Hollywood, with all due respect, you’re wrong. Any owner with multiple teams has an advantage over another owner with only one team. That owner has more money in and less profit out, but as a single team owner, I’m at a disadvantage in winning the overall.

Toscano, way to misunderstand the post.

John, sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack the thread and diminish your winning the Online. I should have started a new thread. You did an excellent job, with 2 of the 3 in the playoffs, ending up 1st and 52nd. If it is a 1000 team contest, it is your team against 999 others. Do you feel better about your odds if those 999 teams represent 999 owners instead of 500 owners? If you were standing in line for a 1000 ticket raffle, are you mad at the guy in front of you that bought 10 tickets, leaving you with ticket #478 instead of ticket #468? Instead of whining about the multiple team owners, figure out a way to compete at their level and take their money!

Congrats John! Great drafting and team management! What are you going to spend all that money on??

I think I understand what Aragon means. Comparing it to a raffle ticket is invalid though because everyone has the exact same odds of winning. I'll bet Aragon had no problem though with all the multi-team owners whose teams didn't do well; they contributed to the prize fund. But when you have GOOD players doing multiple teams, I can see how they might have an advantage over (1) lesser-skilled players, which really wouldn't matter how many teams the good player had, and (2) even over equally-skilled players with less team entries.

Congratulations John !!!!!! Man, I don't know if you were following but we were in a crazy tight race for $5000 bonus for best score (combined classic and OL Championship) It came down to the last game and the last drive. You edged us by 1 YARD. Yes, .1 points. I am still hoping for a stat change

Great job ! Congrats !

Great job ! Congrats ! OUCH. That hurts so badly. I can't believe how often this happens. It's really uncanny to think how things could be that close.

I needed to correct my first post on John Rundle's winning Online Championship team. He had two teams reach the Championship Round and the one that won it all was the one he drafted on Aug. 27th at 5 pm ET. Congrats to that team John.

It's interesting to see how John won this $60,000 grand prize. He drafted from the 5th spot. Here's his draft:

TOWNIES
Round 1: LeSean McCoy
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Wes Welker
4. Felix Jones
5. Percy Harvin
6. Reggie Bush
7. Julio Jones
8. Jimmy Graham
9. Jacoby Ford
10. Greg Little
11. Rob Gronkowski
12. Brandon Gibson
13. Ronnie Brown
14. Montario Hardesty
15. Philadelphia D
16. DeMarco Murray
17. Chad Henne
18. Jason Avant
19. Matt Bryant
20. Donnie Avery

His biggest free agent pickup was Nate Burleson on Oct. 21.

Nice job John.

That's some serious balance.

Stud QB - Check with Rodgers
Stud RB - Check with McCoy (and Bush late)
Stud WR - Check with Welker
Stud TE - Not one but two with Gronk and Graham.

Helluva team.

Nice job John. That has to be one of the best drafted teams of all time. Congratulations!!!
