Umm...balls.

Not that funny, I admit.

I'm bored.

Like half of my fantasy team is on that list.

This better be innaccurate.

That a fake story?

Sgt PSN · September 07, 2005, 03:33:39 PM

Oh, it's a joke. I get it. I get jokes.

It's a hoax, bro. Look at the url.

Like I said. I'm bored.

I was going to say, as tough (and utterly shocking) as losing Kearse would be, it would be that much tougher for Minnesota losing Culpepper.

Well, Dio, you did it: Gave about 1/2 of Eagles fans a heart attack.

Big Ed would ban your ass from the EMB for pulling a stunt like this.

PS: Tell the tool who composed it that Richard Seymour spells his name thusly.

I figured it out shortly after I posted. The thing that tricked me about it is that I'm always signed into sportsline.com and when I opened that link the little "welcome screen" was there along with the links to my sportsline fantasy football league.

Regardless, I got punked. Well played sir.
