The Foils of Fantasy Football

Even though TO and the Dallas Cowboys won the game they had an off-day so who pays?

Pduddy is paying that’s who. Seems Lord of War and Pduddy, master of Halo Combat Evolved on the PC, engaged in a little Fantasy Football side-bet last Friday. LoW wanted to wager souls, for a week, but Pduddy pushed back with the result being that the winner would have the loser at his beck-and-call for the remainder of the week (i.e., after Monday night football). Pduddy was feeling pretty confident in his picks and a fair amount of trash-talk ensued including a Google map complete with schedule and dietary requests. Pduddy was pretty darn confident Lord of War would be making Subway sandwich and yogurt runs for the next four days.

Come Monday morning Pduddy was 30-plus points down but with three players in the Monday night game he was positive he’d close the spread and win the bet. Pduddy boasted that Terrell Owens would likely score at least 3 TDs, run 100 plus yards and that alone would make him the winner. More trash-talk, recommendations to memorize the routes to favorite destinations, preferred toppings, etc. Okami may have helped fuel the fire but it was all in good fun; after all, who doesn’t enjoy a good rivalry on the field of competition?

So today we find that while the Cowboys won Pduddy’s players apparently had the night off. Where was TO in the game, as LoW eloquently pontificates, “upon analyzing the stats --even a KICKER scored more than TO -- relegating him to the poorest scorer of the match.” Now Pduddy is Lord of War’s manservant, an Office ADD Mr. French.
