MasterCard “Timeline”

· Comment

Nicely done.

Mas­ter­Card spot by MacLaren McCann in Toronto “cuts” through the clut­ter in the most lit­eral sense of the word because of its focus on the pain, sac­ri­fice and human­ity behind every true sports icon. A hockey legend’s many sur­gi­cal scars from his play­ing days trace a hum­bling “time­line” across his skin. At the end, the player sim­ply sits in the locker room alone, a poignant image of a man who earned his acco­lades by pay­ing the painful price many times and always skat­ing back onto the ice for more. It’s Bobby Orr, but he’s never ID’d, imply­ing that his hard-earned achieve­ments out­live the fleet­ing fame. Besides, in Canada, they’ll know who he is.

Add Insult to My Injury — Bernard Pollard Fan Club T-Shirt

· Comment

As if grown men (like me) every­where in Fan­tasy Foot­ball land haven’t suf­fered enough… Believe Merch has designed a t-shirt com­mem­o­rat­ing Bernard Pollard’s infa­mous hit on Tom Brady this past Sun­day. Not to men­tion, they were kind enough to add a small bio on him and why the tee came about:

Bernard Karmell Pol­lard (born Decem­ber 23, 1984 in Fort Wayne, Indi­ana) is an Amer­i­can foot­ball safety for the Kansas City Chiefs in the National Foot­ball League. He was drafted in the sec­ond round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Pol­lard played col­lege foot­ball at Pur­due Uni­ver­sity. Pol­lard has been dubbed “The Bonecrusher” for his hard hits and tackles.

On Sep­tem­ber 7, 2008, Pol­lard was involved in a play that ended with New Eng­land Patri­ots quar­ter­back Tom Brady being taken off the field with a knee injury and not return­ing for the rest of the game. It was later revealed that Pollard’s hit on Brady most likely has ended the quarterback’s season.

The shirt is avail­able on red or white for $19.99. You may go to their prod­uct page by click­ing here.

Bas­tards! Good one =)

The Agony of a First Pick Going Down

Tom Brady Out for the 2008 Sea­son due to season-ending knee injury.

There’s noth­ing harder and more ago­niz­ing than see­ing your first pick go down, get injured and be ruled out for the sea­son in Fan­tasy Foot­ball. It sucks. After pick­ing Tom Brady as my first pick, 11th in the Draft Order out of 12 peo­ple, and get­ting Randy Moss in the wrap around and my sec­ond pick, I thought I got the best I can per round at the time. But alas, that’s Fan­tasy Foot­ball for you, noth­ing is cer­tain and it can either be reward­ing or painful depend­ing on which side you are on.

So what’s next, well I will prob­a­bly try to pickup Cas­sel like every­one and their mom­mas are doing. I have a bad waiver pri­or­ity (10 out of 12) so I need to have a plan-B and plan-C just in case I don’t get that piece of the puz­zle. Other than the Raider’s O-line suck­ing vs. Denver’s Defense last night, JaMar­cus Rus­sell did a fairly good job for his first start of the sea­son. How­ever, it isn’t enough to ex me as hav­ing him as my start­ing QB.

Although, it is still early in the sea­son, and I have hopes for my Fan­tasy Foot­ball team to still make it to play­offs. I have played with a team that was on the very bot­tom out of 12 teams, and still man­aged to place and get dough at the end. This one just sucks as its caus­ing me at least 20pts. per week—Brady’s aver­age pro­jected Fan­tasy points.

Oh well, c’est la vie.

PS. I found out that Cas­sel went to Chatsworth HS, and played for the Chan­cel­lors. I guess its a sign mwahaha…
