Nobody Drafts Vick In Fantasy Football League

My fantasy football league’s draft was Saturday afternoon and as expected, nobody drafted Michael Vick.

Not even Duff, a guy know for making some questionable picks (Vikings running back Adrian Peterson in round two this year).

Vick was a top 10 quarterback last season. Apparently killing a couple dogs will ruin your career worse than a torn ACL.

He has been suspended from the NFL indefinitely, which is a shame for an owner who would have otherwise drafted Vick. He earned a respectable amount of points in fantasy and played for a team that probably would have been a playoff contender.

Myspace Is History, For Me Anyway

I’ve taken one more step in my increasing age maturity.

I deleted my profile on Myspace.

I never used the site anymore. I would log in to confirm I had no new messages about once a week and that was that.

Plus, I turn the big 30 later this year and I felt I needed to delete the profile before that birthday hit. Kind of like the same reason I will no longer be able to purchase and drive a Jeep Wrangler. Only having more to do with Chris Hansen’s “To Catch a Predator” than being that old guy driving a Jeep.

Get Animated: Simpsons & Lego’s

Remember those South Park caricatures from a couple years back that we all made of each other?

Well, now we can do it with characters from “The Simpsons.”

Ah, hours of fun.

Also, for all you Lego’s fans out there, here is a way to make yourself into a Lego person.

Here’s the best I could do with my Lego self. And here’s the full image of me as a Simpsons character.

If you want to e-mail me your creations, I’ll post them.

Forbes: Columbus 19th-Best City For Singles

Columbus, OH, is the 19th-best city to live if you are single according to the latest ranking from Forbes.com.

Columbus placed just behind Las Vegas and just ahead of Miami, which I think is pretty amazing, actually.

That’s My Girlfriend, Asshole! Vol. 5

The following ads were posted to Craigslist.org in the Missed
Connections section of Columbus. I’ve replied to each with only the
line “That’s my girlfriend, asshole!” Here are the responses:

HIGH ST. - m4w - 25
Date: 2007-08-17, 7:06PM EDT

I was at the garage on the corner of High and…well I cant remember, but there was a gas station on the opposit corner, you walked by in a light blue shirt with a tan’ish colored hat and sunglasses. I dunno if you will read this. But I had one a red polo with camo shorts on. We starred at each other for a few seconds and as quick as you came you were gone again. I wanted to come up to you and ask for a name and number but I thought you might have been in a hurry. If you read this please get back to me!!! The garage I was at was HIGH ST. AUTO SALES.
