"Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending�" --Homer, The Odyssey "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." --Vincent T. Lombardi "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." --Henry David Thoreau Post-Game Ritual: Call the opposing owner for the current week and trash their team's miniscule score. Call next week's opponent to issue dire warnings about the coming thrashing, and inquire if they would like to save themselves the humiliation and concede in advance. Favorite Players:
