A Mess of Party Fouls

CRABnation!
Its great to be back with a handful of party fouls, one for each of the CRABs. We know you look forward to seeing us suffer through a Sharps Miller (Non-Alcoholic beverage) as payment for our ignorant and foolish mistakes. Here they are folks, Party fouls.

Len Crabitz- Ultimate Frisbee with Tim

This is why Len is a despicable human being. Not only does he have the nerve to play with Tim, but he has the audacity to call me up and tell me he just played with Jon, Tim's superior twin brother instead. Little did Len know he was actually sharing a field with Tim, breathing the same air and running on the same mud. This party foul is really for confusing Tim and Jon, but even if he didn't do that, it would be a party foul just for putting himself in place to sweat near Tim. Drink up, Lenny.

Pitt- The Status

Now Pitt's had problems with social networking before (see premature FB party foul), but none like this. Pitt actually set "are you going to finish the race with me babe?" on facebook as his status. Due to the circumstances we needn't to elaborate more, however, here is a sample of what Crab would post.


Suffer through that Sharps Pitt.

J.G- The forbidden sentence

This is something I will regret all of my life. I can't believe these words came out of my mouth, but somehow they escaped. "I like Adam better than Michael". That's it. Thats like saying you like the blue power ranger better than the red one. I'm drinking my Sharps warm. Thanks

DiCrabs- No show to Chinese/Lotto

This one is an old stand-by, the CRAB ditch. Now I'll give the guy a little credit because he's busy, but being a no-show to chinese-lotto is a no-go for a CRAB. Granted this party foul the instant we got word that he couldn't make it. Not the most exciting party foul, but deserving nonetheless.


Sharps a million for Len, enjoy your CRABpendance days everyone. Pictures coming soon.

What 2 Watch 4... NFL 2012-13


As all of you know, the CRABs are extremely high on the NFL. Unlike other professional sports, the NFL has more turnover than any other sport. For example, before every NBA, MLB, and NHL season you are pretty much able to pick who the top four teams will be. This makes the season less interesting for fans whose teams may not be in that top four grouping. The NFL however usually consists of about a 50% playoff turnover ratio making every NFL game fun and watchable. This year I have come out with a prediction of who will be improved and who will fall off.

On the Rise:

Carolina Panthers- The Panthers are starting to become a bandwagon type of team. Cam Newton is crabsolutely awesome because he can both throw and run like nobody else in the league. (If people want to say Michael Vick is comparable they should jump off a bridge). The Saints are going through all kinds of difficulties off the field which could translate to on the field issues. The Falcons have a strong wide receiver core with Roddy White and Julio Jones, but lack consistency from their running game and defense. The Buccaneers have made strides in acquiring WR Vincent Jackson to help out Josh Freeman in the passing game and have a new offensive scheme with Greg Schiano at the helm. However, they are still one of the youngest teams in the league and lack discipline, overall talent, and leadership. With this said the Panthers could make a good run at winning the division. They have a new and upcoming quarterback, a great running back tandem, and a defense that can only get better. Len's Prediction 10-6

Kansas City Chiefs- Everyone is talking about the Denver Broncos and quarterback Peyton Manning. The Broncos still lack weapons at WR and are iffy at the running back position. Kansas City has RB Jamaal Charles coming back from injury, a new defensive minded coach, S Eric Berry coming back, and a healthy Matt Cassel. If they can get good play from Cassel, they can win that division and could possibly be a surprise come playoff time. Len's Prediction 11-5

Chicago Bears- The Bears started off extremely well last year. Matt Forte had a breakout year both running and catching the ball out of the backfield. In my opinion, the Bears made the biggest off-season acquisition by picking up WR Brandon Marshall who played with QB Jay Cutler in Denver. The Packers are still the Packers, but the Bears could make the division race much closer than years prior. Len's Prediction 11-5

On the Fall:

New York Giants- The Giants are coming off another impressive Super Bowl victory. The problem is that the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins all promise to be better than last year. The Giants will still have a talented team, but the division and difficult schedule will beat them up tremendously. Len's Prediction 8-8

Pittsburgh Steelers- It seems as though the Steelers are good every year. They are always beat up, yet still manage to put it together to make a strong run into the playoffs. For years they have relied on their defense and the Ben Roethlisberger in the clutch to pull them through close games. The problem I see with the Steelers is the age of their team. Their defense is now lacking talent and are aging tremendously. The Steelers won't be bad, but could actually slip out of the playoffs. Len's Prediction 9-7

New York Jets- Everybody is looking forward to seeing the Jets play this year. Most people cannot stand the looks of Rex Ryan or his coaching style. On the otherhand, Tim Tebow may be the most likeable player perhaps in NFL history. People are rooting for Tebow to start and to change the culture of the Jets. I don't see it happening. In fact, I see the Jets completely collapsing this year and the firing of Rex Ryan. Len's Prediction 5-11
