It has been a long hard battle my fellow Team TSTers. What began in the first week of the season as the first ever NFL Weekly Picks against the point spread (which we won by the way!), culminated with a postseason Fantasy Football challenge.
Guys, we absolutely trashed the competition. After winning the Weekly Picks contest in the final week of the season, we moved into the Fantasy Football challenge against the second, third and fourth place finishers. Ryan, Mike D, Brick Top and Team TST met for a post season Fantasy Football draft. Even though I took DCRamFan's $27.37 bribe to take Drew Brees with the first overall draft pick, things worked out very well indeed. Sergey606, LARams1968 and I picked players during the playoffs and we kicked Ryan Van Bibber and evil hoards butts! We carried a 62.64 point lead into the Super Bowl. Thanks to a low scoring game, we held off the competition to win the championship. Weeping tears of joy, followed by running up and down my street screaming - WE WON!!! - and a short trip to visit the local law enforcement headquarters for a few minutes, I returned to my home to write this historic missive.
I'm not sure what the prize is that Ryan plans to give us, but I'm sure it's something like free airfare, hotel and expenses to the London Rams game for ALL members of TST... or a cookie to be split a few thousand ways... If it's the trip to London, his henchmen have to stay home and fill the comment threads till we get back. Ryan also had a side bet with me. The loser had to pose for a "Delocated" ad. Ryan knew he was going to lose, so he did the ad that we have been seeing on TST's front page for the last few days. Way to honor a bet Ryan! Though you may want to think about boxers, work on the old "six-pack" Abs and hit a tanning salon... 3k bet me "a ka-jillion dollars", so I'm expecting a check any day now.
Have a look at the final results after the break... CONGRATULATIONS TEAM TST!!
