1. What is your name? And which team do you manage?
Hello, my name is Lou Schafer, and I'm an alco....wait, that's another group, isn't it? Okay, hello, my name is Lou Schafer, aka The Commissioner's wife's man around the house (who does all the odd jobs around here and talks to all the oddballs that call on the phone everyday....oh, wait, there's Bob calling now). I manage the Nashville Nimrods. For those of you that don't know, Nimrod was a Mesopotamian king, a disrespectful, mad tyrant who was responsible for building the Tower of Babel in the first city after the flood. He was the son of Cush, grandson of Ham, great-grandson of Noah (of ark fame); and his name means "a mighty one on the earth" and comes from the verb "let us revolt." So, from now on, you can just call me "The Mighty One."
2. What do you do for work?
Work?? I don't really work (hell, I don't even get out of my chair much these days, 'cept to go get a cup of coffee). But Anita and I do own our own business called GrantSelect (www.grantselect.com). Still, we both fail to see the importance of actually "working" for a living...the most difficult part of our day is deciding what to watch on TV.
3. What would you rather be doing?
Hmmm, this is a great question. I can actually think of a huge number of things I would rather be doing than sitting here, typing on the blog. In particular, I would like to be relaxing on a Czeers MK1 prototype solar speedboat out in the middle of Lake Pontchartrain, fishing and falling asleep...
4. How did you end up playing fantasy football with this bunch?
I actually started this whole crazy thing about five years ago when I had nothing better to do but drink (a lot of people have actually offered me big money to shut the operation down), and it has since gotten way the hell out of control. How I ended up with this assorted, maniacal, crazy-ass bunch, I can't quite say, but I have paid good money for a whole lot of therapy sessions because of it. All I know is, you're all my main source of entertainment and grief....
