BayshoreKB Fantasy Football

Okay, so I've been a little bored at work today and decided to review our draft from yesterday and break down who had the best draft. Since we drafted using the Yahoo system, I used the Yahoo Pre-Draft Rankings. So this may differ from the player ratings of other sites, such as ESPN. With 16 rounds of picks, people sometimes take a flier and draft someone they typically wouldn't otherwise because of the sheer number of picks at their disposal. With this in mind I ranked each team including all 16 picks, and then again (eliminating one pick as an outlier) including only the top 15 picks. I then made starting line-ups for each team (one utilizing a 2RB and 2WR setup, and one utilizing a 1RB and 3WR setup) and averaged the player ratings for each line-up to once again rank the teams. Finally, I used the players left over for each team and ranked the back-ups because there are always injuries. So, basically I spent way too much time being un-productive at work today. Enjoy...

Most of you know my involvement in the Tampa Gator Club. Well one of our biggest fundraisers is our Annual Gator Rompin Pub Crawl. So since you KB'ers just love SOHO and drink specials, why not come out to this event?!

Pre-Season Power Rankings

Alright... since nobody else has taken the lead on this... here we go. I loaded the entire league roster into a database and ran 10,283 simulated seasons to produce the data below. I then asked the computer to provide a comment for each team. Here are the results:


I encourage everyone to make their own predictions. The season is only a week away! Let the shit talking begin!

"the top film at the Toronto International Film Festival"



The Couple, Abby (KRISTIN BOOTH) and Andrew (JOSH DEAN), try to spice up their stale love life, only to discover that things are worse than they thought.
The Friends, Matt (AARON ABRAMS) and Kris (CARLY POPE), lifelong buddies, one lovesick and the other sick of love. Their plan to sleep together goes off the rails when romance rears its ugly head.
The Exes, Mia (SONJA BENNETT) and Eric (JOSH COOKE), hook up again for old time's sake, while trying to hide the feelings they still have for one another.
In The First Date, world-class playboy Ken (CALLUM BLUE) comes clean about his history to his naive young date Jamie (DIORA BAIRD), learning some of her secrets in the process.
The Roommates, Dave (PETER OLDRING) and Gord (ENNIS ESMER) are normally at each other's throats, but set aside their differences for a threesome with Gord's girlfriend Inez (NATALIE LISINSKA).
In each case, the couples (and trio) discovers that sex isn't always simple.




Young People Fucking premiered at The Toronto International Film Festival to sold out houses and national praise. Since then, it has played the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Festival du Nouveau Cinema and was honored as one of Canada's Top Ten, a festival for the ten best Canadian films of the year. Young People Fucking will be distributed in Canada by Maple Pictures while TH!NKFilm will distribute in the United States.

On a tear today...

Soccer is a no go this Sunday. I have somewhere to be....



Next Sunday doesn't work for me either....

The new is filled with great shit today.

The origin of "Flonette"....

Good thing...

Ty used his "Senior Customer Service Representative" negotiating skills for our benefit at MacDinton's. I was starting to get worried.

The Wolfman trailer

Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother...and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Joe Johnston directs The Wolfman, and six-time Oscar®-winning special effects artist Rick Baker brings his design and makeup talents to transform Del Toro into the fearsome title character.

While I was Away

Rather long, but if you're bored check it out.

"During the Summer of 2007, I had the opportunity to backpack around Europe for 2 weeks. I talked about it often before I left. My girlfriend however, although great in many respects, was not the world's greatest listener. I left on Friday June 1st. Despite even calling her to say goodbye the night before, she never realized I left. When I arrived home 2 weeks later, I had several emails from her, waiting in my inbox..."

never too early to start thinking about halloween

Jeanette Finally Scored!!

After months of playing and months of begging "Pass Me The Ball"... Jeanette took it upon herself.

