Dear Eldon,
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me to discuss the sales role with the Beauty and Home division of Aptar yesterday. I enjoyed our conversation and getting to know your perspective on the company and what it takes to be successful within the industry.
I have learned an extraordinary amount about Aptar as well as myself throughout this process. My visit yesterday solidified my interest in working for the company, which is clearly an organization that collaborates and works diligently towards the common goal of success. During the day the term competitive nature arose numerous times. I feel that my personal background and professional experience embody that very characteristic to the core. The drive and competitiveness I have does not allow me to settle for previous success but grow and learn from any defeats by taking responsibility and action. I am eager to bring my previous successes to Aptar which includes fostering client relationships, learning and adapting quickly to changing needs, as well as my overall ambition to be professionally successful. The opportunity to become one of the sales organizations ‘double agents’ excites me and my personality is one that I believe would fit that role very well. I understand the challenges a new industry and work environment may present but I am convinced my enthusiasm, passion, and experiences make me the best candidate for the job.
I want to reiterate and cannot stress enough my strong desire to become a student of the industry and of Aptar. This is an opportunity I have been looking for in my career and I know that I will give everything I can, everyday, to drives sales if brought on board. I look forward to hearing from the team regarding the decision. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at (732) 551-6181 or email at koconnorjr@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Kevin O’Connor Jr

No, Kenny Britt had no impact in the BDFL but that was one helluva catch!

Wow, I don’t know that I’ve ever participated in fantasy football and had an entire league with this much left to play for going into the final week of the regular season!

Let’s first take a look at this past weekend and what went on. . .

All Eyes on MNF 
Only one game is in the books and that comes from Quigs trying to play the spoiler in these closing weeks.  He takes out Murph and the Irish Car Bombs as they suffer their 4th loss in a row.  That puts Murph at 6-6 and essentially in a tie for the 5th and 6th playoff spot but that is only where it begins.  Quigs is done and while it looks as though Murph is on the bubble he essentially has locked up a spot due to tiebreaking scenarios.  Murph gets prestige worldwide next week and even if he loses there he would finish at 6-7 and tied for one of the last spots but make it in because he holds almost an 80 point lead in total points.  With that said. . .

A Brees from the Old Pierre
I don’t even know what that means but I figured I’d try to be cute and use both of their names in there.  WWJD holds a 62 point lead over prestige worldwide who will need a big night from both Drew Brees and Pierre Thomas in tonights shootout.  That is certainly not out of the question and has me worried.  I need the win but Jeff could use one as well to stay in place for a first round playoff bye as well as the $50 division champion prize.  While a win will help me this week, I’ll need another next week with some quite a bit of help from some friends.

Who Wants it Moreoney?
Tieds is certainly hoping that Tom Brady doesn’t go nuts tonight but if he does he’d like him to throw it to Wes Welker, everytime.  ScratchinMyCotchery is down 14 but has Tom Brady and Laurence Maroney going up against PeterKingsCleavage and Wes Welker.  Both teams are currently 5-6 and the loser will be fighting for their life next week.  As a matter of fact, if Drew loses tonight he is all but out of the playofffs by default.  A loss puts him at 5-7 and Tieds at 6-6.  Unfortunately for Drew he has significantly less total points on the season to be able to enter into a tie so he would need to win out to get in.  As for Tieds, a loss isn’t the end of the world but would make for a showdown next week to determine the final playoff spot in his matchup with WWJD (barring a win for them this week).  Sorry Drew but I am rooting for Tieds tonight because if he wins I can atleast have my fate in my own hands, however, I’m not going to root for too many points because I currently have the lead in that category.  It doesn’t end there either Drew because if you win this week I’ll be rooting against you even more next week as you take on my man PFord.

Show Him the Money! 
Even though Tim has locked up a playoff spot that doesn’t mean there is nothing left to play for.  Down by less than a point with Stephen Gostkowski going up against Wildpat and Jeremy Shockey, a win would award Tim at least one of the two $50 regular season prizes.  A win tonight makes Tim the division champ and puts him in excellent position to win the total points category as well.  Not bad huh?  Well, Ryan may not be in the money but he is certainly not out of it and is fighting for a much desired bye in the playoffs.  If Ryan wins, Paul holds off PFord and Jeff loses, we’ll have an interesting finish for the two byes and the division championship.

Can Colston Carney a Comeback?
See that?  Did it again.  I’m good.  Paul and the Mud Ducks currently hold a 40 point lead over Pford who has Marques Colston and John Carney left to play for.  Seems like a stretch but with an expected high scoring shootout these kickers are going to be putting up some points.  With that said, if Carney is busy tonight it most likely means Colston is doing well also.  A win here for Pford means nothing, but pride, while a loss for the Mud Ducks puts them back at 7-5 and will mean no resting in the playoffs.  Better yet, a win keeps them in the hunt for a possible first round bye.  What a season it has been for them.

Soo. . . . . . . wtf does that all mean?
Nothing is set in stone as of yet.  Stay tuned for more on possible scenarios for each team to make a little sense of this all.

Catch him if you can.

