\"\"As the winner of Survivor 2, I am entrusted to write an article.\u00a0 My initial plan was to write a 1,000 word soliloquy about why I hate Derek and Eli.\u00a0 498 words were going to be devoted to Derek, 502 to Eli.\u00a0 But my therapist (Abby from the Demons) says I should be nice and talk about what I love about BTSH…or just ream the Rehabs.*<\/p>\n

So I’ve decided to take Abby’s initial advice and give props to why I drive 1 hour and 20 minutes each way from Ronkonkoma to play in this league.\u00a0 Here is what makes the league so fun for me to play in.**<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Demons:<\/strong> Steve’s Jersey dress code and his thought provoking\u00a0FB discussions.<\/p>\n

WTP:<\/strong> Watching Adriano play amazing defense during the All-Star Game.***<\/p>\n

LBS:<\/strong> The warm secret hug Ken and my new\u00a0BFF Karsten give to me before every game.\u00a0 Karsten has also taught me how to be a real man.<\/p>\n

Hookers:<\/strong> The way my face feels after I ram it into Noelle’s elbow.<\/p>\n

Filthy:<\/strong> It’s a tossup between attacking Dan<\/a> in the All-Star Game or having Ashley steal my dollar that MDF (Meredith Danberg-Ficarelli) just gave me.<\/p>\n

Rainbows:<\/strong> Having John Meyer wait to accept my Facebook friendship until the Elves won a game…then do it in front of me.<\/p>\n

Sky:<\/strong> Watching Derek and Eli’s man-crush on Martin.<\/p>\n

Rehabs:<\/strong> So much to choose from here.\u00a0 But by far my favorite Rehab memory is the touching farewell and retirement of $howT!m3.\u00a0 We’ll miss you, and though I know, much like Brett Favre, you’re gone for good, one day I hope you come back!<\/p>\n

Unicorns:<\/strong> Cutting Vicky in line for the bathroom.\u00a0 Always a good sport about it.\u00a0 Always a dirty look afterwards.<\/p>\n

Fresh Kills:<\/strong> Getting yelled at by Bob for coming in to ref exactly at 11 after being stuck in traffic for an hour and forty minutes.\u00a0 It felt good!<\/p>\n

Biters:<\/strong> Getting yelled at by Schuie for being born.<\/p>\n

Tuques:<\/strong> Yelling at Brian Ferry after he beat us.\u00a0 He knows me…I can be a poor sport in front of him.<\/p>\n

Cobra Kai:<\/strong> Making fun of them for always staying in the back of the EVT.\u00a0 This week, the back was taken so they moved to the outside.\u00a0 Every once in awhile Will or Becky will try to mingle and go to the middle of the bar but I always try to send them back.<\/p>\n

Squirrels:<\/strong> Watching Rachel Greene check 10 guys **** and then complain to me that I didn’t call a stick check.<\/p>\n

Math:<\/strong> NOTHING!!!\u00a0 I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MATHEMATICS!!!!!*****<\/p>\n

Mega:<\/strong> Watching Alex freak when I made a lefty joke.\u00a0 (I’m a lefty in most sports including hockey, so I thought I could poke fun…but probably not the best idea going forward)<\/p>\n

Standoff:<\/strong> Ending each argument with Ellery about how great Jack Bauer is.<\/p>\n

Elves:<\/strong> The Unicorn game, watching Ben and Melanie cover their point men, the Moffo Miracle******, secretly ogling Shoshanna Rudnick, and overall having the most awesome 10-11-1 season a team can have.<\/p>\n

*Did not really say that
\n**It is not Derek or Eli
\n***Please denote high level of sarcasm
\n****She didn’t really check anyone in game I reffed of her, but I’ve seen her do it so many times and would totally let her get away with it
\n*****Mulva please don’t beat me up for that.\u00a0 I actually like you.\u00a0 And I hate myself for saying this, but Derek has grown on me.\u00a0 Eli not yet.
\n******I can’t believe you all fell for this.\u00a0 WTP killed us 9-0!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
