Dude, kickers are buff when you get them to higher levels. My kicker, Magreb Yuzbejskisovichkinski, was 6 for 6 on FG today. He hit from 25, 26, 31, 37, 38 and 42 yards!This really helps pile the points on.Also, Otis Scupper ran for another 155 yards today.MVP! MVP! MVP!

5 fumbles and is about 8th in the league in YPC from backs that have at least 100 carries.

Well, most of those fumbles were early on, and only 2 were lost. Also, while you conveniently point ou that I am 8th in YPC, you dont point out that I am averaging more yards per game than anyone.

Because you are given more carries per game than anyone.

Well, if I built the guy to carry a workload, how is that a bad thing?Its like the NFL, if LT can carry the ball more than another RB, isn't that a good thing?

It's not that he's the only one who can, it's that he is given the ball that much. Any of the backs on that list could do it if the gameplan was set up that way. Hal9000 is also a good deal ahead of the pack. If the MVP were to go to a RB, he would be leading the list at this point in time.

My team doesnt average any more rushing attempts than yours does. In fact, we average more yards passing a game than the FFA does.

Hmm....yeah, because you're getting more carries. So what?

So you're saying if we gave Keys Myaths, the league's best kicker 300 carries a game, and he averaged 0.9 YPC, he'd be the MVP?

Of course not, but he didnt average 0.9 yds a carry. Top YPC in league: (minimum 100 carries, and 450 yds rushing)4.9 Hal9000 (8 games, 790.5 yds, 98.8 per game)4.6 Ben Haskett (8 games, 497 yds, 62.1 per game)4.6 Ricky Love (7 games, 490.5 yds, 70.1 per game)4.5 Walter Payton (8 games, 853 yds, 94.8 per game)4.5 Thomas Desroaches (8 games, 676 yards, 84.5 per game)4.5 Drifter Nagurski (8 games, 645.5 yds, 80.7 per game)4.4 Otis Scupper (7 games, 835.5 yds, 104.4 per game)4.4 Dean Blevins (12 games, 586 yds, 48.9 per game)4.0 Xander Brock (10 games, 634 yds, 63.4 per game)You are absolutely correct that there are other backs that are averaging more yds a carry, but is that .1 or .2 per carry that big of a deal?

Yes, you get more carries so you get more opportunities to break out a big run.

Yes, but you, as the owner decided to give the RB1 more carries so your player would get more stats. Other teams decided to go for a Thunder/Lightning approach and give carries to 2 guys. That doesn't make you better.

Hey...the LA Riots are winning games.

He's a FBG.

Maybe he's a little over exuberant about his own guy, big deal.

Here's to the Milwaukee Free For All meeting The LA Riots for the conference championship...the winner to play the Detroit FBG's.

Seriously, other guys on the site know that you cant set it up to give one guy more carries than another. its all predicat4d on staimna. if you give your guy enough, he can run longer before coming out. My team averages one less rushing attempt than the FFA team. I have 2 RB's and one FB that get the ball. Its because my guy's stamina lets him stay in the game longer that he gets more carries. That is why he is valuable.

Ok, so you have a bit more stamina. Doesn't make you the best RB. Hal9000 is in a category of it's own.

I've never played it, but searching the internet I found the text-based football simulation "Front Office Football". It apparently supports multiplayer. Any interest in this? The game costs $30 on the website, but we could probably negotiate a FBG discount. *shrug*

Front Office Football has been around for over a decade. Good stuff. I've never tried their multiplayer stuff but have played their college version quite a bit. Oh - and you'll never get a discount. It's a pretty established franchise.

I'm not sure what was offered but I still would like to come over to the Springfield Duff Men to anchor the O-Line.

I've got a Level 5 (will be L6 tomorrow) OT that I would love to move to a FBG team if possible. My owner is already trying to re-sign me to a longer contract but if I'm going to sign a longer term deal anywhere, I want to be with one of you cats.

Check it - Wee Bey Brice (for you The Wire fans)

I opened the kimono so you should be able to see some stats. Make my owner an offer and let me anchor your O-Line.

EDIT to add: I am going to jack up my special equipment Codpiece here in a few so Wee Bey gonna be da shizzle.

Offer made to your owner

If you are a L7 playing at 70% and less during part of the game, a L5 would be doing a better job during those times.

Hey DuffMan. I'm GM'ing for a team and I'm about to offer a trade for Dr Doom (LB) for a good Level 4 QB...we (Springfield) don't have a backup and he's an active owner. Just not getting any PT for us.Plus, it's in the same league as all of these dooshy FBG teams. Just an FYI.
