Bonjour, mon amies




Hi, everyone. Did you miss me? It's OK, you can admit it. You missed me, didn'tcha?

Let's take a look to see how things are going on the ol' YouBeQB site, hmm? I thought it might be interesting to highlight some of the real 'power users'. Who are the QBs who are just dedicating blood, sweat, and tears to the site - these are the people who are just *muscling* through a ton of games, calling plays, living and dying with every game.



We love all of these people, and we would like to name our first six children after them:



1) 175 games ( VY10FAN ) - VY10FAN has been featured for his stellar performances previously in Da Blog, and here he is getting some more ink now. VY has strapped on his helmet and quarterbacked a staggering 175 pro & college games - in less than two months. I don't know when Dude sleeps, but he's probably calling plays while he is clocking Z's. All of this play-calling has allowed VY10FAN to rise to the ranking of #2 overall for the entire site - he still trails FOZZIE, who owns the #1 spot. FOZZIE makes me chuckle a little bit, because when you look at his profile, where you can list your favorite teams, he's got like - no lie - 60 teams listed. Your head is going to pop off, bro.

(Quirky note: I see that VY10FAN's user number is #666 (look in the address of the link when you click on his name, and the number at the end of it is the user number). I'm sure this is a *complete* coincidence, and NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that VY10FAN has cut a deal with the devil to allow him to QB like 25 games a week.)


2) 169 games ( vy10fanz ) - OK, what's going on here? Are these first two QB names a prank or something? Is someone playing a joke on poor JohnnyU?! I'm not the smartest guy in the world (though I'm probably not the dumbest, either -- though I could be in the bottom three at any given time.) How could the two QBs who have called the most games both have nearly identical QB names? What the flock is happening?



VY say: "You fellas better stop using my name
before I hit you up for likeness rights royalties, homes."




3) 168 games ( Davidtodahalloffame ) - I'm not sure if David has the longest QB name on YouBeQB, but he's got to be in the conversation there somewhere.



Miscellaneous tidbits (found on FootballGuys):

  • The Rams, Bengals and Chiefs have 2 rushing TDs combined. Last year they had 44.
  • The Browns had 22 offensive TDs last season. This year they already have 19
  • More Browns - They averaged 14.9 points per game in 2006 and currently average 27.8 points in 2007.
  • The Rams had 39 total TDs last year. This year they have only 5 TDs so far and are pace for just 13.
  • The Eagles and Saints had 48 and 46 total TDs respectively last year. This year they each have 10 TDs so far and are on pace for just 32 TDs.
  • New England had 43 total TDs last year. This year they already have 29 TDs and are on pace for 77.
Have a great weekend of football action on YouBeQB!
