Signings from around the league

Strange things are afoot in the PFFL, with Halloween weekend only a lame excuse.

For starters there was an absurd bidding/waiver wire war for Rod Smith, who had earlier been cut from the Balcoholics. League insiders were dumbfounded by the amount of interest and cautious smacktalk that the pickup warrented.

Another bizzare pickup was the Gay Momz employing Drew Bennett. From the AP " Wide receiver Drew Bennett returned to practice Wednesday, but he is still sporting a cast to protect his injured thumb and was limited to running routes with the scout team." This means the Gay Momz will most likely be sitting Drew Bennett until he heals up and is able to catch lots of passes from the walking corpse known as Steve McNair.

Last but certainly strangest was Los Chinchillas's addition of Vinnie Testeverde, the mascot of the Burbank Testeverdes. While last year the Long Beach Lusters had great success playing the Philly Fanatic at Tight End, no one considered that the same idea could possibly work twice. Only time will tell if the gimmick-laden Chinchillas know what they're doing.

The lone bright spot in movement this week was Burbank's cutting of Dante Culpepper, AKA Mr. No-Show, AKA Dante's Inferno, AKA Dante Chokepeper, AKA Dante NoMoss, AKA Captain Asshole of the Love Cruise. He ended the season with 6 TDs and 12 INTs, and there has been some question as to the health of his knee. It was last seen being backwards and only held on by a little scrap of tendon.
