Fair enough.


2 likes by Blondie whom locked out my QB and WR. I guarantee next time we face anywhere, I'll eliminate him from the playoffs. :)



Every CJ post gets a like from me due to all the hard work he puts in running his leagues.

Smirt, I always look forward to our matchups :)

Smirt,

Every post, selection made or someone liking a post isn't all about you!!!

You take everything as an insult or some kind of disrespect when the reality is it usually has nothing to do with you.

You feel like everything revolves around you when the truth is nobody cares about you or your team, just like everyone doesn't care about any of the other 31 teams.

Every owner is focused on their own team and improving their team.in the draft, free agency and resigning their players.

I do what I do here in the XFL because I enjoy it and it really doesn't matter to me what happens.

You have had ALLPROs the last 9 seasons then you have zero this year and now it's disrespect or I'm personally attacking you. Really!?!

Someone likes my explanation about the how and why I select who I do and it's disrespectful! Really!?!

I (Dakota) haven't had an ALLPRO since 2048 and all of the certain, I'm purposely snubbing you while you have 53 ALLTIME ALLPROS which is 4 more than the next closest team (Atlanta).

What really really ticks me off is now owners will think twice before actually liking one of my post because it might somehow trigger Smirt!

I spend way too much time making this league special to have that happen so I don't want anyone to hold back from liking and engaging in the forums. If Smirt becomes an issue then I will take care of it!

Kinda glad I took a day or so off, missed some comment drama it seems. I’m sure tempers were tripped, but I also think both sides perceived more animosity than was intended. As for the all pro team thing, I totally get CJ’s logic for picking who he picks, but I also see Smirt’s point. just because a guy is out of position (because every contender does it, he just goes to another level of overrides) shouldn’t disqualify him from consideration if the sheer volume of statistics are there. I know my boy Cathcart only got all pro because his weight loss capped him at SS while he actually played the MLB for me. How about an offensive and defensive “flex” position like fantasy lineups use? There are a ton of wr and cb listed players that are the key playmakers across the league that aren’t playing those positions, sure the guys actually listed at linebacker and te should get recognition too, but I could argue a 3rd wr or nickel back is part of the modern “base” lineup anyway. Would Smirt win the all pro “flex” positions every year? Probably, but that would also give 2 wr and cb all pro starters for the rest of the league that deserve it as well.

PS, the comment about snide likes also hit home since it’s been used against me in the past and I’ve heard the threats about “next year” multiple times now without seeing the results. It’s kind of like Cowboys fans every year bringing up the glory days and dropping in the wildcard every time…

GG to anyone I missed.

Just wanted to make a post so it was known but I'm going to be abandoning my teams. I don't have the time with my new job and the killer is my ad blocker doesn't work anymore so everything takes longer getting interrupted with all the ads.

Also shout-out to CJ for being the content king and running such a great league(s). If I come back I'll absolutely be looking into joining them again.

Thanks everyone for the memories so far

I've actually said very little. I was kidding around for motivation about eliminating next playoff game. I won't do that again. I get the offense stuff as Whitney got a few of them and Jeter lacked the TDs to give the push there. I'm fine with sitting a season out from the awards. I questioned about Holt since 214 tackles is pretty incredible. I'm good with the explanation and will move on.

I took no offense. I've been competing with you long enough to know when you're being serious or just kidding for motivation.

As far as the ALLPROs go, I've been doing it the same way since season 1 of the league and I have no plans to change it.

I see the whole thing like it's a cost benefit analysis. If you chose to play mostly WRs and CBs and use overrides to gain advantage and win then you miss out on getting consideration for FB, TE, LB and DE ALLPROs.

Look, I haven't had an ALLPRO since 2048 for the same reason so it's not personal. The problem is until JDB actually adds some filters to the stats...It is what it is!

I simply don't have the time or desire to make sure every LT is actually playing LT let alone figuring out who lines up at TE for all 32 teams to find the best non-TE to be named ALLPRO.

Let's take Smirt's Holt as an example. I'm assuming he moves around via overrides depending on formation so where should I name him ALLPRO?

CB Holt is going up against every other CB in the league and I'm looking at passes defended, knockdowns, pass catches allowed and interceptions. The typical cover corner areas. Holt simple slips through the cracks with a ton of tackles because tackles is primarily a LB stat.

In the end, it's something I do for fun and hope everyone enjoys but no matter who I pick, it has no real effect on the game.

Holt still owns the Stats and when the time comes, he will be voted on the Hall of Fame by the committee and ALLPROs are a small factor.

I'm overloaded with contend as it is and I'm not looking to make anything harder then it already is.

Consider also that some owners play the game straight up so their reward is having a chance to have their SLB, FB or TE being named ALLPRO!

AG, sorry to see you go and I'm glad you won a Title before leaving and it goes without saying but you are always welcome back!
