Rusty Steak Knives Thwarted by Cats, Anti-Tetanus Technology


The Carolina Panthers Cardiac Cats are the 2008 Logan Mankins Lost Weekend Fantasy Football League Champions. This after a dismal 2007 season in which the team managed to win nothing but the first pick in the 2008 draft.

After the game, GM and Coach Bry-Guy Cotton had this to say: "It's only fitting, though, that the Cardiac Cats would live up their names once again, winning on Monday night by less than 3 points for the 4th time this season." The only question left to be answered is whether or not the Championship Mankins Jersey/Trophy comes in Black and Teal/Aqua.

The Cardiac Cats used a strategy not yet enacted in the league in which the GM's favorite NFL team is chosen to represent him in the LMLWFFL season. Though the Call Me Obama!s have managed to seek out as many Cardinals and Lions during this season.

This was the second year for Barker's Rusty Steak Knives to bring home the Conference Championship as the team overcame impossible odds after losing league beauty Tom Brady. Through its Wide Receiver acquisitions, the team is poised to make yet another run at the LMLWFFL Championship next year.

In other news, Tetanus was once again thwarted by a combination of parental involvement and the work of German bacteriologist Emil Adolf von Behring all the way back in 1890. A local child managed to find a Rusty Steak Knife in a pile of compost in a neighbor's yard that was found through rummaging around the pile. The rusty knife did puncture the child's finger and it was the attentive reaction by the child's parents along with the tetanus vaccine created by von Behring that helped keep the child from contracting the bacteria, also commonly known as "lock-jaw". There are roughly five tetanus related deaths in the United States every year.
