FBG/Message Board Survivor: Staff Lineup (1 Viewer)

[Kleck]

I am just looking forward to beating Shick! again...

How much did you win in that league? I got my check.Puh-leeeeeze.

After I dispose of you, I might make you my cat's #####.

Note: I'm new to this trash talk thing. Not really my style. How'd I do?

 

[Kleck]

Quick question: When are the message board participants going to be required to post their player rankings? Just curious.

 

[radballs.]

If nothing else, this contest is truly helping to form a much closer bond between the staff and the board members.

Hehe, not bad, not bad...Just be glad you didn't have to play me in the playoffs.. I woulda owned you like I did during the regular season..

 

[Drugrunner]

I made Alternate!And all I had to do is tell Dodds that I thought Ben Gay had real value in the 5th round this year. Dodds even gave me a ticket for the Short Bus to get home tonight, what a Guy!:stillwaiting:

Radballs, you are truly a wise man. An oracle of wisdom, even. You should get major props in the selection process based on this post alone. No kidding. The underlying beneficial purpose behind the contest has now been revealed for all to see...Intentional or not, there is some B.A.S.S. Tournament quality :fish2: going on by both sides, and EVERYONE is taking the bait and running with it. Truly AWESOME!!! Nowhere else on the web is the offseason so entertaining. Truly a master stroke by the FBG High Command. Well done! The In-Draft Smack Talk Thread that will inevitably accompany the draft is going to be an IMMEDIATE classic, and a serious contender for T.O.Y. I can't freakin' WAIT!!!

 

[rolyaTy]

I expect by the time you guys actually figure out who is on your team, we will have completed about 20 mock drafts, designed a custom Draft Dominator, and solved World Hunger.

Hah. Glad to see the FBG's priorities are straight. Mock draft, customize DD, THEN solve world hunger...This just in: God assures all of FBG's defeat.

Maxwell:

Maxwell ain't smart. Get it? Is my material too dated for you younger yahoos?

Allusion not lost on me Holy S. I think some of the people posting should be forcibly introduced the to "cone of silence."

...So you see Maurile, trash-talking is easy. It just takes a little bit of planning. You can turn a wimpy little "So put that in your pipe and smoke it" into a much more fun "Hey, I'm telling you to stuff it in your !@#$%&* crack-pipe and choke on it, you !@#$%&* simpletons!" without hardly breaking a sweat

Wow! That whole post should be an entry into some type of Discourse on Trash Talking. However, in order to make the name sound more refined, i suggest changing from Couch Potato to "Sofa King Brilliant." Say it with me now.I really like to see people's pride at stake in battles of this kind. I only hope that there will be enough memorable quotes from FBG's assuring victory to be spread around to all MB members so they can be added to their profile.

I actually think this will make these two drafts very fun. Just imagine all the smack that gets laid down before the draft, then again after the first training camp injury. And if one of the teams should actually lose two members in week 1...The talk will never quiet down. It is May and everyone is going at it already.Regardless who wins this competition, Footballguys.com readers are going to be the winners here. I expect these to be some of the best Survivor drafts ever and also believe that this exercise will uncover some outstanding Survivor drafting strategies as well.Plus the player writeups that come from this will be outstanding.and when these things happen, we all win.Just to show we can be good sports, we are now offering $100 cash to the Message Board member with the best writeups on their players.

I expect by the time you guys actually figure out who is on your team, we will have completed about 20 mock drafts, designed a custom Draft Dominator, and solved World Hunger.Just like the real NFL, everyone has a chance right now. Enjoy the time before the draft. On paper, you have an equal chance of winning.

1) So you guys are pretending to be us in the mocks. You using trained monkeys to mimic the staff? Trained monkey's may skew the results because they're smarter.2) Will this draft dominator work. It seems like you have to get to version Q before it doesn't putter and crash like the one of those japanese guys on the extreme sports challenge on spike.3) Stop feeding Maxwell and Harris and you may be able to donate that food to those who need it. World hunger solved.Gator

We went down to Barkley Elementary, rounded up a dozen third-graders, and asked if any of them knew anything about football. They all replied with things like, "Do you want to see my pogs?" and "Harry Potter is so dreamy!" So, we decided that the FQ (Similar to IQ and EQ, but for football) of this group was equivilant to the poor saps Unlucky will end up choosing, so we figured they'd do.We're serving Fruit Punch and Orange Slices right now as Dodds explains the rules.Colin

If you really want to dumb down your competition for the mock, give them these rankings.

