Wry on the Rocks with No Ice: the POFD Inbox

Every week, our inbox is figuratively  and literally flooded (our computers have bad plumbing) with thousands upon thousands of emails from our countless fans. We feel obligated to answer at least 10 lucky fans' (out of thousands, possibly billions, mind you) emails each week. It is our mailbag, of sorts, except nobody has used actual mail since 1997, so we call it our inbox. Unlike every other mailbag ever, though, it will not be vain and self-serving. So, every Wednesday one of us will sit down with a glass of rye (another margarita party) and show the fans we care by responding with half-assed, wry attempts at humor. Send us your emails and questions at our fancy new email account: puntingonfirstdown@gmail.com.

Wry on the Rocks with No Ice: the POFD Inbox

Every week, our inbox is figuratively  and literally flooded (our computers have bad plumbing) with thousands upon thousands of emails from our countless fans, which is odd considering we don't actually have an email account. Nevertheless, we feel obligated to answer at least 10 lucky fans' (out of thousands, possibly billions, mind you) emails each week. It is our mailbag, of sorts, except nobody has used actual mail since 1997, so we call it our inbox. Unlike, every other mailbag ever, though, it will not be vain and self-serving. So, every Wednesday one of us will sit down with a glass of rye (bourbon tonight) and show the fans we care by responding with half-assed, wry attempts at humor. Send us your emails and questions whenever we actually get an email account.

The Inaugural Lendale White Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week Award

Pro Football Talk

Howdy folks, this will be a new weekly column here on POFD where we identify the Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week. These are the guys whose garbage time first-down run on 3rd and 5 in a 41-14 game gave you bragging rights for the next seven days, or the guys who managed to drop that touchdown pass when all you needed was another two points to live to see another Sunday. 

Those guys, man, those guys deserve to be one of the many morons who didn't listen in a Roland Emmerich movie.

This column's namesake had to be none other than Titans "running back" Lendale White who, in 2008, nearly single-handedly won myriad fantasy leagues with his weekly 12 carry, 30 yard, 2 touchdown performances.  In 2009, however, with teammate Chris Johnson the best goddamn football player this side of Purple Jesus, White has taken a giant step back for fantasy-kind, notching only a single touchdown in his team's nine games.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Amish, I present to you....the Fantasy Party Man/Douche of the Week...

Straight From the Jacket Predictions: Week 10

Well, we've passed the halfway point here in the 2009 NFL campaign, and you know what that means...

1.  Andy Reid is getting fatter in order to insulate himself for those chilly Philly winters.
2.  The Cowboys will soon be leading the league in frowny-faces rather than smiles.
3.  The Browns and Redskins will be going down to the wire to find who is the most dysfunctional squadron in the league.

With that being said, here are your glass-jaw, locked-down, guaranteed bets for Week 10.
