RUH ROH!!!

I have to share a pick entry email from one of the weeks... not necessarily this week. (I'll keep it as Chonkfidential as possible)...

Entry sent prior to race by unnamed team: 

Kurt Busch, #78

And if Kyle Busch wins, I will say that you f*cked it up and that I really chose him.  I mean, it's an easy mistake to make - Kurt looks like Kyle and 78 looks so similar to 18.  Anyone could screw it up…even a propeller-hat-spinning computer guy.  No offense.


Commish email reply:  So Vickers?


Unnamed Team day after race:  Correct.  Brian Vickers.


Good Times... It is truly awesome being commissioner of this league.  No offense taken at all.. I am a propeller hat kind of guy,,, 

The year I got involved with the league (2006), I was a co-owner of Rusty Truck's team.. the year he won with very little or no help from me, but we won.  The next year, Fat Penguin was born... halfway through that year, when I knew I had no chance I started sending my picks into the then new commish Rusty Truck this way:

Fat Penguin weekly pick:

-----> F*ck it 24 - Jeff Gordon, -----> F*ck it 48 - Jimmie Johnson-----> F*ck it 15 - Clint Bowyer

and so on and so on... the idea was it didn't matter what I thought for the week, NASCAR would happen as it felt like it should happen.. even if Gordon should have won... NASCAR would do what it wanted and logic would get thrown out the window.  F*ck it.... that's why 9 months of frustration is a perfect name of the league.

Why Fat Penguin?
It's a redneck pick up line... you walk up to your target and say, "fat penguin"... she'll look at you funny, but that won't stop you as you repeat, "fat penguin'... she'll then say, "what is fat penguin???"  You then say, "I just wanted to say something that would break the ice."  A double shooter with a wink will pretty much seal the proverbial deal... you are welcome.... Rowdy, replace the she'll with a he'll and you're all set.  LOL!


Why did you pick your team name??? Send me the story and I'll try to share with the group as we go...

A small tribute to past champions... Where did some of these guys go??? Let's get them back if you are still in contact with them.  Redneck Racing... You're Just Not Good Enough... Under Par... Team 33... A- Game.... Luzr2win.... Awesome team names, but... Where the F*ck did you guys go??? 

Greg, Chris, Ray, Scott, Jeff, Gary, Jeff: cheers to you for being a Champion and still being here!  

BACK TO THE FUTURE:

Don't look now, but the commish has risen into the 2nd place money spot for I'm sure a very brief moment... but I'll take it!!! The top three spots did not change otherwise... but 13 teams are less than 100 points out of first place.  A week ago there were 12 within 100, but the point is A LOT of TEAMS ARE STILL IN IT!!!  Rowdy was 120 out last week and 89 points out this week.. 30ish point swing mfers!!!  Save your drivers for the Chase or go balls to the wall early to try to make up spots and get back into the mix??? Decisions, Decisions... Whatever your strategy... Good luck to all... especially Fat Penguin.
