Talk owners! Talk!

Hello League,
How is everyone? Good, I hope. I understand how we are all busy, a lot of the time, but I believe that this league could be even more enjoyed if our owners posted short messages every now and then to keep up to date in our fantasy league. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to do, but the OGIL is a place where all of our owners' ideas are blended together for the betterment of the league. If you have free time, I'd love to read a rant every so often... =-) Also, to our imprisoned Commish, I would like to be interviewed again if you'd have me on. Thanks!

You only have 21 hours to save the world...

Hello League,
I think it's great that the league has decided to "pick out of a hat" for the upcoming fantasy league draft. We are all beginning on a clean slate this season, and I feel that a completely random draft is the correct direction to go in because of the spontaneous results it may yield (although it may create more corrupt animosity). We, as a league, do not wish to send our league representative to Guantanamo Bay... again. As the hours of voting are winding down realize that, as a league, we have made the right, justified, virtuous, and uncorrupt decision to "pick out of a hat" to reveal the drafting order. Keep in mind that anyone who violates the very moral OGIL principles (which there are none of, just joking =-) ) will be severely punished and will be ousted to Guantanamo Bay. Thanks.

THE OGIL BLITZ!!! New York... the most interesting place to play!

Welcome to the OGIL BLITZ!!! Only the OGIL BLITZ!!! has this news! Today we have a special edition sitdown with NYIs' owner Chris G.

"In 2010, New York will be the best and most interesting place to play in the OGIL" said the now sophomore OGIL owner. He's confident that the NYIs' second year will be even more interesting than their first. This reporter asked him how this could be done when the first year was already so interesting. The NYIs-ian replied, "It's very tricky... We will build on the successes of our first year and fix what we need to fix." This reporter also questioned the NYIs-ian about how important continuity would be this upcoming season. "What kind of question is that!? Continuity is what killed the NYIs last season. We need to get better in that department or we will go all the way down... to the toilet bowl. We don't want to end up there after such a promising first season."

Well, there you have it, from the owner himself, the NYIs will create more buzz in the coming weeks and you can bet that New York is the place to play in 2010.

Super Bowl Prop Betting

For many folks the Super Bowl is many things and each seem to have their favorite part of the day:

some like the commercials

some like drinkin beers

some like eating a bunch

some like the game

and I love the prop bets!!!  My guesses are in parenthesis...

Coin Toss(Colts), Total Kickoffs (over 9), Team to Commit 1st Penalty(Saints), team to score last in the 1st half (Saints), what will the score be..td or field goal (FG)?, will there be a safety (no), How many times will Pete Townshend do a windmill on the guitar at half time (over 7), how many times will CBS cut to shots of Archie Manning and/or Kim Kardashian (6 for Archie and 2 for Kim), how many times will the announcers mention Hurricane Katrina,(3) what color will be the gatorade bath (orange), Bush running yards (42) or Odom points/rebounds/assists (16/8/3 = 26).

Answer to NYI's

Great post Mr. Blank.  I loved your analysis of the OGIL rivalries. 

However, I think you forgot one:

The Bison v. Turner and Hooch

The two worst teams in the league will be battling for the title of most stinky!
