And Coach, what exactly did the Aces do to beat your Bourbon Street Bullies? According to my logic, Continentals would also beat your team in a scrimmage. And aren't you guys in 1st place or something?


If you actually believe all of this, your short-sightedness is a much larger issue than the league in which you play.

Sorry, BSB has the big picture in mind at all times...

We established a policy at the beginning of the season (Doomsday Sin) that we would not take scrimmages from lower level (league) teams unless we knew the owners or the team had a quality rep... you have absolutely nothing to gain from these "scrimmages" except these type of threads popping up. "Ooh my BBB team beat your AAA team and we are better... someone please pay attention to us". In reality any owner who has been around a while who has any sense will be trying to adjust their tactics or just totally disregard them because of the importance of late season playoff seeding.

From what I have seen most of these scrimmages should take place when Bort "Borks" the game mechanics or after the season. Trying to get 46 players ready for your regular game is pretty difficult over the course of two days... throw a scrimmage in there and try and change tactics drastically and then change them back... you have to be a one man team.


I dont think we (philadelphia) actually said anything. It was just galaxy haters talking, not us. The aces have accomplished more than any team in the game. If their owner didnt constantly run his mouth, no one would have even noticed this.

The blowback has nothing to do with a BBB team beating a pro team. Its not the first and wont be the last time thats happened. You dont hear about it every time because fanboys dont follow most pro teams around and taunt them when they lose. It happens to the aces because they do things like try to humiliate other marquee teams by throwing stupid ass retirement bets and other nonsense around.

And, come on, do you really think we gameplanned for this any more than the aces did? We have the same time restrictions you do when it comes to getting tactics set.

Scrimmages are just that, scrimmages. Not a money on the line game.

Aces should just take the "Tim Harper" route and explain after each loss how they didn't take the game seriously and were just testing out some new settings.

Not to take anything away from your win, but it absolutely does NOT. One victory by one team against ONE other team proves only one thing - under scrimmage circumstances, you were better than the Aces (who play a scrimmage game daily and do not gameplan for any of them besides maybe DDL and Kai). It says NOTHING generally about Pro league.

Good win kid, but you are making WAY more out of it than it was.

You know what's funny? They feel so tough when they beat one of us in a scrimmage (doesn't matter which team, even if they beat Sparta Wardogs they come to point it out) and then they say 'USA Pro is overrated, but we are the best because we have beaten one of you" lol.

Go back to your hole dude. We are in season 4 and you still in BBB, if you were any good you'd be at least on AA.

Not to discredit your win (congratulations), but Flames has taken a little leave from GLB and is mostly just logging in here and there, and he has more going on in his life right now than GLB. To my knowledge no one else has Offensive AI capabilities and therefore there was nothing changed. But with these same settings we beat the defending USA Pro West Championship team. I would venture to say you spent a thousand times the time scouting, setting up AI and so forth than our team did, as we didnt spend a second doing so.


Thanks for the congrat...good game back at you. I am the GM of Philly. Talk about cop out...you guys have 10 freakin GMs and not one has AI capability, please. As far as this only being a scrimmage, you are correct and that's how I took it. I did not spend that much time on the Aces as you would think, but I did scout them as any good GM would do for his team. As I would think any "PRO" team would do. Especially being such a high level team and all, but I guess you guys were not pro enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it was you guys that came crying in our forum when the Natural beat your Denver squad. Crying about how we have nothing to be proud of because we were picking on your low fruit. So you challenged the #1 team, that was all on you. And you weren't ready...right.

You cry about timing, we had a game vs. the other undefeated team in the division, just a few hours before this game, so that can't be it.

I mean hell they way you "PROs" talk the Aces should have beat us by showing up and out leveling us, but they didn't. Hell if I had time to prepare for you, I would have held you to 100 yards instead of letting you have 200.

So send who you want after us...if we win we win, if we lose we lose. Just know this, we will all be making our way up the leagues soon enough. If this game is any indication of how you play you will soon be relegated to AAA or AA.

