"Oh What a Night"

Poppopx7 — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 19:21:17 GMT

It was a night that will be long remembered in this town. The event that took place on the Boondocker's property will probably put this little town of Williamsburg, Pennsylvania on the map, and it's all because of Harvey. He's only been here for about 16 days or so, but so much as happened since his arrival. God only knows what will happen as Harvey spends more time here writing his articles. It's been one thing after another, but one thing for sure, Harvey has been a hugh hit.

Multitudes of people, and creatures from near, and far flocked into this place last night to witness the fight between Roscoe the Rooster, and Harvey. Crowd control was a major concern, but I was amazed how well behaved everyone was. The property is large, but it couldn't hold all those in attendance. The adjoining fields were packed out with onlookers. They were in the trees, on top of their vehicles, and anywhere else they could find a place to see this spectacle. When Harvey climbed into that ring, and was introduced to the crowd, they went nuts. Their thunderous roars were almost as shocking as the hugh explosion that took place yesterday morning.

After all that has happened to Harvey, he looked well. He was smiling from ear to ear, loving all this attention, and adoration. Harvey was ready! Roscoe didn't look so well when he climbed into the ring. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. I don't think he was expecting this event to take place. Betty Jo Boondocker didn't look well either as she entered the ring with Roscoe. I'm sure we'll find out later what was going on with her, and the rooster.

The two met in the center of the ring with the referee. When the instructions were given, and the ref told them to shake hands, and come out fighting, I swear that the rooster's legs buckled, and Betty Jo looked like she was going to faint. It was to late now, this was going to happen.

The bell rang, out came Harvey dancing, bobbing, and weaving. Roscoe half walked, half stumbled into the center of the ring. He wasn't strutting now, he was looking for a place to hide. Harvey was on that rooster like a duck on a bug. The crowd went ballistic as Harvey threw punches like a well oiled machine. Roscoe tried to run, but Harvey pinned him against the ropes. You could tell that Harvey was on a mission.

I glanced over at Betty Jo to see what her reaction was. Jimbo Boondocker had set her on a stool, and was fanning her. She wasn't taking this very well at all. The hornblower, Roscoe's buddy, had already passed out at ringside, although no one around was concerned. All eyes were on Harvey. How the rooster survived the first round is beyound me. Roscoe's crown had been hammered on, his beak had been punched in, and his feathers were all over the ring. Either the ref would stop this fight, or Roscoe's corner would be throwing the towel in. Neither one of those things happened.

Round two started with the rooster staggering into the center of the ring. Harvey was already there, and picked up where he had left off, right on the end of the rooster's beak. Harvey was going to end this thing right here, right now. With one quick, hard right to Roscoe's body, the remaining feathers flew off, and the rooster with the red boxing gloves crumbled. It was over, Harvey was the winner. Camera's flashed as the referee raised Harvey's arm into the air. "Run Through the Jungle" rang out through the night. This was going to a celebration of all celebrations.

Georges' Gorilla's Fantasy football Team lifted Harvey into the air while the crowd was chanting, HAR-VEY, HAR-VEY, HAR-VEY. Coach Whitey was grinning from ear to ear, and Me Too Piggy was going nuts. The entire staff of "The Espenblog Times" were in the ring with Harvey. I'm sure Nick, and Mick will have a report on the post fight festivities.

No monkeys were injured in this contest. One rooster was knocked senseless, but is expected to make a full recovery. One rooster, the Hornblower, just plain passed out, he'll recover also. "Oh What a Night."

Gorilla's Hold on to Win Championship

Poppopx7 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:29:21 GMT

It was a long, nerve-racking day for Nan's Nimrods, and George's Gorilla's. The best of the best squared off in one of the most exciting championship games of the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League history. The champion wasn't crowned until the last play of Sunday night's game.

When the curtain came down, and the dust finally settled, there stood the Gorilla's holding their heads high, and giving off a sigh of relief. With the trophy in hand they paraded around the field giving their avid fan's high fives, while at the same time doing the "Gorilla Shuffle," and grunting the "Gorilla Grunt." All the Gorilla fan's were celebrating right along with the team. Animals, and humans getting down with the "Gorilla Shuffle," and doing the "Gorilla Grunt." Even I myself, Ms Ernestine, was "gettin down" with the fan's, and the big boys. As far as I know, they are still celebrating as I write this article.

