Fudd - sign up for the main. you should destroy whoever is in your league, right?

Maybe it's beneath a man of his prowess to get involved in such an amateurish event?

So far so good. Did the Shawn Childs league and a slow draft and was happy with our results so far. How about yourself?

Fudd i have to finally speak in myself playing in the Kimo league.I dont know if you know my expierence in the Kimo league but it didnt go smoothly.After the draft i wasnt able to get in the league for about 7 to 8 week's.That's 2 months of missing out on the free agents like Carlos Pena that year who hit 47 homer's.Finally we connected about week 8 that week i left a message to put in a relief pitcher for one of my holes this late ,well Kimo put in Livan Hernandez who had one of his famous 9 runs in one inning.My you my message was on a friday well before he put in Hernandez on sunday.Also that week we finally talked on the phone, since i still wasnt on i asked if i could bid on a player and he said yes.So i bid 250 dollars on Cust and found out later i lost to the man taking my bid.[he did bid 500] Finally after 2 months i was in , i think finishing 4th was pretty good.Know i was going to just let it go but just one to many hall of fame jokes. Hey overall i still lost and didnt get the job done but as you can see my journey was a little different then everyone else.

One more thing i lost a side bet to somebody possible yourself that year and paid the 100 dollars.And to be clear about the 7 to 8 week's,who ever was in my starting lineup was in.No changes or pickup's.

eddiejag · Post by **eddiejag** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:03 am

Wow Fudd your quick.I also remember our talk ,i wasnt sure if that was you[fudd] but it is.The Kimo league does have a lot of talent and Kimo has added some of the best players into his league the last couple year's.Good to see you on the NFBC boards and wish you luck this year.And rembember the key to winning the KIMO league is never give your bid's to Kimo, lol just kiddin.

headhunters · Post by **headhunters** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:57 am

eddie- you was robbed! i think eddie should get a discount if he enters. 8 weeks? heck with all the changes people make in 8 weeks to their starters- that is a lot to make up. then you bid with a guy and he wins the bid? yikes. kinda glad you are out- from your record and the stuff you post- you probably whoop our butts. except fudd of course.

Great to read that you had a great memory of the league. Do you also remember how much it cost you to play the league? I paid your entry fee. Why? Because you are a good guy. I think that may be the reason why you didn't even try to get in the league for 7-8 weeks. To my memory, after you contacted me about your problems. I sent you help right away. Then your son, got you into the league.

Eddie, you are like me. We are not computer savy. But please, do not blame me for you not getting in for 7-8 weeks.

All the best Eddie

and how did you do Mr. Duck against Ferrari's all reliever team a few years ago.

Yes I have won several leagues with an all reliever staff and against very good players. We don't play simulation leagues - in rotisserie leagues it is a valid strategy just like punting Saves or punting Stolen Bases are strategies that people have used and done well with.

Come on up to Vegas and we'll see if you have game Kimo tried that S against me before and I beat him like a drum with it. Another player here tried it a few years ago as well and I slapped him to sleep and then slapped him for sleeping.

Kimo is tough, he finished in front of me last year, but I would think he would tell you that I'd got the best of him through out the years. He now knows that that kind of amateurish trick won't work against real players. I believe that I finished 1st the year he tried that? I could be wrong, it might have been 2nd. There have so many damned money finishes there I can’t keep track. Why don't you sign up and give it a whirl? You'll cry uncle by the break. You won't find too many weak links there to pull it off.

I have no axe to grind with you, only a strong difference of opinions with players that try to skirt the spirit of the game for which it was intended. I think it hurts the game and makes a mockery of it. It’s baseball not a math test.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors, FUDD [/QUOTE]An amateurish trick that wont work against real players, ya know the ones that wont play in high stakes events, but just talk alot of crap. [/QUOTE]I'll talk crap to you all year wise guy from the Kimo league, that's where I reside for you guys to try and beat me. I love it here on the board and have met some great pplayers and people throuigh it. You will probably be one of them. In the meantime, why don't you try and do what your 3 hall of fame players can't do (at your own game I might add) and that's BEAT FUDD!

Instead of you calling out my skills, why don't you riddle me why you haven't commented on the all reliever squad instead of "WHO" I am. Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough.

If you want to know why I just can't play here, please give me a call and I'll be happy to explain it to you. Take care, Fudd [/QUOTE]Do you win every year Fudd? Sure sounds like it from your posts. I have seen the all RP strategy work, doesn't mean I believe in it. It has it's time and place, but in a total K league I think it is a dumb play so I agree with you. As for why you don't play here, who really cares.

Until you have played in the Main Event and won on this stage it really doesn't matter much. Winning a local league(and that is still what the Kimo league is) is nice, but we have all done that. I look forward to having the opportunity to play in the Kimo league with you. The talking crap is fun and enjoyable for sure. As soon as I get my ducks all in a row we can have our fun. Till then enjoy the boards, they are a blast!

Craig

Honestly, I have never entered the Main Event but it is a big goal of mine because right now it is the "biggest stage".

But when I hear this, "Until you have played in the Main Event and won on this stage it really doesn't matter much."

It really urks me. How does winning or losing in the NFBC define you as a competitive fantasy player? It's almost as if you're saying, if you spend $1,300 on an entry, you must be pretty good. A lot of great fantasy players have never and will never play in the Main Event. That is a fact.

I can tell you right now, Fudd is one of the best I've ever played against. And as far as comparing the Kimo league to being just another "local league", you are way off base and you clearly have no idea what kind of competition runs through there. It's kind of like this, let's say the Main Event is full of major league teams, the Kimo league is nothing but All-Stars.

Alright, I'm done with my rant. Good luck in that league. It's gonna be tough.

headhunters · Post by **headhunters** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:34 am

crazy- here is a clue- what message board are you and fudd posting on? that is why people are saying that. post this anywhere else and plenty of people will agree with you. the guy that just won 300,000 in the wcoff finished last in my 1st wcoff league in 2002. i would have to be on life support for about 2 months to finish last in a league in football or baseball and i am not even that good. luck plays a roll. especially in football. i would just like to see you draft a team that supports your posts. if you do - you will be good. mike

Hey Perry, Hey Greg, I have an idea -- one of us should start a thread about that NL mock we did last week
