Good to see that Women are us is no longer a sexist group and is finally admitting us guys.
I am now a part of Women R Us. I figure if Roy can, so can I. It's amazing that (s)he hasn't changed the password since I was "Ravin' Raven."

Did you miss me? Well, dry your eyes, I'm back! =]
Kari has asked to be removed from the group because she states she only wants to be on the 10 Spot blog when she is on FanNation. Sucks to be her, eh?

HELLO ? are we changing the BOTW pic or what ? As a Boston fan, I really cannot stand to look at Manny being Manny anymore. I've had to for too many years. Its LA's problem now. Like Kobe.
Thank you.
Well thank you.
I think I speak for everyone Kathryn to say you were missed.
Roy 4 Cassidy 08/13/08
I'm back!
I can hardly wait untill football starts.....I watch the preseasn but they are trying so many different people it is hard to get into it!!!
Ohio-#88 fan 08/12/08
Due to a pathetic turnout this week, there was a 2-2 tie for BOTW. I will post Manny for 3 1/2 days and then Jason Bay for same.
Come on people, get the other ladies in this group to vote.
Roy 4 Cassidy 08/11/08
Whats up with the pathetic BOTW nomination turnout this week? You vagabonds go on some type of vacation or what?
Roy 4 Cassidy 08/10/08
Happy to join the group, I play Fantasy Football too. I used to be in a money league, but I am cooling it, and just joining for fun this year. Besides, I brought all the boys down last year with my awesome Yahoo! Bobblehead trophy.

Roy 4 Cassidy 07/21/08
Okay please read post below for clarification as to how to nominate future BOTW. I usually make my choice on what happened over the ENTIRE weekend by just looking at a Monday sportspage. That being said I am putting up an All-Star logo this week in honor of the epic 15-inning game on Tuesday.
Roy 4 Cassidy 07/21/08
This group has been going for over 8 months, and if you remember back to the NFL, the results run THRU Sunday so when you are voting for the week prior all NFL games save the Monday night game were eligible for the PRIOR week. Remember now?
Roy 4 Cassidy 07/18/08
Yeah-- count me among the confused. I thought that BOTW ran from Sunday to Saturday, with Sunday starting the new week,(which would make Rafa eligible, since his win came on Sunday.)
buck-i-girl 07/18/08
Cass--please explain what the time frame os for BOTW nominations. If you post, for example, on the 13th, are the nominees from achievements from the 6th to the 12th? Is the 13th included?
upstatebosoxbabe 07/17/08
BOTW: Venus, duh.
Roy 4 Cassidy 07/13/08
KP, please tell us when you get back up and running as we need you to spotlight a member for July. Have fun.

Just to let you all know, Im moving back to NH for the rest of the summer. I do not yet have internet up there and probably wont for a week or so. as of this Sunday morning, I wont be around until I do get some ISP up there.
Have fun, behave and if you cant, take photos...

This is in part my response:

The dude that is doing this is DO_WORK_SON. He was deleted from FanNation for harrassing me so he comes back as this new dummy account with all these lies. The best members of FanNation blow it off. The worst members of FN get all caught up in its sheetstorm.

Say goodbye to Sports in Stilettos. She was more concerned with shoe shopping than contributing to this group....although I see she is still active blogging so she must just be ignoring my repeated fanmails.

We got a Beast duo this week: Rocco Mediate and Ken Griffey "The Kid" Jr. Thanks to all who voted.

Hey you guys please welcome back Katy aka RedSoxBabe. She went on vacation for a while but missed us so much.....here she is. Now if only I could find her BOTW nomination......let me know if any of ya'll do. TU
Roy 4 Cassidy 06/21/08
Heck yeah--I'm voting for the Celtics! I don't vote for a team until all has been said and done, and I felt their BOTW was premature. NOW they're kings of the hoops, so NOW they get my vote.
upstatebosoxbabe 06/18/08
Ok so do we need to nominate the Celtics again this week considering their logo will be up on our page while they are celebrating a championship? I say no.
Roy 4 Cassidy 06/16/08

Welcome to the newest members.. good bye to Rhonnie I guess. Not sure who she is or was..but sorry it didnt work out. My friends list still shows Ruby as a member of FN so not sure what gives there.. maybe shes just taking a break...

PT is a chat room for T & R regulars for totally off the wall and the topic stuff....lol.. we were clogging up T & R's with 800 posts of off topic comments so we moved it to a chat thread.
Hi ladies, one of my fannation friends had to have emergency surgery and things aren't going all that great for him. So, if you could please say a little prayer for him, 4192jc, he could sure use the extra help.

