First, congratulations to commenter mxd737 for submitting the winning fantasy football team name in our recent contest. “My Vick in a Box” scored 332 total votes, representing 40 percent of the total votes casted. If it had been a political election, it would have qualified as a landslide.
The runner-up, “Kibbles’n'Vicks”, made away with 17 percent of the vote, proving that Michael Vick jokes still are not old.
In other news, apparently I got Eli Manning and Jason Campbell mixed up yesterday. If I could go in the way back machine, I would tell you to start Manning and bench Campbell.
At least I picked the winning team last night.

Named them all in 2:06…and only took that long as I didn’t have a list of all the NFL teams in front of me and was trying to use the little helmets shown on that page (which doesn’t have them all!)…not to toot my own horn or anything, hah
