This year we have seen that injuries have swayed the luck / skill meter....First and foremost, the team owner must have a solid draft. Secondly, they should pray they are not crushed by injuries, which are out of anyones control.
So when you have something occuring more frequently that is not in our control, and we all know we are big time control freaks, I would assume it flares up the tempers and boredom here amongst the message board regulars.

SNAKE sent me this and said in a follow-up phone call to me something to the effect that this was "post worthy in relation to Renman and his life" on this thread here. Again and again, please remember that I am only the messenger here and truly do not want to get involved in this and am actually very embarrassed by my role in all of this, but quite frankly, Mr. SNAKE is paying me twice as much as what I originally contracted for.
"Please Be Renman's Girl"
Renman was blue and lonely, he couldn't sleep a wink...
And he could only get unconscious if he had too much to drink...
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere
And each day seemed grey and dead...
The seeds of desperation were growing in his head...
He needed inspiration, a brand new start in life...
Somewhere to place his affection, but he didn't want a wife...
And then by lucky chance he saw in a special magazine...
An ad that was unusual, the like he'd never seen...
"Experience something different with our new imported toy
She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy..."
She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down...
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown...
Renman took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life...
And later in a moment that girl became his wife...
And so Renman sits her in the corner and sometimes strokes her hair...
And when he's feeling naughty he blows her up with air...
She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball...
Renman bounces her in the kitchen and he bounces her in the hall...
And now Renman's life is different since Bobbi came his way...
He wakes up in the morning and has her on a tray...
She's everything they say she was and Renman wears a permanent grin...
And he only has to worry in case his girl wears thin...

Closer to 65% skill than 99% IMO.
~Lance Thats called twisting numbers to make an argument. I think if you put an NFFC champ in a 14 team league with 13 "luck" players who use a 3 month old magazine to draft with then the champ would win 5 out of 10 times. Thats not 99% of the time, thats better! You only win 1 in 14 if everything was luck. Thats 500% skill!
See how numbers twisting works?
It is probably closer to 65%, but my point is that from draft day, to lineup management to FA decisions those all outweigh everything else by plenty...enough that the skilled players have a huge, obvious edge.
I only see one factor you cannot control, someone taking your "targeted" players way before their ADP and ruining your chance of drafting them. If you had Welker as a top breakout guy and his ADP was 8.5 and you had the 7.7 pick and someone else took him at 7.6 then what can you do?

Riff,
You just stone cold lied, but I forgive you, because I know that is what people at times do on message boards. You just flat out made up that I "gleaned" for "3 or 4 paragraphes" about anything. At least you were SOMEWHAT honest at the end of your post when you admitted this is your PERCEPTION, wrong as it is.
route C,
I love how the high schoolers pick things out of context because winning message board debates is like winning the lottery to them. You, being a clown, INVENT that I "regularly trumpet my teams good performances." I did not come to this thread "to talk about my team." You just picked out a post where I talked about a FAILURE of my team in the past.
Why am I even bothering with guys like this...lol Get back to romper room boys... I would like to think you guys are 16, but I know you are likely all closer to 45...lol
Fisher,
Now your post was RIGHT ON THE MONEY and I think it explains the behavior by some of these guys. When the discussion gets back to football (a topic some here clearly are not happy with) I will re-visit. In the mean time, the children here can try to one up each other with the best renman mocking post...lol
grown men... unreal.

[/QUOTE]HEY FELIX THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ANALOGY IS THAT PEOPLE WHO COMPETE IN THE NFFC ARE NOT USING A 3 MONTH OLD MAGAZINE. MOST IF NOT ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THESE ARE THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD THAT COMPETE IN THIS EVENT. THIS IS WHY I FEEL CAN'T BE 99% SKILL. THE SKILL LEVEL OF THE PLAYERS IN THIS EVENT HAVE PRETTY MUCH PLATEUED.

Oh, and while your number twisting is incorrect I'd be far more interested in finding out how you control injuries?

renman...you really are a tool LMAO! Try a crow bar to remove that tightly wedged corn cob....you are way too uptight and serious...in most of your posts.
BTW....the high school...juvenile...16 year old analogies are also boring and predictable. If you're going to insult me at least make it funny.
I can live with that.
