Pocket Full O Pesos

It is true that we here at the ChopStar Nation are a multicultural bunch.  We have a bunch of white guys, a couple of white ladies, a Jew, a Mexican, and whatever Farooq is.  Mix us all together and you get the ChopStar Nation.  We are the Benetton Ad of Fantasy Football leagues.  As it has long been said, there is no gender, religion, or color in Fantasy Football.  That is, of course, if you don't count the GREEN.  The sweet color of money.  We are competitive bunch here, it is no secret.  And in that spirit of competition we have added the layer of not only playing for the world renowned fame that instantly comes from being crowned King (or Queen) of the ChopStar Nation, we added a pot of gold for the winner (and second placer).  This layer was mostly added to satiate some of Mr. Bartelmay's lust for gambling, of course, but until he asks for our help we must let him roll down that road of ruin.  It must be noted, this pot of gold didn't just magically appear one day.  I may be good with money, but I have yet to be able to make some from none (yet).  No, to give the first and second placers in ChopStar Nation 2010 their winnings, it was required that each and every member to donate a nonrefundable $20 entrance fee to participate in what has become the nation's hottest Fantasy Football league.  Not a real hard concept...for some.

J. Manuel Gonzales is now, as of yesterday, a paid in full member of the ChopStar Nation.  Manny, we thank you.  And, no, we will not stop calling you Manny.

Who hasn't paid, you maybe asking yourself?  Colin P. Delaney hasn't paid.  But I am seeing him tonight and I, if nothing else, can be rather persuasive to those owning me money.  So, let's count him in the soon-to-be paid column.

So, who else?  There is Mr. Ryan Murphy.  And there is Mr. Farooq Ahmed.  I will now appeal to their sense of honor, duty, and dignity.  What do you say fellas?  Want to make ETL, CSNFFLC happy?

This has been the not yet happy ETL, CSNNFFLC
