Instead, We Watched Weeds

Posted by Brandon |

Five fucking trick-or-treaters. That's all we had this year. Five. One group of two and another group of three. Between the Harvest Festival at the church down the street and the Mall's Halloween celebration, nobody was left to go door-to-door like in the good old days. It's kind of sad really. Somewhat understandable in this neighborhood, but sad nonetheless.

A Peeve and a Meme

Posted by Brandon |

I got kicked off of The Peevery today. I failed to do the mandatory Peevery Halloween Challenge, I just never got around to doing it this weekend, so I promptly lost my peeving privileges. Oh well, I haven't wrote anything in weeks over there and I've been thinking that it's high time I start bringing my peeves straight to my fine readers. So without further ado, here is the first of my non-Peevery, Down With Pants! peeves...

I have lost all faith in the intelligence of the youth of America. While shopping for cereal last week, I overheard a mom and a daughter trying to decide on their own box of cereal. Mom wanted Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. But the daughter insisted on Reese's Puffs because "it's the real one". What?! Reese's Puffs are not the real one you whipper-snapper. Peanut Butter Crunch is the original. Reese's Puffs, while tasty and less mouth roof destroying, is a rip-off of the Cap'n. Learn the fact before you open your mouth you little brat.

Nonetheless, I bought Reese's Puffs and discovered that the cereal industry is getting into the meme business. 18 Things To Do Before You're 18 is one of the strangest memes I have ever seen. It's ambitious (Play a part in your favorite tv show) but also sets it's sights very low (Meet someone with your own name) for those of us who wasted our teenage years. Anyway, I took the quiz and I failed miserably so I have changed it to 18 Things To Do Before You're 30. Unfortunately, I only have a couple months left to Conquer my biggest fear and to Pass my driving test the first time.



See? six out of 18 and I'm 29? I can't believe I didn't Invent a word that makes it into the dictionary by the time I was 18, and still haven't. What a crock. What have I been doing with all of these years?

If you would like to take the meme, the unchecked version is available by clicking here. But I warn you, it will make you feel bad about your childhood.

A Wonderful Cap to a Crappy Day

Posted by Brandon |

I just called 911 on my downstairs neighbors who were screaming at each other and banging shit around. I don't know if it was doors or each other or what it was, but it was loud. However, it's been 15-20 minutes, the cops aren't here, they have calmed the fuck down, and I think I gave the wrong address. Brilliant. We'll see where this goes.

UPDATE: Well, I think the cops came and talked to them, made sure nothing was wrong. It didn't seem like much happened, just a friendly stop to tell them to pipe down. I hope this gave them a good scare so that they get the point that this screaming at all hours has to stop.

I finally decided to call the cops tonight because I heard a lot of banging and I heard her yell "you're the one who just got out of prison after two years for doing heroin." Fucking great. Time to start locking up a little better. I am so ready to move.

DWP! Fantasy Football - Week 7

Posted by Brandon |

Can the juggernaut that is the Down With Pants! fantasy football team be stopped? So far, the answer is no. Seven straight wins to start the season and now a game and a half lead over second place. This week's victim, TheDutchFiles, put up a decent fight but in the end came up short as so many before them have.

The big winner this week was CineRobots, who not only knocked off Witty Team Name 69-62, but a Yahoo scoring change broke the 90-90 tie they had with 2much411foozball last week to give him another win moving him into a tie for fourth place and a possible playoff spot.

The surprise high scorer for the week was the Blogography Hellmonkeys who beat up on The OC Snackiepoos 91-42. Not bad for the lowest scoring team coming into the week.

Here are the week seven results. Leading scorers follow...

Culture Kills Lions (5-1-1) - 42 - Patriots Defense - 15 points
johnnyhongkong (2-4-1 - 42 - Tatum Bell - 11 points

CineRobots - (4-3) - 69 - Ben Roethlisberger - 20 points
Witty Team Name (2-5) - 62 - Carson Palmer - 16 points

Cuckoo For Kapgar (5-2) - 52 - Philip Rivers - 13 points
navelgazing ramblers (2-5) - 50 - David Carr - 16 points

Red Zins (3-4) - 51 - Cardinals Defense - 16 points
2much411foozball (3-2-1) - 32 - Eli Manning - 13 points

Blogography Hellmonkeys (2-5) - 91 - Peyton Manning - 30 points
The OC Snackiepoos (2-5) - 42 - Leon Washington - 18 points

Down With Pants! (7-0) - 89 - Donovan McNabb - 21 points
TheDutchFiles (4-3) - 72 - Alge Crumpler - 23 points

So who's next? 2much411foozball, are you up to the challenge? Both teams will be at full strength for the matchup, it should be an interesting game. Culture Kills Lions will try to get back on track against navelgazing ramblers while CineRobots and Cuckoo For Kapgar try to run their winning streaks to three against the Red Zins and The OC Snackiepoos respectively.

