THE PLEASE RAISE YOUR CHILDREN TO BE LIKE JIMMY CONFERENCE

 

TEAM #7

 

Team Owner:  Head Of Merchandise/Staff Writer JROCK

 

Team Name:  Daniel LaRusso Is Gonna Fight

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Matt Ryan – ATL

RB:  Matt Forte – CHI

RB:  Ryan Grant – GB

WR:  Randy Moss – NE

WR:  DeSean Jackson – PHI

RB/WR:  Pierre Thomas – NO

TE:  Jason Witten – DAL

K:  Nick Folk – DAL

DEF:  Dallas Cowboys

 

Summary:  "My strategy of only drafting players with the names Matt or Ryan was thwarted when I discovered 1986 Cleveland Browns kicker Matt Bahr was no longer in the league. I also attempted to draft the Rhine Fire defense of the old World League because Rhine sounds like Ryan, but that was shot down too.  Truthfully I don’t even like fantasy football, but my I guess no one follows professional badminton as closely as I do so the fantasy badminton league never materialized.  Though I’ve never finished in anything other than last place in previous fantasy leagues I have a gut feeling my luck is going to change, no wait that’s indigestion - my bad." 

 

TEAM #8

 

Team Owner:  Staff Physician/Advice Dispenser Dr. Soccer

 

Team Name:  Trapper John, M.D. > Doogie Howser, M.D. 

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Peyton Manning – IND

RB:  Reggie Bush – NO

RB:  Willie Parker – PIT

WR:  Larry Fitzgerald – ARI

WR:  Donald Driver – GB

RB/WR:  Donald Brown – IND

TE:  Heath Miller – PIT

K:  Stephen Gostkowski – NE

DEF:  Pittsburgh Steelers

 

Summary:  “I don’t know much about who is good and who isn’t so I went out a bought a few magazines that I thought were very informative until I learned that they were printed and put out on shelves three to four months before the season even starts!  How am I supposed to know the latest from these ten-dollar magazines?  What a gyp.  My next approach was to pick guys I had seen in commercials or were named after my favorite Uncle Donald.  God rest his soul.”

 

TEAM #9

 

Team Owner:  Head Cheese/Big Enchilada/Top Banana Jimmy Conrad

 

Team Name:  Calmer Than You Are

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Tom Brady – NE

RB:  LaDainian Tomlinson – SD

RB:  Joseph Addai – IND

WR:  Terrell Owens – BUF

WR:  Kevin Walter – HOU

RB/WR:  Torry Holt – JAC

TE:  John Carlson – SEA

K:  Lawrence Tynes – NYG

DEF:  Chicago Bears

 

Summary:  “My main strategy was to pick guys that I felt were undervalued by coming off of a significant injury (Tom Brady), an off year (LaDainian Tomlinson, Joseph Addai), being a crazy egomaniac (Terrell Owens), or were good three years ago (the players already mentioned, Torry Holt, Bears Defense).  I mixed in some players most people have never heard of with these familiar names and to be honest, I think I’ve got myself a winner.  With that being said, as commissioner of this league, I would like offer a round of good luck to all of the participants.  Don’t let me win it two years in a row!”

 

TEAM #10

 

Team Owner:  The Much Despised But Very Entertaining Staff Writer Know-It-All Jones

 

Team Name:  Go **** Yourself

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Philip Rivers – SD

RB:  Frank Gore – SF

RB:  Brandon Jacobs – NYG

WR:  Wes Welker – NE

WR:  Hines Ward – PIT

RB/WR:  Julius Jones – SEA

TE:  Tony Gonzalez – ATL

K:  David Akers – PHI

DEF:  Baltimore Ravens

 

Summary:  “If this fantasy bull**** was played on paper, this would already be ******* over, my ******* team ******* rules.  Even my ******bag of a probation officer, Randy Thorpe, or whatever the **** his title is, believes that I have the best team.  Randy never ******* speaks because Randy is an ******* but in our many weeks together since my incident (LINK) with that ******* punk Pianist Matthew Petrosa, I have come to understand his mix of nods and eye rolls.  This ******* trophy is mine because I am the **** and so is my team.  So go **** yourself.”

 

TEAM #11

 

Team Owner:  Husband Gut

 

Team Name:  In-N-Out Burgers

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Kurt Warner – ARI

RB:  DeAngelo Williams – CAR

RB:  Steven Jackson – STL

WR:  Steve Smith – CAR

WR:  Dwayne Bowe – KC

RB/WR:  Fred Jackson – BUF

TE:  Antonio Gates – SD

K:  John Carney – NO

DEF:  New Orleans Saints

 

Summary:  “Oh yeah, you lesser turds out there.  I am Husband Gut!!!!  I have the ability to eat and watch TV…without going to the bathroom!!!   OH YEAH!!!  It makes me the perfect competitor for this league.  I can watch every game, every play while enjoying my fast food or bag of Oreos so be prepared for me to be the first to the waiver wire for the next big thing.  You will suffer.   I LIKE TV AND FOOD – This is what gives me my power over you.  I’m watching.”

 

TEAM #12

 

Team Owner:  Intern Todd Stevens

 

Team Name:  The Yes Man

 

Team Logo:  

 

Projected Starters:

 

QB:  Carson Palmer – CIN

RB:  Brian Westbrook – PHI

RB:  Steve Slaton – HOU

WR:  T.J. Houshmandzadeh – SEA

WR:  Brandon Marshall – DEN

RB/WR:  Anthony Gonzalez – IND

TE:  Dallas Clark – IND

K:  Rob Bironas – TEN

DEF:  Miami Dolphins

 

Summary:  “Jimmy told me that if I ended up winning the whole thing this year, then I could lose the ‘intern’ tag and become a full-time employee replete with benefits so I tried to draft the best team that I could.  Also, to make sure I exhausted every resource at my disposal, I called each NFL team that my players play on so I could give each one of them a pep talk about what it would mean for me to be a full-time employee at JC.com.  If it happens, then maybe I can finally get my hospital bills paid for after Know-It-All Jones threw his ping-pong paddle at me and cracked my head open (15 stitches) after I beat him in this year's JC.com Table Tennis tournament.  Please win team, please.  I’m begging you.”
