The missus and I are heading to Montreal this weekend for the first time (4 nights).  Looking for any recommendations, things to avoid, people to do, things to see, etc.  Already got the bike tour and a day trip to Quebec City on the schedule.  Tam Tams?  Reubens?  Hoping some of the menu prices...

We do a 5-round auction followed by 10 more rounds of serpentine drafting. 12-team league. We have a $100 budget for the auction. I'm trying to cipher how to adjust the FBG values to fit the fact that we're only drafting a third of our team. I took the top 60 list and added up the values -...

I'm thinking Bell, AP, Charles, in that order. Whichever one falls to me. Don't have the guts to go receiver.

We had an Armageddon storm here, the day of the Home Run Derby, and our power went out for 24 hrs. Sump pump went out with it, and I spent three hours on my knees, scooping water out of the well with a blender top and dumping it into an empty 5-gallon cat litter box, then dumping it outside...

The missus and I live just above the Ohio River. There's a dock/restaurant below us - small time place that folks use to gas up their boat/buy beer, etc. A guy just bought it and is looking to clean it up and make someplace decent out of it. He doesn't have city water there, however. He has...

Six of us (three couples) heading to the Back Bay to see the Reds/Sox game and generally raise hell. I worked at the Pru for two years back around the turn of the century - what's new in the last 13 years? TIA.

From the geniuses that brought you this thread, the Ocho Day CinCo league is back for their 3rd season, and needs a 12th member. You can see our website here, and should be able to access the rules under Reports. Draft is 9/4 at the Beer Sellar outside Cincy. PM me for details/questions.

We've got an owner that's going to be out of the country for the draft this year. We do an auction until every team has five players, then switch to serpentine (weird, but we're easing in to this auction thing). Even if he had Internet access, he wouldn't be able to hear the bids. We...

Sorry to waste a topic on this loser, but: NOVI, Mich. (AP) -- A judge has jailed ex-Detroit Lions top draft pick Charles Rogers for violating probation in a domestic violence case. "I'm just going to do my 10 days, get out of the court system and try to get in shape for a comeback," Rogers...

Dec. 28, this year, Kansas City at Cincinnati. Blowing snow, empty stadium, two teams with probably no more than two wins between them. Come see Tyler Thigpen vs. Ryan Fitzpatrick - scratch that, Fitz will be dead by then - Carson Palmer's little brother. Come see LJ and Chad - scratch that...

Big group of us heading to the Reds-Yankees titanic struggle Friday night. We're debating whether or not to go to the park really early just to see the surrounding area, pop a few beers, etc. My guess is, having been to several of the other old stadiums in the league, that there's not a lot to...

Washington Redskins second-round draft pick Fred Davis did not show up for minicamp practice Sunday, prompting the team to send security officials to find the tight end. "Everybody was scouring," coach Jim Zorn said after practice. "Nobody heard from him, so there was one of two scenarios...

Is there another verb to describe being franchised besides "slapped" with the tag? Have you ever seen an announcer extol the virtues of a "little" tight end? How about a "big" shovel pass? Is there another adjective (other than "ill-advised")? Feel free to add yours to the list.

I just went to the cheatsheet section, and pulled up the auction values for a basic TD league? (4pts for a TD pass). I'm getting these numbers for the RBs: LaDainian Tomlinson (01.01) 37 Larry Johnson (01.03) 35 Shaun Alexander (01.06) 33 Steven Jackson (01.02) 32 Rudi Johnson (01.10) 30...

Before Such handsome devils. Then she showed up Shuke attempting the classic FBG reacharound. After And it just went downhill from there... Lessons learned: Why Homer got banned (most recently) I can't play pool for #### Every pick made was 'Shuke's next choice' Labatts has a kick...

Strange but true.

According to Bengals.com: Dave Lapham, the Bengals radio analyst who himself played 10 seasons along the Cincinnati front, framed Rich Braham’s retirement best Wednesday. “He’s a Norman Rockwell portrait of an offensive lineman,” Lapham said. “In everything. I’ve never seen anyone tougher. His...