We all know the use these rankings for their personal leagues (hint, see which column is in numeric order .JAA

 

[ShadowMaster]

I could talk smack, but since I come from the extra aggressive and rude South Florida region - everyone just ends up pissed at me.It's a inate ability in any SoFla native to be ruder, meaner, and come across with more shock value than almost anyone. New Yorkers give us the strongest run. (JETS SUCK!)Look how many peeps from Miami and Orlando make the real Survivor show - 'Sassy Sandra' is the norm where I live.

Obviously, you have no retort to points 2 and 3.

2) Will this draft dominator work.

2) We're under no obligation to provide you the BEST tools possible for drafting. Even Draft Dominator 1998 would be a far superior product to your mish-mash of fantasy magazines and highliters. You'll take what you're given and you'll like it.3) Oh yeah? Well you're ugly.Colin

I suppose I could have responded sooner...but I just got finished reading the resumes of everyone that wants to play Survivor against the big boys this year. It's too bad one of the MB guys won't make it to the finals--I love SB blowouts.Survivor 2003 Champion

Thanks for the heads up--didn't see that poll until you alerted me to it. Now if Yudkin would bring me my coffee, I have a long night ahead of fantasy prep.

He can prep all he wants.. It won't help. The staff doesn't stand a chance against the message board.I wonder if Chase will even last longer than Aaron.

What is truly humorous is how the newly made FBG staff is so rah rah they don't even realize that they are simply mules carrying out Joe and Daves gruntwork. You are like the 5th grade nerds in the 60's and 70's who get the "privilege" of wearing an orange vest, holding a stop sign, and staying late every day as a crossing guard in front of the school. WHile you get to brag to the other nerds/guards about how responsible you are, how much the school respects you, and how this is a sign of how special you are, the other kids laugh at you, leave a half hour earlier and go play football.So when you are done turtle waxing each other's FBG staff genetalia and raving about how buff it looks, why don't get cracking on your next face off or some such crap. Rest assured, when it time to do the next Draft Dominator, or something important on the site, you won't be invited. They only let the real staff do that job.

 

[1612]

I thought the new guys were just message board moderators. Are they really part of the actual FBG staff? to Joe and Dave for having brilliant hiring practices and getting employees to work not for money, but for message board cred.

You are way off base with this comment. Everyone who is on the staff at Footballguys earns their way on, and then has to continue to produce once we're with the FBG's. Everything I wrote for FBG's the first year the site was up was for free. I did it because I believed that FF is a growth industry and I wanted to be involved in writing about it, with a viable enterprise run by reputable businessmen like Joe and David. Joe and David got to know me because I did an unpaid internship at the old NFLTalk.com site and wrote fantasy/news update pieces there for Ryan Early right before NFLTalk.com got bought by ESPN (Ryan works on the Insider staff at ESPN now). Does those years of unpaid work make me a mule? I don't think so. I considered it an investment of capital (my time and effort = sweat equity) to establish myself as a FF writer.

The new staff guys are here because Joe and David think they have something valuable to add to our staff, not for any other reason. They are now working to build their professional reputations in this arena.

Your sour-grapes attitude shows that you are jealous -- nothing more.

Smack talk galore - this one gets a thumbs up.

 

[radballs.]

Mark,I promise to try some of your recipes. As for your rankings, well, I'd just prefer to use my own. I'll make sure that my wife gets all of your food breakdowns. Using your expert rankings though would be suicide in most of my leagues.

I don't even want to know what the staff is doing to simulate me.But I will give you a hint...that person should probably hung over. I draft best when I am puking into a trash can. :rotflmao:

I did it in Clayton's thread.

 

[bostonfred2]

Can we discuss who had a better draft from the 7 spot?