2much411foozball vs. Down With Pants!
Red Zins vs. CineRobots
TheDutchFiles vs. Blogography Hellmonkeys
The OC Snackiepoos vs. Cuckoo For Kapgar
Culture Kills Lions vs. navelgazing ramblers
Witty Team Name vs. johnnyhongkong

Bye week teams: Buffalo, Detroit, Miami and Washington

Careful, Man There's a Hipster Here

Posted by Brandon |

Tonight, Veronica Mars confirmed something about me that I've wondered about. I'm hip! Yep, I'm a big, fat, flaming hipster.

First of all, I watch Veronica Mars, so that's a start. Plus, Veronica continues to quote my favorite movie, The Big Lebowski. Tonight she yelled "Careful, Man there's a beverage here" at Logan while walking across campus. That's the Lebowski quote that graces my VW (which is one hip car)...


I thought I was just nerdy, especially after giving the thumbs up to some guy who was sporting the same bumper sticker this afternoon. But now that the words came out of Kristen Bell's mouth, I feel uber-hip.

Then, at the end of the episode, Logan makes a call to his half-brother...on his HELIO! Hey! That's my phone! I wonder if he has trouble accessing Gmail too. I knew that I liked Logan for a reason other than his brooding.

By the way, how confusing was it to have Logan from Gilmore Girls on with the Veronica Mars Logan tonight? I hate Gilmore Girls Logan, so I couldn't be happier to see VM Logan punch his lights out.

Shit, nevermind. I just talked about the Gilmore Girls. I am no longer a flaming hipster, I'm just plain flaming, which in itself is pretty hip, just not enough to overcome the Gilmore Girls talk.

I Want More Weekend

Posted by Brandon |

Have you ever not wanted to go to bed in the hopes that if you don't, the next day will never arrive? That's kind of the way I feel right now.

I had a pretty darn good weekend. I took Friday off with the wife and spent it at Disneyland. The last time we went we upgraded our 2-Day Park Hopper passes to Southern California Annual Passes for a mere four dollars each, so our trip on Friday was completely free. We got to ride the Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion (awesome!) and the new Pirates of the Caribbean (not too bad) amongst others, but Fridays are awful days to go because at night the place fills up and is nearly impossible to maneuver. We left earlier than planned because we were so worn out by the crowds. It was more crowded than on Christmas Day, which is their busiest day of the year. Oh well, we had a good time anyway.

Saturday I watched college football all day and went to the Ventura College game that evening. Nothing special but nice and relaxing and quiet. Today we went to my company picnic at the Santa Monica Pier and then hung out on the Third Street Promenade before seeing The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D (super awesome!). All and all, a solid weekend of fun.

But the fun ends tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. For the past two months me and my co-worker have been doing the work of four or more people and I have basically become the manager of our department despite not having attained the title and not getting fairly compensated for the role. Two weeks ago I finally hired a replacement for our customer service rep who left at the same time as my boss and I have been ecstatic ever since to finally get a little help. She was supposed to start on Monday, but on Friday afternoon I found out that she flaked on us and decided not to take the job. Figures. Nothing right has happened to this point, why should it start now?

So instead I have temp coming in on Monday and the search continues. This week we also launch our new order entry system and website, we have period end to manage, we have 25 pallets of holiday stock coming in that we have no room for and whatever other crazy crap the week can throw at the two and a half of us.

Like I said, I'm not ready for the week to begin. If I never go to sleep again then it will stay Sunday forever, right? Fuck.

My Life Spotting the D-List 2

Posted by Brandon |

Brian Posehn: Disneyland - Perhaps the last place on Earth I would ever expect to see comedian Brian Posehn is the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland. But sure enough and without a doubt, there he was walking away from Critter Country on Friday afternoon. Maybe he was on the Winnie The Pooh ride, which is a dream come true for stoners of all ages. I would have loved to be on the same boat as him in It's a Small World. I'm sure his dry, sarcastic wit would make that ride palatable.

