Hittin Da Lynx: Fat Monkey Butt Is Not Alone



By Spezzal Teams Playa


Having your computer crash isn't the only reason to ask the Commish to fix your lineup. For example, maybe you are planning a vacation. Or maybe you're an old man who can no longer see your monitor. Or maybe something even more unfortunate.
  • Some of you may have received this message already, but it appears that our buddy, Franconia Wombats, is about to be incarcerated. [Don't drop the soap]

  • Those of you in the Dynasty League might remember some biotch who preferred whining and nagging, to following baseball. You know, like every other woman on the planet. [Kicked to the curb]

  • If you're like me, and your assless chaps are still at the cleaners, here's hoping that they are open on Sundays. If they aren't, that's gay. [Not that there's anything wrong with that]

  • Whether you are old enough to remember the original A-Team or the original Hawaii 5-0, logic dictates that you are old enough to recall when rappers borrowed liberally from those iconic programs, sucka. For our younger readers, those were TV shows in the 80's, fool, that made Lost look as unpopular as the new Isles GM's old show, Unhappily Ever After. How's that for an awkward segue into Fowl Play's non-fantasy-sports-related leisure activities. [Hurley, we've got to go back to the island]

  • Years ago, while living on Spray Avenue, my typical neighbor spent his time discussing the relative merits of Beer™ brand beer, local hero Ryan Smyth, and the Waldhaus Pub. Certainly nothing even remotely cerebral, like Golden Carp's version of Banff. [How to feel dumb as dirt, in ten easy seconds]

  • Finally, in order to justify using her name as a tag to drive up traffic, here's Samantha Micelli on high school in Minnesota, making Ottawa nerds feel comfortable around hotties, and her brother's uncanny ability to predict the obvious:

On This Day: Mega-Merger, Superman, 3-Fitty Club



By Dive'r Down Dave


On this day (May 10th), in 1969 ....
  • a gallon of gas cost 33 cents
  • a loaf of bread cost 25 cents
  • and the plans for the NFL-AFL merger are completed. The NFL would now consist of two conferences of 13 teams each, the AFC and NFC. The NFL agrees to move three franchises, Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, to the AFC.




On this day, in 1970 ....

  • a gallon of gas cost 36 cents
  • a head of lettuce cost 29 cents
  • and Bobby Orr's goal gave Boston its first Stanley Cup in 29 years. The Bruins beat the St.Louis Blues in overtime, to complete the four-game sweep.



And on this day, in 2008 ....

  • a gallon of gas cost $3.05
  • cheating on Christie Brinkley cost a fortune
  • and Greg Maddux of the San Diego Padres became the ninth pitcher in major league history to win 350 games, allowing only one unearned run over six innings, in a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

On This Day: Capital Punishment Not Harsh Enough?



By Dive'r Down Dave


On this day (May 4th), in 1993 ....


  • a gallon of gas cost $1.16
  • a loaf of bread was $1.57
  • and Dale Hunter of the Washington Capitals received a then-record 21-game suspension from shiny new NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman, for his blatantly late blindside check on the New York Islanders' Pierre Turgeon, in a Round 1 playoff game a week earlier.
