READER TESTIMONIALS

Hello Fans of Sweetactionpicks:

As I'm sure you've all heard, there has been a tremendous amount of buzz going around the World Wide Web concerning sweetactionpicks.com and its success. In an effort to thank all of our fans we decided that it would be nice to recognize some of the comments that you have sent us showing your appreciation of the site. Thanks to everyone who has written in!!!
-Dick Pickles; Senior Writer, sweetactionpicks.com

"Sweetactionpicks makes me laugh so hard my dick hurts. When I need advice on healthy eating, why I should beat puppies during football season, or where Sawyer is blowing guys for bus fare, I always go to sweetactionpicks.com. I've also learned the best way to invest my money by blindly throwing my savings behind the Pick Guru's Lock-of-the-WeekTM. Its free money and advice! If you don't like it, then fuck you!"
-S. Tate; Phoenix, AZ

"There are only two things in this world that I do more than go to the gym. One is cry in the dark like a coward. The second is reading sweetactionpicks.com so that I can gather my gambling knowledge to win money so I can purchase more roofies and steroids."
-C. Burkhardt; Charlestown, MA

"Being a homosexual male isn't very easy in this society and hiding it is even harder. It is for this reason that I go out out of my way to act masculine and pretend that I like sports. However, picking up and showing my knowledge to others isn't easy since the gay gene has taken over and infected my brain. Thanks to sweetactionpicks.com I have a place that I can learn about sports and stay in the closet for at least a few more years. Thanks Dick Pickles!"
-T. Sawyer; Sommerville, MA

"As a woman I was born with an inability to comprehend or play sports with any level of effectiveness. My pea-sized brain* and floppy vagina constantly get in the way. Sure, people will humor me and say that I'm ok but they are clearly lying just to be nice. I am especially terrible at fantasy sports but now that I have sweetactionpicks.com to go to for advice I will find all the fantasy help I need. Its so good it can even bail me out!!! ;)"
-C. Vestal; Sommerville, MA

"As a pompous city dweller, I find it increasingly difficult to find common ground with Joe Everyman and Stan Bluecollar. This divide is exacerbated by the fact that I have a fetish for Japanese choirboys, and enjoy wearing women's shoes and a man purse. But thanks to Sweetactionpicks, I've been able to reconnect with my fellow man by talking shop about the Football matches. Thank you Sweetactionpicks!"
-T. O'Brien; New York City, New York

"Not long ago I made the mistake of gift-wrapping my testicles for a woman to hang on to for the rest of my life. I will never see these again. Without them I have no idea how to (nor am I allowed to) enjoy the finer things in life such as binge eating fast food and betting my own money without written approval. The two things I have going for me are that I live in the delightful state of Delaware and that sweetactionpicks.com has allowed me to live vicariously through others who still have far more freedom than I'll ever be able to enjoy again."
-M. Butler; Wilmington, DE

"When I need gambling advice, I always know what to do! I call my mom and have her pay the cable company so they turn the Internet back on, then log onto Sweetactionpicks to get the most up-to-date gambling strategy. And the only thing Sweetactionpicks does better than advising you what to do with your own money, is advising you what to do with your parent’s cash! It’s also a great reprieve from endlessly e-mailing disease ridden, scurvy ravaged stalkers from CraigsList. I credit Sweetactionpicks for giving me a reason to continue to live . . . without it I have nothing."
-D. Simollardes; Waltham, MA

FANTASY FOOTBALL 2009

FANTASY FOOTBALL 2009

Ladies . . . Gentlemen . . . Vestal,

Can you believe that Fantasy Football is upon us again?

I feel like my rage over Vestal coming in second place just recently subsided. Like I only just stopped laughing at Burkhardt winning zero dollars. And it feels like only yesterday that Sawyer’s breath smelled like his dad’s cock.

But it’s been almost 8 long months (or in Burkhardt’s case, three rather expeditious restraining orders) since Zombie Rapefest won the T-Rex Justice League championship. Now its time to get this thing going again; but before we get to the league info, I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome back to all of the pieces of shit that participated in this league last year.


The basic league info is as follows:
League Name: T-Rex Justice League
League ID#: 358350
Password: 2Mannings1cup
Draft Time: Thursday, September 3rd, 9:00PM eastern

Teams: 12
Entry Fee: $100
Payouts: Most points during the regular season $400, first place finish $500, second finish $200, third place finish $100
League URL: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/chris_burkhardt_is_a_faggot

There a couple tweaks of the rules from last year, the main one being that there will be no individual return yards awarded. Like most leagues, scoring in the return game will still be tacked on to the DEF score, but Jonny Lee Higgins can officially hold Vestal’s hand and jump off a cliff.

Also, I’ve tentatively moved the championship game up to the second to last game of the season so star players are less likely to be rested and fantasy teams can remain intact.

The last order of business is letting me know whether or not you are going to join the league this year. A few of you have already signed up, so I know you’re playing; but if you don’t plan on joining please let me know ASAP. We have other people who are looking to join the league if you’re not interested, so much so that the idea of a 14 team league is being floated. So everyone please send me an email at tate.sean@gmail.com letting me know: 1) whether or not you’re playing this year; 2) whether you are in favor or opposed to 14 teams being included (the payouts would obviously be increased with more teams); and 3) any rules/scoring/roster/draft time issues you have.
