Vic's Voodoo List

Yes, I'm a tad bitter that I'm 0-2. In the bottom of the weaker division. Though the season is still young, there are several people whom I wish I can make voodoo dolls of so I can stick a dozen pins on them:


Herman Edwards - How can you lose at home to a team whose coaching staff is imploding ? And why didn't you give the ball to a healthy Larry Johnson after the 3rd period? I've hated you since you ran Larry Johnson to the ground in 2006. Honorable mention to Carl Peterson, the KC GM who hired you but hasn't hired any good Offensive Lineman in the past 3 years. I'm never going to pick a player you coach in fantasy ever again.

Desean Jackson - Damn you! I don't mind you scoring on a big play against the Cowboys. Oh yeah, you didn't score because you were busy showboating and spiked the ball 1 foot from the endzone. So thanks to your bonehead Leon-Lett level rookie maneuver, Brian Westbrook gets an easy 1-yard TD for his 2nd TD of the night. Thanks a lot.

Greg Lewis - You too. Why did you have to go down at the 1 yard line, couldn't you have channeled Marion Barber and push for that last yard? Instead, Brian Westbrook for 6 and my 20-pt lead is officially history. And to think I put you down as #4 in my waiver wire priority list in my minor-league fantasy league.

Hurricane Ike - Damn you for causing all that rain in Indiana on Saturday. Of course, there are those who think God was responsible for the crappy weather that made the football real slippery. Nope, it's the Caribbean causing the overlying atmosphere to be unstable enough to sustain convection and thunderstorms, because some butterfly flew over the water. Or something like that.

San Diego Chargers fans claiming the Broncos didn't deserve that gutsy victory - Well, even after the non-fumble, Chargers had not one, but two chances to seal the deal. And last time I checked, you guys still had Norv Turner as your head coach, so there.

And last, but not least, Kevin Farrell - Thanks for trading Brian Westbrook and Reggie Wayne for a dude with toe problems. That's 36 points you missed out on this past week while losing to an absentee owner. Coincidentally, that's also 36 points Bill scored against me. At this point, I'm not sure whether Andrew's trade of Romo for Portis is worse than Westbrook and Wayne for LT.
