I really hate you some times.

As you told me via aim:

Agreed Mak, Kelsey Grammer sucks.

tpat, I have to ask a couple of questions after your comments about the playoffs and boosting.

Why do the power rankings during the regular season if those wins don't really matter?

I guess I am confused. If a team boosts early, as some of us on the Bullets did (not all of us mind you), and they win games early, shouldn't they be ranked higher, then slowly come down in the rankings when other teams start to boost and then surpass them?

That would be like a BCS poll saying USC and Ohio St. are the top teams based on talent, even if they lost 2-3 games. It just doesn't make much sense. Basically you are saying that our wins don't mean anything, just because some of us boosted, when in fact all it did is take our levels to about even with the opposing team, and we just outcoached them.

Can you show me where us boosting made our levels significantly higher than Kalamazoo or Chicago? I don't see where the advantage is that came from us boosting. Maybe you can show me.

I try to evaluate the teams quality in absolute terms. That means, if both teams were fully boosted, who would win? It works both ways. If a boosted team beats an uboosted team it doesn't mean as much, but if an unboosted team beats a boosted team it means even more. I dislike some college rankings for this very reason, because they go totally on wins and losses and not on how good the teams really are. A perfect example would be Hawaii last year. I don't think they should have been a top 10 team even though they were undefeated, and Georgia clearly showed this (the same Georgia team that my SC Gamecocks beat and held without a TD in week 2). To me a lot of common sense is missing in those rankings. If it was like college and 100% about wins and losses, why even do rankings? Just take the standings, arrange it by record, and then by head to head. That would take two seconds. I try to consider how good the teams are at their max potential and by doing so I think it brings a lot of common sense to the equation.

I think that if a team starts really high in the rankings and slowly falls that is indicative of a bad pollster. To me the more the final week's rankings look like the first week's rankings, the better job the pollster did at accurately determining how good the teams were in week 1. That is also the reason I hate it when people in college football will say something like "they beat a team which is ranked 18 now but was ranked 6 when they beat them" or "they beat the then-6th ranked team." Who cares what they were ranked then? If they are ranked lower now then they were overrated then - if they are now considered the 18th ranked team then that is what they really were whenever you played them, regardless of how much people overrated them. You should get credit for beating the 18th team, not the 6th, because although people thought they were the 6th best team when you played them, we all know now that they just weren't that good. The only legitimate way to say something like this is if 1 or more major stars got injured and that contributed to the teams decline. But usually that is not the case and they were just overrated.

TSE vs. tpaterniti? I must have missed that one. When did that happen? I don;t think I have ever had a real spat with anyone on these boards.

There was one spat. It was in one of the main forums, and I can't for the life of me remember what the topic was or what the issue was or what the degree of the spat was, but there was something you said that lit a fire under me at the time.

I have no clue as to what it was about but I do remember it happened, because you did say something outlandish that either contradicted an obvious fact or possibly you suggested something negative about either myself or our team. I'm heavily leaning towards remembering it being a negative comment about me specifically.

But like I said, I have no clue as to what it was now. If there was a way to search around it could be found but it would probably take a while. I'm sure it wasn't during this season, I'm thinking middle to late last year as the timeframe. I don't recall seeing a reply from you afterwards, I think it was a one-sided spat to whatever your comment was. I will also venture a guess that it was in the GLB main forum, but that could be wrong.

Manning might know, for some reason I seem to think he made an appearance in the thread, perhaps he has some more info?

May have had to do with money and trading CPUs, but if we can't even remember it must not have been that bad!

I just try to be honest. I am not afraid to say what I think but I am try not to take that to obnoxious levels, and I don't hold grudges, so you may see me say negative and positive things about the same person because I try to judge based on what they are saying more than my opinion of them.

You guys are right, we're all boosted.. plus we have weak builds. I'd be surprised if we made the playoffs.

I guess that's sarcasm but in any case you don't play the game to make the playoffs, you play to win the playoffs.

Ahhhh ok, I get it now, thanks!

Bullets boosted. A lot of other people haven't.
I'm Bullet and I have three boosts left on both my guys. Am I not looking like a Bullet?

I think he hates Manning during scheduled times of Noon-8am on Wed-Sat, 4pm-3am on Sun-Wed, 3am-9pm on Tues-Fri, and 3am-6pm on Fri-Tues.

But the love-hate relationship is good for the team, it adds some spice to our chemistry bar!