Jengaland Cass-- It took a heck of a lot of courage and grit to play that game with a separated shoulder!! I KNEW she was one good ballplayer but I didn't know for sure she had that much game in her to play hurt that badly.. I was going to nominate her again but I had the last two times!!
Yay, Candace Parker for BOTW. Good game against LSU - nailbiter though.

Hey JaSminE, why you leaving us?
Louisville had a great run! I am sorry they didn't make the final four. Hansbrough is a stud though. Pitino was very classy in post game interviews. Louisville is lucky to have a great coach like Rick.
I just went from 17 pages of groupmail to 53 pages in about 1 hr. Anyone else having a problem?
Congrats to UNC and all their fans.

becca e. 03/29/08
Welcom Lisa! As a UT fan, I wasn't too happy with the Louisville game, but I am pround of the Vols. And Louisville is a great team. In my pool at work, I picked TN to win against my better judgement in that bracket. I should have gone with my head rather than my heart. But also as a former Cincy gal I had to love the fact that Xavier won - at least I got that one right! Welcome again!
Jengal 03/29/08
Hey Rebecca! The Cards did an awesome job! I am so proud of them. I am died hard UK Blue girl, but I only root against the Cards once a year. I can't wait for the game tomorrow. Thanks for the welcome!

Jr. # 88 Fan, I appreciate the welcome! Thank you!
Hey Lisa...I am Rebecca and I also am from Louisville!! Or Lou-a-vull!!! LOL!! Great to have a hometown girl on here with me..how bout those Cards?!?!
becca e. 03/28/08
I was very pleased with the Louisville game, GO CARDS!!!!!!!!! I was pulling for WKU also since I am a Kentucky girl but still thought they did a great job making it to the Sweet Sixteen. The Xavier game was very good basketball. Bring on UNC Saturday....
becca e. 03/28/08
What did you ladies think about the NCAA games last night? Some of them were good games!!!! The WVU and Xavier game was a great game to watch!
Welcome Lisa!!
Cass, i think Nascarqueen and I were just voicing our concerns,no need to over-react.. You mentioned you would kick someone out weekly, I just didn't want to be the one when I leave on vacation for a week and a half, and couldn't post!
Hi, everyone! I am Lisa and I live in Louisville, KY. College basketball is my sport of choice, of course the fact that we don't have any professional sports teams may have a lot to do with that! I look forward to meeting everyone.
Everyone, please welcome Lisa from Louisville Kentucky as our newest member by sending her a personal fanmail introducing yourselves.
Roy 4 Cassidy 03/27/08
Jr and NASCAR Quuen, to be kicked out you would not have voted for a Beast of the Week for like a month or more. Chill
Roy 4 Cassidy 03/27/08
PLEASE, don't be kicking me out. I'm mainly a NASCAR gal but I can broaden my scopes so as not to get kicked out. I hate rejection!!!
NASCARQueen 03/27/08
Cassi, we should let you know when we go on vacation or something happens so we are not on the computer for a week or so then right?
So far the Yes leads the No in booting a member weekly who contributes nothing to this group. If that scares or inspires some of you to get with the majority OR be stubbornly minority, change your vote as you see fit as once Sunday hits the majority of the voters who are the groups regulars will have ruled.
Roy 4 Cassidy 03/27/08
gameon--- I love watching little boys and girls pley T-Ball. They will be looking in the crowd waving at parents and playing in the dirt!!! But we still must go and watch them and the joke is we usually really enjoy doing so!!!!
The first casualty of apethetic contributions to WRU is redskinmaniac. She has fallen in love with too many other groups to have even voted in the last three BOTW.

Kp I picked other also. We open out cottage in Spring and go there and enjoy the lake!!!
Poll question - I picked other. I spend Spring weekends doing yard work, outside house maintenance etc. usually with the Nascar race or Red Sox on the radio.
Houston Rockets beat skier Vonn 4-3 for BOTW. 20+ game win streaks are so freakin rare in the free agent roulette wheel that the NBA has become. Vonn kicked arse as well no doubt.

Okay, I'm a newbie. What's a BOTW? Where is the group page? I guess I'm pretty dense, huh?
NASCARQueen 03/15/08
Okay this group has 56 members and only 11 votes for BOTW? Thats pathetic. I will systematically root out these group corpses and replace them one by one.
Roy 4 Cassidy 03/15/08
Most of the voters have found that March Madness is the biggest thing upcoming in sports right now. I disagree. I think its the monster opener on the horizon in MLB.

