Mrs. Commish ordered me a custom football for our anniversary, and it arrived today. Below are two photos of the finished product. The custom footballs are produced by Wilson.

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary, and, apparently, the traditional gift for a three-year anniversary is leather. So, my awesome wife ordered a customized football from Wilson specifically for the Arrogant Americans.
Best. Anniversary. Gift. Ever. For those interested, the custom footballs are $69.99 at Wilson. Here are the designs of the two panels on my football: Justin C. Cliburn and Adam Duffy ordered their custom mini football helmets today from Helmet Nation. The Arrogant Americans and Hangovers helmets will be the first for any OIL franchise. They are in production now and will be prominently featured here in 4-6 weeks. Stay tuned.
The Commissioner is a big fan of The Big Lead's Roundup posts each morning. If you only visit one page each morning for sports and pop culture, the Roundup should be it. The Big Lead is a blog owned by USA Today that mainly covers sports but also touches on everything from politics to pop culture. Today it linked to our oral history of the Hangovers/Arrogant Americans rivalry.
Championship: The Dogs of War Win Stunner over Defending Champion Arrogant Americans

Aaron Cobb is officially an OklahomIraqis champion, joining Kevin Pyle, Lyndal Morgan, Jack Bruesch, Josh Hastings, and Justin Cliburn in the elite club. It took him seven years to do it, but he succeeded in his first OIL Bowl appearance. Here is the final tally: The Arrogant Americans have no excuses. No one on the bench would have made a difference. No waiver wire QB would have done better than Brady. Kudos to Cobb for winning the championship while starting Mendenhall, Reece, and Powell.
And here is where Cobb places among the rest of the OIL champions: Your commissioner and champion has changed zip codes (with much help from The Adam Duffy), so the Harrington Trophy has found a new place to call home as well. It's not the most glamorous of mantles, but I'm not complaining. I'll see all of you at the draft on the 27th in Lawton. There, I'll let you touch the Harrington if you'd like. I can't wait for this season to start, my first one as a defending champion. I'm starting a new career path and don't know how much free time I'll have, HOWEVA, I will never forget that our trophy is named after a man who won the entire ESPN.com network of fantasy football leagues while losing his job, his girlfriend, his health and his home. Arrogant Americans in 2011! Cliburn's Americans nudged into first place (by 1.25 points . . . for the season) with a 183.15 point showing against Jessen's DominationStation. If the Steelers hadn't wet the bed Sunday night, it could have been worse for the Station, but the 183 points were enough for tops in the league week eight. Finch's squad gave a big FUCK YOU to competition, dignity, football, the OklahomIraqis League, and pride with a pitiful 78.8 point "effort" against Morgan's Whackers, who we can safely say will not be picking first in next year's draft. |
