NFL All-Star Scrabble Team

What happens when you pick an all-star team, not for their skill, but for the Scrabble scoring potential of their last names? You get: The NFL All-Triple Word Score Team.

In the end, I heavily considered starting a fullback (Chris Hetherington of the 49ers) but felt that my performance would be improved with a third wide receiver — Joe Jurevicius, because 22 always beats 19. Besides, even with a lead blocker, Obafemi Ayanbadejo can’t establish the run. So with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a gunslinger, he will be better suited with three wideouts and a tight end.

What is especially funny to me are the comments that point out the logical fallacies of the concept. For example:

Real nice, except…

1) You only can spell a maximum of a 7 letter word unless letters have already been placed…and this would change your scores.

2) You’ve exceeded the number of several letters in the tiles.

Nice try, tho.

As if the entertainment value of it is somehow diminished because he wasn't following official Scrabble rules. Maybe he was using a Super Scrabble set!
