Lincoln would have won his fantasy league. His first picks might not have been so great, but he would have pulled it together in the 2nd half of the season and replaced the bad picks with some brilliant (under-rated) players who would give him the victory. Lee, Davis and their consortium would be winning at first, but a fatal injury to arguably their top player, and ultimately lack of quality players in the long run, would usher in their defeat.
On a serious note (yeah right), I’ve read abouut the guys who are generally credited with starting fantasy football…but never thought it would approach a billion dollar industry.
I always wondered if they could have copyrighted and/or trademarked some of the process… or if they are a little sad they never really got a cent from the phenomenom.
Posting while stuck waiting to pay for croutons that I don’t even eat but have to buy because the family get together wants them…suc…rules.
Man I should have tried them had you recommended them first!
I went to Trader Joes. They have these little cute bags but they are $3 for about 20 pieces of “Garlic Cheese” croutons.
Now I’ll say they do stay crunchy while fighting off the homemade Caesar salad dressing I made, but they have little if any garlic or cheese taste to them. And for $3 a bag that won’t feed many, it was a rip in my opinion.
I’ll definitely try your suggestion next time, especially because I <3 sourdough.
However, if anyone wants a kick-ass Caesar dressing recipe fresh as can be, use this:
1/3 cup oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 egg
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more if wished)
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
I know this isn’t the fecking cooking channel, but since this is a bit of staple and hard to find a great dressing, I just thought I’d share. For the record, I subbed 3 anchovy slices from Trader Joes for the paste (feck paste), and put in about 10x the garlic and pepper because I’m a freak. Everyone said it was the best part of the dinner. Feck mayonaise-based dressing of the same ilk.
Forgot to add but what makes it easy is you just throw all that shyte into a blender, taste, and then go to town. Add more parmesan cheese for texture if you want (as I did).

Haha I know, my wife keeps telling me that...
…but it just tastes better that using pre-made mayo is what I should have said.
