...and soon thereafter defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory, courtesy of the HBFFL gods of fantasy football. Mere hours after Canuck had chosen Payton Manning in the second round, and Reggie Wayne in the fourth, and the draft was over the news broke that Mr. Endorsement won't be back anytime soon.
In 2008, What The Canuck? lost Tom Brady to a torn ACL/MCL in the first quarter of the first game of the season. It was a disturbance so great even Obi-Wan Kenobi felt it.
And our other Canadian owner, nonames was not spared either. Dallas Clark, his fifth-round pick now has Kerry Collins throwing him the rock. But if Collins gets a good speed going on his scooter he can hit Clark in stride. So there's that.
Maybe the HBFFL fantasy football gods have issues with the CFL and the 110-yard field. Or they don't like Doug and Bob McKenzie. Who knows.
But they sure do love laying the smackdown upon the Canadian owners.
