Backing up, you need to understand that I grew up in a family that played games, especially cards. Years ago, my sister, Amy, was on a pretty good losing streak and one day my grandmother said to her, "Amy, you're a born loser." (We all think Grandma's pretty funny. Except Amy.) Years later, we're playing cards and Amy was doing really well. Since Grandma wasn't at that family gathering, JR took a small picture of Grandma and put it next to Amy, as though to curse her. And it works. Amy went downhill from there, and didn't win the rest of the weekend.
So naturally, when JR called me on Thursday night asking for a picture of Grandma, I burst out laughing. This is what he put up as his team logo:
But better still, is the logo Amy (AKA Keisha--which is a story for another time) has for her team:
For real, for real. So this is what the match up looked like:
JR's slogan was, "Amy, you are a born loser." And sure enough, he won by 20 points. I'm not sure which is funnier, the fact that Grandma took on Keisha (and won), or the fact that JR pulled out a decade old Grandma curse to win in fantasy football.
Better still, when I told Grandma JR used her curse on Amy, her response was, "Meh."
