Pigskin and crazy pills

First the tornado sirens, then 12 hours later, snow. I like this place. It makes travelling difficult and picking out clothes a little challenging, but it's rarely boring.

Tonight's Monday Night Football is very very important to me. Not just because two of the NFL's best teams (Indy and Pittsburgh) are squaring off, but my fantasy team (in the NUFFLE league), the Manhattan Pretty Birds, are currently 16 points down against the undefeated Aircap Aviators. There may be no stopping the Avs in their quest for the championship, but I'll be more than content to give them a loss. That's all. Just a loss. Going into tonight, all the Avs have played, and the Pretty Birds only have one player in the game. Fortunately, that one player is Peyton Manning. To get sixteen points he'll need a good combo of touchdowns (6 pts) and/or passing yards (30 yds = 1 pt). So if he throws for, say, three touchdowns (not unheard of) or 480 yards (that may be a bit unrealistic) or a healthy combination (one TD and 300 yards), we're in good shape. Assuming he doesn't get picked, which'd eat into his point total. Fret.

In better/worse/different news, tomorrow I get some teeth torn off or something. I dunno. I know it's dentistry. I know I'm going to be out for it. I've got a Valium to take tonight and a...er, Triazolam for tomorrow morning. So watching football tonight will be...entertaining. (Oh, awesome wiki write-up on Triazolam: Questions exist about its safety because it has a fairly narrow therapeutic window. Also, some have suggested that it causes hallucinations, amnesia, paranoia and verbal and physical aggression. So it should go pretty much undetected in me, then.)

I don't think I've met them as well. They're co-workers (or the favorite Internet typo cow-orkers) of Cory. There was talk of a NUFFLE get together one post season. I'd already left Wichita, but they were schedule it when a bunch of us were visiting Wichita. Nothing came of it.

I tried to logon after reading your comment and received a page stating they are performing server maintenance, try again later. Must be fixing the error you noticed.

Here's what happened to me.

Interesting that we all had byes. Another thing I noticed is that all the players were referred to by their first names.
