Two parts - emotions and logic

1) More sit/start decisions = more of an emotional rollercoaster = a blessing or curse depending on the person

2) More sit/start decisions + good analysis = more points on average = blessing

I don't want all-play and started this by throwing out that there is more to H2H than many think. I keep going because I don't want the word 'fair' used in this and a lot of other debates because (1) it's wrong and (2) it states that those on the other side are for a less 'fair' system.

I have seen All-Play argued for and I get why and think that any time you can decrease the luck facto...

You want the dead money players to beat your opponents...so your weak team can sneak into the playoffs via better record. Am I correct? Integrity my butt. The above statement is...

Originally posted by Coltsfan: Billy, We aren't all screwed up in Indiana. Take my partner Bob for example....well maybe that's a bad example. There is always Russ who is normal. Ok, maybe not. Well we haven't talked about Jeff Clampitt yet. So I'm 0 for 3. But at least WE have the Colts! Wayne My m...

Originally posted by BONGIZMO: The highest league award does work, I have been in several where people stay with it with the idea of getting some of their investment back.
