Also I wanted to say that I do feel bad for the teams that got gutted or lost a lot of players, but I have stressed since day 1 that I only signed people for my team from the start that I got via mature responses through PMs and that I never just "carpetbombed" offers out to people without talking to the individual first and assessing their character and desire to be on my team. I would attribute my lack of player turnover to my work at filtering out people likely to leave before I even signed them.

I sent people long educated arguments for why they should play for me, the ones that bothered to read it and we talked and eventually I signed them, some of them I worked very hard to get off their teams and it took weeks for me to get them.

I also lost key talent this offseason

I believe that most of those guys havent boosted yet, so they will be probably L20,L20 and L17/L18 by the playoffs. I just let those people go, there was no drama, because people play for me because I take care of them and they know that I am working hard to ensure that each and every one of my players is taken care of. Most of the time I answer questions before people ask them and I track their snaps ensuring that they get maximal experience and that I dont have unnecessary depth that just makes everyone unhappy ... all I am after is a happy team who levels and wins and because of my work that is what happens.

So if you think that I just got some sort of magic advantage because I started early (I started later than many teams at Game 9 of Season 1), I kept all my people (I work very hard to ensure they are happy and that they know that I am working for them to be happy) and that we win (I scout games for at least 4 hours, even games that I dont really have to, it is not an accident that we continue to win, or "just levels" I work hard to ensure that there arent any surprises.)

If I was gloating that I win and dont even need to try, yes I understand that would be insulting, however what I am saying is that I try no matter what and that I just want some people to make it more interesting and so that I can take a look at the numbers from games around the league and know that those numbers mean something. Also as I said before, I could really use some defensive snaps badly, my snap tracking shows me that there is really something wrong with the competition and I can tell by snaps how competitive a game really was. Of course that is what 2 seasons of tracking numbers will get you, hard work.


Jesus dude dont you get it?

You insult most everyone, every time you speak.

No one is questioning your abilities....you are questioning everyone else's and when they defend themselves you cite examples of how you rose above those same adversitys.

We know most of your roster is aggie driven, just like invaders is texan driven. Your going to "stress" to us how you built a strong foundation?

Dont begin to tell me you know what it's like to send out 500 offers to players to get 1 of them to sign on ur losing pro team.

Ur one of the most narcissistic people Ive ever come across.

Your D cant get snaps?...they cant level fast?....thats natural selection....our O's will catch your D sooner then huh? There's your competition, just takes some time.

Randy you really need to learn how to socialize better


toysldr007....dude stop apologizing to this guy, what you have said is spot on

Please let's try to be adults about this and let it lie. I did not want to caus trouble over how I felt till I realized what Randy was trying to say not hwo it came out????


There's no need to apologize, seriously. Oso and Randy have their own issues with each other regardless of what you posted. Some others are just chiming in on the subject. It's not like we are going to get in a gun fight about this. It's just differing opinions.

Exactly Drew .. Oso and I just arent compatible personalities, that is fine.

No need to worry about people not agreeing there Toy, its part of interacting with other people.

Anyhow no need to hijack the thread anymore, I just wanted to state that I am a person in favor of "more churn" even if that included my own team, because if I had a non-competitive team Id want lower ASAP.

Yes, but I dont see them winning any more of their games. Cincinnati was a huge shock though, but a -3 TO margin will do that to you, in the NFL they count a TO as a TD .. so if you give up 21 points in a 5 point loss, yeah .. that is bad. It is clear from the game stats that Cincinnati is a better team, but the TOs and not being able to get into the endzone on one of their 4 FGs is what killed them.

However, New Jersey and more importantly their owner, I guess is around at least 1 more year for us to deal with ;D

Welll you look at the gaem, they won it on three plays. ONE a INT on the 7 yard line to stop a TD.
TWO a run to the outside that went for I think it was 67 yards. there was D there to stop them, but they looked at each other as he ran by.
Three. a INT in the last minute of the game on th 12 yardline to stop a last secodn score.
Hwoever it is, they pulled it out their ass that is for sure.

That's ok, Prague only won their game by two plays...so I know how Cincy must feel.

Wow I popped in and was all excited because I saw 38 comments on my power rankings.

Heh. I shoulda known better.

One of these days Prague will lose... it might not be to my team but I can assure you they aren't going to win the title 10 years running. I enjoy the competition and it gives my team something to shoot for having such a dominant team in the league. We tried something completely out of our ordinary today because they are such a good team and they still won going away. Kudos to them, I'll say it first hand, they deserve the respect that no one seems to be giving them.

It is nice that in the Pro League the champion sticks around and the league can have another crack at them. I know this may change with the whole "Champions League" idea. But right now I like to see the champ have to defend the title.

I think the championship league is a good Idea. But do it as a playoff format. and the league champs have to come back home and play in the PRO league once again to defend their much coveted title. I just don;t want that long of a break between seasons. LOL

Stick with the bottom 2, look at Sheboygan. We almost got kicked out last year and now this year we are undefeated.
