| Is John Kerry in this league? by: --hidden-- (Philly Death Squad) | Nov 12 1:17pm |
| Nuttelman you self-righteous liberal ass-hole, you're not gonig to get anyone here to flip-flop their votes unless john Kerry has been a silent co-owner of one of the teams Now for some counter-points... First, as it stands now, having two starting running backs on a fantasy team is unrealistic, and no NFL team would have Marshall Faulk and Chris Brown both running for 100+ yards in a week. Most NFL teams have two starting runningbacks, but one is usually a fullback and we don't have a fullback-only spot in this league because we are sacrificing realism for excitement. Considering there are 31 teams in the NFL, I don't think it is a stretch for our 10 fantasy teams to have 2 starting RB spots and a flex spot. Defensive scoring is not that random. I have had the Ravens the last two years and they have outscored my opponent's denfese nearly every week. Defenses are less reliable than position players, but good fantasy defenses score consistantly- there just aren't too many of them This salary inflation argument is pure speculation. Sure salaries may jump for a few players, but according to Adam Smith and his invisble hand theory, the market forces will eventually cause everything to balance out. If you spend alot on 3 RBs, you will lose out to other people for the other positions. | |

Indeed this was the Gettysburg Address of message board rants- although the accuracy of the actual content is up for debate, the impact of Commissar McKeon's rant cannot be under-stated. This rant opened the door for the flex position and simultaneously gave starting opportunities to untold numbers of players that had been up until that point rotting on fantasy benches.
Commissar McKeon, though unemployed at the time the comments were published, had the foresight to push for radical reforms and change the league to a style that we now take for granted. This post also marked the beginning of the end for owners Teague and Nuttelman, who were deemed dissidents and social undeseriables because of their fantasy football scoring philosophies, and both owners were eventually exiled from the league.
Owner Nuttelman emerged from seclusion years later to attend the 2008 draft. Commissar McKeon was so insensed by Nuttelman's appearance that he stole Nuttelman's toll pass in retaliation.
Johnny, you're absolutely right. This was a watershed moment in International Shoe's history - we watched as dissidents were ushered out of the league and new, socialist-loving comrades were brought in. Absolutely.