Harvey, the GM of the team was brought from his hut with 2 minutes left in the game. At the sound of the gun Harvey went wild. Still wrapped in his bandages, and splints, he jumped, and screamed like a monkey that was on fire. It was a sight to behold as the Gorilla's celebrated their victory.

Coach Whitey, and Pop Pop were jumping, and hollering like two little school kids in an ice cream factory. After the two got themselves somewhat together they approached Gertrude Doflicky with outstretched hands where to my surprise, Gertrude laid her shotgun to the side, and embraced both Coach Whitey, and Pop Pop. Gertrude, and all the Nimrods congratulated the whole Gorilla Team with handshakes, and hugs. I never thought that Gertrude Doflicky had a heart until last night.

Gertrude said, "This was a hard fought game, and the Gorilla's came out on top. This team is truely the Champions of the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League. We gave it our best shot, but in the end we came up short. We'll be back next season." With that she picked up her shotgun, waved to the crowd, and walked off the field. The crowd gave her a standing ovation.

Coach Whitey said, "After 16 games I'm glad it's over. I don't think I could go through another game like this one. The Nimrods battled us all the way, and this game could have went either way. I sure am glad that time ran out."

The other teams in the league are already getting mentally prepared for next season. I'm sure each, and everyone of them are writing down their wish list for next season. I'm going to interview each owner, and get their thoughts on this years play, and their future plans. It should be interesting to hear what they have to say.

To the Gorilla's: You have fought through adversity all year long, and when it counted the most, you came through. Congratulations on winning the 2008 Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League Championship. It was truely a great game.

Final score; Gorilla's 134, Nimrods 124

Nimrods Favored to Win Championship

Poppopx7 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 22:05:57 GMT

The day of the big game is finally here. This is the day that the Gorilla's will faceoff against the Nimrods for the 2008 Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League Championship. By the time the last game is played tonight we will have a champion.

Gertrude Doflicky has been talking smack to Pop Pop all week long. This is Gertrude's second trip to the Championship Game, and she wants this one to count. Gertrude was beaten by Missy's Madmen two years ago in the big game, and she is determined to come away with the trophy this time. I'm afraid she might go over the edge if she loses this one. She has held several closed door meetings this week probably threatening her team with physical damage if they don't win.

The Gorilla's on the other hand have been low keyed, and somewhat laid back. Coach Whitey has insisted that Harvey stays at his hut, and away from the team. Any contact between the two has been done over the phone. Whitey has also enforced a "no writing period" issued by Pop Pop to Harvey. Harvey can only write after the big game is over. I can see that neither Pop Pop, Whitey, or the team believes that Harvey is their lucky charm. Pop Pop has said, "We'll just keep Harvey under lock, and key until this thing is over. If we win, it will be the results of the coach, and the team, not because Harvey was on the sidelines.

This is going to be a fantastic game. Both teams have their lineups set, and are waiting for 1:00 p.m. The crowds are gathering, the team colors are flying, and the fan's are jawing at one another already. In the locker rooms the player's are watching TV, working on their computers, reading, and listening to music. The stage is set for the final game of the season between two teams that have fought their way to the top. Only one will emerge the champion. The other one will go home where every other team is. I don't think I'll try to pick a winner for this game. This time I'm going to sit back, and enjoy the fireworks.

Nimrods, Gorilla's in Championship Game

Poppopx7 — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:50:32 GMT

Nan's Nimrods will square off against George's Gorilla's in the 2008 Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League Championship Game later on this week.

The Nimrods held off the Lion's, and the Gorilla's defeated the Shaker's to get to the big game. The final score was Nimrods 152, Jefferys' Lion's 123. The Gorilla's beat the Shaker's by the score of 157 to 118. Congratulations to Gertrude Doflicky, and Pop Pop on a job well done.

This will be the Mom Mom, Pop Pop Bowl. Since these two have been married for over 40 years, it will be interesting to see if their marriage will survive after this game. Pop Pop has already said, "If she leaves me, I'm going with her." This is going to be interesting.