WARNING!!! - PROJECT RUNWAY SPOILER!!!

Posted by Brandon |

In just one minute, there will be a major PROJECT RUNWAY SPOILER so if you haven't seen the show, just read the first paragraph and then move on. I will not have people mad at me again.


As a quick aside before I get to the PROJECT RUNWAY SPOILER below, I have to mention that today I ate the grossest, nastiest piece of fruit I have ever smelled or tasted. Guavas are fucking disgusting. It's eight hours later and I'm still tasting it. Yuck. Have you ever seen the episode of The Simpsons when they grow Tomacco? The smell and taste of guavas are what I have always thought tomaccoes probably would taste like. Never, ever again guava. You are dead to me.

Ok, here we go...PROJECT RUNWAY SPOILER!!! If you have it on your Tivo and haven't watched it yet, quit reading....now.

Jeffrey!?!?!? Are you fucking kidding me!?!?!? What a joke. I just don't understand what the judges on Project Runway want. One day they want one thing, the next they want the other. It must be confusing for the contestants. Uli did everything they wanted of her. Michael did what they loved throughout the show. Laura excelled at construction, which they always loved. And Jeffrey did what they typically disliked throughout the show. But on this day, they wanted "art" and not wearable clothes. Thus, Jeffrey and his neck tattoo undeservingly won the whole thing.

Between Vincent and Angela sticking around so long, the otherwise gorgeous Heidi Klum's occasional unfortunate choices in wardrobe, it's limp to the finish and now this horrible ending, the show became a drain on my Wednesday nights and I am now forever done with Project Runway.

DWP! Fantasy Football - Week Six

Posted by Brandon |

I've finally figured out why my Down With Pants! fantasy football team is kicking ass week after week. It must be Playtex Sport. I don't know how athletes ever performed without it. I mean 360 degree coverage and one- of-a-kind backup? That sounds incredible. I'm not sure what they are doing with them, but the commercials have convince me that they must be the answer.

Yes, my team won again, although it was a little too close for comfort. If McNabb doesn't perform, my team has it's issues. Nothing much changed in the league this week. Culture Kills Lions continued their winning ways while Cuckoo For Kapgar posted the league's high score with 99 points to take over the league scoring lead. 2much411foozball and CineRobots battled to a 90 point tie. Their scores would have been good enough to beat any team in the league except Kapgar, that's some bad luck.

Here are the week five results. Leading scorers follow...

Culture Kills Lions (5-1) - 82 - Drew Bledsoe - 15 points
Witty Team Name (2-4) - 62 - Joe Horn - 17 points

Cuckoo For Kapgar (4-2) - 99 - Philip Rivers - 18 points
johnnyhongkong (2-4) - 43 - Roy Williams - 14 points

2much411foozball (3-2-1) - 90 - Torry Holt - 25 points
CineRobots - (2-3-1) - 90 - LaDanian Tomlinson - 30 points

navelgazing ramblers (2-4) - 42 - Reggie Brown - 18 points
Blogography Hellmonkeys (1-5) - 22 - Jason Elam - 9 points

TheDutchFiles (4-2) - 65 - Mark Bulger - 23 points
Red Zins (2-4) - 37 - Losman/Rackers - 12 points

Down With Pants! (6-0) - 60 - Donovan McNabb - 14 points
The OC Snackiepoos (2-4) - 47 - Laveranues Coles - 17 points

In week seven, TheDutchFiles has their first chance to knock off my undefeated squad. The game of the week pits second place Culture Kills Lions against a revamped johnnyhongkong team that is poised to make a run at a playoff spot despite his 2-4 start to the season.

2much411foozball vs. Red Zins
TheDutchFiles vs. Down With Pants!
The OC Snackiepoos vs. Blogography Hellmonkeys

Bye week teams: Chicago, Tennessee, St. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco and Baltimore.

My Life Spotting the D-List

Posted by Brandon |

Brian Bosworth: LAX Airport - My first celebrity sighting came while standing in line at LAX. I was flying home to Seattle after a weekend of apartment hunting down here and he was standing in front of me in the Alaska Airlines check-in line talking very loudly and forcefully to someone about a real estate deal. It was a great thrill for a long-time Seattle Seahawks fan, even if he was a huge bust. I couldn't be happier that my first celebrity sighting was of the star of Stone Cold and One Tough Bastard.



