The way you've been sounding the alarm for years about the imminent demise of the NFL, I'm surprised you don't think that's a good thing.

Unfortunate thing about that theory though, 'tart. The NFL is healthier than ever.

Fantasy football is a ..... fantasy, a perversion, not reality.

Really? That $270 I won in the JAFFL last year seemed pretty real to me.

Participation in a league changes the way one views the NFL, the way one cheers, the way one looks at players, teams, loyalties.

So what? Doesn't change my allegiance or my passion for my 'real' team one iota. In fact, it prolly adds to it, as I'm more likely (being the homer that I am) to pick players from the Chiefs juggernaut offense.

'tart, seriously. Have you ever played in a competitive FFL league?

Methinks you either don't know what you're missing, or you had a bad experience one time when some thug like KC Scott beat you up and took your lunch money.

Either way, get off your soapbox. If FF ain't for you that's peachy. But to ignorantly declare that anyone who does enjoy it is some sort of reprobate is waaay off base. It adds to the enjoyment of being a fan. It doesn't detract from it.

Matter of fact, I think in the final baseball league, I believed I edged out a certain UCan't on the last game of the last day of the season.

I guess that means, by the super-duper powers of reasoning on display here, that I know more about all 3 sports than any of you.

Sound logic, morons. But then again, the idea originated with WW, so what do you expect?

Dins, would you like for me to fluff that feathered pillow you're resting your head on?

You beat UCan't back at SCIII? Gee, I hope he never joins any league that I'm in. You either. I'd be really intimidated.

I never have.

If you like playing, have at it.

I doubt my diatribe will deter you at all.

I've seldom gone on the attack toward FF in here, but felt like giving it a rip last night.

No biggie.

No you didn't.

Dude, I was in (and won) the first FFL ever in SCIII - kcdave ran it.

You were not in it.

You are full of shit.

Dinsdale's cack is...........

No way. Dinsadales word is gospel.

If he said it, it must be true.

I sense a really huge pile-on occuring here...paging Mike.

Fucking Awesome!

Thanks Dins, you just gave me a boner.

With this controversy, I have yet another chance to pimp Yahoo, for anything pick'em or fantasy related.

Yahoo has recently added a nice new little feature, and its called the "Fantasy Sports Profile." It shows every single contest you have ever played on Yahoo, where you finished, who else played, the year, the league, and anything else you would like to know. Not only can you view your own profile, but you can view everyone elses also.

Avoiding squabbles like this, and having documented scoreboard ........ just one more reason to go Yahoo next season. :)

He may be full of shit... but your post certainly doesn't point us in that direction.

If the sixth sick shiek's sixth sheep is sick, does that still give nonsequiturs BODE?

"I won the last 3 fantasy leagues at SC3"

"No, you couldn't have -- my team won our Babe Ruth championship when I was 12."

"No, I meant the troll leagues on SC3."

"Nope, you couldn't have -- Abraham Lincoln died in 1865."


Wasn't that you in that baseball league, UCan't? It was a roto league, and you had it locked up, by .5 or a point or something, and in the last game of the last weekend, I assumed I had lost, and quit watching. Then, in the late innings, somebody(Manny, maybe) just went the fuck off, and I ended up winning by .5. By far the closest baseball roto league I've ever been in.

Dinsdale wrote:Wasn't that you in that baseball league, UCan't?.

Yes, it was me. Alright?? Stop pouring salt in the wounds! I admit it. I blew it! I choked. Go away!

Btw -- I won back-to-back 'farm league' baseball championships in 76-77, so there's no way in Hell you won this "so-called" SC3 trophy.

...that'll do er Din's...now hold real still bud!
