A DThomasReigns Memorial


287200o_medium

It’s a slow offseason here at AP so I found myself going through some archives and old posts. I have not much to offer talking about KC BBQ, I don’t know enough about draft prospects to do a good Mock draft (Although I did a kick ass one over at Mocking the Draft) and I don’t have much insight into ex-kickers or potential Free Agents.

So I was looking at old posts and found myself reading SNF and MNF threads which are my favourite threads in Arrowhead Pride. I don’t generally go in gameday threads but would frequent Sunday or Monday night football threads because generally they were much less confrontational and had a good mix of humour and football talk. One particular AP member would also frequent them, DThomasReigns. DTR was/is one of my favourite members around AP who had the ability to talk football with a mix of humour, emotion and yet not talk over everyone’s head. The big reason he didn’t talk over anyone’s head, is he wasn’t actually smart enough to :)

This particular Fanshot made me ROTF as well as LMAO. Thanks to my 21 year old girlfriend for explaining to me what those meant. This was following the Sunday where Tom Brady threw for 5 TD's in the 2nd freaking quarter.

So, in one of my fifteen fantasy leagues, I had a lineup decision to make this morning. Below is how I completed the largest FAILITUDE in fantasy football history:

Me: Hmmm. Donovan McNabb is on my bench but he is playing the Raiders. He is going to put up massive points.

Common Sense: Dude, you already have Tom Brady starting.

Me: Oh, I know, but the Patriots offense has not been great this year and McNabb is playing the freaking Raiders.

Common Sense: True, but "The Brady" is playing the Titans whose entire secondary is injured…and they are 0-5.

Me: Hey, I just saw the forecast for the game. It is supposed to be heavy rain and windy.

Common Sense: It is Tom Brady.

Me: WAIT! The forecast is now for a heavy, slushy, snowy mix with wind. I’m going with McNabb against the Raiders.

Common Sense: Dude, are you serious? TOM BRADY.

Me: I’m definitely going McNabb today.

Common Sense: DUDE??!!

….20 seconds later

Me: You know, if it is going to be a slushy & windy mess that means the Pats will probably just throw a bunch of little screens when they do pass. Wes Welker won’t be able to juke and cut in that.

Common Sense: No...just stop now.

Me: I really should bench Welker too, besides I can put NYG Steve Smith in his place. He is going to score a ton against the Saints in a shootout.

Me: I’m so awesome. You're seeing this great decision making right?

Common Sense: /snarf

Common Sense: /giggle Huh? Oh yeah, I am seeing it.

Actually maybe the reason he's not around is he's in offseason mode preparing for his 15 freaking fantasy football teams.

I'll end this post with my favourite post of all time. Classic.

Unfortunately DTR hasn’t come by AP for whatever reason, but if you are reading this, we need you back buddy, this is a better place with you.
