea Hines game has improved tremendously, but ...

Keith (Bills) keep up the good work, I see you are going to sneak up on a lot of people. You and James had a competitive game last week, and if you had some breaks, who knows.

Now for Dell Barton. How can you beat Rod, who blew out Cook (Rams), and then you get blown out by Cook? Maybe someone else can do the math. Every year you have the same pattern. Win a big one, lose a big one, lose another big one, lose another big one, and then shock everyone, and win a big one. Whatever happened to CONSISTENCY!

To close, I hope that I pissed everyone off as usual, but I am only telling the truth! I will see Tyrell and Brooks later on in the season but until then, see ya!!

PS.....

For everyone who tried to stack our division which consist of Me, Tyrell, Leonard, Hines (Who beat Wayne), and Jermaine, we will have the championship trophy in our division as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


February Madness
February 25 , 2003

What's up!!!!

Once again the PFL kicked off its season last week, and right off the back, we had two upsets, and an almost.

To start, I lost to Leonard and the Packers by 2, Rod (Jets) lost to Dell and the Lions, and Tyrell went to overtime with the Swammi. Throughout the day, there were many close games.

Drake (Bucs) and the new guy Tavis (Patriots) had a barn burner, and oh yea I forgot, WAYNE LOST TO HINES!! That is a rough one to swallow, but this is what I was looking for in this league. Everyone is getting better, therefore, hopefully it will make us better at the next level. To add, I was sick when I lost to Leonard and the Packers, but it was good for me.

I do not know how Rod, Dell or myself played on Sunday after a week of WARREN SAPP! Everytime that guy comes in town, he breaks my routine. All of us probably picked up the game maybe once or twice during the week. The Super Bowl Party we threw for him at Bermuda Bar and Grill was off the chain. Every star you wanted to see was in the house from Edgerrin James, Santana Moss, Duane Starks, Bizzy Bone (Bone Thugs), etc..

I will see all of you ballers at the Nationals party in July. You know if the pro ballers are out, then that brings every woman you want to see. Shhhhhh don't tell your wives.

That is why I give Dell a lot of credit because he beat Rod, and I know Rod's game has improved from last year. He is going to be one of the tougher ballers in the league. However, I hope he stays in a funk for this week when we meet.

To carry out my point about the ballers, you still have steady Brooks, Swammi (Also called The UPSETTER), and Teddy consistent B. These guys are going to give you exactly the same patterns throughout the year. Brooks is going to be methodical, Swammi is going to have patience like nobody else, and Teddy is going to throw the rock.

Some of the new guys will also represent and "Make the Playoffs." Salley (Bills) and Jermaine (Giants) have a great shot. Lastly, I don't really know who will have the best record at the end of the year and have home field advantage throughout the playoffs like I normally do, but remember the king is not dethroned until the last whistle. I might actually have to get into the lab for once.

Tyrell I will see you and Brooks soon, and Swammi, I will not sleep on you this year. Out until Friday!!
