Corey's Corner - "Stronger"

What's up, readers? Hope everyone is having a great week. Before I jump into my weekly column, I just have to get something off my chest.

 

I was going to spend a good 500 words or so just ripping William Brown for not writing his weekly column and then also for not writing his special weekend edition. I remember last week when he called me the "wizard of the week" and I wanted revenge. Readers, I was going to make William "Chip" Brown, Will's Wizard of the Week. Very harsh, I know.

 

Well, after contemplating, I am not going to rip Will. I have nothing respect for that man and he has earned it through his ability to handle intense zombie apocalypse situations and crushing 400+ yard drives against the legend, Robert Brown. So, this respect has lead to me to something drastic.

 

Readers, I know have a twitter. Yes, I just created it today.

 

Follow me: @GMVERSACE

 

The reason for this is because I want to start a national movement. We all need to alert the masses that we want William to return to his weekly column and bless us with his magical words of analysis and hateful comments.

 

Everyone, lets start a movement.

 

#WeWantWill

All right, now lets get into it.

Stronger.

Folks, have you ever looked yourself in the mirror for a good 5 minutes questioning if you even know what you are doing anymore?

 

I mean, one of those good long stares like, "wow, you are embarrassing yourself, you need to change NOW."

Folks, don't worry I don't have a drug problem. I have a fantasy football problem.

 

Yes kids, my team is 0-3 and we are stinking up the joint.

 

At this point I couldn't buy a win even if I had Sheldon (No, not Big Bang Theory) money.

So what does any 0-3 team do now?

Quit?

Cry?

Make a trade?

 

I really have no idea what to do anymore, my fellow readers. Well, I know quitting isn't the option but other than that I have no idea. 

 

The worst part about this whole situation is that I now go against my biggest rival of all time.

 

Nick vs Corey

Nicky B vs Chippy B

The Legend vs The Myth

Superman vs Batman

Will Smith vs Denzel Washington

 

The biggest rivalry in the league.

 

This game is the one I circle every year. This is the game that means the most to me.

 

Readers, I think we all know nothing is better than beating Nick. Each week he posts his rankings and constantly makes fun of us. How long are we going to let him make fun of us? How long are we going to let him use that salsa joke on us? Readers, this weekend I must beat Nick. Not just for me, but for all of us.

 

Yeah, about that.........

 

The thing is folks, I have only beat Nick once.

 

I believe our all time record is Corey: 1 win and Nick: 6 wins

 

Yeah, he is dominating this rivalry.

 

So I am 0-3 and go against my biggest rival, what am I going to do?

 

In times like these I turn to one of my favorite rappers:

 

"Now that that dont kill me, Can only make me stronger"

 

These are the genius lyrics of the one and only Kanye West. 

 

I believe he is trying to say that past events that may have hurt him have only made him a stronger man. The events didn't kill him, they built him up. 

 

Sooo....

Yes, my team is under-performing, but I am not dead. 

 

Yes, I am 0-3 but I am not dead.

Yes, currently I am the worst fantasy owner in the league and have brought shame to my family but I am not dead.

 

Readers, get stronger. If you lost last weekend, use it as motivation. If you won last weekend keep the momentum going. Just don't let anything kill you.

Keep livin'.

P.S.

I am hearing rumors that Matt is thinking about writing a guest blog. I would love to get Matt's opinion on the league and would love to hear others opinion as well, but instead of a blog you all should get a podcast. Here are my suggestions for other league members podcasts:

 

1.) Matt's Money Monday (a podcast with Sean each week to talk about Sean's predictions. I imagine Matt would be one of those guys who has extreme exaggerations. Example: 

Matt: Sean, who do you got this week, the Jaguars at home or the Titans?

Sean: I think the Jags get their first win.

Matt: NOOOOOO WAY BRO!!! BRO NOOOOOO!!!! YOU BEEN TAKING YOUR MEDS?!?!? (Sound effect: police siren) (sound effect: elderly lady screaming for help) (sound effect: machine guns) (sound effect: "black and yellow, black and yellow") (sound effect: lazer).

 

2.) Cheryl's cup of coffee (this would be a podcast with Melinda each week to describe her blog, Lindys's Latte, and what life is like as a woman in fantasy football). 

3.) Dave and Darren. (Weekly podcast of what Sproles did in his game.)

 

4.) Curtis (yeah, pretty much he does whatever he wants. The dude is like a secret assassin and I am pretty sure he doesn't read my blog anyways. But hey Curtis, if you are, what's up man?)

 

5.) Robert wouldn't get a podcast. Last time he was charged with being creative he came up with this: http://youtu.be/1JRpM2Vw-Lc
