Check the facts before you respond. LionsLover has a history of posting dumb statements in this forum that are proven false, but he keeps babbling anyway. I understand jumping in to help LL because you feel like I'm picking on the helpless, but stop and think about what he said.

LL claimed that Yorkshire isn't "any better" than last season. You don't need to wait for the scores to see that's a load of crap. LL said something dumb because he didn't bother to even look at Yorkshire's roster. Of Yorkshire's four "top player threats," only one was actually on the team last season and that was only for half the year. The starting QB and many others are also new to the team. So obviously Yorkshire is better than they were last season, whether they end up making the playoffs or not. You can whine about me being mean to LL if you want to, but the facts are plain to see. If you have a problem with something I say, prove me wrong, otherwise don't bother responding. I care about being correct, not about whether or not you like my tone, and LL's disrespectful comments towards the other owners in his conference deserved a rebuke.

No, I honestly don't. I think if you cared about being right or were embarrassed about people correcting you then you wouldn't keep babbling after someone proves you wrong. But where concern for accuracy did nothing, I'm hoping that some shame will do the trick.

That wasn't the question. You said that Yorkshire isn't "any better" than they were last season, which was dumb and wrong. I proved that by pointing out how many of their starters are new to the team and have improved their potential substantially. That doesn't mean that they're now a contender or even that they'll make the playoffs, but that wasn't the question.

I gave you facts, while you've given none. I pointed out that not only are their ratings a lot better than they were last season, but that many of their starters are also new to the team. You obviously don't even realize that you insulted the owners of those teams when you stupidly claimed that they did nothing to improve their teams, which was especially irritating because it wasn't true.

So now you're calling me a moron because I embarrassed you and showed that you didn't know what you were talking about. Nice. Believe me, I understand why you got defensive, but instead of that response how about just learning to admit when you're wrong? And if you can't do that, like I said, another perfectly viable option is to not say anything at all. What isn't acceptable is for you to keep flapping your gums after someone proved you unequivocally wrong.

Yorkshire is better and the teams in WEA #3 as a whole are better. You were wrong about both things, and I proved it undeniably. Stop digging your grave any deeper and learn when to stop talking.

I think LL should stick to harping up his own team. Hes real good at that! I dont come out on either side of this argument as it seems somewhat pointless to me but whatever floats the boats.

LL has alot of enthusiam about his team which is great. Wouldnt expect anything less. All I know is he makes me laugh. Especially when a good game (x team not Lewisburg) post pops up and he posts with how well his Dragons played.

Im more upset by Drevens OBVIOUS Alpha conference bias in his latest power rankings he posted. (kidding of course!)

Here is what I stated:

I have to disagree, there are a lot more poor teams in WEA3 this year. We have at least 2 more poor teams in Alpha alone. I think Bort has flooded the market with too many new teams and the lower division in the less liked leagues are suffering.


Poor teams can improve. That doesn't mean they aren't still poor. I have given you facts. Scouting reports mean nothing. Fact. They still are not in any better position to do anything.
I do care about being right, and I am almost never wrong, and when I am I admit it.
You can't embarrass me, your only embarrassing yourself.

Tothehouse: I do hope you realize I'm trying to spark conversation, not just trying to float my boat. It does seem like that, but I like to villianize myself (every league needs 1!)

What facts? You haven't posted any facts. What have you posted besides bluster? Nothing. You run your mouth and when you get exposed as being clearly wrong, instead of acknowledging an error like a normal person, you just run your mouth that much more. It's absurd.

Once again, last season there were several 30-33 teams in Alpha. This year there is only one below 39. Since you don't seem to know what a fact is, that's one, and a particularly relevant at that. Do ratings mean everything? No, but obviously a rating of 39 is definitively better than a rating of 33. Those teams worked hard this off-season to recruit players and get better, which they did. You taking a giant crap on that because you're an insensitive know-nothing is unacceptable, so stop talking until you have something intelligent to say.

If you actually cared then you would check your facts before posting, and you wouldn't end up being wrong so often.

Is that supposed to be funny? You have said more dumb things in the WEA #3 forum than anyone. Remember how you said that Alpha was a stronger conference than Zeta last season even after admitting that Zeta had much better teams at the top and a middle group that was at least equal to if not better than Alpha's? You are prone to saying dumb things and I have never seen you admit to being wrong about any of them, despite incontrovertible proof showing that you were.

Once again, you said that Yorkshire didn't get "any better." I proved with facts that Yorkshire's rating not only improved substantially, but they added quite a few players to their starting lineup. Everyone can see that they did get better, and in fact, it was so obvious that anyone who wasn't prone to saying dumb things would have never made that mistake. So clearly you were wrong, but you haven't admitted it. Nope, instead you've called me a moron and continued your nonsensical babbling.

Look, I understand that you had no idea that you were actually insulting the owners who spent a lot of time and effort making their teams better. You were clueless as to the fact that you were doing that. Your issue isn't one of maliciousness, just insipid verbal diarrhea.

Shutting your mouth spares you any further embarrassment, so I applaud your decision.