I watched as Mom Mom, and Pop Pop set at the kitchen table this morning. There was an air of tension surrounding the two as they discussed the upcoming game. The conversation started out alright, but as time went on they were both telling each other what the one was going to do to the other.

Mom Mom, known as Gertrude Doflicky, said that she was going to lay out Gorilla's all over the field. Pop Pop countered by telling Gertrude that the Gorilla's were going to feed her Nimrods to the pigs at her pig farm. The Gorilla's would tear the Nimrods up in little pieces, and throw them in the feed trough. To think that this is only Tuesday.

I think that Pop Pop should be very careful of what he says lest Gertrude levels that shotgun at him. Remember, she held her team hostage in the locker room early in the season when they lost a game. Imagine what she's capable of in a big game like this. Maybe Pop Pop should go stay with the team until this thing is finally over. If Mom Mom wins, he can come back right away, but if the Gorilla's win it might be safe to come back home sometime in June or July.

I'll keep you posted on how things are going at Mom Mom, and Pop Pop's house this week. Even though Christmas is only two days away, neither one of them will be merry. Mom Mom said, "Bring it on big boy. Give it your best shot, because you only get one. Gertrude, and the Nimrods will be eating Gorilla Burger's when this is all over." I saw Pop Pop walk away chuckling to himself. Pop's can't say too much, Mom Mom won't feed him.

Results of Poll

Poppopx7 — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:32:43 GMT

Here are the results of the poll we were taking pertaining to the disappearance of Harvey. 25% said Harvey had been kidnapped. 25% said he was in a zoo. 25% said he was visiting relatives, 25% suggested that Harvey had been taken to an experimental lab.

Well, here's the results: Harvey had been kidnapped, and was going to be sold to an experimental lab. Due to the pressure that "Nosy the Bloodhound," and "Frankie the Mouse" put on his captors, they decided that it would be best to eliminate Harvey once, and for all. They figured no Harvey, no problem.

The account of Harvey's ordeal will be written about by Pop Pop, Fluffy, Ms Ernestine, and even Harvey himself. Of course Harvey's version is going to be somewhat different from the actual account, but then again, we're talking about Harvey.

Thanks to all those who voted, and thanks for stopping by!

Excitement Riding High

Poppopx7 — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:32:20 GMT

Round 2 has started for the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League, and the tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. The two winner's of this weekend's playoff games will face off next week for the 2008 Championship. With games having been played both Thursday night, and Saturday night 3 of the 4 teams have points on the board.

Going into today's games the Nimrods are leading the Lion's 15-0, and the Shaker's are up on the Gorilla's by the score of 43-7. For the first time in this league's history, no one is talking smack. It seems as if each team is concentrating on their lineups. This is for all the marbles, and picking the correct lineup is so important. Even when you think you have it right, something could go wrong.

That's what the Gorilla's are hoping for when it comes to the Booty Shaker's. The Shaker's have a stacked lineup, and if the Gorilla's are going to win this game, they need a real dose of luck to fall down upon them. The Gorilla's running backs are banged up, and they won't know which ones to play until gametime. Even then they don't know what might happen as the game goes a long. One, or both running backs could get hurt, and out they go. Coach Whitey is a nervous wreck this morning to say the least.

To give you an example of how this works, Coach Whitey didn't play Mason, a wide receiver for the Ravens last night. Whitey figured with Dallas playing at home, and having a decent defence the Cowboys would probably shut Mason down. Also, take in to consideration the fact that Mason is so banged up with his back, and shoulder that he struggles to get back on his feet everytime he gets hit. Whitey decided to keep him out of the lineup for those reasons, and lo, and behold, he ends up producing 18 points. That's the way things can go for you, and this is the only shot you have left to get to the 2008 Championship Game next week.

The Nimrods, and the Lion's are pretty evenly matched up, although I give a slight edge to the Nimrods. One thing for sure, Gertrude's team will come out with shotguns leveled, and the Lion's will hit the field roaring. This one is going to be interesting.

