Talk Fantasy Football

I'm tellin' ya, the kid comes through for me.

Even searching through old threads, it's usually his post that is the first one that actually gives me the information that I need in a concise, easy to understand sentence or two.

Each to their own!

Although 'concise' surely has to be a wind up.

SillySod does help people out a lot and gives good advice.
I think we can forgive him a little studenty nonsense.

With Fumbbl down we can't see how many humiliating spankings (defeats) he has given Purp.

And yes, I'll get more Dodge. Mother

He's suprisingly on topic, relevant and coherent. It sort of sneaks up on you because he does it under this guise of being some overzealous spammer but if you actually look at what he writes, it's chock full of relevant and helpful information.

Will have to bio this one, its funny even if it might be true

I forgive him too - he knows I'm not having a pop, more of a gentle rib.

And I think we're yet to meet on the pitch. Personal records don't matter an awful lot anyway, a handful of games with one guy from a pool of hundreds isn't really a basis for bragging rights. My Vamps have a far better record than his, that'll do.

And back on topic... I checked the site this morning!

Really? I havent checked your vamps out (well, I cant remember them) but have you seen the stats my team has? I think I hit -43 TS vs darkies Either way I hope you'll be bringing your vamps to the XFL

Wait, only one way this can be resolved..... take vampires to the GT!

Head to head is what counts. If that game is a tournament final then all the better.

Well, that's all doubtful. I'd like to do OK, so I won't take them to the GT, XFL tournaments bore me (although, I'll admit Vamps is one of the better ones), and it's the build up exercise to be competitive that I don't like about [R] tournaments anyways. I'm not a tooting my own horn kind of guy, but my Vamps do nicely.

It was just a giggle anyway - did I hit a nerve?

Depends on sample size. If you get 10 or more games played and they're all with even teams (you don't always get that, especially in [L] or tourneys), then you're probably right. But with it being a game of dice and all, and with most of us not having the patience to hunt the same guy down multiple times with super-even teams, your record over a larger number of games against a band of coaches all of the same (high) standard is probably a better indicator.

Why would I care about results against other coaches?
that sounds like CR.

If you want bragging rights you gotta beat da guy.

Dunno, if Goo wants to judge on a CR stlye system... oh look



PS perhaps I oughta verify claims before I make em

Nope. CR is utterly worthless as it stands (and by that I mean the equation is great, but the system it is applied to is flawed). It's not even worth looking at (and I don't). I just don't think a small snatch of individual records mean a great deal with BB's random elements, but a wider pool of matches against a few coaches you've both played might well show some pointers.

Anyway - we're far, far, far off point. Who cares? Shurrup.

FUMBBL is currently down until May 16th.
I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

I guess this ends the poll on this thread.

And although the poll has something to do with fumbbl the Macavity/Pie option is missing!!!

Utterly worthless sounds a bit strong. CR 130 vs CR180 would surely give you some hints.

If the equation is great then surely CR wouldn't be useless. The equation should take into account blatant cherry picks better than it does now.

A good rivalry isn't about scientifically working out who is the greatest. It's about having a bit of fun.

I'm surprised that the original point didn't get the thread locked for Fumbbl silliness.

Our macavity vs pie poll got deleted