I voted for the Houston Rockets for BOTW,
but depending an how Wales does in the six nation scrum this weekend--look out BOTW.

You guys haven't heard much from me, I'm still trying to figure this place out !!! Did you hear ??? TOYOTA got their first win in the Sprint Cup Series !!! Yahoo !!! YAY !!! Way To Go, I just wish it had been "Smoke" !!!
NASCARQueen 03/13/08
Where has everyone been lately?/ Not much going on right now in sprots!!
I have changed the MO of this group a bit. I am no longer writing a BOTW blog every week. If you want to know who won, come to the group page and check the photo on Monday. This week Carl Edwards won for basically winning two NASCAR races in a row, a feat unheard of unless you had previously driven for Hendrick Motorsports. The reason for the change is the amount of comments on the BOTW blogs suck.
Roy 4 Cassidy 03/10/08
there's a place for group e-mail to each of us? where's it at. my box must be stuffed. (blushes)

I'm ba-ack... it's been a crazy two (or is it three? I've lost count) weeks. Work got crazy. It always does in February/March...

Anyway, I've come begging Cass' forgiveness for not nominating/voting as of late. No excuses, but honestly, I turned on the news two times in the past two (three) weeks-- once to check the primary results and once to check the weather (which has been CRAP lately-- I love living in Ohio-- but I'll save that rant for my blog)...

Sorry once again...
buck-i-girl 03/07/08
I already have 40 in 2 days, it'll be up to 300 in 7 days. Can't they just put in a delete button?
I can't fanmail, i can reply if you fanmail me though.
becca e. 03/07/08
Is anyone else still having problems with the group mail? I have about 30 and can't delete and the read doesn't turn gray. Are the powers to be working on it?
Ladies--

A BOTW request. We get very similar nominations/winners every week, despite the fact that amazing efforts are being made by lesser known athletes worldwide. Instead of simply choosing the guy that won that race or golf tournament, I suggest we think--and look differently. There are those of us who don't follow auto racing, but are ultimately outnumbered by those of us who do. Frankly, Tiger wins most everything. The Cornell Big Red never have. Lindsay Vonn is about to set a new mark for American skiers. Aren't these all the more remarkable because of their less-than-hailed performances? Just my $.02.
upstatebosoxbabe 03/06/08

LOKI. 03/04/08
You all have got to read this in its entirety . . . it is absolutely hysterical!!
It is an actual letter sent to Proctor and Gamble from Wendi Aarons,
Austin TX, regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling
after the first paragraph . . .

Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your Always Maxi Pads for over 20 years
and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the
LeakGuardCore(tm) or Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go
horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of
running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite
feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the
only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads
be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month
knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from "the
curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" is
starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces
violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my
body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to
call "an inbred hillbilly with knife skills".

Isn't the human body amazing?

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-hygiene Division, you've no doubt
seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your
customers' monthly visits from "Aunt Flo ". Therefore, you must know
about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our
intense mood swings, crying, and out-of-control behavior. You surely
realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my
friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's
testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he
thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps? Crazy!

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just
crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... which brings me to
the reason for my letter.

Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to
reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always
maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these
words: "Have a Happy Period."

Are you f**king kidding me? Does any part of your tiny middle- manager
brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is
possible during a period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least
bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of
sick S&M freak, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in
which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock
yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Kmart
armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a
blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap
a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say
something that's actually pertinent, like "Put down the Hammer" or
"Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong", or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective
immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have
chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will
certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your
brand of condescending ****. And that's a promise I will keep.
Always.

Best, Wendi Aarons

There were tons of maybes in that Las Vegas race. Carl was dominant most of the race. What about Cali. A lot of maybes there too. I guess it is partly luck!
Since the BOTW thread isnt up yet.. Im nominating Carl Edwards. WTF ? 2 in a row?? If Jr hadnt spun his tires on that restart, he may have caught Edwards.
What do you mean by 'participate'?
no name at all 03/02/08

Thank you all for including me. It's nice to be wanted.

It is too cold to think about golf where most of us live. I can't watch it on TV.
Now where am I supposed to vote
Fibromyalgia=Bad Memory, Sorry
The majority of voters... hmmm, is that like four???
becca e. 02/28/08
Hey easy Peasy.. welcome.. !
FYI the majority of voters dont think about pro golf. No suprise.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/27/08
for B of the W i nominate Maria Sharapova. Undefeated so far in '08!
I love golf myself. I didn't see that choice.
becca e. 02/26/08

Roy 4 Cassidy 02/26/08

Roy 4 Cassidy 02/24/08
don't love the NBA??

