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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't even beat the second seed. LOL. Just because you inherit a team in the Pros does not make you a Pro. Challange sent, but maybe we should make you pay. Maybe you should have to beat the Naturals before you show us you are worthy. LOL. Maybe you should start with KC in BBB#8. Start slow big boy. LOL


Damn, I'll be out of town when you guys play. Bummer.

Prediction:
Philly - 35
Wolves: 12

I GM two teams.

I'm currently discharged from AD and in the Reserves getting ready to mob for a deployment and a possibly another one when I return from that.

But, continue to sound like an ass.




If it's true, then I thank you for your service to our country.

I want to make one thing clear: I've been speaking privately with Philly's owner, and he is a top-shelf person and clearly extremely knowledgeable owner. He felt my comments may have been disrespectful to his team, and I wanted to make crystal clear that was not my intention. Philly is a great team and likely to advance out of BBB this year and we may see them here in a few seasons.

The only thing I was saying is that one victory over a single PRO team doesn't mean that BBB is better than PRO. Which is the whole impetus of this thread. Even beating us, doesn't mean it's true, in fact, you argue that beating us may make it LESS true.

And yes, Micah's team Omaha beat the ever loving shit out of us today (and I'm proud to be a part of that team). And Philly beat Omaha. So it stands to reason that they'll beat us too.

But until more BBB teams beat the top tier Pro teams like DDL and Philly, about the only thing you could say is that PHILLY may be a comparable team to teams in USA PRO, not BBB in general.

I could not understand that, if you are part of Omaha why you are jumping on the Pro bandwagon then. You should be proud of the competition. And you are correct that not all BBB team can beat Pro teams. But the heading does say Philly beats Aces. They did throw out the gauntlet and now they make excuses. First it's who cares, then it's we never gave you guys a thoughtand never planned, then it's we had a game at that time, then it's we could not get into the AI (eventhough that team has 10 GMs) All contradictory, why would you need to access the AI if you never gave us a thought, if you never planned on having a game plan???? I just said those are very poor excuses. I point that out and people still want to jump in. You know as well as I do that we had a more important game that night between us!? You say one game does not mean anything, but you only play your division rivals one time...does a win or loss not mean anything? I think I am about done in here...thanks for the fun you guys. Sorry people are taking it so personally even if they mean nothing to SOME people. It means absolutely nothing to us here. We are laughing here and enjoying all the talk we generated. I hope we lose all our scrimmages, then we can learn the weak points of the team and improve. I need to get back to planning for real games, not scrimmages.

Thanks again.

See Joe, that's where my comments were misinterpreted. My only point was that one BBB team beating a PRO team, even two, doesn't mean anything really in a scrimmage setting. But it was made out to mean everything. Aces play a game daily, and I can promise you that Flames is scouting his PRO opponents, not all the teams that offered him scrimmages which he blindly accepting. When he accepted Philly's I would venture he had no idea they were a BBB team.

In some ways, this scrimmage system has more burdens than benefits. It might be more beneficial only to run them in the offseason, with maybe something on the line (FP maybe, or game cash?) that way, they might mean something. But if everyone is not scouting and just seeing whatever happens, I don't see the value or accomplishment in that, win or lose.

And that's where you're wrong, the Aces challenged the Continentals because OTHER members of the BBB 8 were squawking about the Pro's not being all that...to set the record straight NOT ONE member of the Philadelphia Continentals has EVER made the claim that we are better than the best teams in USA Pro, nor have we showed anything but respect to our competitors, the guys who started this thread are not affiliated with us in any way other than being fellow competitors in BBB #8 We follow 12thknights lead, and let our play, good or bad speak for itself, so we look forward to our future meeting! ;-)

I just figured that Kid (The OP) MUST be part of Philly since he's the one that started this whole thing. Now I see that he was just being a muckracker.

Free Agents all across GLB...


Lol if you didn't notice USA Pro only takes the best... we could care less about scrubs that say they can play


If USA pro only takes the best why does it currently stand at 3-0 in favor f the BBB?

Seriously. No one ever said the BBB was better than pro or even that any BBB team was better than the best Pro teams. All that was said is that our best teams can hang with you guys. I think this point has been proven but it's too bad it can't be discussed without a hand full of guys from pro getting all butt hurt. Same thing happened with the first BBB/Pro scrim. The Nats won and I mistakenly came to the Pro forum looking to start discussion and a little trash talk for good times, instead it turned into a big ol' bitch fight.

P.S. Hope everything is fine with Flames

P.P.S Fairforever... The challenge between the Nats and the Elves that resulted from bitch fight #1 is exactly 24 hours from now. Should be fun... hope to give you a good contest.

This has to be a joke. The USA Pro doesn't publicize every time they beat a USA BBB team.

I know off the top of my head the Aces beat two BBB teams. There's probably more from other leagues as well.
