@Nosferatu you're up
@Hall is clearly the level headed one of the group. Probably why he can deal with all those kids at work haha
When did they start their careers? Was it before 2005? Was their career pretty much over by the late 2000s? Then to me they aren't considered modern era players.
And we explained why we don't have nay dead ball players, but you choose not to accept that answer lol or maybe you just "see what you want to see"
But you're right, this is totally just us.
It honestly is.hahaha this is great. So worth scrolling back 20 pages

Calling a spade a spade = let's be honest = just keeping it real or however the hell you want to phrase it. Not sure why not offends anyone. The point I was simply trying to make by posting teams I've drafted in the past containing dead ball players, and explaining how we've been beaten to certain deadball or "1st 80 years of the game" targets is that if you are doing to judge us simply by our roster in this draft, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for us to do the same to you. My opinion was NOT that you are biased against modern players - I figured that you would have more if the draft fell a certain way, just like we would have more old school players - and I even stated as such, then you took it to personal level. Not my style and better ways to spend my time if that's how it's going to be. What happened to the guy that texted me the other night discussing opinions on various players..getting to know each other? Felt there was a mutual respect, a desire to share ideas, opinions etc but obviously I was wrong. The guy you turned into last night figured he knew everything there was to know about me, told me how I felt about eras, called me an idiot (again today) - talking out of my ass etc. It's simple - I'm not spending my life doing that kind of stupid s*** so if that's going to be the norm I'll be happy to leave. Attack my opinions all you want - come at me personally and start telling me how I feel when you don't really know me at all and it's an issue for me.
Don't take this wrong but these drafts are intended in fun. I'm not sure what your drafts are like. But theres no need to knock teams or play politics here. Its more of a family enjoy the drafts and conversations environment. Ive drafted with nos and everyone more times than I know. And I've never seen any hostility. I have-not even sen Nos troll theres a lot of really good people in this forum. We may joke around and insult each other in fun. But I've never seen lame bush league childish trolling like I just read in this forum.@Nosferatu

+1I don't know you, but you might want to check yourself right there Bro. Seriously
BG reads slower after he’s had his medicine
FIFYI am sorry I'm such a Dick
I don't take anything away from trendsetting and I respect their dominance over era. But I feel their era is vastly inferior to that of the 20-30's, and definitely inferior to post immigration up until the early 60's and probably againse the mid/80's to late 90's.
Did y’all have tryouts or just automatically become cheerleaders and +1’ers way back when? Heavens to Betsy I feel like I’m back in school.
Dang, that's petty. I'm starting to wonder if the GOD under your avatar is because you believe him or are trying to establish yourself as one.
