Monday Morning QB

Ari and I (along with a bunch of other friends) are in the same Fantasy Football League every year. It's a ton of fun, usually I wind up sucking because I am too hungover on Sunday mornings to wake up and remember to look at my team to see if I need to make any changes.

But this year, since I am tied to a computer at work all day, my team is wrapped up and ready to go by Wednesday sometimes Thursday. Plus, I think I am just lucky. (so far anyway)

This week, I played Ari (for the second time this season), and he talked some pretty good trash on Friday...
First he was angry at me:

Ari: i cant believe you picked up donald driver and youre playin me this weekend

me: haa

why?

i needed some help bc next week all my RBs were on a bye

Ari: cause the GB WR i picked up in place of him just hurt himself and now the packers have driver and 2 TEs to throw to and thats it

i went to go pick him up again

searched for his name

and found that you had taken him

A CURSE ON YOUR HOUSE

me: stop that

Ari: too late

how does it feel to know that you'll be my first victory this weekend

me: i doubt that is going to happen

Ari: i dont know... arizona is predicted to score more points than chicago (defense wise
me: and what happened last time chicago was outscored going into the final quarter?

Ari: they blew it

me: um no

i got 50 fantasy points

Ari: yeah, the bears' defense is gonna score 2 TDs every week, i forgot

me: hey you never know

and quite being such an asshole

its not my fault you havent won

Ari: yes it is

cause you took donald driver

and larry fitzgerald is hurt

also your fault

me: i just took driver on mondy

Ari: my RBs only play well on the bench (your fault) and david carr has amassed more fantasy points than tom brady. (definitely your fault)

me: and its your fault bc i wanted fitzgerald

abnd you took him from me at the draft

u suck

Ari: there you go spreadin hate again

me: u are so aggrvating

Ari: :)

You know, sometimes that boy is so lucky that he is my best-friend.

This morning of course the first thing I did was look at my team to see how many points I had.
I did pretty well. My Chicago defense had a great game against San Fran. Now to see how Ari's team is doing. Not great... but he still has Tom Brady and a RB playing tonight. However, he needs to score atleast 100 points to beat me.....
His attitude this morning was very different

Ari: i had a fantasy basketball draft yesterday

i didn't watch much football - i think the sport has betrayed me

me: oye

thats too much for me

lol

Ari: did you see my team's production this past weekend?

47 points so far. granted i have brady and taylor to play tonight, but come on.

me: i wasnt going to bring it up

Ari: that's just embarrassing

something else is at work here... some dark evil force

me: yea your defense didn't help you

i was actually scared by your trash talking

Ari: i mean, i dont even suck

i wish i could suck

i'm looking up at sucking

i'm just terrible

me: i know

Ari: suddenly my office smells like swimming pool

me: i dont even know what to say.