She stripped the ball from the last defender and raced toward the goal, her steely glaze focused solely on the prize...her soccer cherry! The only things that stood before Jeanette and immortal glory was Hedo Turkolu, her own feet, and a sizable puddle. As she calmly dribbled around the puddle, and didn't fall over, she sized up the goal and slotted it past the outstretched arms of the onrushing Hedo Turkolu. Jeanette raised her arms in glory while her teammates and opponents alike took a moment to applaud this wondrous achievement.

Oh and she is better than this guy.

Random Thoughts

This got forwarded to me today, and I thought they were hilarious, but a little long. Read them all if you have a few minutes.

1. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
4. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
6. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
7. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
8. Do you remember when you were a kid playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
9. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
10. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f*ck was going on when I first saw it.
11. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
12. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
13. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
14. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
15. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
16. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
17. Was learning cursive really necessary?
18. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
19. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
20. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
21. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
22. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
23. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)...ummm...Goonies"
24. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
25. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
26. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
27. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
28. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
29. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
30. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
31. Bad decisions make good stories
32. Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
33. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
34. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
35. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
36. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
37. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
38. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to fall after leaning your chair back a little too far.
39. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
40. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
41. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
42. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
43. When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
44. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
45. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
46. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
47. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
48. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
49. I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.
50. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
51. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
52. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
53. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
54. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than with Kay.
55. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.

I'm alive!

Hello peeps!!

I promised that I'd update the blog to let everyone know that I'm still alive and now seemed like a good a time as ever!

I can't wait to see you bitches when I get back... Just please don't judge me for being fat and pale upon my arrival. It's winter here and I've been doing a lot of drinking. Correction: I've been doing A LOT of drinking!

I have plans to work on a farm in September in New Zealand and the most Aussie thing I've done see AND eat a kangaroo... and I had a straight up "barbie" with a bunch of Australians... A few of the people that I've met here promise to visit FL so I expect full-on booze-bagging when I bring the foreigners around.

So... I love you all but the internet is costing me a fortune and 9let's be serious) I'd rather spend my money on booze!

See you all in October (or sooner by the looks of my bank account).

Potty Putter

People come with the weirdest ideas. Are they really making money on this stuff?

Men and women play juvenile games...




CNN) -- The World Adult Kickball Association, one of the largest kickball organizations, has spread its tentacles to 33 states as well a soldier division in Iraq. WAKA Kickball began as a casual game between a few young single friends in their 20s in Washington, D.C. Now, the games appeal to tens of thousands of adults, many of them yuppies wanting a quick escape from the stresses of their first 401(k), mortgage and job.

"I played soccer growing up, and I like competition," says avid kickball player Marlon LeWinter, 28, of New York City. LeWinter, a public relations executive, usually plays the position of center with a bunch of producers, writers and analysts in their late 20s. They named their team Chipwich Nation after they scarfed down the cookies-and-ice cream treat at a bar after a game one night.

"Sometimes when it's [the score] two to one in a kickball came, I get the jitters," he says.

The economic bind also creates a favorable environment for adults to latch onto simple children's games and sports. With players who are trapped in a world of layoffs and job freezes, these adult leagues, contests and tournaments are the equivalent of sandbox time for children. They can make new friends and go for a beer after the game. These activities are also budget-friendly, costing less than $100 to join for several months of play -- much less than a golf club membership.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - Heath Ledger's last film



Get ready to cheer, Heath Ledger fans -- you're about to get your first real peek at the dearly departed actor's final big-screen performance in the eye-popping fantasy flick 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.'

Though Ledger tragically passed away before completing his part, director Terry Gilliam famously tapped Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to play different incarnations of Ledger's character so that the show might go on.

Go on it did ... and now, at long last, the 'Parnassus' international trailer has arrived, courtesy of Yahoo UK (the movie has yet to be picked up for U.S. distribution), to offer a glimpse at Ledger's whimsical final turn as "Imaginarium Tony," a charismatic loner who helps Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) in his quest to win back his daughter's soul from the devil. Watch the trailer below, then let us know what you think.

Golf

Who wants to golf this Sunday? Anybody? Comment suggestions of courses and available times. All are welcome.
