Its funny, I was going to give him that one too but I didn't want him to get too cocky winning too many awards.

It tore my heart out to read that re-cap and realize I wasn't there to steal
the day and a victory. I think you should add the caveat that if Mike
McClure was there you would be writing about how McClure neutralized McMahon
(like last year) and how his hot right arm lit up you guys again.

Bad news, I won't be coming home for Christmas either. I am boycotting NJ
until they lower my mom's property taxes. Actually, I'm changing jobs.

I am sorry I did not give an honorable mention to McClure as his footsteps we being heard when I picked up the Jones family with tentative questions like, "Is McClure going to be there?" and a releived sign when I say no.

I am sure the Jones' are relieved to know McClure will not be showing up for Xmas either. But in a way we all are.

But McClure, even though you were not there physically, your presence was there.

Its very quite from the Jones family and Brothman and Schwartz.

And from McMahon as well.

I cannot believe these guys are not commenting!!!

I just woke woke up from my painkiller induced coma. I am finally able to walk without a limp.
I have to add a few corrections to Georges recap of the Turkey bowl. Although Romo did throw 5 TD' s later that day, I only threw 3. I recovered a fumble from their QB and returned it 80 yards for a score, and ran one with the help of terrific blocking by the monstrous Muha. You blocked 3 guys on that one play. I can still hear BK saying " He fumbled? How did he fumble? He didn't even get touched!" As i raced down the field for the momentum changing score.
One more comment....McClure is scared to come home for Christmas. He cancelled his flight after hearing about the Romo esq performance put on this year and he knew that he would be no match. The reign of terror is over McClutz.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the run and fumble recover. Since there was no statisticision at the game, I had to improvise by making some of the scores up. I forgot about that monstrous blocking by me. That was pretty awesome of me.

Bold words, speaking to an old rival in absentia. They ring hollow with those in the know, however. Without McClure's pinpoint passing, clever playcalling and intimidating demeanor the game was much like that of the 1987 NFL season - a 2nd tier performance. Not to mention the formidable crew, the McClure Clan consisting of three 6'3" playmakers and the football-curiosity Van Seggern - (admit it, because Van Seggern doesn't know what he's doing you cannot scheme against him) nowhere to be found.
I would've loved to have been there. I played from early September until Thanksgiving weekend every Saturday. With the helpful advantage of living and training at a 5,280 foot altitude I would've had legs the whole game, not like you three-quarter mothereffers.
The summation was great. It sounded like fun. Tom, I look forward to future matchups. I know you are still scared of my cat and elevators so I have the advantage. You are a sizable bag of rocks, though, so I'll bring my 'A' game. Then we'll play basketball, and you'll kick my ass...
Brian, hope the family is good. I regret to inform you I will not be able to come home for Christmas either. Kim's mom recovering and all...George, you are a closet journalist, come on out buddy, Woody Paige is leaving Around the Horn and I think you would do good. Watch out for Mariotti though, he submarines people.

The J-E-T-S are getting so blown out this week against the Packers. With a PATS win and a JETS loss, the PATS will clinch another title and the JETS will be knocked out of the playoffs yet again. For some JETS DRAFT BLUNDERS check out this YOU TUBE which shows the pathetic JETS in actions.

OH and by the way, the so called Unruly JETS fan is going down this week to a REAL champion, HIGH VOLTAGE!!!

First of all...let me introduce High Voltage to all the contributing writers of this blog. High Voltage is the guy who still sours over a Fantasy Football loss vs. the Jersey Boyz (aka Unruly Jets Fan) where the game was tied. The obvious tie breaker was that tie was broken due to bench points. For whatever reason, Voltage would not give up the Super Bowl trophy and scratched the Jersey Boyz name off it as well. So that'll give you a little backround to form your own opinion on. Plus, and feel free to boo outloud on this one, he is a Patriots fan from Massachussets.

Ok, back to your post Voltage. First of all that was a funny You Tube video. Some of those pics were not that bad though. Freeman McNeil was not bad and neither was Jeff Lagemen. An even funny video would have been all the available players we could have had but we drafted some dud, ie Drafting Blair Thomas when Barry Sanders and Emmett Smith were still available.

There will be a show down this week in Fantasy. The loser goes home and the winner just might go to the playoffs. You better start packing, bc it will be a bloodbath.

MC, we were all sorry that you weren't there. Except for the Jones family that is. At any rate, I will smell you girls later. And when I say girls I mean High Voltage.
