Rainman's NFL Smasher Winner #3

[seriousfan67]

seriousfan67, I disagree. Growing up I fought with my brothers all the time. Some of my worst fights were with my best friend. But when it was all done and said we remained bros and freinds.

RJ and I duked it out last week. I will say this. RJ posts his game. He does so with no hype BS. We can't say that about rainman. Who by the way didn't have enough sense to create a different name from his original name.

I'm sorry that the truth hurts some members. I don't understand why any fellow member has a problem when we challenge the legitimacy of another member. Especially, when the member in question has already been exposed as a fraud.

I don't expose the likes of rainman for myself. I wouldn't play his selections now or ever. At one time I was a newbie also. There's lots of newbies that come to this site and buy into the rainman type BS hype. The likes of Wayne, Chuck, myself and others care about the integrity of this forum.

good point frank, but most of that fighting is, or should be, done at home, not in the school gymnasium during a pep rally.... if he is a fraud, that's cool, good job for calling him out, god knows i don't need anyone giving me bogus advice. my ONLY comment was that his is not the only, or maybe even biggest ego around, there are plenty of quirks and attitudes here but everyone seemed to jump all over his shit right from the start, even before he was exposed with those two threads...

That someone was me and i have a knack for sniffing scammers out!

sorry, couldn't agree less. it ended up being at least 4 or five ( if you remember the tag team refference) and it got everyone on here sucked into it, it even spread into different threads.....

Our spat started in a thread that was eventually closed. I called out RJ in a new thread. It was mostly between RJ and me with a few posts from Big Mike. The tag team reference was about me go at with RJ and Big Mike. Go back and read the RJ thread (just don't bump it LOL). Coverboy did not post in that thread until the next day.

Once the mods asked us to duke it out in one thread we did. We weren't posting shit all over the place.

Fan, any newbie that comes to this site boasting a 24-2 record that can not be confirmed is going to be challenged.

As I've stated many time. Guys like Wayne, Spark, Chuck and other are family. We look out for each other. We care about the integrity of this forum. I'm the first to admit. I one of the biggest assholes. That being said. I'll be one of the first to watch the back of my fellow members.

i don't know how you can put a post up like this considering everything that was going on here last week between some of the more well known members....it was much less than freindly, definately not family like OR classy. so, although rainman may be full of shit and an arrogant SOB... there are a lot of glass houses around, be careful

Point taken...There is always room for improvement. Thats why I wished him luck on his game and tried to help him out with his spelling...I keep my mouth shut most of the time, I just post my picks and wish others luck, so I am usually not worried about glass houses...But you are correct in suggesting we all need to check ourselves every now and then. Good luck on your games.

I agree with Kapt - what makes this forum great is the atmosphere of family and class - so I say good luck on the game Rainman!

In that spirit, here is some friendly advice, I think someone who hits 65-83% of his football games would know that Offense and Defense are spelled with an "s" d-e-f-e-n-S-e, not a "c" d-e-f-e-n-C-e as seems to be your way.

In Canada thats the way they spell defense. maybe he is Canadien. Here's an article from TSN Canada.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed aren't playing......who's going to stop them...And Wright was Pgh's 4th string QB....Give me a break...
What happened to Washington yesterday as a dog over NY.....Look for the same thing here tonight.

Well what happened to Tampa Bay yesterday......More and more i read about Pitts this and Pitt that, it's made up my mind and I am playing BALTIMORE as well Rainman...Remember Baltimore isn't that bad of a team, record shows they are shit, but they still have talent....And to say Wright is a 4th string QB, who cares...I don't think K Dorsey would be considered a 4th string QB for most of the NFL teams, then he throws 40 total yds and walk away with a win.....GO BALTIMORE

[seriousfan67]

frank, i, and everyone knows you were involved in that but i wasn't trying to call anyone out or anything like that and i'm sry about it. i was just making a point ( which he aknowledged, no need for further acknowledgement) about us getting "holier than thou", in his post. as for me, i'm staying away from tonights game, it seems like lately when i agree with one capper and against another, the one i go with loses, then i go against him later and he wins...LOL, so i'm just gonna watch to see if any fantasy points are scored..lol.

Baltimore is NOT good and comparing Pitt to T.B., a team with a backup QB and on the road, is ridiculous!

Correct - that's why I said that if he knows so much about the type of football he was talking about, American Football (the NFL), he would know that it is spelled with an "s". But your point is taken.

You are comparing apples and oranges.

First, Tampa is not in the same class as Pitt

Second, Pitt is home. Tampa was on the road.

Third, Pitt has Ben QBing. Tampa had Simms making his first start.

Finally, Baltimore isnt' a bad team? They been horrible this year. Aside from Ray Lewis they have no talent. Especially, at QB.

hahaha ..... I beat you to it!!!

Watchtower, One major flaw in your thought process. Tampa started a QB yesterday making his first NFL start. Pitttsburgh is starting a QB making their 20+ start. That makes a huge difference. Goold luck either way

I am comparing to these games

TB at SF....should be a blow out and TB lost favored by 11

well i think to my knowledge

Balt at Pitts....should be a blow out and Pitts favored by 11

I think you can compare these two game to my knowledge

[frankb03]

hahaha ..... I beat you to it!!!

You have a knack for that today. LOL