17/197/2, 9/87/1.
Numbers Drew hopes he doesn’t see again.   ScratchinMyCotchery is up by about 41 points with nobody left to play while prestige worldwide needs a big night out of Chris Johnson as well as the Tennessee defense.  Not to worry Drew, the last time these two teams met the Titans defense scored 1 fantasy point.  That still gives you a 40 point edge, way too much for CJ to overcome, right? 17/197/2, 9/87/1.  Those aren’t random numbers.  It’s the statline from Chris Johnson in their week 2 meeting, totaling in 55 points.  With that said, I don’t think he will repeat that, especially with Vince Young now the QB but it will make for a very interesting night for both Drew and Jeffrey.

Not Over, but, It’s Over
The other game is a lot less interesting.  It’s between myself and Quigs and the USMC football team trail by 62 points.  Luckily for him he still has Matt Schaub going tonight who also put up 45 points in the week 2 shootout.  Only problem is that everytime he hits Andre Johnson or scores a TD I get points as well.  Doesn’t look good for Patrick.

Ouch 
.24.  That’s the margin of victory that the Mud Ducks were able to pull out thanks to a decent (?) game from Jay Cutler.  Peyton Manning and Wildpat put together one of the uglier weeks of their season and slips into a tie now with the Ducks for 3rd place.  For, Paul, it’s yet another very impressive victory in his continuous climb from an 0-3 start.

That’s a Wrap Folks
-Tony Romo is awful yet again and ICB is taken down by the Full Moon Masacre.
-Tieds started Michael Turner in an attempt to throw in the towel yet still pulls out a lopsided win over PFord.

Justin Forsett l RB l Seattle Seahawks
Winner: Wildpat (14)
Others: WWJD (2)

No Other Bidders on the following players, all owned by WWJD?
Jamaal Charles l RB l KC Chiefs (2)
Jason Snelling l RB l Atlanta Falcons (1)
Ladell Betts l RB l Washington Redskins (1)
Bernard Scott l RB l Cincinatti Bengals (1)

With the season ending injuries to Ronnie Brown and Brian Westbrook both moves make sense for each of us.

Even crazy eyes get girls Murph.

Previously in the BDFL, shortened version. . .

Wildpat [139.38] over Irish Car Bombs[126.84]
How’d They Do It?: Peyton Manning is just ridiculous.  There really isn’t any team that can slow him down which means Wildpat will be in every single game.

ScratchinMyCotchery [146.5] over USMC Football [121.44]
How’d They Do It?: Every single one of Drew’s guys scored 10 or more points except for his kicker.  Tom Brady put it away with just over 40 points as well.  Moss hand his monster Sunday evening went all for naught.

Mud Ducks [168.5] over PeterKingsCleavage [137.44]
How’d They Do It?: Huge days from Brandon Marshall, Steven Jackson and even LT were more than enough for Paul to take home the win and overcome an awful performance by Jay Cutler. 

prestige worldwide [129.12] over PFord [102.76]
How’d They Do It?: Big Ben was disgustingly bad being outscored by most RBs and WRs around the league let alone every QB.  That’s never going to help but neither is having just 1 player over 12 points on your roster.  Jeff escapes with a win in another weak performance.

Full Moon Masacre [138.2] over WWJD?[125.0]
How’d They Do It?: Both teams started the wrong people, Tim just happened to start less of them.  Donovan McNabb had a ridiculous day that he’ll never repeat and it was all on my bench.  Awesome

Yet to Play: WWJD?, Irish Car Bombs, Wildpat
Projected finish: 0-3

That’s pretty much how I see things shaken down. Hopefully I’m wrong but should be interesting.

1.  (2)  prestige worldwide [8-2]
Putting one of these top teams #1 is tough to do but when you have the best QB in the league and he struggles but you still blow away the team you are playing, that’s impressive.  Chris Johnson is playing out of his mind as well.

2. (1)  Wildpat [7-3]
Peyton Manning.

3. (4)  Full Moon Masacre [8-2]
Reggie Wayne.

4. (5)  Mud Ducks [6-4]
Very impressed by this squad.  If only they had a QB that was decent.  Good thing you didn’t want any Eagles.

5. (3)  Irish Car Bombs [6-4]
Tough team to figure out here.  Tony Romo looks awful recently. He had 8 points yesterday up until the end of the 4th quarter.

6. (7)  ScratchinMyCotchery [4-6]
Brady is back and so is Drew.  Calvin Johnson is healthy as well.  This team is starting to roll so look out.

7. (6)  PeterKingsCleavage [4-6]
If Turner is really hurt Mike is in trouble.  Matt Forte continues to struggle running the ball. Greg Jennings might be the bust of the year at WR.  Wes Welker is his saving grace right now.

8. (8)  What Would Jones-Drew?[3-7]
Apology accepted.

9. (10) USMC Football [2-8]
Jason Campbell, gross.  Marion Barber’s career looks over but Quigs wont go down without a fight thanks to Randy Moss.
I
10. (9)  PFord [2-8]
Well, at least the engagement party was a blast.

Thanks Ray Ray.
