Wizards Grab First Win of Season
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by BlairDC.
I’m not an NBA fan usually. Having grown up in North Carolina and being an alumni of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I get my court kicks through college b-ball, preferably my beloved Heels (who won last night!). But when FamousDC was invited to the Wizards-Raptors game last night, even I jumped at the [...]

It’s the final fantasy football rant of the year and I’m as excited to see this crap come to an end as you are. It’s hard on a guy sucking this bad at something week in and week out, just ask the Redskins.After a long season of bad Chris Berman impressions, cheap shots at people [...]

Fantasy Rant Week 16
Posted on 30. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
Very mediocre weekend with not a lot of scoring. No, I’m not talking about being married, but I might as well be. I’ve got some big items to get to so we’re going to make this a Chaz Bono – short on top and fat in the middle. (Second Chaz Bono reference of the year [...]

Fantasy Rant Week 15
Posted on 21. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
You guys are going to have to deal with the fact that I had to write this in less than an hour because I have stuff to do re: Jesus’ birthday. Even chumps like me get vacation. When you gotta go, you gotta go. Let’s get to it: 1. If you’re a Tebow fan [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 14
Posted on 15. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
It is with great sadness that I must announce that I was fired as my fantasy football team’s coach this week amid the continued negative focus on my drafting of Peyton Hillis and Chris Johnson in the first and second round of this year’s draft. After missing the playoffs for the seventh straight year, [...]

Fantasy Rant Week 13
Posted on 09. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
I must start with an apology to all of you who flipped out last week thinking your playoffs had started. I was focusing on one of my leagues with a more extensive than usual playoff period. For those of you who read my rant, cut all of your players to the waiver wire and sent [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 12
Posted on 02. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
I didn’t make the playoffs in my “important” leagues (important = money on the line). Now I have to tell my wife that there’s not going to be Christmas for the family this year. That’s what happens when you put all of your fantasy eggs in a Chris Johnson basket. She’s going to blame [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 10
Posted on 17. Nov, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
I’d like to use my intro for my own two cents on the Penn State Pederast Parable playing out in front of the nation. You gotta know that part of the outrage is being fueled by fans of Penn’s rivals. It’s bad, no doubt, but Michael Jackson didn’t have nearly the righteous indignation [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 9
Posted on 10. Nov, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
We have a big announcement this week here in Fantasy Rant Land. Due to the fact I went to a state school, I’m 45 percent illiterate. So we have an editor now and her name is Meg. While we’re not sure if she throws like a girl, we do know that she is smart, funny [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 8
Posted on 03. Nov, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
The regular NFL season isn’t quite at its official halfway point yet, but your fantasy season is. That means you’re pretty much either done or going to be done soon. How am I so sure about the state of your fantasy season being as bad as I guess it is? Because quality fantasy owners don’t read crap like [...]

Fantasy Football Rant | Week 7
Posted on 26. Oct, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
The overall fantasy production was slightly up this week, but was provided by people you don’t know, don’t have on your team and won’t repeat their performance next week. So… there you go. I don’t have all the questions, but Mr. Trebek has given me the answers. Let’s get started failing: 1. I’m a Broncos [...]

Help Dan Snyder Fuel His Yacht
Posted on 25. Oct, 2011 by nolongerfamous.
We recently reported that Dan Snyder, the lovable owner of the Washington Redskins, purchased a new yacht. Now the City Paper would like folks to know that fueling yachts is far from cheap. It Takes More Than 43,000 Beers to Fill Up the Fuel Tanks on Dan Snyder’s Boat? The real shocker for me during [...]
