The Bare Head Bowl

Whats going on everybody? After a long absence, I will fill you in on the week one showdown between Pigott and me in fantasy football. After strategizing and anticipating for weeks, the time finally came. So last Thursday before the first NFL game of the season, Pigott and I spoke on the phone just long enough to exchange our famous line "hats off to ya". Hence, the "Bare Head Bowl" had begun. Pigott was the only one who got points that night, since he had recently added Jason Taylor to his team in a trade with me where I got Santana Moss. But Sunday was when the sparks began to fly. I woke up that morning with my tongue out and panting like a dog with excitement. Pigott went to early church just so he could have time to make it to the sports bar in time for the first games. I decided to just stay home since I was able to see a lot of my players and my beloved Packers on cable. Pigott and I once again spoke briefly on the phone and exchanged a few more friendly but competitive words..........then it was on. During the first games, Pigott took off on me like he was chasing a truck full of hot dogs. However I started creeping up on him once the Green Bay game started, and I finally passed him and never looked back. I have the Chicago defense who shut out my Packers but also got me 114 points, more than any other defense in the league. There are simply too many details to mention here, so I will go ahead and tell you that Pigott's offense sputtered and I ended up blowing him out 831-610. Right now I am poised for a great year at the number two spot in the league. Unfortunately 5A Pigott has some work to do, but I expect him to bounce back from this loss and work his way to the top half of the league shortly. I am negotiating a trade right now, so I will keep you updated. I also gotta give a shout out to my stars this week. They are the Chicago D (of course), Rex Grossman (surprisingly), Drew Bennett, Chester Taylor, Troy Williamson, Ahman Green, and every defensive player on my team.......you guys kick ass, keep up the good work. And last but not least, I heard some big news yesterday.......Deion Branch was traded to the Seahawks which means his holdout is officially over. It sucked having him sitting on my bench, but he should make my offense even more high-powered now. Thanks for the competition this week 5A, and a hardy hats off to ya as always.