Now that Harvey is back, although he sure is a mess, the Gorilla's are inspired. They are going to need more than inspiration, they are going to need points, and lots of them to beat the Booty Shaker's. It's only a matter of time until we all know who is going to the 2008 Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League Championship Game next week.

I'll have some things to say about Harvey's return in my other section entitled, "Ms Ernestine Rants."

Lion's Hold Off Charge

Poppopx7 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:10:32 GMT

Jefferys' Lion's held off a Redskin charge to advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs. I really didn't think that the Lion's could hold out, but they did. The final score was 113 to 108.

Jeff's Redskin's just didn't have what it takes to put the Lion's away last night. They must have run out of arrows, and tomahawks in making the last charge. The Redskin's horses must have given out, because at the end of the game, the Redskin's were seen running off over the hill on foot. Now the Redskin's can return to their teepees for a long winter's nap.

It looks like the Lion's are going to square off against Nan's Nimrods in round 2. Gertrude Doflicky has those Lion's in her sights, and her team will be ready to play. Don't forget that the Nimrods are the Div.1 Champs, so the Lion's are going to have to claw their way through this upcoming game. I, Ms Ernestine, congratulate the Lion's for holding on, and defeating the Redskin's. A job well done.

The Gorilla's will have to face the Booty Shaker's in round 2, and it looks as if the Gorilla's will have their hands full. Coach Whitey is going over his game plan as we speak. The Gorilla's are going to need a little luck in this one, but someone said Harvey will be on the sidelines for the game. That should boost the Gorilla's in a big way.

Pop Pop has informed us that he will have Harvey back here at headquarter's any day now. They ran into a slight problem when Pop Pop arrived to meet with Nosy the Bloodhound, and "Frankie the Mouse." All of that news will be coming to you later so stay tuned.

Thanks again for stopping by "The Espenblog Times," and we want you to leave your comments. Take a second, and become a subscriber to this crazy broadcast. It doesn't cost you a dime, and it doesn't even hurt. Besides, we want you to become as crazy as the rest of us. Bring your imagination, and join us here at "The Espenblog Times."

Shaker's Advance, Rejects Out

Poppopx7 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:45:34 GMT

For the second week in a row the Booty Shaker's have beaten the Delaware Rejects, but this time the Shaker's ended the Rejects season. The Rejects go home, while the Shaker's move onto Round 2 in the playoffs.

The Booty Shaker's took the lead, and never looked back. The question is, can the Shaker's continue at this pace through the second round? Now the Shaker's will matchup with either the Gorilla's, or the Nimrods in the next round. Which ever team the Shaker's have to play, it's going to depend on a lot of factors to get a win. Coach Whitey said, "When you get to this part of the season, you need a little luck on your side to get you through."

The Shaker's have been a high scoring team as of late, and out of the four teams that played this weekend, they seem to be the team to beat, but that can all change in a heartbeat. Players get hurt, defences stop your runnning, and passing games, or your defence falls apart. I guess that's what makes the entire season so exciting. You prepare for the best, but sometimes the best isn't good enough. Moon rocks fall from the sky, and hit you upside the head.

The Shaker's are to be congratulated for their victory over the Rejects. They were celebrating by shaking booties all over the place last night. I hope no one got hurt by all that motion. The final score was Shaker's 168, Rejects 131.

The game between Jeff's Redskin's, and Jeffery's Lion's is still up for grabs. The score stands at Lions 112, the Redskin's 98. The Lion's have played all of their players, but the Redskin's have one left to play tonight. Having one of the best running backs in the NFL playing tonight makes the chances of the Redskin's even better. If Cleveland can shut down the Eagle's running game the Lion's may have a chance to hang on, but I doubt if the Brownies can stop Brian Westbrooke.

The Lions' Cheerleader's are standing tall, rooting for their team. Jeffery, the owner, is still hoping that his Lion's can hold off the last charge of the Redskin's. In case you don't know, this playoff game is being played by father, and son. Whichever way this turns out it won't be over. Those two will be talking smack from now until next season, and then it will start all over again. Mom is the owner of Missy's Madmen, and you all know she is a loon. How would you like to live in that household with those football nut's? I sure am glad they all love one another. May the best team win, but it's never over!

This Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League is going into the semi-finals, and it's anyone's guess who will win the championship. I'll keep you posted as to what's happening so keep coming back to "The Espenblog Times."

Crumbpacker's League Playoffs Have Begun

Poppopx7 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 04:00:42 GMT

The games have started, and by tonight we will all know who advances to round 2. The Gorilla's, and the Nimrods have a bye this week, but the Redskin's, and the Lion's are fighting it out right now. As of this writing Jefferys' Lion's were beating Jeff's Redskin's by the score of 82 to 54. The Lion's are hot right now, but the Redskin's keep charging. I look for this one to be pretty close, but anything can happen in the playoffs.

The other game being played now is the Shaker's and the Rejects. Although the Shaker's are leading by the score of 96 to 41, the Rejects have plenty of players playing in the late games. This one too will probably be very close.

Only two of these teams will advance, and the winner's will play the Gorilla's, and the Nimrods to decide who will go to the Super Bowl. Nerves are on edge around here this afternoon, smack talk is flowing, and eyes are glued to the TV, and the computer. I'll keep you posted throughout the day!

Nimrods, Gorilla's Win Division Titles

Poppopx7 — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:45:51 GMT

It took the final week of the regular season to decide who was going into the playoffs in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy football League. Six teams will now battle it out to see who will be the 2008 Crumbpacker's Champ.

That crazy Gertrude Doflicky, and her bunch, Nan's Nimrods, won the Division 1 title by beating up on the Lion's, and winning the title over the Delaware Rejects. George's Gorilla's not only pulled out a win, but they captured the Division 2 Title also. The Nimrods finished with a 9-5 record, while the Gorilla's finished 8-6.

Both the Nimrods, and the Gorilla's have a 1st round bye going into the playoffs this weekend. That means that Jeffery's Lions will matchup with Jeff's Redskin's, and Greer's Booty Shaker's will play the Delaware Rejects in the first round. This weekend is going to be exciting, and the smack talk has already begun.

Me Too Piggy is having a hard time making picks for these games, because he knows that anything can happen when these teams play. He's sitting over there in the corner scratching his head.

I congratulate Nan's Nimrods, and George's Gorilla's for winning their respective divisions. I believe the shotgun that Gertrude carries has something to do with her winning the Div. 1 Title. That woman scares me. As for the Gorilla's who have been through some difficult times this season, I wish them well in the playoffs. Coach Whitey, and all the Gorilla's are elated that Harvey has been found, although they don't know what condition Harvey is in. Only Pop Pop, Nosy the Bloodhound, and Herman, "Frankie the Mouse" knows for sure, but word will be coming out soon as to his condition, and his whereabouts. The good news is that Harvey has been found, and that has fired up the Gorilla's. They are ready for the playoffs.

I'll be sure to let you all know how the other teams are doing that didn't make the playoffs. Also, I'm in the process of taking down the team logo's, and putting up the real pictures of these crazy people that make up the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League. This is Ms Ernestine saying, "Goodbye for now, but I won't be gone long."

Owner Flies Off the Handle

Poppopx7 — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:58:31 GMT

As I was reporting the playoff situation in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League in yesterday's article, I knew I would be hearing from a certain owner before the day was over. None other than the owner of Missy's Madmen called me just before noon. She was livid!

Now you need to remember that this girl owns the Madmen. Just the name of the team itself should tell you that her basket isn't quite full. I still believe that her, and her team needs medication, but that's just my opinion. I'll just throw this in as a side note, but all the other owner's in the league thinks the same thing. I have to give her credit, she is quite passionate about her fantasy football.

My phone rings, and she starts on me. "Why do you say I'm out of the running for the playoffs?" I tried to respond, but she cut me off by saying, "I am going to the playoffs regardless of what you say." She had to catch her breath so I jumped right in. "I'm sure you are going to the playoffs, but not as a team. You are going as a spectator."

Oh boy! That was definitely the wrong thing to say. Off she went again blaming me for picking on her. Telling me that I was rooting for everyone else in the league but her. She then explained to me that she could still make the playoffs if several things would happen. If the Redskin's, the Shaker's, and the Rascal's all lost this week, and she won, she would be in. That would put all those teams, including her's, at 6-8. She would then gain the sixth spot because she would have the most points scored out of all those other 6-8 teams.

