(We didn't know "master" was a rank of pirate, but whatever.) Here's the synopsis:

On "Pirate Master," 16 contestants will live aboard a 179-foot, square-rigged barque. Over the course of 33 days, they'll live as buccaneers, traveling around a Caribbean island in search of a treasure totaling $1 million. Each episode will find the contestants gathering at Pirate's Court, overseen by host Cameron Daddo, where they'll state their case and somebody will be cut adrift.

It is encouraging to know that someone out there remembers Okoye as fondly as we do. It is also encouraging to know that that someone would like to see him dressed up in an eyepatch and saying the word "scurvy." Our fingers are crossed that he has a parrot.

<![CDATA[Honoring Fantasy Football's Greatest]]> On the list of strange potential tourist attractions, we have to say, the upcoming Fantasy Football Hall of Fame has to be pretty high up there. Football Outsiders has the story of the new venture, which will be based in Pennsauken, N.J. (and we have to say, New Jersey seems like just the place, doesn't it?).

OK, fine, so the story isn't real, and there isn't really a fantasy football hall of fame being erected, but jeez, wouldn't it be nice? FO is even sweet enough to come up with an inaugural class. The specifications are clear: Inductees had to have played five years in the NFL, they must have had a real impact on fantasy football and they must have no possible opportunity to sneak in the real Hall of Fame.

The first class includes Randall Cunningham (the very definition of a first-ballot fantasy football Hall of Famer), Natrone Means, Chris Warren, Ben Coates and, our personal favorite, Christian Okoye (pictured, inexplicably above, with President Bush). Our personal ballot would have to include Barry Foster and Moe Williams, but that's us.
