The New Hangout Thread - v5.0

and we lost a messed up game. still had a chance to tie at the end.

 

Speaking of Buck Fenson...Tom Benson (Saints owner) just died today, at 90 years old. Rest in peace and let the court fight to see who will inherit the team begin!!

 

Even though he was 90 years old, I was still pretty sad to hear of his passing. He didn't have the best reputation, but he's been an NFL staple for decades. RIP.

 

I always wondered why some Saints fans hated him so much (@Buck Fenson , are you still here? Care to explain?). Sure, the team sucked for 30 years, but they eventually turned it around and were a big part of the recovery after Katrina. Just by not permanently moving the team, he helped the community so much.

 

In today's episode of "I hate fantasy football and I have no idea why I keep playing"

I have both Rivers and Roethlisberger in my team (yes, I know...I'm stuck in the 2000's). After the Bills defense made 2018 Joe Flacco look like playoffs 2012 Joe Flacco, and since Big Ben still doesn't have Bell and struggled against the mighty Browns in week 1, I thought starting Rivers was a no-brainer.

Well, Ben made 5 more points than Rivers and I'm losing my match-up by 2 points.

Why, oh why do I keep doing this to myself? :(

 

I enjoy Sundays so much more since I stopped playing fantasy. I'll never go back.

 

Hello, hello, hello.....is this thing on?

 

Yes...yes it is...basically 2 or 3 people now out of pure nostalgia

Hi, Mike.

 

Ha!! I finally quit Fantasy Football this year...well, last year...2020.

I don't know what I was thinking...top 3 decision I have made in my life...ever.

 

TJ!! Nice to see ya

I was cleaning out a cabinet this morning and found a gridiron fans mug I won years ago when the old owners ran the place
Made me wanna drop by and see if anyone was still here

 

Well, it's just basically Dawk and me these days...and Chump drops a link to his latest column from time to time. Even the fantasy section was dead this year.

This site remains at the top of my bookmarks folder, since 2005 (I was in college that year!!! Me, 18 months away from my 40th birthday). That's why I keep coming back. I want to see if I can make it to 20 years, but it doesn't seem likely...

 

Hey Mike! I hope you are doing well. TJ pretty much summed things up for this board. I miss the old days of message boards. FB and Twitter pretty much killed them off....bummer.

 

We're the last two hell fish

 

Doing well my man. Hope the same for you!
