Famous last words!
I wonder what some of the funniest "last words" uttered or heard by the deceased may have been.
I wonder how many people died right after hearing or saying the words, "One, Two, Threeeeee..."
or,
"I wonder what this does."
or,
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
or,
"What ever you do, don't touch that!"
You get the idea...
Any thoughts?

My all-time favorite last words: "Hey guys, watch this!"
Running a close second: "I do."
"The safety word is banana!"
How about, "Are you sure your husband won't be home until tomorrow?"
It's not that far... is it?
Ooops...
Are you sure it's the RED wire??
Bluto's famous last words: "I've got the No. 1 pick in my TD-only football league, and I'm taking a running back."
Take the best TD scoring RB out there - Tomlinson.
LT had 32 and 17 TDs (run/rec/pass) for 49 over the past two seasons. That's 3 fewer than TommyKnocker Brady had last season alone (2 rushing).
Even in the two years PRE-Moss, Brady had 51 total - which is better than LT's 2007 and perfect storm in 2006.
It's not the QB, you superstitious curmudgeon. It's the WR options. Why do you think Romo is so good? Because of his arm? Mobility? I-AA credentials? No. It's his options (TO). If Roethlisberger played in Dallas, he would be the league MVP living at the Playboy mansion. If Romo played in Miami, he would be out of the league, delivering pizza out of a 1986 Corrola and sleeping with a large, cardboard cutout of Jessica Simpson.
Further, QBs don't get injured at near the rate as RBs. How much $$$ will you win when Sproles is getting all the touches because of a freak Achilles rupture, ACL tear or anal warts outbreak?
Will Brady throw for 50 again. Hell no. Even in an off year, however, the man is good for 30. LT would have to be king of the world again to match that.
LT's career TD totals - 10, 15, 17, 18, 20, 31, 18.
Brady's career TD totals - 18, 29, 24, 28, 27, 24, 52.
One of these men is on the rise. One of these men is not. Figure out which is which and you might just avoid looking like a complete and total tool.
(Apologies all around for the rest of y'all who didn't know this was a part-time fantasy football dork site.)
Horny Toad Blower,
I find your assessment faulty.
First off - On the rise? LT's TD production increased in each of the six years preceding last. Brady's production decreased in 4 of the 5 years preceding last. You put a lot of stock in Moss NOT yanking a hammy or simply latching on to a bad attitude because his weed was bunk this week. Without Moss, Brady is on the way down (like the Patriots). 51 TD’s is an outlier we can hardly consider in this analysis.
Brady’s performance last year is probably not likely to repeat any time soon whereas my money is on LT improving on last year's numbers. For which running backs can you all but guarantee 17 or 18 TD's?
Second – You compare apples to oranges when you compare a QB to an RB. You have to consider the next best alternatives in each category. The drop off from number one to number two and so on down the line becomes the issue at hand. After the number 2 QB, the number 3 is probably as good a bet as the number 12.
Third - Since my league consists of 12 managers drafting 1 QB each and 2 RB’s each, the RB’s should be regarded at a premium. If I forgo the number one RB in favor of the number 1 QB, I could find myself stuck with the number 24 RB by draft’s end. (Unlikely)
I could get the numba 1 QB and match it with the numba 10 and 11 RB’s perhaps…unless Moss fell to me. Then I’d have to settle for numba 10 and probably 17 RB or so. OR I could get the numba 1 RB and the numba 10 RB and guarantee grabbing at the very worst the numba 12 QB. (convoluted for sure and I am not looking at enough numbers yet but I felt the urge to respond right away)
Fourth – Brady is already injured and relevant data on his ailment is tough to come by.
I’m takin’ LT and count on holding 2 top ten RB’s, perhaps 2 top ten WR’s and a QB at least as good as anyone’s guess at number 3 or 4.
BTW every time I’ve had LT on my team in this league I’ve won it. I’ve also picked RB’s with my first two picks every time I’ve won this league.
Thank God the weekend is here. I can play with my kids, golf and blog again! I guess I’d better draft a fantasy football team or three, too so I can be prepared for the money league.
Almost famous last words:
A small step for man, a giant leap for .... Hey, what the f...?
or
Houston we have a pro... (static)
How about, "Brother Hyrum, we never should have destroyed that printing press!" This is TheicidalManiac, or, as I'm known on the HJnews site, josh. I was cordially invited to participate in a atheism v. agnosticism debate, but I cannot find a related thread. Will you post one or will this be a personal discussion?
Sorry Josh,
I've been busy!
I will post from what we've already been discussing. Please feel free to repeat yourself!
Here's one that is about to get me killed, "I'll be to bed in a sec honey!"
The redneck's famous last words:
HEY GUYS, WATCH THIS!!