GOOOOOOOO LAKERS! :)
SOCALGAL 02/23/08
hey, how come your pee wee reese came out and my sc..um....bag didn't
Dallas, I thought I got robbed with ****
Tony Stewart did well in the race as usual. He is a beast. In case anyone wants to be happy for me. Dallas Clark signed with the Colts for 6 more years.....jumping up and down...ouch....too old for that.
smoothsandy, I said Pee wee Herman once and it got censored.
Okay you guys I just made smoothsandy a supermember because she wants to blog from this group. Anybody else wants the same privelege just fanmail me. Thanks.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/21/08
Bottom line is once you see one of your words you wanted to use get censored you need to alter it slightly next time so it doesnt happen again. Example: siht
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/21/08
What is the criteria for censoring words. I see words way worse then what I use and I get censored. I used the word Sc.. bag, but I spelled it out.
Jasmine:

Damn skippy I do.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/21/08
Until Jr wins a race not including preraces, he will be known as the above. Right now he is still Hendrick's least decorated driver. I am not counting Casey Mears of course.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/21/08
That's the wrong number and car for Junior.
Poison Ivy 02/21/08
Okay, just kicked another person out of group: Jody Woodman, SI staffer who never contributed one iota to this group.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/20/08
Yeah well its not easy being me these days. Just say I had to do some serious FN housecleaing of my groups and now am relooking into all my so-called 450 "friends" Pic is up and I hope you enjoy it.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/20/08
OK, BOTW is Jr and I dont see a pic up there of JR (ahem Cassidy?)....
I have a lovely one if you want it....LOL
Or Ryan, whoever won!!!
becca e. 02/18/08
i am not much into NASCAR, but I haven't watched any sports this week so...Carl it is!!!
becca e. 02/18/08
Carl and Tony are the men!
I just don't get the NASCAR thing, but I really appreciate the passion the fans have for it...

Enjoy the day, fans!!!
buck-i-girl 02/17/08
This is my favorite day of the year-Daytona 500. Better than the Superbowl by far.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/17/08
Fact: only 12 percent of voters like the NBA. Uh Jasmine, that would be you sweetie.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/17/08
Congrats becca
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/17/08
becca, I have been a granny for 3 years now. Congratulations to you. My granddaughter is Payton. Named after Payton on One Tree Hill. You will have so much fun with her. Pay has 3 football jerseys, one baseball and one soccer jersey. She is in love with Dierks Bentley. She is my buddy. Have fun, there is nothing like it!!
I can't believe so many of you ladies don't like NASCAR. I would much rather watch it than baseball or golf.. But to each your own!!
I am a granny!! My granddaughter came three months early!! Her name is Lillian. She weights 2 pounds 11 ounces and is 13 inches long but both baby and mom are fine!!!
becca e. 02/15/08
many thoughts and prayers go out to the students and faculty at Northern Illinois Univ.....our hearts are with you today.
ATLfan15 02/15/08
Tracy, I have nothing to say to you. Nor do you have anything to say to me. Its done. Let it go already.
Geeeeesh, ladies.. This is pretty good reading.. LOL
THE DRAMA OF WOMEN R US..
FLETCH346 02/14/08
Looks like there has been some drama since I've been away. Can't we all just get along?
Poison Ivy 02/14/08
Cass & KP, since i have no idea what you're ranting about, i'll just go ahead and ask that you not make assumptions about the rest of us in the group. Thanks.
ATLfan15 02/13/08
Lord knows she sure trashed me pretty good too. And my kids .. she is done to me. Sorry Cass
Anybody else that wants to trash me like Tracy did last night go ahead and do it here and I will kick you out of this group too. I need women in here who are on the same page, not traitors.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/13/08
Until the playoffs start I could care less about the NBA. Look at last year. The Mavs kicked arse and won 57 games then lost in the first round of the playoffs! The real season starts when the playoffs begin.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/12/08
I love the NBA, Kobe and the LAKERS...
Punters in the NFL may have their hang time, but to me there is nothing more graceful or beautiful then Kobe going up, gliding through the air and coming down with a tomahawk jam.
SOCALGAL 02/12/08
I stopped watching pro basketball when it became less of a team sport and more individualized...