Just remember excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and no one wants to hear them.

P.S. Oh and Murgy...Irish Car Bomb love to you brother, I ain't mad at ya.

Pull your head out! You guys are a bunch of girls! Not one of the members of the actual winning team has posted anything but respect for the USA Pro league, as our owner 12thknight demands respect and dedication from all of us, but I can't read this trash anymore without saying something...you guys downgrade us BBB guys as not being elite, or the best, well let me give you a little history lesson:
The Philadelphia Continentals started the Philadelphia Knights, 12thknight bought the team in Season 2, starting a full season behind most US Pro teams, not only that, he received a gutted team with no cash, and players with horrid builds, I was one of the first acquisitions he made and we went 0-16 in Season 2 and got relegated to BBB, we've spent many hours scouting and recruiting to build this team to what it is...we played the Aces because we wanted to test our team against one of the best, not to boast about how we're better...we played a solid game, but most of our players tactics weren't even set to play the Aces as that scrimmage was a mere 3 hours after we played our toughest competition in our league, the only other undefeated in our conference for the fast track to the #1 seed in the playoffs...the aces were not the focus of this team this week Omaha was.

For you guys from BBB that read this and want to stick it to the Pro league I suggest we all get our stuff together, and prove it to them in the Pro league, and quit mouthing these guys, they've proved they are the best teams from the best leagues in GLB and have earned (well most of them anyway) respect and admiration from the rest of this community

For you guys from the Pro leagues that wanna flame this post, go right ahead, it's not going to effect me in the least, but understand that I am proud to be a member of a team that doesn't back down from challenges, and wants to play the best to make ourselves better!

Thanks for your time and sorry this post ended up being so long, I'll keep it shorter next time I troll your forums!

Well Philly, might as well get it started. Please challenge my Red Wolves to a scrimmage. Since you had no problems with the mighty Aces, surely you shouldn't have any with us right?

So go ahead, challenge away, and I'll accept.

Dude, you're 4-9.

When they kick your ass, what leg will you be able to stand on?

What a moronic thing to say. It has nothing to do with that, and I'm not surprised it went over your head.

To break it down for you so it's easier to understand:

1) Philly thinks that beating Aces means they are better than all of USA PRO
2) This is a ridiculous premise, given both the circumstances and reality of only one team beating another
3) I do not believe that Philly can replicate this feat across all of USA PRO.
4) So I have challenged them to continue playing USA PRO teams, this time a team several notches below the Aces
5) If he beats us, then he has another notch in his USA PRO bedpost
6) If he loses, then the Aces game is what I believed it to be - a fluke.
7) If he doesn't even accept, well, we all know what that means.

And for the record, they won't kick our ass, they won't even win. I am virtually certain of it. But they have the challenge on the table either way.

Hopefully I've made it a bit easier for you to comprehend now.

Just FYI, it started (as it always seems to) with somebody coming into this forum...
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=837747

Then apparently "we guys" (I'm guessing flames) went to your forum where the nonsense undoubtedly continued.

We're in USA BBB because we're not good enough to have been promoted the last two seasons, while the Aces have won three championships in a row. We got extremely lucky against a team with an owner who is taking a break and can't edit tactics, in addition to not caring about this game at all.


Summarized it for ya.

FF is exactly right, and the point I was trying to make. I really doubt this team has the heart to even play us, at 4-9, let alone another top tier team like DDL or PP.

They need to make a "Bitch about USA Pro" forum. This is getting ridiculous, and its cluttering up our forum with bullshit.

I don't care that you beat a USA Pro team. I don't care about what league/division you're in. I care about the team I have players on making it to the goddamn playoffs and being #1. If you want to get into a bitchfit about worthless scrimmage games, go ahead. If your team is good enough, we'll find out when it really matters; when our teams face each other in the USA Pro Playoffs. Until then, you are worthless to me.

This is all I'm saying to you.
