The same could be said for your Duce Staley selection in the first round. Just a terrible, terrible pick. [/QUOTE]Not really. I've explained my rationale before.
Bad picks are those that are not thought out, based on poor analysis or done in the heat of the moment. Not those that didn't work in hindsight. Sorry you're so simple-minded not to understand that. [/QUOTE]I like how you have chosen to attack me personally, rather than based on my track record. Shows a lot of maturity. Are you somehow related to Nag?

Probably shouldn't respond in the am 'til after I get back from Starbucks. Sorry if it was too personal. Aside from the attack, hope you get my point.

Point taken.
I thought San Diego was supposed to be the Land of the Laidback. You should hang with my buddy Mr. Ferrari at the tennis club.

I understand in the overall we are crossing leagues which could be effected by strength of draft. However, in your own league you are competing with the same owners all year. If total pts. are to determine the league champ, then why handicap that after 13 weeks? Nothing else has changed - right? IMO this waters down what has been accomplished in the 1st 13 weeks. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm honestly trying to make sense of this portion of the proposal.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm honestly trying to make sense of this portion of the proposal. 1. currently, the team with the most league points (if not best record team), doesn't even get a chance for the league championship. my proposal gives them a chance.
2. some owners think best record is a better indicator of the best team. other owners think the team with the most points is the best. my proposal gives the most points owner a small head start. you can't drift to far to the left without disenfranchising the H2H owners. giving teams a 90 or 190pt lead in a three game playoff will do that. sorry, my opinion.

GG, As you probably know by now, I'm more in what happens in real life camp. But I'm 50/50 on pts. I like your idea, but I think it needs to go further.
1) Best H2H makes overall.
2) Next highest points makes overall.
3) Top 10% scoring make overall.
For League,
#1 above gets a bye.
#2 above gets a bye.
The next 4 best teams by points are seeded 3-6 and play Week 14. Winners play 1-2 Week 15. Winners play for championship Week 16.
This would help eliminate teams not trying a little bit more than currently.
More importantly, lasting success comes from great playoff races. LV2 has 4 teams in first at 8-4. More playoff teams means more participation, which means more owners, which means more prizes down the road. I know you can relate to that buiness model
.
It also means that guys that drafted real good teams that got hit by early injuries have a chance that they deserve IMO.
TOW prize works. I had 32.5% of TOW winners last week with 5-6 record or worse. Another 15% were 6-5. I doubt Greg will ever use it due to lawyer stuff.

Your point on involvement sounds on the money. A lge playoff along these lines would be a good idea, far more engaging than the current set-up.