David Spade: The Avalon Hollywood - David Spade is even shorter than you would ever imagine. We saw him chatting with some friends in the parking lot next to The Avalon Hollywood following a Dan Band show about a year ago. We weren't sure if he was leaving from the show or if he was just showing up for something else. Nonetheless, he was there, on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, a place that we read that we would never, ever see celebrities. It's too touristy.



Mike Farrell: Ca Del Sole Italian Restaurant - We went to this restaurant expecting laid back Italian food. Wrong. It was uppity and fancy, but the food was pretty darn good. Anyway, Mike Farrell of M*A*S*H came into the restaurant with a large group of people. I always loved M*A*S*H and Captain BJ Hunnicut so I recognized him immediately even without his mustache. After reading about all the liberal activism he has undertaken over the past 25 years, I am now an even bigger fan. And I like to think that he was as put off by the snootiness of the waitstaff as we were.



Wilson Cruz: Hollywood & Highland Center - I first spotted Wilson Cruz of My So Called Life and Tick...Tick...Boom! (an amazing play we saw him in earlier this year) fame while another fan was chatting him up late Saturday evening at Hollywood & Highland. I was impressed because he genuinely looked like he was happy to have a fan stop and talk to him. I got Death? all confused because I said that he played Angel in the movie Rent when, in fact, that's Wilson Jermaine Heredia. I always thought it was Cruz that played that part in the movie and when we saw Rent on Broadway. It's easy to understand my confusion, Cruz has played Angel before and both guys look very similar and they're both named Wilson. Oh well, I was still excited see Wilson Cruz. I told you you'd never guess.

The Sports Logo Pundit Site Redesign

Posted by Brandon |

If you didn't know already, I maintain another blog besides Down With Pants! It's a little pet project I like to call The Sports Logo Pundit. It's a place for me to talk nerdy about sports logos and sports in general. Over the years, it has developed a small following of like minded nerds who still seem to come back despite my neglect in posting and overall upkeep. But today that all changed with a massive and much needed redesign.

If you have a moment, even if you don't like sports, please head on over there and check out the changes I made and let me know what you think. It's still a work in progress as I continue to find things I don't like or things that don't work and it would help if I had some other opinions. Thanks in advance and I promise some actual content over the next couple days.

Tune in tomorrow....We saw a celebrity in LA yesterday! I bet you can't guess who!


My fabulous and beloved former employer is having another contest. Even though I might not technically be eligible for any of these contests, I'm a good old fashioned shill who likes the possibility of free stuff, so what the heck, why not enter. Plus, if I turn on just one person to the greatness that is Archie McPhee, it's all worth it.

The contest is pretty simple. Post your Archie McPhee wishlist on your blog or MySpace page with links back to the products, then email the URL to contest@mcphee.com. Two people will win $200 worth of stuff on their wishlist and two others will win $100 worth of stuff.

So without further ado, here is the Down With Pants! family wishlist. Buy us crap!

Bring Back Our Stubby!

Posted by Brandon |

dancin stubby=

So let's see, we have our Down With Pants! campaign to support, earlier this week we launched our Down With Scented Candles! political action committee, and I have been trying to do my best to promote the greatness of Veronica Mars since I got hooked earlier this summer. But I would like to have even more random crap to support, so where do we go from here?

Luckily I found another cause today that I seriously can back wholeheartedly, no joking around about this one. Bring back our Olympia Beer stubbies! It has been too long since I drank that intoxicating elixir from a little glass bottle. Oly from a can is fine, but Oly from a stubby is perfect.

DWP! Fantasy Football - Week Five

Posted by Brandon |

Two teams separated themselves from the pack this week. My Down With Pants! squad led the way again with 80 points to continue my unbeaten start to the season. And I now have at least a two game lead over everybody else except for Culture Kills Lions, who knocked off Cuckoo For Kapgar on Monday night behind nine points from the Ravens Defense to take over sole possession of second place.

In other action, last week's only other one loss team, 2much411foozball, didn't put up much of a fight against Witty Team Name going down 49-35. In fact, much of the league didn't put up much of a fight, even the winners, as scoring hit an all time low.