Hey Jasmine and Ruby-- y'all have to be floating on Cloud Nine right now with your choice for Pres...
buck-i-girl 02/12/08
I agree Peterson was a beast in the pro bowl...plays every game like it counts!
gameon 02/11/08
Watch out for Peterson next NFL season. The purple Peterson. He is the real deal if he stays healthy. Good looking too.
About the survey above. Indy is a basketball state. Even Larry Bird couldn't save the team this year. It has been like this since the Detroit brawl. They just show up for their paychecks. I think it is becoming a league-wide thing. What does everyone else think?
Maria Sharapova is great...as a tennis player, as a swimsuit model, but most of all, i absolutely love the beautiful earrings she wears.
Sport Princess 02/06/08
Hey did some one delete my locker talk about this group and NASCAR or did it not go thrU!!!!
Go Gaints! Go Gaints! Sorry that I've been gone. I've had a lot of school work to do, but I'm all caught up now!!! Did Imention....... Go Gaints!!!!!!
Poison Ivy 02/04/08
Congrats to all the Giant fans, they deserved to win the Superbowl..What a game!!!! Your defense held us down and offense played good enough to win.. Congrats to the Giants!!!
how true
Well, at least SHE can play the game, unlike the other overhyped blonde Russian...
buck-i-girl 02/03/08
Somebody once said Maria Sharapova was good looking. I didnt catch any one of the billion names who said it besides me.
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/03/08
My boss things Fannation takes up too much of the companys bandwidth which as a result slows down everybody in the companys computers a fraction of a second. If dude knew anything about computers he would work it in IT. Geez this sucks. I will have to make some weekend appearances apparently :==(
Roy 4 Cassidy 02/01/08
Greetings, PI! And great to have you as a friend, too!
upstatebosoxbabe 01/31/08
Finally, I'm off the most recent members list!! Thanks Poison Ivy :-)
welcome Ivy (cant call you poison, that would just be wrong...)
With Cass being blocked now during the day, we should all maybe help her out and step up to take on some of the things she does for the group. I'm willing to do what I can. Anyone else?
what's up Poison Ivy? she's my newest friend....welcome! :-)
ATLfan15 01/30/08
be strong Cass.....your employer just doesn't fully understand how entertaining this site can be. :-)now, put on a happy face and kick someone's **** in a TD....that should make you feel better. LMAO :-)
ATLfan15 01/30/08
Hey you guys please send a welcome fanmail to Taylor aka Poison Ivy our newest member. Whats good Taylor?!
Roy 4 Cassidy 01/30/08
Sorry I cant do more for this group during the week by my employer has firewall-proofed Fannation from me. Thanks a lot arsehole.
Roy 4 Cassidy 01/30/08
I try to stay on top of it, but my personal computer bit the dust so I can only post at work... sorry Cass! I do try to vote, though-- in fact, I voted twice last week...

:)
buck-i-girl 01/29/08
I meant for the non voting women to reply, not you Cass!!!
becca e. 01/29/08
Hey woman, I always post a nominee.. LOL
I was skiing all weekend and didnt get back till Monday nite.. I posted mine already :-)
Cass, the choices above did make me chuckle this morning!! LOL
Shyt!!!! I lost a bet with Jr. and had to blog about how great UConn is!!!!

Cass, i try to always vote. I don't like the choices that you have left above. So, why don't most women vote?? Please reply.

GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
becca e. 01/29/08
Is it just me or does FN community page suck out loud now? used to be 10 comments every 15 mins, now it like three. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Roy 4 Cassidy 01/28/08
I am pleased with the selection of Eli as BOW. He had been ridiculed by everyone, including his former teammate. Some would have folded under such pressure. Eli has proven to New York, that he is their guy.
Sorry havent been on for a while but storm knocked out my power and no computer access :(

Will be back ONLINE in FORCE tonight at 430pm Pacific time.
Roy 4 Cassidy 01/28/08
I'm freaking out today because there is nothing to watch on TV..Then after next Sunday, I will have nothing to watch till NASCAR starts.......
ESPN Classic must be running SOMETHING, right?
buck-i-girl 01/26/08
OMG, there is absolutely NO football on tomorrow!!! i'm startin' to get the shakes .....HELLLPPP MEEEEEE!!! :-)
ATLfan15 01/26/08
LOL!! Ain't nothing wrong with the "pole" every now and then!!!
becca e. 01/25/08
LOL becca, that statement can be taken in a different sense cuz you spelled "poll" as "pole."

Like, a woman winning a pole then she gets to be the Beastess...

I must go do penance for my irrelevant thoughts now.
hey, if a woman ever wins our pole, she can be The Beastess of the Week!!!!!
becca e. 01/25/08
