What Josh said...I'm burning at least 6000 calories a day...and eating lots (around 3500), but you can only carry so much at a time. I'm in Damascus, VA now. Hope the Spiders are winning. I have to get some town food now.

Oh yeah, and I gain at least 5 -7 pounds everytime I eat in town, but that doesn't last long.

I officially kick off the "Spiders on the Road" Photo Contest


As you can see here. I had the pleasure of meeting and listening to the 3-time Super Bowl Champion & Pro-Bowl linebacker of the New England Patriots, Tedy Bruschi, at a function this past Sunday about Stroke Survivors... It was really, really moving.

Sorry for the blurry picture, it was taken really far away and fast with a camera phone... Let's just say that I confused many people...

So the challange is on. Put up or shut up Huber & Chan, Peek & Zav, even you Jeff Zawada! Lets see if you have really have game Duquin!!!

When the better team wins it’s not because the lesser team underachieved

From http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/80687.html

I can’t buy into the notion that the Sabres underachieved. Maxed out is more like it. Forget about the Presidents’ Trophy and the illusion of supremacy it creates. Ottawa was five points better than Buffalo from Dec. 1 through the end of the regular season while playing two fewer games. The Sens won the regular season series, 5-3, outscoring the Sabres, 33-25. When they met in the playoffs the better team won. And when the better team wins it’s not because the lesser team underachieved. The Sens went into the series absurdly under-regarded in this town.

Tarrets Guy Just Never Stops!

Tarrets Guy wanted desperately to have sex with this really cute, really hot girl in his office, but she was dating someone else.

One day he got so frustrated that he went to her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me have sex with you..."

The girl looked at him, then said, "NO."

Tarrets Guy said, "I'll be real fast. I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll finish by the time you've picked it up."

She thought for a moment and said that she would consult with her boyfriend. So she called him and explained the situation.

Her boyfriend says, "Ask him for $200, pick up the money really fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down." She agreed and accepts the proposal.

Over half an hour goes by and the boyfriend is still waiting for his girlfriend's call. Finally, after 45 minutes the boyfriend calls and asks what happened.

Still breathing hard, she managed to reply, "The bastard had all quarters!"

The Spiders after 3 games

OK Spider Faithful we are on top of the league with 6 points.. Tied with the Coyotes (yes josh that guy is a good fieldgoal kickers team). We have them on goal differential... but it is early and let's face it just like in the newsletter said.. We shouldn't plan the victory parade we only succeeded in beating three of the worst teams in the league.....
Overall there are some positives...
1.Tim Grundy being one of them ..I was worried when Chan left but with Tim stepping in there I don't see a drop off (sorry comet, still miss ya you hiking fool).
2. We really beat the hell out of some bad teams (without Denny and Fins) - in the past we have been known to play down to our opponents
3. Alot less tension than last year we all seem to be ..mellow and happy


AROUND THE LEAGUE
Knockaround guys Orangemen and Coyotes....
K-guys and Orange tied last week
Coyotes have basically played who we have they scored 1/2 as much and let in1 more goal...not sure what that means...
Orangemen... new goalie Phil Sykowsky really bolsters their team I guarantee they will be gunning for us this year...

THE FOUR GAME OUTLOOK
Slapnuts not a push over....at 2-1
Orangemen enough said...
Blues same old blues but now with an angry Joe Howard
Coyotes- the jury is still out they play red Dog and the orange before they meet us....two games to really look at how they are

That's it for now....
See ya Thursday....

Tarret Strikes Again!!

As I'm sure most, if not all, of you are aware that we have a teammate with the nickname Tarret...(of course no names will be use to protect the problem child).. Normally Tarret sits there and eats his wing(or celery) and drinks his beer.. After a few beers his disability comes out.. So, on occasion he blurts out "Woohoo", or "Look at that ass" or "Nice Rack honey"..

Well, last night he maybe crossed a line or two... And this is what happened, for those who were not there... So Tarret was playing with his phone or looking at his beer or something while our lovely waitress, Mary, was trying to clean the table..(ya know, the 4 cases of empty beer bottles we usually have sitting there).. When Tarret strikes while she wasn't looking...He blurts out "I want to see some breasts".. Mary, the innocent lady that she is, was dumb-founded and didn't really know what to do.. I do like where she went with it(She said "Ummmm, Nina??!!), but I'm not sure she knew who's he was asking to see...

I think we may need to put a collection plate together, as a team, so we can send our dear friend to a counselor so he can work on controlling his disability..

Movie Review: SpiderMan3 Rocks!



Allright. I know. Going to see a movie at 6AM in the morning before work is a tad crazy (especially considering we played at 11:30PM) but it was worth it. In fact, it might be a viable option for those who just do not have the time to go to the movies normally...

Of course try to find me around 2 when I am sleeping under my desk...
Anyway. It rocked!


Action was incredible. The story was compelling. ...and the new girl-in-distress ain't bad either...
Clearly the best Comic Book Movie Franchise out there!