You know what? She's absolutely right, and in looking over the matchups for this final week, she just might pull it off. It has to go down exactly the way she stated it though. If any of those teams win, she's toast. I must admit, she's a fiesty gal. As I listened to her I couldn't help but laugh. That was another bad thing to do. She heard me laughing

Off she went again. She said, "Ms Ernestine, I hear you laughing at me, and I'm only going to tell you this one time. I am sharpening my stick as we speak, and I am going to use my stick to hang you over the fire, and roast your butt for my Christmas dinner." Ouch! That's four times she has told me that now. I tried to explain to her that I wasn't laughing at her, I was laughing with her. She replied in a very cold, deep voice, "I wasn't laughing," and with that she hung up.

Oh this Crumbpacker's bunch is something. I sure am glad that they love each other, because it would really be ugly if they didn't. The guys, and girls in this league really play rough. I will say this to Missy, the owner of Missy's Madmen: It would be nice to see it go down the way you described it, and I, Ms Ernestine, truly wishes you luck in this final game of the season, but I still believe that you, and your team needs some sort of medication. You, and yours are just to rung up!

This picture says it all. I believe your screws are too tight. Please have them checked out.

Rejects, Nimrods Clinches Playoff Spot

Poppopx7 — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:18:04 GMT

Week 13 in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League proved to be an exciting one. One of the best games ever was between Nan's Nimrods, and the Delaware Rejects, with the Nimrods breaking an 8 game winning streak by the Rejects. The final score was Nimrods 155, Rejects 148.

I, Ms Ernestine, knew that if anyone was going to break that winning streak, it would be done by the Nimrods. Gertrude Doflicky, the owner of the Nimrods, is an absolute no-nonsense individual that means business. Her, and that shotgun she carries around seems to have an impact on the team. The Nimrods closeout their regular season play against the Lion's which will probably go to the playoffs also.

In other league action, George's Gorilla's won a much needed game over the Rocker's. That puts the Gorilla's in first place in Division 2, and it looks af if it's going to go down to the wire for the Gorilla's. They close out their season with the Rascal's, and a win would put the Gorilla's in the playoffs. The last time these two teams squared off, the Gorilla's won by one point. With so much on the line I look for those Little Rascal's to be a handful for the Gorilla's. Coach Whitey, and the team, are dedicated to win this game for Harvey, their GM who has been missing for over a month.

The Madmen, and the Rocker's are out of the running for the playoffs, but we congratulate them on their season. It seems that things just didn't work out for either team, and they just couldn't put it altogether. The owner of the Madmen really has me worried. I believe she blames me, Ms Ernestine, for her dismal season. I have to worry about finding Harvey, keep an eye on that Gertrude Doflicky that runs a pig farm, stay up on all the current happenings, and look over my shoulder making sure the owner of the Madmen doesn't sneak up on me with her stick. She said she's going to put me on a stick and roast me over the fire for Christmas dinner. I'm becoming so stressed that I think I'm losing weight.

Madmen Score 209 Points Against Gorilla's

Poppopx7 — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 19:50:20 GMT

Missy's Madmen were just too much to handle for the Gorilla's yesterday. Coach Whitey said, "There wasn't a team in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League that could have beaten that crazy bunch yesterday. The Madmen not only beat us like they owned us, but they set a new scoring record in the league. It was impossible to stop them."

The Madmen were on a 4 game skid, and in the cellar in Division 2. After their fourth straight loss last week, the owner said "We are going to win our last 3 games, and make the playoffs." Of course no one pays the owner of the Madmen much attention when she spouts off, because everyone knows she needs a high dosage of medication for her condition, which she doen't take. Between her, and Gertrude Doflicky, the owner of Nan's Nimrods, I don't know which one is the worse off.