Here are the week five results. Leading scorers follow...

Culture Kills Lions (4-1) - 65 - Deuce McAllister - 12 points
Cuckoo For Kapgar (3-2) - 61 - Bears Defense - 17 points

Witty Team Name (2-3) - 49 - Greg Jennings - 11 points
2much411foozball (3-2) - 35 - Kitna/Holt - 8 points

TheDutchFiles (3-2) - 46 - Mark Bulger - 16 points
CineRobots - (2-3) - 29 - Antonio Gates - 8 points

johnnyhongkong (2-3) - 69 - Eagles Defense - 24 points
Blogography Hellmonkeys (1-4) - 41 - Peyton Manning - 13 points

The OC Snackiepoos (2-3) - 46 - Jaguars Defense - 26 points
Red Zins (2-3) - 20 - Brett Favre - 8 points

Down With Pants! (5-0) - 80 - Donovan McNabb - 23 points
navelgazing ramblers (1-4) - 60 - Robbie Gould - 19 points

The week six matchups are incredibly important. This week will separate the contenders from the pretenders. All of the teams at 2-3 face teams with better records. The OC Snackiepoos have the best opportunity to make a statement taking on my DWP! team. Too bad my squad will be at full strength while the Snackiepoos will be missing half of their players due to the bye week.

2much411foozball vs. CineRobots
TheDutchFiles vs. Red Zins
The OC Snackiepoos vs. Down With Pants!
Cuckoo For Kapgar vs. johnnyhongkong
Culture Kills Lions vs. Witty Team Name
Blogography Hellmonkeys vs. navelgazing ramblers

A bunch of teams are off this week. Cleveland, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Minnesota, New England and Jacksonville all have byes. So remember to set your lineups! It might take you ten minutes.

Down With Scented Candles!

Posted by Brandon |


I would like to thank Glade for finally taking on the one true enemy of all god fearing Americans: scented candles. Those fucking things have been half assing their duty for years now and yet no one has had the balls to put them in their place until now.

Not releasing scent quickly throughout the room is inexcusable. And where the shit is the lasting fragrance? Plus, blowing them out has become such a time consuming hassle, I can't even fathom how people have been putting up with it for all these years. It's all total bullshit, and I'm sick and tired of it and so is Glade.

We all need and deserve quick and long lasting fragrance. It is our dream, it is our calling, it is...our destiny.

Down With Pants? Fuck that. Down With Scented Candles!

What Brandon Likes

Posted by Brandon |

With apologies to Greg, here are two albums that have dominated my CD player over the past week...


The Killers: Sam's Town - I'm surprised that I haven't read more reviews about this album on the blogs that I read. I know a lot of you went out and picked it up immediately upon it's release just like I did. I couldn't be more impressed by this album. At first listen, I found it too dense, too layered and overly produced. But after a second listen, then a third listen, then a fourth, I ended up putting nearly every song onto my iPod. Almost every song on this album would make a great single. And Brandon Flowers voice has matured so much. He now sounds a lot like Roy Orbison if Roy were surrounded by awesome guitar hooks and synthesizers. I think Sam's Town is a classic, and I'm curious to hear what all of you think.


Solomon Burke: Nashville - I love Solomon Burke more than steak and gravy. His voice is so beautiful and perfect. His 2002 comeback album Don't Give Up On Me is near the top of my favorite albums ever and Nashville, a album of country standards by this classic bluesman, takes it's place right next to it. After hearing the first 30 seconds of the album's opener, That's How I Got To Memphis, I knew I would love this album. It's easy to forget nowadays with the advent of pop-country that gospel and country were once intertwined and grew up together. This is an amazing example of that gospel-country with Solomon singing these songs like they were his own. And his duet with Dolly Parton on Tomorrow Is Forever is surprising because their voices work so well with each other, like they had been singing together forever. While other albums and artists fade from my favor with time, I'd be willing to bet that this is an album I will be listening to 20 years from now.

I'm a Lazy Blogger

Posted by Brandon |


This image has been saved in my bloglines for a couple weeks now. It cracks me up every time I see it.

Totally different topic: We celebrated Oktoberfest tonight by chowing down on some Bavarian food from The Old Vienna (conveniently located only blocks from our house) and watching The Sound of Music. It's the first time I've seen The Sound of Music and I am so sorry to say that I started rooting for the Nazis at one point. Couldn't they have shown up two hours earlier and ended our suffering? That is one strange, mixed-up musical.

Project Runway Limps to the Finish

Posted by Brandon |

Why is Bravo so terrible at finishing their series? Every Project Runway season so far and the first Top Chef season both limped into the final episodes and dampened my enthusiasm for finding out who wins.

This Project Runway season went full bore for ten straight episodes but when we got down to four finalists, they took a week off and showed a season two marathon, then they showed an extremely boring episode where everybody's designs stunk and nobody got kicked off, this week they had a reunion, next week we get part one of the finals and finally, on October 18th, we learn who wins. At that point, I'll just be relieved that there aren't any more delays.

Tonight, Death? properly diagnosed Vincent. Seriously, no joke. This guy has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Here are the diagnostic criteria according to Wikipedia (so take it for what it's worth), at least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis:
  1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
  2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
  4. requires excessive admiration
  5. strong sense of entitlement
  6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
  7. lacks empathy
  8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
  9. arrogant affect
Anybody who has watched this season, or even a couple of episodes can see that Vincent displays all nine of these criteria. Vincent isn't a little weird or crazy, he has an actual personality disorder. Surprise, surprise.

Did you see him tonight go off about his laundry and how he just laughed about it afterwards. He can't see how scary that was which is another big part of his disorder. And don't miss his tirade on the Bravo site about "blogspots". It's priceless.

UPDATE - Minutes after posting this I decided to do a little research and it turns out that many people have suggested that all of the contestants have this personality disorder. But, I think it is particularly true for Vincent. He exudes at least five of the criteria while the others have massive amounts of one or two and only show traces of the others.

DWP! Fantasy Football - Week Four

Posted by Brandon |

We now interrupt today's Veronica Mars Day celebration for a special presentation of Down With Pants! Sports...

I know I'm going to start hearing it this week. Down 12 points going into Monday Night Football, QB Donovan McNabb put the rest of my losers on his back and rallied my DWP! team to victory over johnnyhongkong to keep our unbeaten season alive. I got lucky this week. McNabb is the man!

In other action, Cuckoo For Kapgar continues to impress posting a league record 104 points behind QB Byron Leftwich while both Culture Kills Lions and 2much411foozball kept pace remaining only a game back of first place. The Red Zins posted their second straight victory after a horrendous start to the season and appear poised to make a run at the championship behind general manager RW's shrewd use of the free agent market.

Here are the week four results. As always, leading scorers for each team follow the score...

Cuckoo For Kapgar (3-1) - 104 - Byron Leftwich - 21 points
Witty Team Name (1-3) - 33 - Lamont Jordan - 12 points

2much411foozball (3-1) - 73 - Falcons Defense - 25 points
TheDutchFiles (2-2) - 67 - Mark Bulger - 26 points

Culture Kills Lions (3-1) - 57 - Drew Bledsoe - 13 points
Blogography Hellmonkeys (1-3) - 28 - Peyton Manning - 16 points

Red Zins (2-2) - 64 - Lawrence Maroney - 18 points
navelgazing ramblers (1-3) - 48 - Reggie Williams - 16 points

CineRobots - (2-2) - 53 - Thomas Jones - 16 points
The OC Snackiepoos (1-3) - 32 - Tom Brady - 14 points

Down With Pants! (4-0) - 58 - Donovan McNabb - 29 points
johnnyhongkong (1-3) - 50 - Jeff Wilkins - 18 points

Week five features a matchup between two second place teams as Cuckoo For Kapgar takes on Culture Kills Lions. CFK will be at full strength while CKL will be without five bye week players. The up and coming Red Zins take on the OC Snackiepoos while CineRobots and TheDutchFiles try to separate themselves from the middle of the pack.

Not to name names, but a couple of you did not set your lineups this week and it had a major impact on the outcomes and the standings. Please stay active and make sure to get your players in. If you have a problem, please contact me so I can fix it for you.

Happy Veronica Mars Day!!!

Posted by Brandon |


I feel like declaring today a Down With Pants! national holiday. We all should take the day off and watch as much Veronica Mars as we can in preparation for tonight's season premiere. Season two ended on the picture above and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Only 21 more hours to go. Happy Veronica Mars Day everybody!!!
