What does Cutthroat Pirates mean?


I have been asked where did I come up with Cutthroat Pirates and what does it mean? Well, basically I am a fantasy football junky. I have been playing fantasy football for 5 years now. I currently have 3 teams in 3 different leagues. As you all know from this blog, I am a huge Bucs fan. I wanted my fantasy team name to have something to do with the Bucs. So I picked pirates and my wife came up with the Cutthroat part so: Cutthroat Pirates was developed. My team is QB Donovan McNabb (Eagles), running backs are Cadillac Williams (Bucs) and Warrick Dunn (Falcons), Wide Receivers are Chris Chambers (Dolphins), Terrell Owens (Eagles), and Santana Moss (Skins). My TE is Jeremy Stevens (Seahawks) Kicker is Rackers (cardinals) and my defense is the Giants. With this team of studs I am 7-1.

I must also post on my Blog; A little pat on the back. My brother-in-law and I have a once a year Madden EA SPORTS Football game, which used to be on xbox, but now its on PS2 (Another Story on why xbox to PS2). He is always the Miami Dolphins and I am of course the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last year he destroyed me and then moved to Colorado. So I have not been able to get my revenge. Well he flew in this weekend for a family emergency and we found time to get a game in. Yes, the Bucs beat the Dolphins this year. As Khan said in Star Trek II, "Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in Playstation 2 Land." Remember its in the Game.

Ahem, well where do I begin. Maybe the brother-in-law in question wasn't used to the gameplay on the PS2. It could have been jetlag.It's even possible he believes in the Animal House maxim "Don't get mad, get even."

Be afraid...

Oh my dear brother-in-law, my bucs on PS2 will never be afraid and we await your return.

You, know me, you will always have your chance to get even, the question is can you?

Lol, you probably knew I would pick the '72 Dolphins so you had them programmed to play as bad as the Leeman Bennett Bucs.