"I'm not sure if she will make the playoffs, but if she said she will, we just let her talk," said the owner of Lori's Little Rascal's. She continued, "The other owner's just stay out of her way when she get's like this." Today she is probably flying high with her victory over the Gorilla's. I have no doubt that she will be calling me today to tell me her plans for winning the championship. I'll take her call, write down what she says, and even write the next article about her plans of becoming the 2008 Champion of the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League. I'll report what she has to say, even though the owner of Missy's Madmen has told me that she's going to put me, Ms Ernestine, on a stick, and roast me over a fire for Christmas.

I already have enough to worry about with Harvey's disappearance. Now I have to keep looking over my shoulder to see if that crazy lady is sneaking up behind me with a stick. I'm trying to keep my fat out of the fire. Oh well, this is Ms Ernestine saying goodbye for now, but I won't be gone for long.

Rejects Continue Winning Streak, Rascal's Tame Lion's

Poppopx7 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:01:50 GMT

The Delaware Rejects keep their winning streak alive by winning over the Madmen for their seventh straight victory. The Rejects record now stands at 8-3 with three games to be played in the regular season. It looks as if the Rejects are a shore bet to secure a playoff berth, and possibly a 1st round bye. They have squeaked out a win by the smallest of margins the last three games, but a win is a win. My hat's off to the Delaware Rejects for having such a great run this season.

Lori's Little Rascal's tamed the big, bad Lion's yesterday to stay alive for a playoff spot. I thought the Rascal's were out of the running the way they had been playing lately, but it seems as if they have received a new breath of life. The "Nut Hut" gang, lead by their owner, could surprise everyone in the Division 2 race.

With the Madmen losing to the Rejects, they now occupy the cellar all by themselves in Division 2. With their record now being 3-8, with three games to go, they have no chance to make it in. The Madmen play the Gorilla's next week so they could end up being the spoilers. We'll see what happens.

It seems as if Gertrude Doflicky's shot gun did her no good against the Redskin's this week. The tomahawks, spears, bows, and arrows, and the horses were to much for the Nimrods. Gertrude, and her team run out of ammunition while being overrun by the Redskins.

Alexis' Camp Rocker's put a stop to the Booty Shakers which will help the Gorilla's if they hold their lead over Mike's Nuckingfutjobies. Should the Gorilla's pull an upset against the high scoring Nuckingfutjobies, the Gorilla's will stand in first place all alone in the Division 2 race. That game will be decided tonight.

In all, it looks as if this might go down to the wire. Six teams will make the playoffs in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League. Only two looks as if they are not going to make it thus far. Who will be the other two that get's eliminated? Time will tell. This is Ms Ernestine saying goodbye for now, but I'll be back real soon. Thanks for stopping by "The Espenblog Times."

Top Teams Battling for Playoff Spots in Week 11

Poppopx7 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:28:57 GMT

Week 11 in the Crumbpacker's Fantasy Football League has some teams in a must win situation. With only four games left in the regular season the heat is being turned up on some teams.

The Gorilla's play the Nuckingfutjobies this week, and it is a must win for the Gorilla's. Although the Gorilla's won the last outing between these two, circumstances have changed the dynamics of the Gorilla's. With the disappearance of Harvey last week, the Gorilla's seem more worried about Harvey than their game with the Nuckingfutjobies. Coach Whitey is trying to keep the team concentrating on the game at hand, but even he is having a difficult time.

Greer's Booty Shaker's have a must win game with the Redskin's this week. Although the Shaker's won last time out, the Redskin's have regrouped, and are favored to win. A loss to the Shaker's would put them in a very bad position.

We feel certain that the Rascal's, the Madmen, and the Rocker's are not going to make the playoffs this season. Six out of the ten teams will go into the playoffs begiining Week 15. If the playoffs were played today the Rejects, and the Shaker's would have a first round bye. The Nuckingfutjobies, the Nimrods, the Lion's, and the Redskin's would square off to see who would go to the second round. Things can change in a heart beat around this league so we'll see what happens this week. It's getting very tight for some teams to make the playoffs.

I, Ms Ernestine, want to thank you all for being so supportive during our time of stress. We are all very sad over the disappearance of Harvey. Please be on the lookout for him. Notify us immediately if you have any information. I can assure you that there are things developing even as I write this report. You the loyal supporter's of "The Espenblog Times" will be kept up to date as this story continues to unfold. Help us find Harvey!
