The fact remains you are not the only team to have recruited some high level talent. your team((especially AZ)) has been very vocal about how good you guys are...that is automatically going to put a bulls eye on your entire team.

heck even I can't wait until the wasps bulls and you guys start playing each other. should make for some excellent games.


Now *I* feel like i should clarify I agree with Saerin, i got nothing against you or your team Bolt. I dont blame you for wanting to bring in the highest level talent you could find. You wont hear me dogging the Bulls or Wasps either. Nothing you guys have done is against the rules. Do i agree with it and the system that's in place? No, of course not, but that's neither here nor there.

I just think it's idiotic to not have some sort of cap on a AA league when it's just too damn easy for trophy whores to bring all their highest level guys to these leagues, when Pro teams (otehr than the top pro teams) have a hard time fielding fully competent rosters. I have a level 43 DE playing AAA ball because he was the best the team could find at the time. If that doesnt tell you something is wrong with the system, then i dont know what will convince anyone.

Bolt, youve never been on here bragging about your team etc, and neither has Jeremy or trazer (and frankly, with the players you have, you really *shouldnt* be). If you guys cant win with that much ringer talent, then there's something wrong. I realize AZ is probably 13 or 14 or something just by the way he runs his mouth (keyboard), so i think that's rubbed a lot of people (not just me) the wrong way. Unfortunately, that comes down on your team as well. Anyone that's known me for some time on here knows im as good a sport as anyone. I have full respect for teams that win games within the spirit of the game (ie, no cheese plays run over and over, etc). You guys have a great team, but i stand by my initial opinion that it's a AAA roster (with some pro guys mixed in). Not dogging you at all, just the system. To give Bort credit where it's due though, at least theyre fixing the lower leagues. But with players hitting 60+ all around GLB now, you have to have SOME distinction between level 45 leagues and level 60 leagues, otherwise youre just asking for more and more gut jobs by teams that cant compete at the level theyre at. That's just no fun for anyone. It's like allowing Division I college athletes to play in high school leagues. I hope they fix this in the future, but im not holding my breath.

Blah Blah Blah, What an asshole!

its not the levels fellas... its ALWAYS about the builds.



Oh, i agree with this... to a point. AZ probably felt his team didnt have the builds to compete in AAA, which is a slap in the face to those guys unfortunately. BTW AZ, no cry babies here man, dont flatter yourself. Unless you consider facts = crying. If it meant so much to me as to make me cry, dont you think we would have brought over a bunch of our Pro and AAA guys to the team to win an e-trophy with ease? We have too much respect for our guys who've been here since expansion, so we've stuck with them and added some players along the way.

That's why i had so much respect for Kenya last season. They did it with their expansion roster from season 5, not a bunch of season 1 guys brought over from a AAA or Pro team. EJS1111, it looks as though you guys are doing the same. But keep in mind, you havent played anyone with a roster full of 58+ players yet either though. A shitty built level 58 is still better than a well build 45... especially now with VAs. There's a lot of room for error when you have an extra 65-70 SPs to spend But im sure the Knights will prove me wrong and stick together in AAA next season once promoted


Just to clear things up on what went on with our players. Az decided he did not want his team due to personal reasons. Many of the old bombers were leaving anyway and many of the guys wanted to stay together so they all came over here no funny stuff just a bunch of guys wanting to be together. I can also assure you their builds could compete in AAA and even be somewhat competitive in pro. Also about our running game. We have chosen not to really run the ball much at all this season so far. Hence our low rushing totals however i can assure you if we pound the ball we can stick with any team in this league on the rushing front as well.


As somebody else said, I also have respect for lightningbolt. I've competed against him for 3 or 4 seasons now (can't remember). He's been a good guy. He is classy and respectful in everything I've seen him do.

Your right LB is a good guy and I am sure he will treat you nice. Well only if you stay in that submissive position

What are you trying to date him? You sound like a bitch looking for a good man!
