Drafting for the Postseason

Don’s Trophy League draft party was tonight for this round of the postseason playoffs.  It was held at one of our favorite pizza joints, Wedgewood Pizza, so my prize was getting a fresh, hot sausage pizza delivered to me after the draft.  I couldn’t wait to hear who he drafted, so I have been waiting …

Grilling Perfection – Traeger

Our favorite meals are grilled – burgers, shish-ka-bobs, chicken, hotdogs, and veggies, just to name a few.  We enjoy cooking for friends and family, and like nothing better than serving up fresh-off-the-grill deliciousness.  Our grilled meals are about to get a whole lot better!  We have been introduced to Traeger, and have never been so …

Saturday Spitballin’ with Andy: Holiday Shenanigans

It’s been a while since I’ve been spitballin’, mostly because of the title.

Hometown Leagues

We have written a lot about the Fantasy Football Experience League, which was an online PPR league.  Don’s hometown trophy league is set up completely differently with its own set of rules.  

Holiday Games

Every few years, the NFL competes with Christmas and New Years leaving us to wonder if the schedule should be changed or if football is part of the holidays.  Thanksgiving and football on TV go hand-in-hand every year in most American homes; hundreds of thousands of fans attend the games instead of being at home …

It’s Prime Time Now!

We have watched Jamie Careway’s Prime Time dominate the Pro Football Hall of Fame Fantasy Football Experience League all season.  Prime Time was nearly impossible to beat with a record of 13-2, and Sunday night he pulled off a final win over Booger Holler Mudpuppies to claim the League Championship.  

Some Weeks Are a Bust

Our house looks like Santa Claus dumped his sleigh here – we are wrapping presents, making homemade candy, and addressing Christmas cards.  We always have good intentions to get ready for Christmas early, but we usually have last minute shopping and projects.  However, Christmas preparations came to a complete halt today at 12:50!  One of …
