what ones would you vote for/against? thanks
1. BBDS
2. league playoff
3. add one roster spot for the playoff weeks You want my absolute honest opinions?

1. Against - Definitely like the idea but not sure if it's the right change for a high stakes contest like NFFC.
2. Against - Did not give it much thought but my initial reaction is that it unnecessarily complicates and does not improve the current system, just makes it different.
3. Against - Simply a horrible idea.

GG, I have won money leagues at Antsports, Empire, CBS Sportsline, and ESPN. (These are money leagues, I won't add the numerous wins in lesser/free leagues). I also have been in many "local" money leagues. My money was won all over, not just by a one shot lucky run in the NFFC (yes, you were very lucky and we all know it). I have not cashed in the big events, but I was in the running in just about every league I was in. I am usually near the top in points scored but came across scheduling matchups where I would lose to the top point scorer of the week. I was handed injuries but yet always remained competitive because of my depth.

I am a top competitor, I just haven't been lucky like you.

And to answer your question.... I have won well over $20,000.00 playing fantasy sports. And it wasn't in just ONE league, it was spread over many different leagues and setups. Thank you... next

To answer your question, FAs are not even being discussed so it is irelevant and a pretty stupid question.... next just like i thought. wussed out.

FA are resources EXACTLY like draft slots are. the same principles apply. blind bidding for FA and blind bidding for draft slots. [/QUOTE]So, are you saying the talent in the FA are better than the talent taken in the first 10 rounds of the draft????? Ah, what it is like living in a fantasy world.... GG, send me some of the stuff ur smoking cuase it must be pretty good.

GG, as far as my opinion on the system, I answered that several times, but in your need of your lonely MB life, you failed to actually read AND understand. You have problems with that.....

For the record and I will type r..e...a...l slow so even you can understand

I said I like the idea, but not for the NFFC (or any other major multiple league event). It does not give the even playing ground across the board for ALL teams to have the equal showing for the main big money prize. It is the randomness thats keeps everyone even going ino the event.

You're so hell bent about your own agenda, you are not seeing the big picture. If you think it will help the better owners, wrong. If you truely want a "Best Gamer", the only way to do that is to have random slots AND find out your draft position when you arrive at the draft. That will show the best player is, nothing else. It isn't where you pick, it is WHO you pick.

Let us see if we can agree on certain things here:

Do you agree your team is largley shaped by your draft? ( we all kow the answer is yes)
Do you agree that luck plays a good part of the game? (we know the answer is yes, imagine if Stve Smtih DID NOT go down for the season last year)
Do you agree you only suplement your roster with FAs? (This is usually very true b/c very rarely will you find studs in the FA market)

We will start there for now...
