I'm sorry about the delay guys my office just move locations over the weekend and we have had a bunch of problems with security systems, phone and fax lines, and a lot of other things. Say the least I'm a little stressed getting everything together which has delayed the release.


Sounds Bueno. In the meantime, here is my completely subjective list of Lion All-Stars.

QB: Jonas McNamora- most passing yards in the conference with a 66.1% completion rate and doing it with the second most attempts in the conference.

HB: Juked Ya- 1720 yards (350 more than 2nd place) and 18 TDs (leader had 19)

FB: Tim Riggins- (don't really know what criteria to grade a FB on- and I'm not watching film on them just to vote. That said...) when you want it in the endzone 15 TDs are an incredible stat for a FB.

WR: Matt Forte- at level 18 the hands down best WR last year. Most yards and most TDs (#2 in both categories was a level 22 WR).
Glue fingers- 5th most yards in the conference and 9 TDs and before he boosted (I think at the end of the season he was level 16 or something)

TE: Felix Tovar- (My homer pick, but I think well deserved.) Though TE Aaron Starr had 21 more yards on Tovar, he did it while being one level higher and on a much better team. Tovar averaged 1/3 of the team's total passing yards, by contrast Aaron had only 1/5 of his team's total yards. Tovar also caught 24 more passes than Starr while they both caught 6 TDs.

Don't really know how to evaluate the criteria other than pancakes (not a fan) and sacks allowed. Instead I like these guys because they have great names.
C: Eatem an smile-
LT: Fraggle Rockhead
RT: Bobby Brawler
LG: Big Poppa
RG: Dog Faced Gremlin

Some of the best statistical D-linemen are not represented, but that was mostly because they should have been that good. Chris Cooper and Mankins Ben Jarvus should be on the top of the list because they outleveled the competition most times. Instead I went with some guys that got the job done at lower levels.

DE: Sausage Crevice- 22 Hrys, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs and 56 tackles(!) at level 15

DE: bill "largemouth" bass- didn't quite pressure as much as many other DTs, but with 46 tackes at level 17, that means several plays got stopped close to the line of scrimmage.

DT: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson- 20 Hrys, 3 sacks, 4 TFLs at level 17

DT: Old Man- 23 Hrys, 1 sack, but 15 TFLs at level 17

OLB: Xavier Adibi-93 tackles, 6 hrys, 10 TFLs, 6 PDs, and 3 FFs. Solid LB.

MLB: Quentin Sands- This was the guy you wanted on your team if you wanted to intimidate the other QB. 16 hrys (only 1 sack, hmmmm, not exactly that good, but can always improve), 7 TFLs, 10 PDs, and 2 INTs. For a MLB, he really lived in the backfield.

OLB: Bam Bam Craig- Did it all, TFLs-7, PDs-8, FFs-4, FRs-2, Hrys-2, 95 tackles and only two missed tackles all year and he did all this at only level 16!

CB: Phil Herhole- (not a fan of the name, but proved a commodity on the field) led conference in INTs at 10 and had 38 PDs.

CB: Just Bringit- 58 PDs and 8 INTs, pretty salty

SS: Red Viper- 88 tackles, 2 INTs, 3 FFs, and 21 PDs at level 18.

FS: Paul Hammes- only 46 tackles, but made up for it with 24 PDs and 5 INTs at level 17.

K: Shulkie Walters- only missed one from inside 30 yards and made 10 of 13 from 30-39 and finished the season at only level 13!

P: Lupe` Fiasco- Sav Rocca had a better average, but Lupe was only half a yard behind while giving up 8 levels to him!

KR/PR: D.H. Peligro- Give me someone better. Best PRIMARY return man in the conference. 31.9 KR average and 19.4 PR average with 3 TDs and he did all this at only level 13! That's sick.

Let the argument begin...until Borsdt comes out with his stuff.



When it comes to HB's take a look at Fatt Nasty. He's a Back up. His stats are will in line with the other guys and he is a back up! Pass Rock split time at QB and has much less attempts than the rest at QB and Canden Johnson has 10 INTs at SS. "DeSean the one Jackson and Glue fingers were up there in yards and TD but had way less receptions. I know all these guys are on my team. But I'm not being biased. I thought we were looking at What the players did with the chances they had. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong. A QB with a lot of passing yards because he has a bunch of attempts is good. Maybe that was the game plan maybe the run gamw wasn't as strong who knows. But a guy with similar yards and TD's with fewer attempts is better in my opinion. And that goes for any position.

over 1400 yards in a season is stellar !! I Don't plan on that next year for him tho.

While I don't disagree completely with what you say, but the reason I mentioned the pass attempts was because the offense had to revolve around the QB. The high pass attempts show that the offense went mostly through the QB. When you factor in that he still had over 66% completions WHILE still carrying the team it shows me he did a great job doing it. In that situation you can forgive a portion of the INTs because he does handle it so much (a good way to see this is to see the INT/pass attempt). That is why I don't agree with the 'going for any position' argument.
It does show prowess at the position, it does not factor in fatigue, system, or importance of the position in the offense/defense (rotating at the position). Following this concept, it will be really interesting to see how Michael Turner and Felix Jones do this year in a starting role (other players that have not fared so well solo while doing well sharing the load [yards/attempts, TDs] are Lendale White, Ronnie Brown, and Cadillac Williams(sans his rookie year).

Beltway Bandits are horribly run and with a bitch ass owner. Don't sign with them. They traded me 3 days later after re-signing me to a deal and "deferred bonus" with promises. They then signed 2 HBs at higher level with bigger contract/bonus. Loyalty doesn't mean anything. The team getting me is going to get screwed. I am unequipping and making a new character. Good bye all of africa.

yes Cooper was the best DT.

Borsdt said that only 1 person from the Elephant conference voted so it won't be fair to decide an overall winner. If he reads this I would just put everyone's vote into an excel spreadsheet and post it on Google Docs or something so everyone can see who voted for what.

At this point we don't need to know who won but it would be nice for the players to see how many votes they got and from whom.

I didn't send in any votes. Without having watched every game last season, I'm not sure I could really make an informed choice. I could vote for the guys on my team, and the good players on the team we played, but that seems kind of lame.

How many people that voted actually looked through game tape? I didn't, but still gave my opinion and it didn't take too long. The point is that Borsdt was going to do it for us and it would have been a fun way to fuel some shit-talking coming into the off-season and into this year. What is more lame is that you didn't take any time to send in a ballot.
