The Top 10 Things That Cost Jimmy The Championship

10.  No true alpha recievers, Puca and Metcalf were drafted too early.  Unfortuately, Jimmy tries to finish too fast in many aspects in life...

09.  His tight ends were a liablity when better recievers were available. His WR room was so quiet, even the stadium DJ stopped playing hype music.
       He drafted Kyle Pitts… which is fantasy code for “I’m ready to be emotionally disappointed again.”

08.  He only had Saquan Barkley and Josh Allen.  Josh Allen carried the team so hard, he filed for workers’ comp.

07.  Drafted Joe Burrow (258.375 pts), but ended the season with Josh Allen (245.175 pts)—because nothing says “strategy” like burning a
       4th-round pick on  a guy you ghost midseason.

06.  He spent his 10th pick on Deshaun Watson-- Drafting Mike Williams and Deshaun Watson—because apparently, he wanted to simulate
       the feeling of lighting draft picks on fire.

05.  Jimmy's waiver wire antics should have awarded him a league suspension-- He picked Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Andrei Iosivas…
       just in case the league added a “decoy WR” scoring category.

04.  His Magic 8-Ball only works in Round 1. His RB depth chart looked like a hospital waiting room. Dobbins, Abdullah, Herbert—more
       questionable tags than a clearance rack at Marshalls.

03.  He likes below average defenses like the Bengals and his playoff strategy was “hope the other guy forgets to set his lineup.”  Spoiler: they didn’t...

02.  Outside of Barkley and Allen, few players had boom potential.  It's hard to win a playoff without a 25+ upside.  His kicker scored more
       points than half his starting lineup. Boswell was the MVP, and that’s not a compliment.

01.  He kept saying to himself, "This is my year."  The same think that he has said for the last 25 years.

Zack's Facts
 
Coming Soon!  Facts so sharp they cut through the noise—Zack delivers the truth your lineup didn’t know it needed.  Records, rarities, and reality checks—because fantasy football deserves real intel.



Carbon Removal, Quiet Lifters, Improve Mileage, ATS Chemicals

With the Commissioner having some time off, he decided to see if this stuff really works for the price.  Twin turbos tend to build up carbon.  After using an endoscope to examine the pistons, before and after... Yes, this stuff really works!

 

ATS Chemical’s 505CRF Fuel System Treatment and 505CRO Oil System Treatment are engineered to tackle one of the most persistent issues in modern engines: carbon buildup. These pour-in treatments are not generic additives—they’re precision-formulated solutions backed by mechanic endorsements and real-world results.

505CRF (Fuel System Treatment):
     Designed for gasoline and diesel engines.
     Targets carbon deposits in fuel injectors (port and direct), induction ports, valves, and combustion chambers.
     Use one bottle per tank of fuel (treats 5–20 gallons).
     Recommended every other oil change for consistent performance.
     Do not mix with other fuel additives. 

505CRO (Oil System Treatment):
     Breaks down sludge and carbon in lubricated engine components.
     Resolves issues like sticking piston rings, lifters, cam phasers, and oil control valves.
     Add one bottle to engine oil, run at high idle (1500–2500 RPM) for 10–20 minutes, then perform an oil and filter change.
     Do not mix with other oil treatments.

You can usually catch on sale in bundle packs, www.atschemicals.com.



Little Johnny Jokes

Little Johnny was sitting in class one day, and the teacher was talking about life, and asked him, “Little Johnny, how do you want your wife to be like?” He answered, “Like the moon,” and the teacher said, “That’s such a beautiful answer because it’s calm and peaceful.”  Little Johnny said, “No, because it appears at night and disappears in the morning.

Little Johnny’s neighbor just had a baby. Sadly, the baby was born without any ears. When the mum and baby came back home from the hospital, Johnny’s family was invited over to see the baby. Before they left their house, Little Johnny’s dad had a chat with him and explained how the baby had no ears. Johnny’s dad also told him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby’s missing ears or even said the word “ears,” he would get the beating of his life when they came back home.

Little Johnny told his dad he understood and agreed not to mention the baby’s lack of ears. Johnny looks in the bassinet and says, “Wow, what a beautiful baby.” The mother replies, “Why, Thanks, Johnny.” Johnny says, “He has beautiful little feet, beautiful little hands, a cute little nose, and really beautiful eyes. Is he able to see alright?” “Yes,” says the mum, “we are so grateful, the Doctor said he will have perfect vision.” “That is great,” says Little Johnny, “cause he’d be screwed if he needed glasses!


Memphis Style Dry Rubbed Wings

Covers 2 - 3 pounts of wings.

Mix the following in a bowl:
 2 tbsp sweet paprika
 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
 1 tsp chili powder
 1 tsp garlic powder
 1 tsp onion powder
 ¾ tsp black pepper 
 ½ tsp dry mustard
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp oregano
 ½ tsp thyme
 ½ tsp lemon pepper seasoning
 ⅛ tsp cayenne (optional for kick)

Prep
1.  Dry brine: Toss 2–3 lbs of wings with 1 tbsp baking powder + 2 tbsp of the rub. Refrigerate uncovered on a rack overnight to dry the skin.
2.  Tang spritz: Mix 2 tbsp Worcestershire + 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Use this as a spritz during smoking to add tang and help the rub stick.

1.  Preheat smoker to 275–300°F. Use hickory or pecan wood for that Southern backbone.
2.  Place wings on the smoker and spritz with the Worcestershire-vinegar mix every 30 minutes.
3.  Smoke for 1.5 to 2 hours, until skin is crisp and internal temp hits 175–185°F for that perfect bite.

Once smoked: Toss wings in a bowl with a light splash of Worcestershire. Dust with remaining dry rub and a touch more lemon pepper for brightness. These wings are earthy, spicy, and tangy with a crisp bark and no sticky mess.
